"I knew I needed to step up for my team because (Orland was) guarding the bigs," Long said. Long added seven in the second period and finished with 13 points, which led all Cardinal scorers despite scoring just two points in the second half.

Lawmaker seeks rights for transgender students SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California lawmaker has introduced legislation aimed at guaranteeing transgender students the right to use public school restrooms and participate on the sports teams that correspond with their expressed genders. The bill reflects the accommodations that a number of U.S. schools are being asked to make as Americans start identifying as transgender at younger ages. If approved by the state Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's AB1266 would give young people the right ''to participate in sex-segregated programs, activities and facilities'' regardless of what sexual category exists on their school records. The measure was introduced last week by Ammiano, D-San Francisco. The Capitol Resource Institute, a Sacramento-based group that lobbies for religious conservatives, highlighted Ammiano's bill in a newsletter sent to its members on Friday, promising to fight the legislation on behalf of students who might ''object to sharing bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms with students of the opposite sex.'' The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education issued a policy last week granting the same protections, but Ammiano's bill is believed to be the first to explicitly spell them out as a matter of state law, Transgender Law Center executive director Masen Davis said.
