For hundreds of high school athletes participating in a spring sport at Fallbrook Union High School, this is a difficult time. Some have spent as long as a decade preparing for their senior season in the sports they love. And for most of those seniors, the cancellation of the 2020 spring season means they will never officially compete in that sport again. Considering just more than 7% of all high school athletes nationwide compete in a varsity sport in college and less than...
ARCADIA (AP) - Santa Anita will resume live racing Friday after receiving approval from Los Angeles County health officials. The Arcadia track stopped live racing on March 27 by order of the county health department because of concern over the spread of the coronavirus. From March 12-27, the track raced without spectators.

EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer DENVER (AP) — At least 70 percent of U.S. Olympic sports organizations have applied for government funds during the coronavirus pandemic, a stark financial reality that underscores the frailties within the world's most dominant Olympic sports system. The Associated Press surveyed 44 of the country's national governing bodies (NGBs) — the organizations charged with operating programs from the grassroots through the Olympic levels in sports that run the gamut from badminton to basketball. All but...
In fall 2019, Fallbrook High School varsity football head coach Troy Everhart had roughly a month to prepare his Warriors for the upcoming season. He was forced to do so after previous new hire, Jim Fisher, left the program, July 4. Fisher was offered the position March 12 and began with spring practice and recruiting Fallbrook students March 18. But by July 4, Fisher announced he would be resigning, citing a job offer his wife received to be the head field hockey coach at...
Normally seniors on a high school volleyball team end their high school careers in the playoffs or at the end of the regular season if the CIF selection and seeding committee doesn't give their school a berth in the playoffs. For Fallbrook High School seniors Anthony Rayon, Logan Riggs, Logan Sim and Sean Wenzel, their high school careers ended when the CIF canceled the remainder of the spring sports season. "It was terrible to end that way," Fallbrook coach Chip Patterson...
Adam Beam The Associated Press Two more counties in Northern California allowed many businesses to reopen Monday, May 4, in defiance of Gov. Gavin Newsom's orders intended to slow the spread of coronavirus and prevent the health care system from being overwhelmed. Yuba County and adjacent Sutter County followed the lead rural Modoc County took Friday, May 1, amid pressures to restart California's economy even as hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 continue....
The cancellation of CIF spring sports for 2020 shortened the season for all members of the Fallbrook High School girls’ lacrosse team and prematurely ended the careers of the Warriors’ five seniors. “It’s heartbreaking. The season was stolen away from us,” Fallbrook coach Debbie Berg said. Audrey Gillcrist, who played midfield, had been on the varsity for all four seasons. Jackie Alvarez, who played at both the attack and midfield positions, was also in the program for four years and joined the varsity as a junior. The Warri...
Online learning for math, science, social studies and language arts can duplicate the lessons from in-class learning along with homework, so teachers can give students grades close to what they would be if the students were based in the classroom. Grades for Bonsall High School physical education classes are determined somewhat differently, and assignments differ considerably than would be the case for classes based on fields or in gymnasiums. Physical education involves components other than exercise so Eric Hendy, who is...
BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer The NFL has set protocols for reopening team facilities and has told the 32 teams to have them in place by May 15. In a memo sent by Commissioner Roger Goodell and obtained Wednesday night by The Associated Press, several phases of the protocols were laid out. The first phase to deal with the coronavirus pandemic would involve a limited number of non-player personnel, initially 50% of the non-player employees (up to a total of 75) on any...
JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer Five of the 12 schools in the Pac-12 expect to reopen their campuses this fall, a key step to the return of college sports. Many more steps still need to be taken before football or any other sport is going to played in 2020 as the world copes with the coronavirus pandemic. The football season begins Aug. 29 with a slate of games that include three Pac-12 schools. Both Arizona schools, both Washington schools and Oregon anticipate holding...
STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer MIAMI (AP) - Measuring Don Shula by wins and losses, no NFL coach had a better year. Or career. He looked the part, thanks to a jutting jaw and glare that would intimidate 150-pound sports writers and 300-pound linemen alike. He led the Miami Dolphins to the only perfect season in NFL history, set a league record with 347 victories and coached in six Super Bowls. Near the end of his career, Shula's biography in the Dolphins' media guide began with...
After another Valley League championship, undefeated league season and a trip to the CIF Division 1 semifinal, it's not surprising that several Fallbrook High School Warriors girls' water polo players were recently named to the all-league team. Leading the way for the Warriors was Sophia Wallace, who was named player of the year for the Valley League. "She was kind of our spark plug a lot of the time," head coach Sean Redmon said. "She led our team in scoring and drew more...
