Higgins put up 11 of his game- high 24 points in the second quarter as the Wolves closed the gap to four points in the final minute of the first half. 6:30 p.m. But Corning got a lift when Cody Long beat the first half buzzer with a 15-foot jumper to give the Cardinals a 35-29 halftime lead. Corning would score the first eight points of the second half as Shoemaker began taking over for the Cardinals scoring eight points in the frame. 7:30 p.m. GIRLS HOOPS at West Valley Tourney G Greenville Los Molinos University Prep Los Molinos Corning kept pushing the pace of the game from there.

WRESTLING Corning out the night — netting the Bobcats 42 points in a 62-28 win. 28 Paradise 62 Too many pins against them cost the Cardinals any chance they had, Wednesday night, of defeating the Bobcats in Paradise. Paradise wrestlers pinned Corn- ing wrestlers seven times through- "Our seniors need to do a better job of staying off of their back," Corning coach Cort Mitchell said. "We had four seniors get pinned, one by a freshman and that is unac- ceptable." The Cardinals did manage four pins of their own. Nate Fultz earned a pin just before time expired at 5:50 over Gary Sapien at 126 pounds. Erik Miranda continued his strong season with a pin of Izzy Welch in their 220-pound match. Noah Hall pinned Austin Hag- gerty at 285 pounds in 1:12 and Noe Franco got a 195-pound victory over Cameron Williams at 5:34. At 182 pounds Daniel Welborn won by major decision 12-4 over Keefer Fulton. "It's only going to get tougher as we move into our league schedule so if our seniors can't do a better job we'll be in trouble," Mitchell said. Next up, Corning heads to the Nor Cal Championships this week- end in Anderson. 5 p.m. FOX SACRAMENTO (AP) — If the Sacra- mento Kings stood any chance at success this sea- son, Paul Westphal had to find a way to control talented but volatile center DeMar- cus Cousins. He couldn't — and lost his job because of it. The Kings fired Westphal Thursday after two-plus sea- sons as coach, cutting ties amid a slow start and an escalating dispute with Cousins that threatened to consume the locker room. Assistant Keith Smart, let go by the Golden State War- riors in April after one sea- son at the helm, signed a deal to become the team's new head coach. With the Cousins-Westphal spat showing no resolution, Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof finally decided to take action. Instead of trad- ing away a promising young big man, they made West- phal the first firing of the lockout-shortened season. ''We're in a situation here where you can't take a philo- sophical vacation because things are happening in real time,'' Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie said. ''You start to keep seeing the same things over and over again, you can't sit around and meditate forever about how you're going to approach them or Westphal See KINGS, page 2B Kings fire Westphal
