Corning girls, boys stage shutouts By ANDRE BYIK DN Sports Editor CORNING — It was a good day for the Corning Cardinals varsity girls and boys soccer teams as they both kept the visiting Central Valley Falcons scoreless Thursday at home in one-sided affairs. The Lady Cardinals (76, 3-1 Northern Athletic League) beat Central Valley (0-8) 4-0 while domi- nating possession time. Senior midfielder Laura Madera struck first with a goal in the 20th minute of the first half. Then a balanced attack saw Corning goals from senior forward Caitlin McCoy, sophomore forward Patricia Ibarra and sophomore midfielder Maria Diaz, who's goal brought the Lady Cards to 4-0 on the day. The Lady Cards next take on Lassen (3-5) at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday at home. Corning coach Gavino Munoz said while the Cards started the season slow, they're beginning to come together. Corning boys On the boys side, the Cardinals played fast and furious in the first half, tallying all five of their goals against the Falcons (0-8) in the first 40 minutes off superior ball handling and second-chance attempts. The Cards' Diego Figueroa put Corning up early with a goal at the three-minute mark in the first half. Then Arturo Carrera, Jayve Uriostegui, Juan Serrano and Irvin Rodriguez joined in the NFL Hawaii town backs ND star running inside and out and catching passes from all kinds of formations. ''Frank is such an adaptable player that it doesn't take him long to pick something up,'' Roman said. ''He's one of the most gifted, knowledgeable, intelligent football players that I've been around really at any position. He just has a feel and an understanding for the game. It's funny, when you install something or put something new in, he can just see it. It's pretty impressive.'' Until last week, though, Gore's role had seemingly diminished since Kaepernick took over in Week 10 and the 49ers ran more of the Pistol offense. Gore admits the first time he watched teams such as Oregon and Nevada run read-option plays on television he ''felt like that's not real football.'' With Kaepernick and the 49ers one win from the Super Bowl now, he's become a believer. LAIE, Hawaii (AP) — People in the small Hawaii hometown of Manti Te'o stood firmly behind the Notre Dame linebacker after the story of his girlfriend and her death from leukemia were revealed as a hoax. For the second day Thursday, no one answered the door at the modest, single-story wood home of Te'o's parents, in the small coastal town of Laie on Oahu's northern shore where Manti Te'o, an All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist, was born. Brian and Ottilia Te'o, did not appear to be inside. Members of the mostly Mormon community said they were dumbfounded and didn't believe Manti Te'o would have knowingly perpetrated such a story. The town of about 6,000 people, roughly an hour's drive from Honolulu, is home to a small Hawaii satellite campus of Brigham Young University. Lokelani Kaiahua, 42, said Te'o's parents were her classmates, and she knew them to have strong family values they instilled in their children. ''I just don't see something like that being made up from him or having any part of that because they're not those kind of people,'' she said while sitting and talking with friends a few doors down from the Te'o family home. According to media accounts that surrounded Te'o this season, his pur- See 49ERS, page 2B See TOWN, page 2B 7 p.m. GIRLS HOOPS Los Molinos Mercy 5:30 p.m. Corning Central Valley 7:30 p.m. WRESTLING MCT photo Red Bluff At Sacramento tourney Corning At Sacramento tourney NBA Warriors San Antonio 5:30 p.m. Kings Memphis 5 p.m. On the tube GOLF Noon TGC — PGA Tour, Humana Challenge, second round, at La Quinta, Calif. 4:30 p.m. TGC — Champions Tour, Mitsubishi Electric Championship, first round, at Ka'upulehu-Kona, Hawaii MEN'S COLLEGE HOCKEY 4:30 p.m. NBCSN — Harvard at Yale NBA BASKETBALL 4 p.m. ESPN — Chicago at Boston 6:30 p.m. ESPN — Oklahoma City at Dallas TENNIS 11 a.m. ESPN2 — Australian Open, third round, at Melbourne, Australia (same-day tape) 6 p.m. ESPN2 — Australian Open, third round, at Melbourne, Australia Midnight ESPN2 — Australian Open, third round, at Melbourne, Australia Late soccer result: Los Molinos boys def.

Try running back Frank Gore. ''I always tell Frank, 'Man, when you're done playing, come find me or I'll find you,''' Roman said Thursday. ''Because he's a guy I love working with as a player, and I'm sure I'd love working with as a coach.'' Often underappreciated and overlooked around the NFL, Gore has carried the 49ers through good times and mostly bad the last eight seasons. Coaches are quick to credit the reliable running back's smarts and savvy, doing everything from breaking down film of opponents to scouting potential draft picks. Gore's latest adaptation has come in the new read-option run game anchored by quarterback Colin Kaepernick that some thought might not suit his style. Instead, Gore surpassed 100 yards rushing in a playoff game for the first time in last week's 45-31 win over Green Bay, and the 49ers insist his knowledge is a vital part of the plan heading into Sunday's NFC championship at Atlanta. ''It's top shelf,'' 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of Gore's football acumen. ''Not to categorize it, but I know I have learned a lot from Frank, as well as the other running backs on our team. He sees it. He sees the big picture. He sees the whole picture. He sees it slowed down and he's got a very quick mind. He's able to make quick-minded decisions.'' Despite tearing ligaments in both knees at the University of Miami, Gore has rebounded to become one of the NFL's most durable players at a position that takes perhaps the biggest pounding. Gore is the franchise leader in yards rushing (8,839) and touchdowns rushing (51) and has been a staple of San Francisco's offense under three different head coaches. His versatility is what makes him special, coaches said,
