Antigua prepares for Test series
ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC):Antigua have already begun preparations to host a Test during the upcoming India series, in anticipation of getting official word from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).Sports Minister EP Chet Greene said the country had received “verbal information” that the tour would go ahead, and officials at the island’s premier cricket venue, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, had already started putting things in place.”We are waiting for the official communiquÈ, but the verbal information is yes, the Test series is happening,” Greene told the Observer newspaper here.Preparations have already begun at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium to host a Test during the India series.”But even at the level of preparation at the stadium, we have already started the work because we don’t want to get the announcement and then we find ourselves short of time.”FOUR-TEST TOURWICB president Dave Cameron confirmed last month that the four-Test tour would go ahead in July and August, but specific dates and venues had not been announced.The tour had been in jeopardy for some while after the Board of Control for Cricket suspended bilateral relations with the WICB, following the controversial abandoned tour of India two years ago.Antigua last hosted a Test during England’s tour of the Caribbean last year, when the first Test ended in a tense draw.Greene praised the stadium team for its commitment to moving quickly to spruce up preparations.”I want to commend Anthony Merrick and his team (and) Conley Phillip, who heads the stadium staff. We have started the work, but are just waiting on the official communiquÈ from the WICB that the game is happening.”

Newcastle, Leicester and Tottenham-linked striker confirms he turned down Premier League move
Charlie Austin has revealed he turned down a move to the Premier League this summer – even though he knew it could cost him a spot at Euro 2016.The Queens Park Rangers striker attracted much interest following the Hoops’ relegation to the Championship after firing 18 goals in the top-flight last season, with Newcastle, Leicester and Tottenham among a clutch of clubs eyeing the £15m-rated hitman.It was therefore a major surprise when a move away from Loftus Road did not materialise before the transfer window closed.But Austin insists it was his decision to stay put at QPR, telling talkSPORT: “I turned down a move [to the Premier League] which wasn’t right for me and my family.“I didn’t feel it was right for me to go, so I stayed at QPR.”Austin was happy to remain with the Championship side, but he is fully aware that his decision is likely to rule him out of contention for England selection for next summer’s Euros.The 26-year-old was called up by Roy Hodgson for the friendly clash with Ireland in June but was left out of the squad for the recent qualifying double-header against San Marino and Switzerland.“I have had no contact [from Roy Hodgson] but that was not really expected,” he said.“I knew what my chances were of getting in the England squad when I stayed in the Championship. There are others players doing it week in, week out in the Premier League.“It is something I have had to take on board with my decision in the last three weeks.“For me now, I am getting my head down and that is at the back of my mind. I try to score as many goals as I can and perform to the best of my ability and help QPR achieve our goal, which is promotion come May.”
Nguyen a quick hit in tennis
Nguyen Busch Youth was served in a big way among girls tennis players this season in the Moore League. Freshmen such as Jillian Sangria from Wilson High, Stacey Tan and Summer Beaird of Lakewood and Poly’s Monica Rodriguez all served notice that the level of play and competition should be outstanding over the next three years. But one freshman, Millikan’s Mimi Nguyen, clearly shone brighter than the rest. Nguyen had a remarkable year, winning the Moore League singles title with a straight-set victory over Tan and reaching the semifinals of the CIF Individual tournament. And for those efforts, Nguyen has been selected as the 2005 Press-Telegram Girls Tennis Dream Team Player of the Year. Nguyen has plenty of shots in her arsenal Busch once described her ground strokes as “bullets,” and she has a fine service return but needs to work on her speed and strength, according to Barretta. “From what I’ve seen already, if we add a little speed and strength to her,” Barretta said, “she can be unstoppable.” Busch, in her fifth season at Lakewood, saw her team escape what she called a “third-place rut” by sharing the Moore League title with Wilson. It was the Lancers’ first title since 1990 and just the third since 1984, when Busch was a sophomore at Lakewood. She attributed this year’s success to her team’s mental approach as much as its tennis skills. Busch said the season may have turned around for the Lancers when they topped perennial playoff team Poly in the Moore League opener. “That was when the girls realized they had the potential to win the league title,” said Busch, a 1987 Lakewood graduate. “That made them even more determined.” The Lancers completed the season with a 14-2 mark and were ranked as high as fourth in CIF Division III. Lakewood was seeded fourth in the playoffs and reached the second round before a 10-8 loss to Viewpoint. Things are also looking good for next season. Lakewood graduated just two starters from the 2005 team and players such as Tan and Beaird will return next season with a year’s experience. “I’m excited for next year, too,” Busch said. “We’ll be ready for the fall. The girls are motivated to defend their title.”, 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set!

