Roundup FROM PAGE 1 The fourth quarter was marred by multiple false start penalties and a Da- vila fumble when he was hit while throwing, but these hiccups didn't trans- late into Tigers points. George Marin recovered a Tigers fumble with 8:51 left in the game, allowing the Cardinals to burn more time off the clock with an 8-point lead. A late Tigers drive was extended by a couple of pass interference calls on fourth-down plays and Oroville scored with 2:31 left to play, but the 2-point conversion failed. Corning recovered the ensuing onside kick and wound the clock down to 45 seconds before turning it over on downs. Oroville threw a cou- ple of long passes before a third was picked off by Noah Maeder to ice the game for Corning. Studer praised his play- ers for the win, but cau- tioned them the team has a long road ahead with four road games in a row. The team expected to jump out to an early lead, Studer said, and players were a bit shocked when theyfoundthemselveshead- ing intohalftimedown 11-0. "We really got out- played," Studer said. "We were fortunate to only be down by 11." Defending the pass bet- ter in the second half and giving Davila a breather after back-to-back long runs made the difference, Studer said. The Cardinals are slated to face Orland on the road at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. Corning FROM PAGE 1 CHIP THOMPSON — DAILY NEWS Corning's George Marin (56) and Andrew Hernandez (51) swarm on a loose ball during Friday's 19-17victory over Oroville. Marin would make the recovery. with makeshift headquar- ters for networks, news outlets and the team's promotions department. (That's where the scream came from. It was Green taping a yell to be shown on the scoreboard this sea- son). "Ten years ago, I was begging people to come to media day and offering reporters a chance to ride to the event with Mookie Blaylock," Ridder said, re- ferring to a point guard from a forgettable squad. "Now I'm telling reporters that they can't even come in their own car." ESPN was on the scene providing live coverage this time. So was Com- cast Sports Net Bay Area, which did a live, 90-min- ute special from the event. Sports Illustrated was here to snap cover shots. It was also certainly the first Warriors media day in which players fielded ques- tions about their appear- ances on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," (that was Curry), "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (Thomp- son) and ringing the clos- ing bell for Nasdaq Mar- ketSite. (Festus Ezeli) In all, it made for the greatest "What I did for my summer vacation" session in Golden State history. Curry, for example, played golf with Presi- dent Barack Obama, fired socks into a laundry bas- ket with Colbert and vis- ited China, the Philip- pines and Japan. A reporter from Sina. com in China was on hand to ask Curry if he planned to return to the country next season, adding, "If so, our Chinese friends wanted me to tell you to please bring Riley." Riley, 3, is Curry's daughter and fellow me- dia star from last season's playoffs. "Tell them I appreciate their support," Curry re- plied. "We'll see if Riley wants to go. It's up to her." Thompson talked about his appearance on Kim- mel, which was about more than late-night laughs. The Warriors guard was there to honor a man who played some serious defense: Spencer Stone, one of the three Americans who took down alleged gunman Ayoub El-Khazzani on a crowded passenger train. Stone, 22, is from Sac- ramento and a big War- riors fan. Thompson pre- sented him with keys to a new Chevy Camaro con- vertible as well as tickets to the Warriors' regular-sea- son opener on Oct. 27. "It was just cool to talk to Spencer," Thompson said. "It was just fun to meet a young man with so much courage, especially knowing that he's a Dubs fan. One of his wishes was to go to opening night. To be able to do that for him is awesome." Andrew Bogut, the War- riors center, said the high- light of his summer was a trip to Las Vegas. And? "That's all I can say about that," Bogut said, smiling wide. Several players marveled at how they were recog- nized during their travels. Ezeli — a defensive special- ist who averaged only 4.4 points per game last year — said fans spotted him dur- ing a basketball goodwill trip to South Africa. Such are the effects of not only winning the War- riors' first NBA title since 1975, but also doing so in a style that would make it hard for the Harlem Glo- betrotters to keep pace. Curry set an NBA record for 3-pointers in the post- season with 98. That was 40 more — 40! — than the old mark set by Reggie Miller in 2000. "They're a huge deal ev- erywhere," said Marc Stein, the ESPN reporter on hand providing live updates. "They're an enjoyable team to watch stylistically. If your team isn't playing, I'm guessing you probably don't mind watching these guys play because they put on a good show." In the 24 hours af- ter winning the title, the Warriors sold more mer- chandise than any other champion in NBA history — the 2010 Los Angeles Lakers held the old mark. The Warriors report that their season ticket priority waiting list now stands at 16,000. Their triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers was the highest-rated NBA Fi- nals since Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls over the Utah Jazz in 1998. Now, the Warriors will try to do it as defending champs.

But the end result was the same for Kansas City, which lost its second straight. Rodgers was 24 of 35 in another masterful perfor- mance for the MVP quar- terback. The Packers controlled the line of scrimmage when it counted and got to Alex Smith for seven sacks. Smith finished 24 of 40 for 290 yards and a touch- down. Under pressure near his own end zone, Smith also threw an interception to Sam Shields at the Chiefs 19 with about 7 minutes left in the third quarter. Shields returned it 15 yards, and on the next play, Rodg- ers found Cobb for a 4-yard touchdown and a 31-7 lead. Rodgers and Cobb hooked up for another 4-yard scoring pass in the fourth. With the score, Rodgers set the franchise record with his fourth ca- reer game of at least five touchdown passes. Kansas City stopped its long streak of no touch- down receptions by a re- ceiver when Jeremy Ma- clin hauled in a 5-yard TD pass with 56 seconds left in the third quarter to get the Chiefs within 31-14. It was the first touch- down pass caught by a re- ceiver since Donnie Avery had a 79-yard catch-and- run against the Indianap- olis Colts in a wild card game on Jan. 4, 2014. A week after fumbling twice, Charles had a lit- tle fun with his own Lam- beau Leap into the await- ing arms of Chiefs fans fol- lowing his 4-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, the Packers prevented Charles from making explosive plays, limiting him to 49 yards on 11 carries. For Green Bay, Jones fin- ished with seven catches for 139 yards and a score. He had a 52-yard catch in the fourth quarter off a free-play situation follow- ing a defensive penalty that set up Cobb's third touch- down catch.
