It’s as much a case of mistaken identity as unknown entity for the Pac-West varsity baseball team.

“During scrimmages we would play (O’ahu Interscholastic Association) teams and they would ask us, ‘Who are you guys?’ ” said freshman pitcher Alec Kimura, who attends Island Pacific Academy. “One time in a preseason tournament some girls came up to us and asked us, ‘Are you guys from Mid-Pac?’ ”

Like its big brother Pac-Five, Pac-West is a conglomeration of high schools: Hanalani Schools, Christian Academy, Lanakila Baptist and Island Pacific, which compete together in a few team sports because as individual programs, they do not have the numbers to carry a team.

“We still get that reaction,” said senior shortstop Evan Fujimoto, of Island Pacific. “But it’s not as bad anymore.”

Pac-West offers intermediate boys and girls soccer, intermediate and junior varsity softball, and intermediate and varsity baseball. This is the first year of varsity baseball, although in years past the team played at the junior varsity level, which was dropped this season as all the players moved up.

This is the first season any Pac-West team has fielded a varsity program, and the baseball team achieved its greatest accomplishment to date when it beat Maryknoll, 10-9, on March 19 to improve its record to 1-5. That followed just weeks after the intermediate team won for the first time — the first time any Pac-West baseball team won a game. In the previous two years at the junior varsity level, the team didn’t win a single regular-season game.

“I think we’re still celebrating,” coach Dennis Fukunaga said Tuesday. “It’s a blessing that it happened this early in the season. They feel so good about themselves now.”

Oakland, CA, March 16, 2010 –(PR.com)– Who hasn’t thrilled to the giants that roamed the earth so many years ago? Dinosaurs—fearsome, fast carnivores, enormous herbivores, and flying lizards that resembled giant bats—have captured our imagination for nearly two centuries.

Now, children age 6-12 can make and color their own dinosaur action figures, using cut-outs from the new book Dinosaurs on the Move: Movable Paper Figures to Cut, Color, and Assemble. The action figures and the accompanying descriptive text for the 10 species of dinosaurs included can be used to facilitate drama play, science learning, and even discussions of natural history. The book includes “dinosaur greatest hits” like Tyrannosaurus rex, Pteranodon, and Stegosaurus, as well as less familiar species such as the armadillo-like Ankylosaurus, and the fish-eating Baryonyx.

“Combines the appeal of dinosaurs with key facts about them while encouraging creativity… a unique addition any dinosaur-lover’s bookshelf, and one that I would have certainly loved myself as a child.” —Dr. Matthew Carrano, Paleontologist, Washington, DC

Endorsed by Denver Museum of Nature and Science paleontologist Dr. Kenneth Carpenter, award-wining science educator “Paleo Joe” Kchodl and other experts, Dinosaurs on the Move follows the award-winning Famous Figures of Ancient Times in a series of cut-and-color movable action-figure history books from Figures In Motion; other books will feature famous people from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the United States, and the Bible.

The books are the latest from artist Cathy Diez-Luckie, illustrator of Goodbye Goose and several other children’s books, and contributor to two illustration encyclopedias and several magazines.

UNLV 73
UTAH 61

KEY: Anthony Marshall and Tre’Von Willis each scored 13 points for the Rebels.

NEXT: UNLV vs. Brigham Young, MWC tournament semifinal, 8:30 p.m. today, CBSC (333), KWWN-AM (1100)

MWC: Rebels 73-61 over Utah

If he felt some pressure in his first postseason game, UNLV freshman Anthony Marshall had no problem hiding it.

The former Mojave High School star showed the poise of a veteran, and the all-around effort he produced might be enough to help the Rebels earn at least an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament.

Of course, the first goal on the list is to win the Mountain West Conference Tournament, and UNLV took a step in that direction by running past Utah 73-61 in the quarterfinals Thursday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Marshall led the Rebels’ charge with 13 points, 12 rebounds and five assists.

"I didn’t really feel any pressure going into this game. I just felt like it was another basketball game we had to win," he said.

Third-seeded UNLV (24-7) advanced to face No. 2 seed Brigham Young (29-4) in the semifinals at 8:30 p.m. today. The teams split their regular-season series with each winning at home.

Top-seeded New Mexico and No. 4 San Diego State also advanced and will meet at 6 p.m.

Junior guard Tre’Von Willis also scored 13 points for the Rebels, who blew open a game that was tight early in the second half.

UNLV used a 10-0 run to create separation against the Utes, who cut a four-point halftime deficit to 31-30 on Carlon Brown’s three-point play.

During the pivotal stretch, Marshall’s steal and assist to Chace Stanback for a dunk put the Rebels on top 39-30.

"Anthony was great," Willis said. "I don’t think I can put it in words right now, especially for his first postseason game. I felt he played really well on both ends of the floor. You could tell by the look cheap flights from Townsville to Broome in his eyes that he just wanted …continue reading

Brad Smith makes the most of his opportunities

scalzo@vindy.com

YOUNGSTOWN

Former Chaney High coach Ron Berdis flew down to Tampa in mid-December to watch his former quarterback, Jets wide receiver Brad Smith, play a Week 14 game against the Buccaneers.

