Red Bluff pulled off a thrilling 54-49 win over the Paradise Lady Bobcats to take over first place in the Eastern Athletic League- South. It was the same formula that has seen the Lady Spar- tans through their five-game win streak. A total team effort that turns the game over to their star guard Lily Brose in the waning minutes with a chance to win. Brose scored the Spar- tans final seven points of the game on her way to a 20- point night and broke a tie twice in the final minute. With the crowded gym and nearly everyone in it dressed in pink to support cancer awareness the girls fed off the energy to beat Paradise for the first time in three tries this season. Red Bluff improved to 13-9 overall and 6-4 in the EAL-South, a game better on both fronts than Paradise.

Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff said Tuesday that the team has agreed to extend the con- tracts of the general man- ager as well as team Pres- ident Michael Crowley through the 2019 season. Wolff, confirming com- ments first made on Bloomberg Television, wrote in an email to The Associated Press that the deals are in the process of being finalized.

The Kings trailed 69-60 to start the fourth, and coach Keith Smart left his starting backcourt of Thornton and Evans on the bench and put his trust in Fredette.

After clank- ing his first two attempts of the game Tuesday night, Fredette found his range. He buried three 3-point- ers, scored off a steal and fed Green for a dunk that got Sacramento back in it.

The A's are hoping for a resolution to the long-standing dispute soon. Beane and Crowley hold small ownership stakes in the team. Crow- ley took over as team president at the end of the 1998 season. Beane has been Oak- land's general manager since 1997. He is the sub- ject of Michael Lewis' 2003 book on baseball statistics and economics titled ''Moneyball,'' which was made into a film starring Brad Pitt as Beane last year. Beane bucked the base- ball trend of relying on the common trio of statistics — batting average, home runs and RBIs for hitters; wins, losses and ERA for pitchers — and instead turned to hard numbers over subjective scouting to fuel his team's success- ful runs in the early 2000s. His staff helped usher in what became known as the stats revolu- tion, a complete overhaul from the early days of the basic boxscore, the premise behind the best- selling book that immor- talized Beane beyond the Bay Area. 1B Wednesday February 8, 2012 A's agree to extend Beane through 2019 Jessica Macdonald Tehama Family Fitness Center 2498 South Main St • Red Bluff • 528-8656 We offer the facility and programs that will help you make your body its best.
