(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)
1. The Chicago Cubs are set to hire Padres bench coach Rick Renteria as their manager.
2. Louisville’s Kevin Ware, who suffered a gruesome broken leg against Duke in the NCAA Tournament in March, returned to the team and played in an exhibition Wednesday night.
3. Veteran Miami Dolphin players offered overwhelming support for suspended guard Richie Incognito while displaying anger toward offensive tackle Jonathan Martin, who left the team after claims of harassment and misconduct.
4. The Dodgers are discussing a multi-year deal with manager Don Mattingly.
5. Monrovia’s last Rio Hondo League loss was October 26, 2007 when Blair beat the Cats 38-26 at Monrovia.
6. Monrovia senior running back Kurt Scoby: 114-1353 yards, 21 TD.
7. Mt. View senior running back Jose Moreno: 174-1465 yards, 15 TD.
8. On this date in 2008 Rosemead beat Gabrielino 36-6 to improve to 4-0 in the MVL and 7-2 overall. The Panthers went on to beat Arroyo 50-12 the following week and advanced all the way to Mid-Valley Championship game where they fell to Paraclete 21-10.
9. Norwalk senior linebacker Jose Abrina: 61 tackles, 35 assisted, 96 total.
10. “What I said is Incognito is 100 percent wrong. No individual should have to go through that, especially in the workplace. But at the same time Jonathan Martin is a 6-foot-4, 320 pound man. I mean at some point in time you have to stand your ground as an individual. If someone like Incognito says ‘Hey you’re going to pay this $15,000 bill to Vegas? No. Stand up for yourself. My father always told me don’t let any man run over you, stand up for yourself. And I think that’s what Jonathan Martin should have done. Am I wrong for saying that? No. I’ll say it again.” – Giants safety Antrel Rolle.