It was really good for me.” Nguyen is joined by Coach of the Year Lisa Busch, who led Lakewood to a share of its first Moore League title since 1990 and only the third in school history. Nguyen had a 29-1 record in Moore League play her only set loss was to Tan and used her powerful ground strokes to defeat Tan 7-5, 6-3 in the league finals. She eventually built a 61-3 season record and advanced all the way to the CIF Individual semifinals, where she was just a tie-breaker victory away from the final. Eventually, she ran out of steam against defending CIF champion Maggie Mello of Mission Viejo 2-6, 7-6 (2), 6-1. Third-year Millikan coach Bernie Barretta knew she had a skilled player in Nguyen the 14-year-old is ranked 11th in Southern California at 16-and-under by the USTA when the season began. But when the competition got stronger in the Moore League and CIF so did Nguyen’s game. “As soon as she hit Moore League and CIF I saw her pump up her game,” Barretta said. 
Wires: Orlando suspends Francis
The Orlando Magic indefinitely suspended Steve Francis because he refused to play late in the fourth quarter of a blowout, two newspapers reported Friday. The Orlando Sentinel and Florida Today, both citing anonymous sources, said the star guard wouldn’t re-enter Wednesday night’s game against Seattle to replace Hedo Turkoglu. Turkoglu had fouled out with 3:22 left and the Magic trailing 103-87. Magic spokesman Joel Glass told The Associated Press on Friday the team had no comment on the reports. Orlando has said only that Francis was suspended for “conduct detrimental to the team.” Coach Brian Hill also would not confirm the reports. “It’s an internal matter that we’re going to handle from within, without commenting on it,” Hill said from the team’s shootaround in Portland, Ore.

Canyon football biggest surprise of ’06
SANTA CLARITA – It’s been quite a year in Santa Clarita high school sports – maybe our best in football terms – and it’s time to reflect on some of the highlights now that the school year has ended. The biggest celebration was Canyon High’s football team’s 21-13 victory over arch-rival Hart in the Southern Section Div. II championship at Home Depot Center in Carson in December. It was the Cowboys’ third consecutive narrow victory over the Indians, who had dominated the series in recent seasons. Picked by many to finish no better than third in the Foothill League, Canyon blossomed under the leadership of star running back J.J. DiLuigi, quarterback Austin Civita and linebacker Tyler Hawkins. A tough runner with breakaway speed and keen natural instincts for the game, DiLuigi rushed for a school-record 1,862 yards, caught 30 receptions and scored a Foothill League-record 43 touchdowns. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound junior is one of just 10 players from the Daily News coverage area ever to score more than 40 touchdowns in a season. AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MORE11 theater productions to see in Southern California this week, Dec. 27-Jan. 2 Civita, like DiLuigi a first-year starter, proved equally vital, especially during Canyon’s playoff run. The senior completed 61 percent for 2,670 yards and accounted for 30 touchdowns (25 passing, five rushing). In a 42-13 Div. II semifinal victory over Valencia, no one was more responsible than Civita for pushing Canyon into the title game, as he passed for a career-best 354 yards and four touchdowns. Hawkins, an aggressive hitter with a great feel for the game, led an undersized but dominant defense that included standouts Garrett Leary (defensive line,) Matt Brown (linebacker) and Chris Kingsbury (defensive back.) In the championship game, Hart, led by quarterback Tyler Lyon, receiver Troy Yudin and linebacker Patrick Sarkissian, was thirsty to avenge consecutive losses to the Cowboys, including a 16-14 defeat for the league title that came down to the final moments one month earlier. The rematch before more than 7,000 saw Lyon pass for 294 yards – 13 for 209 yards to Yudin – but Hart came inches short when DiLuigi tackled Yudin inside the 1-yard line in the final seconds. Canyon’s massive legion of supporters mobbed the lush Home Depot turf in a wild green and gold celebration. At Valencia, star quarterback Michael Herrick made headlines after passing for than 10,000 career yards to break Newbury Park’s Keith Smith’s state record. Running back Shane Vereen also came through with an incredible season, rushing for 1,675 yards, catching 52 passes and accounting for 35 touchdowns. The blazing fast junior never was caught from behind, and he was also a top defensive back and the league’s most dangerous return specialist. 
