• Retreat to Red Mountain Resort for health, wellness and adventure

  30-04-2019 02:15
  
  Standing before the sweep of Padre Canyon, Utah, under clear blue skies and a cathedral of impossibly red rock, I peer over a sheer cliff and into a narrow slot canyon, so deep that its floor is dark.
  I hear the metal click of the carabiner securing my harness to the main rappel line and another sound, which comes as a shock: my own breath, deep but struggling to stay even. Red Mountain Resort’s hired expert guide, Todd Perkins, gives me an encouraging nod, while another first-time canyone

• Fryer on baseball: Beckman vs. Capistrano Valley might be best of first-round playoff matchups

  30-04-2019 02:12

  That’s because he never looked.
  Lavalle, Beckman’s baseball coach, this year did not try to predict his Patriots’ first-round opponent for the CIF-Southern Section playoffs.
  “I’d never get it right,” said Lavalle of previous predictions, so he quit trying.
  Playoff brackets for the seven CIF-SS divisions were released Monday morning as Lavalle went about his everyday business at Beckman, a public school in Irvine that is par

• Whicker: El Camino College baseball team plays and pitches through the pain

  30-04-2019 01:20
  
  TORRANCE — The El Camino College baseball team was supposed to meet at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 19. A game against Taft would follow.
  Nate Fernley, the coach, sent out a text that moved the meeting to 9:30. Only a few knew why.
