    Mater Dei seniors deliver in clutch to turn back Santa Margarita in water polo
    SANTA ANA Mater Dei’s boys water polo team has endured more than its share of change in the past year. But not everything is different about the Monarchs.
    The team’s experienced seniors made that point loud and clear Thursday night amidst a rocky Trinity League sea.
    With visiting Santa Margarita surging for an upset, Mater Dei veterans Ian Minsterman, Warren Loth and Kaden Kaneko coolly replied with a three-goal flurry in the fourth period that led the Monarchs to a 9-6 victory and 2

    LOS ANGELES — The last time Jason Collins came to Staples Center before Thursday night, he remembers feeling nervous and excited. Simply by stepping on the court, he was preparing to make history.
    It was Feb. 23, 2014 when Collins became the first openly gay player to check into an NBA game, playing for the Brooklyn Nets in his hometown of Los Angeles. It was an event saturated with media coverage, and Collins had to remind himself it was a normal day at work beforehand.

    Chargers rookie safety Derwin James excels in pass rush, but is that his strength?
    COSTA MESA – As the quarterback’s cadence began, Derwin James crept deviously towards the line of scrimmage. The second quarter had just begun, and the 49ers were already eight plays into a long, steady drive. The defense needed a spark. So Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley dialed up a safety blitz. As the ball was snapped, James burst off the line like a bullet from a gun.

    The important issue is Brett Kavanaugh’s character now. What stumbling blocks he worked through as he matured are only mildly interesting. And the character of the man I see now does not impress me.
    Instead of requesting a review by the FBI, or owning up to accusations, or agreeing to discuss the incident — although he doesn’t readily recall it —  instead of being an adult, he just denies it all.
