    Fairmont Prep loses San Joaquin League boys basketball opener
    LONG BEACH – Teams usually are very hyped about playing their league opener.
    So it was strange that Fairmont Prep’s boys basketball team played with little enthusiasm for its San Joaquin League opener.
    The Huskies lost to San Gabriel Academy 54-35 on Saturday in the league opener for both teams. The game was played at Long Beach City College as part of the Lute Olson Legacy Classic. Fairmont-San Gabriel Academy was the fifth of six games played in the event.

    Rams’ Puka Nacua shakes off drop to make game-changing pass breakup
    CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It was the type of play that Puka Nacua has made look routine this year. Go ball, perfect throw from Matthew Stafford, likely ending in a touchdown to put the Rams up 10 before halftime in their wild-card round playoff game against the Carolina Panthers.
    Instead, the unthinkable: Nacua dropped the pass, the ball bouncing off his reliable hands. Nacua lay on the turf at Bank of America Stadium, not in physical pain but instead in mental anguish.

    A man climbing near Black Star Canyon Falls on Saturday, Jan. 10, was in critical condition and needed helicopter rescue from the remote area following a fall.
    The victim, whose name wasn’t immediately available, fell while trying to climb in the area at about 2 p.m., said Greg Barta, fire captain and public information officer for the Orange County Fire Authority.

    LOS ANGELES — In reflection of UCLA’s recent two-game skid, head coach Mick Cronin’s greatest focus, he said, is to build a culture of toughness and getting defensive stops.
    That process took a positive step Saturday as the Bruins (11-5, 3-2 Big Ten) allowed their lowest total of the season, in a 67-55 win over Maryland (7-9, 0-5).
