New 'chip and pin' technology, in which a computer chip is embedded in credit cards, keeps personal informati...

The fact that Fallbrook High School's boys golf team defeated La Costa Canyon on the road March 10 isn't in itself significant as the Mavericks didn't necessarily use their best six players in the pre-league match.

"That was one of our better scores in a number of years," said Fallbrook coach Steve Jorde. The five-player team score was a total of two over par at...

High school athletic teams may suffer personnel losses due to injuries, academic eligibility, college visits, or other factors. The depth of a team mitigates any losses, and a team with larger numbers also has the ability to rest starters. Thus even before the Fallbrook High School boys lacrosse team played its first game March 11, coach Paul Morgan was expecting the season to be a success. Practice began Feb. 23, and more than 50 Fallbrook High School boys tried out for the varsity and junior varsity teams. "It was really...
