Same result. The Lady Spartans swept another Eastern Athletic League foe, Thursday night, dispatch- ing Lassen 25-14, 25-18, 25-15. Lassen grabbed the first six points of the match, but after that it was all Red Bluff. Riley Kittle had a superb night with 13 kills, eight digs and a block and her serving brought the Lady Spartans right back from their early deficit. Red Bluff then pushed their lead to 23-11 behind strong serving from Megan McColpin and Kittle got the Lady Spartans to game point with a couple of nice kills. Game 2 was more of the same. Red Bluff led 20-15 late before Kittle took over and scored four clutch kills down the stretch. April Allwardt added one of her seven kills and Red Bluff won 25-18. Game 3 was never in ques- tion as the Lady Spartans raced out to a 10-3 lead. They would push their lead to as many as 11 Daily News photo by Rich Greene points before finishing the Griz- zlies off.

While our state might have beat countries such as Saudi Arabia by an entire centu- ry on this issue, it still amazes such a fundamental right was only grant- ed within the lifespan of some of our most senior of citizens. A hundred years later life is defiantly better for women, but to say men and women are on com- pletely level terms — well that's just being ignorant. You needn't look further than the Sports section of a newspaper to see that's the case. Men continue to dominate the sports pages despite more and more women electing to play sports. Rich Greene I'm willing to bet across all forms of sports media you've heard more about whether or not male basketball players will play this week than what's going on in the women's basketball champi- onship. Obviously the gender gap is more profound the higher you go. Coverage of high school athlet- ics is a nirvana of equality when compared to professional leagues. Still, it's not exactly even. More times than not boys scores will get listed first in print and boys events finish off double- headers when both play. Whether it be which 4x400 relay goes last at a track meet or which game goes last at some- thing like Red Bluff's Holiday Classic basketball tournament you can rest assured the boys will be the featured event. That's how it is. You could argue these are small things, but so is opening up a car door for a woman. I certainly don't think any of these things are done on purpose, I'd like to believe it's more that it's just been built into our society's mindset. Eventually as time passes it will change. Unfortunately it starts at an early age. A group of Little Leaguers became rock stars this summer in Red Bluff when their team came within one game of going to the Little League World Series. They were in multiple newspa- pers, their games broadcast on radio, they were featured on the television news — ESPN even. They raised thousands of dollars from the community. Just three years earlier, a group of 11-and 12-year-old girls from Red Bluff accomplished the exact same feat. They came within one game of the Little League Softball World Series after becoming Northern California state champions and los- ing in the championship game of the Western Regional. Yet I don't remember parties at local restaurants, following their games on online trackers or their highlights being on Sports Center. Yes, they received local acco- lades, but nowhere to the extent of what we just saw. I'm not pointing these things out to say our society doesn't believe in gender equality or hasn't made process, but there are instances where the echoes of the past can still be heard. Passing a law does not fix every- thing, but hopefully it puts us on the right track. These are just instances that came to me — isolated to the sports world. I'm sure 50 percent of the population could tack on a few dozen more without much effort. Celebrations like the upcoming suffrage milestone allow us to won- der what men where thinking 100 years ago treating women like that. Let's just hope 100 more years from now they're still not asking that question about us.
