Now a more frequent sight -- rehabbed Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins is known for expressing displeasure at the perceived oversights of the NBA's referees.

The casual, nonchalant pose of coach Steve Kerr belies his prescient and disarmingly brilliant mind. Kerr was recently honored as becoming the fastest coach in NBA history to reach 300 wins.

USA Rugby
Land Park Motley vs. Danville Oaks, Under 12
In 1972, members of club sides from San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento started a program to introduce rugby to our children's generation. In 1974, through USA Rugby (USARFU), the program spread to the entire country. Several pioneers from the Sacramento/Capitol clubs had enough participation to hold a league-wide tournament to kick off the season. Thirty-five years later it was held on a venue with six full-size fields and several divisions for players from
Under 12, Middle School, High School boys, girls, and regional sides, single schools.

Marin Highlanders vs. Danville Oaks Middle School
The majority of the entities fielded teams in each of the age group divisions. Senior, experienced referees volunteered and there were several EMT units on site. Parents and friends rounded out the crowd, served food and beverages to make this one of the busiest 'tail gate' parties ever. Photos represent images of players in different age divisions but by no means all of the entrants. It is a big, well run, fun event.

Sonoma Raceway -- 2019 Drag Racing Schedule
Forty-five days of Drag Racing slated for Wine Country
SONOMA, Calif. (Feb. 5, 2019) -- Sonoma Raceway will host more than 45 days of racing action on its drag strip during the 2019 season, as the Sonoma Valley facility celebrates 50 years of racing in wine country.
The 10,000-horsepower machines of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Racing Series will rattle the grapevines as NHRA's best go head-to-head in the world's fastest race cars, reaching speeds over 330 mph, July 26-28. The 2019 national event will also feature the return of jet dragsters following Friday night qualifying, July 26. The weekend will also look back at 50 years of drag racing history at Sonoma as the raceway celebrates the sports legends, its memorable moments and incredible fans throughout race weekend.
The NHRA Division 7 Drag Races, presented by Korbel, sets the stage for back-to-back weekends of drag racing in Sonoma, July 17-21. The NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series returns to Sonoma for its first-ever double-header event. More than 500 sportsman racers will compete at two separate events in one weekend; the first will span Thursday-Friday, with the second event on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, Top Alcohol Dragster and Funny Car classes will return to Sonoma for the first time in over a decade.
The raceway's popular Wednesday Night Drags program enters its 31st season this year. Attracting more than 200 drivers nightly, Wednesday Night Drags is one of the most anticipated events among local racing enthusiasts. The amateur drag racing competition runs most Wednesday evenings from March 13-Nov. 13 and gives anyone with a driver license and a car that passes a simple technical inspection a chance to race down the quarter-mile drag strip. The fan-favorite Top the Cops' program, which gives teens the chance to race against law enforcement officers, who compete in full uniform in their official vehicles on the quarter-mile drag strip, will run from April through August in conjunction with Wednesday Night Drags.
Throughout 2019 the Summit ET Bracket Drag Racing Series will feature 12 races, including the popular Memorial Day weekend and Independence Day events. These events feature five classes of sportsman competition and generally attract more than 300 competitors.
All Wednesday night drag racing and bracket events can be watched live at
SonomaRaceway.com/live
. For more information on these programs, complete drag strip schedules and more, visit

Sports Prep Star -- Gavin Wilburn
Weston Ranch--Stockton -- Basketball -- Junior
One week after dropping 19 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals in a 66-60 road win over NorCal-ranked Grant-Sacramento on Jan. 19, Gavin Wilburn came up with another big game to help the Cougars fend off a serious upset bid from Manteca. Playing a Saturday afternoon matinee on its home floor, Weston Ranch outlasted Manteca 78-76 as Wilburn tied for team-high with 23 points while also posting team-highs of nine rebounds and four assists. The 6-foot-3 wing is averaging just shy of 12 points through the Cougars' first 22 games and is the team leader in both rebounds (8/per game) and assists (3.2/game). Weston Ranch improved to 21-1 with the victory.
