Ontheair Studersaid.Garciaputup 156 yards on 42 carries and a touchdown in 2015 and had 3 receptions for 66 yards. On defense Studer said the team will depend on 6'1", 215-pound junior Noah Maeder, who had 43 tackles and 2 sacks in 2015 as a sophomore. The Cardinals will open the season at home against the Enterprise Hornets, who finished 5-6 over- all and 3-3 league in 2015 before losing in the first round of the playoffs to Foothill. As for opponents, Studer said he expects West Valley and Lassen to field tough teams and singled out Eastern Athletic League newcomer Red Bluff as a team to watch. "I think it will be like a couple of years ago," Studer said. "It will be hard for any EAL team to run the table." Run the table or not, the Cardinals will need to perform better on the road to improve over their 2-3 league record and earn the right to host in the open- ing round of the playoffs. Next stop the semifinals. Football FROM PAGE 1 Olympics, this time ending not only a tournament run for the Argentines but also a couple careers. Ginobili, 39, and long- time 36-year-old teammate Andres Nocioni retired from international com- petition after the game, 12 years after winning gold in Athens. "We had a chance to grow up together and do some good things, win some games together. It was fun. It's a lot of years," said Luis Scola, who is also 36 but plans to keep playing. "We formed part of something unique we did for our coun- try and it's going to be there. Sometimes we're not going to win, like today, some- times we won but we fought together for many years." The Americans have won 23 straight in the Olympics since Argentina beat them in the 2004 semifinals, and this was how they usually do it: too much firepower, too much defense, and way too much talent. It took a little while to get going, as Argentina opened a 10-point lead. The Argen- tines made nine of their first 10 shots inside the arc and led 19-9 when Nocioni drilled a 3-pointer. But the Americans finished the first period with a 16-2 run, get- ting the final six points from DeMarcus Cousins, to take a 25-21 edge to the second. Three-point plays by Cousins and Jimmy Butler around Durant's 3-pointer in an 11-0 start to the sec- ond made it 36-21 before Fa- cundo Campazzo stopped the onslaught with a three- point play. Cousins, the normal starting center playing as a reserve, finished with 15 points. Spain beat France 92- 67 earlier Wednesday, its fourth straight victory af- ter two losses to open the Olympics. The U.S. edged Spain 118-107 in the 2008 fi- nal and 107-100 four years ago in London. The loudest crowd yet for a U.S. game, featuring boxer Floyd Mayweather and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, was treated to an explosive performance by the Americans, with dev- astating crossovers by Du- rant and Kyrie Irving that left defenders helpless and brought teammates to their feet on the bench. They opened a 25-point lead in the first half and were in control from that point, the first time since their second game in Rio they had it easy. "We fed off wanting to play better than the last three games," Durant said. Olympics FROM PAGE 1 By Jimmy Durkin BayAreaNewsGroup Derek Carr hasn't thrown a preseason touchdown since his rookie season with the Raiders. He went 51 passes last preseason without find- ing the end zone last sea- son and was also shut out in Oakland's exhibition de- but this year. Carr gets another chance Thursday when the Raid- ers hit the road to face the Green Bay Packers, who will sit their two-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Carr, who completed 3 of 7 passes for 44 yards in two series last week, admits he pays at least some attention to his and the team's exhibi- tion results. "I put a little bit into it because I always want to win," Carr said. "I want to go 4-0 in the preseason all the time, 5-0 if we have the Hall of Fame game. I always want to win." The Raiders did win their preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals 31- 10 behind another Matt McGloin special. The Raid- ers backup tossed a pair of touchdown passes, even though he completed just 4 of 11 passes. The Raiders figure to give a slight bump in play- ing time to their starters, who need to clean up the penalty situation. Coach Jack Del Rio wasn't happy to see 11 penalties for 86 yards, including two pre- snap fouls on the offense's opening drive. Aside from that, here are five players to watch in Thursday's game against the Packers: CORY JAMES The sixth- round pick from Colorado State played well last week in his NFL debut, looking solid in coverage at inside linebacker and picking up five tackles. James may start Thursday with Ben Heeney nursing what ap- pears to be a minor injury. He took all the first-team reps for Heeney at Tuesday's practice. GEORGE ATKINSON III The star of the Cardinals' win with his two touchdown runs and 97 yards rush- ing, Atkinson needs to show he can do it again to give himself a serious shot at this roster. As dynamic as he was, his 53- and 35- yard touchdown runs came against third- and fourth- stringers. Even if he's on the team, there won't be a ton of carries left over if Lata- vius Murray and DeAndre Washington stay healthy, so he'll have to continue to show something in special teams kick coverage and the kick return game. DARIUS LATHAM The un- drafted free agent from In- diana played 20 snaps in the preseason opener and Pro Football Focus had him at its highest rated rookie defensive/nose tackle dur- ing Week 1. He finished with one tackle and one quarterback hit. JOHNNY HOLTON Part of that large group of un- drafted receivers compet- ing for a spot, Holton didn't catch any passes last week and in fact had a drop. But he recovered a fumble on an Arizona punt and returned one kickoff for 43 yards. JAMES COWSER The out- side linebacker/defensive end from Southern Utah has looked solid throughout camp and the offseason pro- gram and has a good shot to make the roster. He had five tackles last week in his de- buttotieforthesecond-most on the team with James and Leon Orr. He also had a hit on the quarterback. RAIDERS Five players to watch against Packers PHOTO BY NORM HALL — GETTY IMAGES Oakland's George Atkinson III, right, had a standout game against the Arizona Cardinals on Friday. He will be a player to watch against the Green Bay Packers tonight.
