According to Fallbrook Union High School athletic director Patrick Walker, no concrete decisions have been made as to when summer athletic training will resume in advance of the CIF Fall Season. Given the fluid nature of county and state mandates being issued because of the coronavirus pandemic, you could say that school officials are dealing with a playing field with constantly moving goalposts. “We are looking at both the CIF guidelines, recommendations from the State Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, and our North C...
GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer ANAHEIM (AP) - With his first child due to arrive shortly, Mike Trout thought hard about skipping this shortened major league season. The Los Angeles Angels' three-time AL MVP also isn't sure he'll still be in uniform in October if the Angels capitalize on the expanded opportunity by landing a playoff berth. Not much is certain about this unique baseball summer, but Trout is betting he'll be glad he took time out from impending fatherhood to...
BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) - Fernando Tatis Jr. has become one of the faces of the San Diego Padres, with or without a facemask. The exciting young shortstop has been taking coronavirus protocols seriously, including wearing a mask during summer camp workouts. He even wore one during a Zoom session with the media. The 21-year-old Tatis wants to play as much of the 60-game season as possible while keeping his teammates safe, even if only one other Padres play...
MICHAEL REZENDES Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - Last month, when former Major League All-star Torii Hunter said he'd been called the N-word "a hundred times" at Boston's storied Fenway Park, the Red Sox were quick to back him up with a promise to fight racism. "Torii Hunter's experience is real," the team said in a June 10 Twitter post, adding that there were at least seven incidents as recently as last year where fans used racial slurs. The team promised to do a better job...
SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer Tim Flynn was looking forward to one final year as the mayoral host of training camp for the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, California. So much for that. The pandemic forced the NFL to abandon, at least for this year, the fading but still time-honored tradition of teams traveling to training camp. The league's version of a stay-at-home order will end the latest California run for the Cowboys, stop the 54-year streak for the Pittsburgh Steelers...
DOUG FEINBERG and JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writers The Ivy League on Wednesday became the first Division I conference to suspend all fall sports, including football, leaving open the possibility of moving some seasons to the spring if the coronavirus pandemic is better controlled by then.

The CIF has a Model Coach Award, and one of the 2019-2020 recipients is Pat Moramarco, a 1982 Fallbrook High School graduate and current Vista High School girls' basketball coach.

The CIF Model Coach Award program was created by the CIF State Federated Council to recognize coaches who... Full story

STEPHEN WHYNO AP Sports Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Redskins began a "thorough review" of their name Friday, a significant step toward moving on from what experts and advocates call a "dictionary-defined racial slur." Even though owner Dan Snyder had shown no willingness to change the name since buying the team in 1999, the recent national conversation on race has renewed opposition to the name and prompted sponsors to speak up. With support from the NFL, it may...

The San Diego High School Sports Association annually honors one male student-athlete and one female student-athlete from each school. In the case of Bonsall High School, the Ford twins shared this year's award for the honored female senior. Officially, only one female can receive the Senior Scholar-Athlete award, so Abigayle Ford will be the formal recipient, but Bonsall High School will recognize both Abigayle Ford and Isabella Ford. "They are a great example of siblings...
Sand volleyball is expected to become the newest CIF San Diego Section sport. A unanimous CIF Board of Managers vote, May 20, approved sand volleyball as a CIF San Diego Section sport contingent upon CIF State Federated Council recognition of sand volleyball as an authorized sport. Sand volleyball would be for girls only. Although only two players from each team will be on the court at the same time, the match format will be similar to doubles play in tennis, which also includes singles sets, as five tandems from each school...
Austin Alanis earned the position of Bonsall High School salutatorian for the class of 2020 based on his GPA alone.

ROB HARRIS AP Global Soccer Writer LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - The 30-year wait is over. Liverpool is champion of England again. Liverpool clinched its first league title since 1990 on Thursday, ending an agonizing title drought without the players even having to take the field. Instead, the Premier League crown was secured when Chelsea beat second-place Manchester City 2-1, a result that means City can no longer catch Liverpool with seven games remaining. For the city of...

JAKE SEINER AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Tiz the Law won an unprecedented Belmont Stakes, claiming victory Saturday at the first race of a rejiggered Triple Crown schedule in front of eerily empty grandstands. The 3-year-old colt from upstate New York charged to the lead turning for home and now can set his sights on the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby and Oct. 3 Preakness. All three legs of this year's Triple Crown schedule were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Belmont,...
BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer Every team in Major League Baseball will shut its spring training camp over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, a move that came in the wake of the Philadelphia Phillies announcing Friday five players had tested positive for COVID-19. The closures come while MLB owners and players try to negotiate a deal to begin the season, and raise the possibility the virus outbreak could scuttle all attempts at starting up this year. A person familiar...

The 5-year-old won the one-mile turf race for California-bred fillies and mares 3 years old and upward by 1 3/4 lengths over second-place Sedamar. Super Patriot and jockey Flavien Prat had a winning time of 1:35.66. “Flavien rode her perfectly.

Normally the CIF San Diego Section has a "dead period" in which contact between coaches and student-athletes is not allowed. Because the coronavirus shutdown eliminated team activity, there will not be a no contact period for summer 2020. "I think it was the right thing to do with all of the shutdowns that we've had," said CIF assistant commissioner John Labeta. "There's no reason to have a no contact period this year." In 2002 the CIF implemented a two-week period which prohibits participation or scheduling of organized prac...
