That was the goal for "This is our biggest fundraiser," Tritons Head Coach Samantha Robinson said. Jim Sauve, parent of two Tritons, mans the grill at Red Bluff High School on Tuesday.

Not because the new Golden State Warriors general manager and his wife, Kristen, have a second daughter due next month. Nor does it have any- thing to do with his job security or health. With four picks in Thursday said. ''I woke up at 3 in the morning thinking about the draft, thinking about options. And I told my wife, SWIMMING night's NBA draft, Myers can't stop thinking about all the possible scenar- ios when he heads into Golden State's draft room as the head of basketball operations for the first time — starting with how to handle the team's No. 7 overall pick. ''There's a lot of stress,'' Myers 'All we have to do is like seven guys. That's all we have to do is like seven guys — we, not me, is like 7 guys. And I think we like seven guys.''' Who those are will be revealed soon. Golden State owns the seventh, 30th, 35th and 52nd picks in the draft. Only Portland and Cleveland will have as many selections when NBA Commissioner David Stern heads to the microphone in Newark, N.J., pre- sumably to announce Kentucky's Anthony Davis is heading to New Orleans first overall. After that, almost everybody else is in play on Golden State's board — handwritten by Myers. The Warriors worked out more than 60 players privately in the last couple months. Myers and his staff attended the NBA scouting combine in Chicago, and the former sports agent has had countless calls with many of his former colleagues. Myers maintains that it's unlikely the team will draft four players after taking three rookies last year. And if for some reason the team does select four, at least one will likely stay in Europe, he said. Lacob, executive board member Jerry West and assistant GMs Kirk Lacob and Travis Schlenk will likely be looking to make moves on draft night — and Myers didn't rule out the pos- sibility of trading the team's top pick for a veteran.

In the past, the fundrais- er brought in about $2,000. Red Bluff High School student Nicole Sauve, 14, has been participating in the event since its inception four years ago. "It's a great way to raise money," Sauve said. Maggie Sheppard, 13, said she swims for fun, and calm," Wagner said, adding that he was going to shoot for 200 laps on the day. Sixteen-year-old Joshua Jackson, who is coming off a fourth place overall finish at a recent meet, said he is partial to the butterfly because of the challenge. It shows if "you're not in shape," he said. The other challenge to swimming? "Getting to morning practice on time," Jackson said jokingly. The Sharks also announced that poten- tial free agent defense- man Brad Stuart signed the three-year deal he agreed to last week.

The exception was major col- lege football. WASHINGTON (AP) — Play- far, Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger said. ''It goes just the right amount,'' That ended Tuesday. Come 2014, the BCS is dead. A committee of university pres- idents approved a plan for a four- team playoff put forward by com- missioners of the top football con- ferences. The move completes a six- month process for the commission- ers, who have been working on a new way to determine a major col- lege football champion after years of griping from fans. The latest configuration is certain to make even more money for the schools than the old system. he said. The new system doesn't go too views,'' Steger said. ''I think it would be a serious mistake to assume it was a rubber stamp.'' Instead of simply matching the ''There were differences of nation's No. 1 and No. 2 teams in a title game after the regular season, the way the Bowl Championship Series has done since 1998, the new format will create a pair of national semifinals. College football fans have been clamoring for a playoff for years, and the BCS has been a constant target for criticism. Lawmakers have railed against it. A political action committee was formed, ded- icated to its destruction. The Justice Department looked into whether it broke antitrust laws. Even President Obama said he wanted a playoff. Now it's a reality. No. 1 will play No. 4, and No. 2 will play No. 3 on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. The sites of those games will rotate among the four current BCS See PLAYOFF, page 2B
