That's What I'm Talking 'Bout, Willis

So last night Robyn and I stopped at Borders so Robyn could get some books for school. And we find Todd Bridges signing his book. We didn't buy the book, but we did see Todd.

We have a winner!

Back in the day, I won several Copy Editing and Headline Writing awards in college. So I can recognize brilliance when I see it.

Big Game

If you look close enough, you'll see me listed on the Girls Division 3 game yesterday. This was the Los Angeles Unified School District championships. For those not familiar with L.A., that's the championships out of 104 high schools.
25 years of officiating high school basketball landed me here!

Eye Exam


I went to the eye doctor this morning. Contrary to some people at Taft High School last night, she said I was not blind. Yes, that is me in the photo.

Girls Basketball: Taft loses heartbreaker

The Taft of Woodland Hills girls basketball team was so close to victory on Thursday in a City Section semifinal game against Narbonne of Harbor City it thought it was going back to the Div. I City Section championship game after coming up short against Chatsworth last year.

The Gauchos had other ideas as they used a buzzer beating layup from Atoe Jackson to send the game into overtime and withstood the Toredors in the extra four minute period for a 50-47 upset victory.

"I don't know what it feels like to be stabbed in the heart but if I could imagine it I think it feels something like this right now," Taft's UNLV-bound senior guard Rmanii Haynes said.

Taft took a 44-42 lead with seven seconds remaining in regulation when Haynes swopped in and stole the ball from Kimberly Pickett and raced down for a layup.

Narbonne called timeout and somehow scored when Tori Breshers broke free on the sideline, dribbled to the middle and found Jackson, who made a layup as the buzzer sounded.

"We got lost on defense there and a lot of other times," Taft coach Mark Drucker said.

In overtime, the Gauchos (22-9) went up by three points but Haynes drilled a 3-pointer from the left corner to tie game at 47-47 with 1:14 remaining.

However, Taft wouldn't score again and Narbonne received a free throw from Tailer Butler and two more from Jamesha Chapman to win it.

Haynes missed on a driving layup that would have given Taft a one-point lead after Butler's free throw and Skyy Lewis didn't even try for a 3-pointer at the end, inexplicably driving for a layup as the buzzer sounded.
