Nothing was scheduled yet. OAKLAND (AP) — The Bay Area could be a landing spot for Brandon Roy's return to basketball. The Golden State War- riors and Roy met earlier this week about him join- ing the team in the free agent's attempted come- back, a person familiar with the situation said Tuesday.

Ten Corning Manta Rays spent three days competing and some of the swimmers swam eight or more events. The swimmers continue to work hard and improve during the season, and this invita- tional reflected their efforts. A few highlights include : Joseph Wilson (13- 14 boys) achieved his first ever "A"-Time Stan- dard in the 50 free style. Wilson also won second in high point in his age group of 13- to 14-year- old boys after narrowly being beaten by four points. He also qualified to swim in at least three events at the Junior Olympics which is this month in Roseville. Kara Beckwith (9-10 girls) attained three "BB" Time Standards which has qualified her to swim those events at the Junior Olympics. This was her first time attaining times fast enough to make her eligible to participate. James Stokes (13-14 boys) also kicked it up in the 50 freestyle which gave him a "BB" time which qualified him to swim at the Junior Olympics. This was his first time qualifying for Junior Olympics as well. The following is how everyone placed at the Durham Dolphin Invita- tional: Kara Beckwith (9-10 girls): 5th place 100 breaststroke 1:45.09 BB, 6th place 50 fly 45:22, 5th place 50 Back 45.86, 5th place 100 free 1:20.67 BB, 100 fly 4th place 1:38.20 BB, 50 breaststroke 4th place 48:01.

False starts and disquali- While he has only played for Portland, Gold- en State does offer some familiarity. Roy used to be represented by new War- riors general manager Bob Myers, a former sports agent. Roy would seem to be a perfect fit for Golden State's system — if healthy — playing along- side shooters Stephen Curry and Klay Thomp- son. New center Andrew Bogut also is expected to team with scoring power forward David Lee. It's unclear how much money Roy is seeking. The Warriors also are still unsure of the status of Roy's knees. Myers had said Mon- day that it's unlikely the Warriors would use all of their mid-level exception — about $5 million — because the team was close to the luxury tax. It's also doubtful Roy would sign for the veteran mini- mum, which will be around $1 million a year.

Red Bluff swimmers practice in a 25- yard pool and swam in a 25- meter pool in Etna. The dis- tance per lap is greater and the backstroke flags which help swimmers estimate their timing for a flip turn is different for each of the two distance pools. Swimmers must remember to use the flags during warm ups to count their strokes and esti- mate their flip turns better so a disqualification is less like- ly to occur. boys in his age group to bring home his 3rd place bronze medal.

Chloe Casey beat her Zoe Casey increased her speed in the 100-meter breaststroke for a personal record of 2:25.60. Erica Downey made points for himself and the Tritons in the nine- and 10- year-old boys group. Addi- tionally, he improved his time by nearly four seconds in the 50-meter breaststroke.

During the 200-meter individual medley race, Downey's freestyle leg allowed her to surpass and beat out the swimmer who had been leading the heat by less than one second. Luke Downey won his heat for the 50-meter back- stroke event, scoring his first great time and is glad to be back. Ted Sheppard had his best swim in the ages nine and 10 boys 100-meter indi- vidual medley. Rylie Vise was proud she Mitchell Sauve raced with 13 and 14-year-old boys and competed in dis- tances longer than he did as a 12 year old.

Vise also deducted enough time in the 50-meter butterfly to earn a time under one minute and a third-place win for the highest place she has ever earned. She improved her times and finished the meet in sixth place for the 9- and 10- year-old girls group. The Golden State War- riors formally introduced Harrison Barnes, Festus Ezeli and Draymond Green on Monday, bringing together an eclectic trio that took far different paths to the pros. The rookies are still learning about each other — and their new sur- roundings — but can bond behind a common thread. Warriors general man- ager Bob Myers had all three rated higher on the team's draft board than they were chosen. Each also expected to be taken higher, and each is eager to show why next season. ''You hope they have that edge,'' Myers said, ''whether they're drafted first or 50th.'' Maggie Sheppard returned to swimming with the Tritons after a two-year absence and swam distances in the 13- and 14-year-old girls group that were at least twice the length she had swam before. She had a Mikaela Weber swam the 100-meter butterfly in 1:41.01, beating her person- al record by 20 seconds. The Red Bluff Tritons will host a home meet July 13-15 at the Red Bluff High School Pool. Competing in the pool and having nearly 100 swimmers participate might earn the team the first- place finish they are work- ing so hard for this season. That shouldn't be a problem for this group. Barnes, considered the top recruit in the country when he left his Iowa high school for North Carolina two years ago, led the Tar Heels with 17.1 points per game and also grabbed 5.2 rebounds last season. The Warriors drafted the 6- foot-8 small forward, still only 20 years old, seventh overall last week. See ROOKS, page 2B
