Breakers to begin homestand
It's not tournament time yet, but it will be good practice. The Santa Barbara Breakers will play two home games in the next two days, and they will be facing familiar foes from the West Coast Pro Basketball League that will be looking for revenge.

The Santa Ynez Valley will welcome 2,500 participants representing 40 states and six foreign countries in the second annual Santa Barbara Wine Country Half-Marathon on Saturday.

Cabrillo makes it an even season
The scene at Carpinteria High's Calderwood Field could have passed for a dress rehearsal.

In the end, it was the visiting Conquistadores who wanted it most, staging a sixth-inning rally to win 5-3 over the Warriors. More»


Dons level Fullerton with quick punchout
The Santa Barbara Dons made a convincing statement in their first-round match, shutting out Fullerton 18-0. "That's just a great start to CIF for us," Santa Barbara coach Steve Geremia said. "The matches will get tougher and tougher each round you go." The Dons used five singles players and four doubles duos in the home win against Fullerton. More»


Williams' heart inspired friends
Perhaps it was apropos that under an overcast sky at Shoreline Park, dozens of people came to say goodbye to their own ray of sunshine. On Thursday, family members, friends and fellow athletes gathered to celebrate the life of Dave Williams, who passed away last week after battling a brain tumor for nearly a year. More»


Warkentin takes 2nd in 25K
