(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”) LATE EDITION
1. The Dodgers swept the Colorado Rockies over the weekend as they won three straight games on walk-off home runs by rookies. Matt Beaty on Friday night, Alex Verdugo on Saturday and Will Smith on Sunday all hit walk-offs as the Dodgers became the first team ever to have rookies hit walk off home runs in consecutive games.
2. The Dodgers plan to extend the netting at Dodger Stadium after a fan was hit by a foul ball Sunday.
3. The Portland Trail Blazers traded Evan Turner to the Atlanta Hawks for Kent Bazemore.
4. Former Covina quarterback Nin Burns II was playing cornerback and receiver for Diamond Ranch at the SGV Shootout Saturday.
5. The Bonita Air Assault is this Friday and Saturday at Bonita High School.
6. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees was awarded more than $6 million by a jury in a diamond fraud lawsuit.
7. Former San Dimas pitcher Peter Lambert started for the Rockies Saturday night against the Dodgers and worked five innings allowing just three runs. He also had two base hits and scored the first run.
8. Former NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury has been named the head coach of the Bejing Royal Fighters of the Chinese Basketball Association, where he retired from playing last year.
9. Argentine soccer star, Lionel Messi, who some have said is the greatest of all time, turns 32 today.
10. The U.S. Women’s soccer team beat Spain 2-1 Monday to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Megan Rapinoe scored both goals on penalty kicks.
If you call having a big mouth and strutting around the campus like a peacock as having personality to spare well yeah I guess.
I definitely miss the days when Roddy Layton ran things up on the hill. He was the Pete Carroll of Diamond Ranch, a fellow who was no stranger to scandal, but also somebody who had personality to spare. DR was actually conceived as a public school that would emulate a private school, so it’s no surprise that still, parents send their kids there to get something better than what obtains at the standard government-issue establishment.
I am a Covina fan but their was writing on the with this with his younger brother transferring to northview! My question is why not transfer to northview and play receiver there! That would have been a deadly combination of talent!
Is going from Covina to Diamond Ranch a step up or a step down?