Hart’s girls’ basketball team won a Southern Section Div. I-A title after finishing as a runnerup three times over the previous four years. Again it was Hart and Canyon in the final, and this time Hart won 54-37 behind dependable three-year standout Taylor Lilley, who scored 19 points to spark the championship at Loyola Marymount – including a 47-foot buzzer-beater. Lilley, named Southern Section Div. I-A Player of the Year, finished among the state’s all-time leading 3-point shooters. Hart lasted until the third round of the State Playoffs, as the Indians won 29 games before succumbing to national power Lynwood. Unseeded Canyon was the Cinderella team in the playoffs. The team continually improved behind the steady front line of Nicole Leon, Brittany Thomas and Cheryl Stevens, coming through with several exciting upset victories during the playoffs. In boys’ basketball, no local team advanced past the second round of the playoffs. Yet there were some excellent overall performances by Hart’s Josh Herman and Nate Bichara, Canyon’s Kris Rincon and Bryan Lewis, Valencia’s Teddy Goetz and Donjay Kakonde, and Saugus’ D.J. Smith. The boys’ soccer star was Hart’s Matt Valaika, who scored a league single-season record 41 goals – tops in the Daily News coverage area – including six in one game. He also proved a top baseball player, signing a baseball scholarship with UC Santa Barbara. Valaika broke his own school single-season scoring record by 13 goals and was named Daily News Player of the Year. Canyon’s Shane Anderson had a fine season, along with Valencia’s Craig Jaffe and Saugus’ Kyle Ernsberger. Valaika’s schoolmate, Sarina Coutin, made her mark Hart’s girls’ team, scoring a school-record 38 goals. It wasn’t a great playoff season in baseball and softball, particularly at Valencia, where the top-seeded softball team and third-seeded baseball team failed to reach the Div. I quarterfinals. Valencia softball pitcher Jordan Taylor deserves credit as one of the top pitchers Santa Clarita ever has produced. The junior right-hander finished 26-5 with a league-record 419 strikeouts and a 0.13 ERA in 215 innings. With a 68-mph fastball and a variety of breaking pitches that swooped in at various unhittable angles, Taylor totaled nine no-hitters and tied the league record for most wins in a season. Other softball standouts included Valencia’s Jessica Spigner, Torrie Anderson and Nicole Matson, Saugus’ Sarah Hooper, Tiffany Huff and Victoria Kemp, Hart’s Jessica Shults and Destiny Rodino and Canyon’s Jenna McGivney. Valencia’s baseball team won the league title, thanks to standouts Casey Mulligan, Michael Hur, Justin Shults and Nick Pappas. The season ended with a dramatic 4-3 loss in 12 innings at Agoura, which had spent much of the season ranked No. 1 in the nation by Baseball America. Perhaps the league’s most exciting player was Canyon’s Johnny Hay, who hit a school-record 12 home runs, falling one shy of the league record. Other top players included Hart’s Matt Valaika and Mike Montgomery, Canyon’s Matt Warr and Colby Hyatt and Saugus’ Casey Stevenson and Zach Vincej. Valencia reigned supreme in boys’ volleyball, winning a Southern Section Div. II title for the third time in four seasons under coach Mark Knudsen. In the championship, Valencia lost the first two games against Corona Del Mar before rallying for the victory. “Two games is a huge hole against a team like Corona Del Mar, but I never lost sight of our goal to win the championship,” Knudsen said. Teddy Goetz was named league MVP, and teammates Kevin Ker and Stephen Cornelius enjoyed strong seasons, along with Canyon’s Chris Renfrow and Brandon Pank, Saugus’ Steven Heineman and Hart’s Dane