Holland's play- off-leading performances as senior quarterback for the football team and point guard for the basket- ball team were remark- able. Named Male Athlete Not to mention this quick, intelligent athlete also qualified for section finals in track and field for the long and triple jump. He jumps to the top. Female Athlete of the Follow us on Twitter @Tehama Sports Year went to Lily Brose, who overcame knee surg- eries her freshman and sophomore years to lead Red Bluff's basketball team to become EAL- South Champions. She was also a state qualifier in the 100 and 200-meter sprints and 4x400 relay Brose's never quit atti- tude rose her to the top of the field. Female Sportsman of the year went to Mercy's dual-sport senior Maggie Keller, who helped lead the Lady Warriors to the section title game in vol- leyball. On the hoops team, Keller's pass-first mentality and ability to include her teammates are why she was passed this award. Year was awarded to Corning's dual-sport senior Erik Miranda. Miranda also took on dual-duty on Corning's football team on the offensive and defensive line, where he was an integral player. A fluke, season-ending injury stopped his run to qualifiy for the state wrestling championship, but the support he gave his team- mates the rest of the sea- son is why he took home this award.

Pitching less than 24 hours after Matt Cain threw the first perfect game in Giants history, Zito was unable to keep the ball in the park. He allowed two home runs, one a grand slam, and San Francisco failed to complete a sweep, dropping the series finale 6-3 to the Houston Astros on Thursday. Zito (5-4) lasted five innings, allowing five runs and five hits. He walked three and struck out three in losing two straight decisions for the first time this sea- son. ''I screwed up mak- ing pitches and things happened after that,'' Zito said. ''I can improve on a lot of things.'' After tossing 8 1-3 shutout innings against the Chicago Cubs on June 3, Zito has allowed nine runs and 14 hits over his last 11 innings. ''He was throwing the ball well,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ''He allowed a solo home run and then got out of sync.'' two-run homer and Hector Sanchez added a sacrifice fly for the Giants, who are 12-5 over their past 17 games. ''They trust me out Brandon Belt hit a MCT photo Ryan Theriot avoids Brian Bixler's slide Thursday.

''That makes you feel comfortable in every at bat.'' first career grand slam, Matt Downs also home- red and Justin Maxwell drove in a run for the Astros, who had dropped 13 of their pre- vious 17 — including a 10-0 loss Wednesday night in which Cain J.D. Martinez hit his tossed a perfect game. Jose Altuve had two hits and walked as the second baseman contin- ues to rank among the major league leaders in average and hits. ''We had to bounce back today and we had to get runs early,'' Downs said. ''Altuve set the tone early and got it over with. That pumped all of us up.'' Wandy Rodriguez (6- 4) went six innings to win his third straight Daily News honors top Tehama high school athletes decision, allowing three runs and six hits. Brett Myers worked the ninth for his 16th save in 17 opportunities. Zito walked Altuve, Brian Bixler and Jed Lowrie in succession to open the third, setting up Martinez's slam that traveled halfway up the bleachers in left field. He has allowed four home runs in his past two games after allow- ing four in his previous eight. 1B Friday June 15, 2012 Raiders wrap offseason ALAMEDA (AP) — After spending most of the past two months installing an entirely new playbook on offense and defense and building a relationship between a new coaching staff and players, the Oakland Raiders ended their off- season program. The team held its final minicamp practice and meetings on Thursday before splitting up for the next six weeks. When new coach Dennis Allen next gathers his entire team, it will be to start training camp in Napa on July 29. ''I was pleased with the progress,'' Allen said. ''Obviously, we're not near where we need to be yet, it's always going to be a work in progress. But I specifi- cally thought over the last couple of days that I could kind of feel that we were kind of figuring out what we were asking them to do and I thought the guys really respond- ed over the last couple of days.'' Most of the players will head home for the next six weeks before reconvening in Napa. Injured players can rehab at the facility but coach- es are not allowed to dis- cuss football at all with the players. Umpire calls 2 perfect games SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Major league pitchers are going to start demanding Ted Barrett for their starts. Not necessarily for his mastery of the strike zone. Simply because he's a good luck charm with a mask. Barrett was behind the plate Wednesday night when San Francis- co Giants' right-hander Matt Cain pitched a per- fect game against the Houston Astros in a 10- 0 victory. He also was the home plate umpire when David Cone threw his perfect game for the New York Yankees in a 6-0 win over the Mon- treal Expos on July 18, 1999. It makes Barrett the first major league umpire to call balls and strikes for two perfect games. And if pitchers ask for Barrett, they might want Brian Runge as well. The banquet recog- nized athletes who made the Athletes of the Week feature because of their ability to stand out and contribute in and outside the lines. Runge, who was at third base for Cain's gem, was behind the plate when six Seattle pitchers combined for a 1-0 no-hit win over the Los Angeles Dodgers last week and for Philip Humber's perfect game for the Chicago White Sox against the Mariners on April 21. Barrett said experi- ence has shown him when he might be a wit- ness to baseball history. ''As the game goes on, you look up on the board, you see zero hits and you see the guy's facing the minimum and you know he's throwing the ball pretty well, locating his spots,'' Barrett said. ''And so, there's been a lot of times I've thought 'This guy, he could be unhit- table tonight.''' Cain was in that place, according to Bar- rett. It was in contrast to Cone's effort. ''Cone had the big, big back-door breaking ball. Turns out none of them had ever faced Cone before, so they were a little more baf- fled by Cone's stuff,'' Barrett said. ''With Cain throwing the ball where he wanted to, location was awesome.'' It was no surprise that Cain sat by himself in the Giants' dugout as he approached his his- toric moment. That's just baseball supersti- tion. Turns out, Runge didn't want to tempt fate, either. ''The third base coach for Houston made a comment and I didn't even acknowledge it,'' Runge said. ''He came out and said 'We're going to break it up this inning.' I think it was the seventh. ''Then, in the eighth, (third baseman Chris) Johnson came out and I could tell he wanted to say something. He gave me a look and I just kind of looked away because I didn't want no part of anybody saying anything.'' Then Runge had to deal with his own feel- ings. Though he claims not to be superstitious, Runge found he was contradicting himself. '' ... For the last five innings, I went to the exact same spot in between innings and stood. I didn't spit my gum out. I go through a lot of gum, normally,'' he said. ''I guess I don't believe myself. I was just a big fan myself down there.''