Ten of the 17 players on the 2020 Fallbrook High School varsity baseball roster are seniors, and head coach Pat Walker believes that the shortening of the CIF season not only cost those seniors a deserving conclusion to their high school careers but also potentially cost the Warriors a CIF championship. “This is the best baseball team I’ve coached, and I didn’t get to coach,” head coach Pat Walker said. The 2018 Warriors reached the semifinals of the CIF Division IV playoffs and had an overall record of 17-16 includi...
The 2020 Fallbrook High School boys' lacrosse team had 25 players on the Warriors' varsity roster and 14 of those were seniors. "I was looking forward to the season. I thought we had a solid team," Fallbrook coach Mike Zinniger said. The Warriors played three games before the remainder of the CIF spring sports seasons were canceled. "I felt it was going well even though our record was only one and two. We kind of upgraded our schedule a little bit," Zinniger said. The two...
ANNE M. PETERSON and RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writers A federal judge threw out the unequal pay claim by players on the U.S. women's national soccer team in a surprising loss for the defending World Cup champions but allowed their allegation of discriminatory working conditions to go to trial. Players led by Alex Morgan sued in March 2019, claiming they have not been paid equally under their collective bargaining agreement to what the men's national team receives under its labor...
Alex Rickman was the only senior on the Bonsall High School golf team this year, and before the season was cut short due to the cancellation of school and CIF spring sports, he was able to participate in the Legionnaires’ five matches. “It was unfortunate that it had to end early. He made a lot of good progress over the four years he played for me,” Bonsall coach Eddie Van Hoosear. “To play all four years and not be able to finish is really unfortunate.” Rickman was one of seven players on the 2020 team. The Legionnai...
BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer Commissioner Roger Goodell has reduced his salary to $0 and other NFL employees will be taking pay cuts or furloughs due to the coronavirus pandemic. Goodell, who makes upward of $30 million a year from salaries and bonuses, voluntarily had his salary reduced this month, a person familiar with the move tells The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the NFL has not announced the move publicly. The league also is implementing tiered reductions in...
BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer Maybe the Southeastern Conference should simply hold onto its players and become part of the NFL. The home of national champion LSU and perennial contenders Alabama, Georgia and Auburn, the SEC dominated the first four rounds of the NFL draft before the flow of talent slowed to a trickle. Or the conference finally began running out of top prospects. The top four rounds are where the vast majority of pro starters are found. So beginning with...
This year’s Fallbrook High School swim team included seven seniors whose high school careers ended early due to the shutdown of the school and the cancellation of CIF spring sports. Cameron Batty, Derek Enns, Chase Glick, Owen Hearn, Caden McCormies, Joe Moran and Jackson Richards are Fallbrook’s seven seniors. The team also included exchange student Lukas Holme, a junior, who has returned to Denmark. “Super disappointing for everyone, especially our seniors. A number of our boys were actually doing well,” Fallbrook coach B...
The eight Bonsall High School seniors on this year’s track and field team were deprived of their 2020 season. “We did some training,” Bonsall head coach Eric Hendy said. The Legionnaires were supposed to participate in a Frontier League cluster meet March 12. “It got rained out,” Hendy said. The coronavirus quarantine closed the school following the March 13 classes and afternoon activities. The CIF suspended all athletic events and eventually canceled all spring sports. That ended the careers of seniors Conrado Acevedo-B...
After what can only be described as a strong rebound for the boys' and girls' basketball teams at Fallbrook High School this past winter season, two players from each of the teams were named to the Valley League all-league teams. Head coach Jessica Ramirez's Warriors girls' varsity team went 6-4 in league and 17-11 overall, falling in the first round of the CIF playoffs. As a result, sophomore point guard Naiya Kurnik, a 5-9 sophomore was named to the Valley League's First...
Joe Naiman Six boys and four girls on the 2020 Fallbrook High School track and field team had a premature ending to their senior season when the school was shut down for the remainder of the academic year and all CIF spring sports were canceled.

The 2020 Fallbrook High School girls’ swim team included six seniors whose high school careers were cut short by the closure of the school and the cancellation of CIF spring sports. Cindy Buenrostro, Anna Draves, Lucy Goode, Rebekah Kehl, Rose Khattar and Sophia Wallace all saw their final high school seasons end early. “It’s sad that I don’t get to see them finish out their whole season and their high school career,” Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond said. The Warriors won all three of their dual meets before the season was cance...
The coronavirus quarantine which led to the cancellation of school and of CIF spring sports deprived Fallbrook High School's gymnastics team of the Warriors' 2020 season, but the team had no seniors so the cancellation of the season won't finalize the high school careers of any of Fallbrook's gymnasts. "They're all planning on being on the team next year," said Fallbrook coach Haley Flores. The Warriors were to have opened their season with a dual meet March 13 at Mount Carmel High School, but that meet was canceled and that...