Smith didn’t have an amazing game but he did have a busy one, rushing five times for 16 yards, catching one pass for 4 yards, completing one pass for 27 yards and returning one kickoff for 16 yards and one punt for 21.

The Jets won 26-3. Even better, after spending the previous seven games as an offensive afterthought, Smith’s role seemed to be expanding.

“That was probably his breakout game,” said Berdis.

The next week, Smith caught two passes and ran it once in a loss to the Falcons. Then, on Dec. 27, he returned a kickoff 106 yards for a touchdown — the longest return in Jets history and second-longest in NFL history — to help New York hand the Colts their first loss, 29-15.

He struck again in Week 17, rushing four times for 92 yards to help the Jets blank Cincinnati. Three weeks later, he made arguably the biggest play of his NFL career, hitting Jerricho Cotchery for a 45-yard touchdown pass in the AFC championship game, which the Jets lost 30-17 to the Colts.

The season was over but after four seasons in the NFL, Smith’s career finally seemed ready to begin.

“It’s all about seizing the opportunity,” said Berdis. “He certainly proved he could be a worthwhile commodity for the Jets.

“All of us had been saying, ‘We knew he could do this all along. What took them so long to realize he could make plays?’ ”

For the first 31‚Ñ2 years of his Jets career, Smith did his best to transition from a record-breaking college quarterback at Missouri to an NFL wide receiver. For most of that time, it meant playing on special teams. Then, the Jets gave him the ball cheap flights from Adelaide to Mackay more over the last half of last …continue reading

Not that long ago, Darko Milicic ate hamburgers in the locker room before games because he knew there wasn’t a prayer he’d play for the New York Knicks that night.
Wednesday night, he is expected to start at center for the Timberwolves at Dallas while starter Al Jefferson serves a two-game team suspension because of his drunken-driving arrest last weekend.
"That’s what happens in this league," Wolves coach Kurt Rambis said.
Milicic wore the black starter’s jersey in practice Monday and Tuesday while Jefferson ran with the second unit because he will not play again until Monday’s rematch with the Mavericks at Target Center.
"I’m kind of leaning that way," Rambis said of starting Milicic in Jefferson’s spot even though the 7-footer still isn’t nearly in game shape. "I’m not locked into it."
Why Milicic alongside Ryan Hollins and Ryan Gomes in the frontcourt rather than, say, Hollins and Kevin Love as starters?
"I like Kevin coming off the bench," Rambis said. "It could be just a short minute thing. I think Darko provides us somebody who can pass the basketball, and I like the things Ryan Hollins has done early in a lot of games. I like him being able to run the floor. They [opponents] don’t like to deal with his post sprinting, so hopefully that’s something we can take advantage of."
The Wolves visited Dallas a month ago and rallied late to beat the Mavericks, the home team’s sixth loss in its past eight games.
Struggling and starting to look like an afterthought in the Western Conference race, the Mavericks made a deal before the trade deadline that sent away Josh Howard and brought Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood from Washington.
The Mavericks now have won eight consecutive games and have moved past Denver into the second seed in the West, behind only the Lakers. They have added Butler and Haywood since the teams last met while the Wolves will play Planethopia – place where everything begins on without Jefferson and rookie guard Wayne …continue reading

1. WHERE IS THE CONTROVERSY?

Last year, baseball was in the midst of the steroid blame-game, with Alex Rodriguez front and center. This year, it’s suspiciously quiet. No rumors, no innuendos, no pictures of A-Rod in the New York tabloids. Manny hasn’t been being Manny. There haven’t been any bitter contract squabbles or off-the-field incidents.

Perhaps the biggest story has been the admission of steroid use by Mark McGwire, above, to several media outlets as he prepared to begin his duties as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. And that blew over relatively fast, despite McGwire’s ridiculous assertion that steroids never helped him hit the ball farther.

But don’t expect the quiet to remain. Soon, a player will be unhappy with his role, or another book or allegation will surface. It’s become an annual rite, just like spring training.

2. THE AMAZING METS’ MESSRarely do the New York tabloids run out of things to mock on their back covers, but the Mets have provided plenty of fodder in the slowest of times. Whether it was seemingly overpaying for outfielder Jason Bay, whose power doesn’t seem to translate well to cavernous Citi Field, or Carlos Beltran, above, having knee surgery a month ago without consulting the team, meaning he’ll miss a month of the regular season, it’s been an amazing mess.Let’s not forget that the Mets underachieved last season with a 70-92 record due to injuries to Beltran, shortstop Jose Reyes (hamstring surgery), ace left-hander Johan Santana (elbow surgery), horrible seasons from pitchers Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey and an overall lack of talent.This year, they have a $140 million payroll and most people think they will finish no better than third in the NL East, even under optimal conditions. Perhaps it’s time to start the office pools as to when general manager Omar Minaya and manager Jerry cheap flight Ballina to Canberra Manuel will be fired.
