ANDERSON JuliaBrandtbroke two more Red Bluff High School records Friday at the Nor Cal In- vitational. Brandt broke the 200 free- style record with a time of 2:05.28, breaking the previous record of 2:07.44. She finished fourth. In the 100 freestyle Brandt's time of 55.75 seconds broke the previous mark of 57.5 seconds and was good for second place. Both of the school records were set in 1989. Brandt was sixth in the 100 backstroke. Brandt anchored the Lady Spartans to a fifth place finish in the 200 freestyle relay, teaming with Nicole Sauve, Haley Rosser and Jillian Strom. Around a dozen schools com- peted at the meet, which serves as a preview of the upcoming league and Northern Section championships. Nicole Sauve had one of the Top 10 fastest times in Red Bluff history with a swim of 1:02.77 in the 100 freestyle. She was 11th in the 100 backstroke. Mitchell Sauve was eighth in the 200 individual medley and ninth in the 100 breaststroke. Red Bluff swims at Enterprise High School Wednesday against Foothill. Field hockey Pleasant Valley 1, Corning 0, Flicks >> Only one shot got past the goalies in Corning Monday, a flick in the fifth and final round by the visitors. Sarah Boone made eight saves and blocked four out of five flicks for Corning, which was celebrating its "Stick it to Cancer" game. The Lady Cardinals gave it their all, but found themselves in a scoreless tie following 60 minutes of play and 10 minutes of 7-on-7 in overtime. White Armstrong, Maricruz O'Campo and Kobye Rezendes each had two shots. Coach Teresa Lamb said Gates Fear had her best game of the season, leading the Corn- ing attack up the field. Ally Zuppan, Dani Zuppan and Ashlee Mishoe also had strong games for Corning. "I'm proud of the girls for raising money for cancer re- search," Lamb said. "The girls enjoyed the pink jerseys and taking part in helping cancer research." Corning is at River Valley to- day at 4:45 p.m. PREP ROUNDUP MoreRedBluffrecords fallatNorCalswimmeet LadyCardsloseheartbreakerinfieldhockey RedBluffsophomoreMitchellSauvefinishesninthinthe100breaststrokeFridayattheNorCalInvitationallastFridayatAndersonHigh School. By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press NAPA A new PGA Tour season starts Thursday, and it's about time. The last thing American golf needs right now is another idle week to rehash a Ryder Cup loss that is getting overcooked by the minute. It's probably good that Phil Mickelson is not expected to play again until we know which two teams are going to the Su- per Bowl. To spend a week or more look- ing back at the pivotal moments is standard fare for a great event like the Ryder Cup. What if Justin Rose had not made that 45-foot putt in Sunday singles at Medinah, or if Ian Poul- ter had missed any one of his last five birdie putts Saturday after- noon? If only Stewart Cink had made either one of those short birdie putts over the last four holes at Celtic Manor. And don't think Europeans haven't seen enough of Justin Leonard and that putt heard 'round the world at Brookline. But that hasn't been the case this year. When it comes to a Ry- der Cup review, no one is talking about the golf. For the Americans, it seems as though the Ryder Cup only got started after it was over. One story says U.S. captain Tom Watson scoffed at his gift from the players — a replica of the Ryder Cup they signed. An- other story said Watson wasn't dismissive of the gift, rather he tried to motivate his players by telling them he wanted the real thing. Watson was not the Great Com- municator. On that point every- one can agree. But to prattle on about Wat- son's stubborn leadership style — did that catch anyone by sur- prise? — or the pairings he never seemed to get right is to overlook the obvious. GOLF Time to look ahead, not behind By Melissa Nelson-Gabriel The Associated Press NICEVILLE, FLA. The play that killed Niceville High wide re- ceiver Taylor Haugen six years ago happens in every game, at every level. In a junior varsity game with his mother watching in the stands, his quarterback's pass was slightly high, so Taylor, 15, thrust both hands over his head to catch it. One defender slammed into his now exposed abdomen, the other simultaneously hit him in the back. Taylor staggered to the sidelines and collapsed. He was dead hours later. "The injury that took our son's life was a crushed liver — it was compared to a high-speed car crash by one of the surgeons," Kathy Haugen said. Hoping to prevent further trag- edies, Haugen and her husband, Brian, created the Taylor Hau- gen Foundation, which through its YESS, Youth Equipment for Sports Safety, program gives high school teams nationwide protec- tive padding that might have saved their son. The gel padding, worn by many NFL players, is molded to securely fit each play- er's body shape.

The wild-card Giants took Game 4 in the best-of-five Divi- sion Series and eliminated the Nationals by scoring on a bases- loaded walk, a groundout and a wild pitch. Hunter Pence turned in a defensive gem in right field. Santiago Casilla put the po- tential tying run aboard in the ninth on a two-out walk to Bryce Harper, then retired Wil- son Ramos on a grounder to end it. Casilla was mobbed on the mound as fireworks shot off from the center-field scoreboard. San Francisco travels to St. Louis for Game 1 on Saturday.