Raleigh. Led by Taryn Robertston, Valencia’s girls’ volleyball team was also strong, winning a league title and advancing the Div. I-AA quarterfinals to match the deepest playoff run in school history. Among the area’s other top volleyball players were Canyon’s Jannalee Mays and Kassie Faulkner, Valencia’s Asha Kakonde and Lauren Wells, Saugus’ Stephanie Shardlow and Megan Thorpe and Santa Clarita Christian’s Brittney McDiffett. In girls’ tennis, Valencia twins Cassie and Alexa Strange proved dominant, along with Valencia’s Michelle Stock, Saugus Thalia Wilczynski and Hart’s Elizabeth and Isabella Tang. In boys’ tennis Jack Zapala won the league singles title. Shannon Murakami, a Saugus junior, dominated in girls’ track, setting several school distance records on her way to the State Finals. “When anyone else starts coming near me, I just fight to win,” Murakami said. “My feeling is no one wants it more than me, and when you finish first in a big meet, it’s just an amazing feeling. But it’s not about glamour. I just want to get faster.” Other top track performers included Saugus’ Lauren Moore (girls’ long jump, triple jump, high jump) and Jeannette McConnell (girls discus), Canyon’s Paul Ned (boys’ sprints), Andi Behring (girls’ shot put) and Phil Malinowski and Valencia’s Shane Vereen (boys’ sprints) and Virgil Hill (boys sprints, hurdles). In girls’ golf, Stevy Loy helped carry Valencia to its most successful girls’ season ever, as the Vikings won 32 matches and finished second in the Northern Divisional and seventh in the section final. Loy was named league MVP, an exceptional conclusion to an exceptional season after warming up by qualifying for the U.S. Golf Association national championships last summer. Other top girls’ golfers included Hart’s Tessa Harp, Ashley Redmond and Eleanna Tan, Valencia’s Michelle Mannix and Tracy White, and Saugus’ Alyssa Wohlfeiler. Boys’ golf was dominated by Valencia’s Louis Amira, the league MVP. Also impressive were Saugus’ Nick Delio and Hart’s Jason Kang. In girls’ swimming, Valencia emerged as an elite team this year with the addition of strong sprint freestyler Kasey Hartsock, along with butterfly specialist Megan Machynia and versatile Kaitlyn Salovich. Other top girls’ swimmers included Canyon’s Roxy Camuso and Chelsea Griffiths and Hart’s Jordan Danny and Molly Rogers, The top boys’ swimmers included Saugus’ Ryan Kristensen and Valencia’s Garrett Nugent. gerry.gittelson@dailynews.com (661) 257-5218160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

LITTLE KITTEN CRUELLY ABANDONED SAVED BY KIND HEARTED DONEGAL FAMILY
Alan, Adam and Oisin pictured with their new pet kitten Catster.A kind-hearted Donegal family have adopted a little kitten who was cruelly abandoned by the roadside just outside their home.Alan Rodgers and Trio McGonagle from Dungloe found the little cat in a dishevelled state outside their home.The little kitten was extremely hungry and it looked like it hadn’t been fed for days. The family decided to take the kitten in and give it food and shelter until it got stronger.The couple’s young children Oisin and Adam grew very fond of the little kitten and asked their parents could they keep the cat.Trio told Donegal Daily, “We found the kitten in a terrible state and it looked like it had been abandoned.“He was very, very timid and frightened, we gave him food and water and he started to get stronger. “After a few days he was less timid and the boys were able to pet him and they grew very fond of him and named him ‘Catster’.“They asked us to keep him, and I was unsure but when I looked at the cat’s cute little face I knew it was the right decision to keep him and the boys were delighted.
