  • Jaguars claw to a repeat

    Weird calls. Technical fouls. Ejections. And some pretty darn good basketball.

    All of it added up to a wild finish that saw the Capital Jaguars defend their Stu Clark Tournament trophies against Phoenix’s Central High 58-53 on Saturday night at the Wilson Complex.

    Capital (11-1) won by setting the tempo and keeping the Bobcats’ conditioning and athleticism from becoming a major factor. And the Jaguars, who’ve won two tournaments and reached finals in three, showed poise in crunch time.

  • Pecos coasts past Mora in Tri-...

    Beating three opponents by an average of 36 points a game, the Pecos Panthers didn’t just win the Tri-Cities Tournament over the weekend in Mora.

    They served notice that they may well be the team to beat in Class 2A boys’ basketball this season.

    The coup de grace for coach Russ Gilmore’s Panthers came Saturday night against district archrival Mora. Pecos bombed the host Rangers 101-62 in the tourney’s title game. Darren DeHerrera (25) Brandon Quintana (24) and John Vigil (22) combined for 71 points.

  • Penn State tops list of stories

    By Rachel Cohen
    AP Sports Writer

    NEW YORK — The Penn State child sex abuse scandal was selected as the sports story of the year by U.S. editors and news directors in an annual vote conducted by The Associated Press.
    The news broke in November 2011, with a grand jury report outlining charges against Jerry Sandusky, and the outrage that followed led to the firing of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno. But the aftershocks were felt long into 2012: Sandusky was convicted in June of assaulting 10 boys, and the NCAA handed down brutal sanctions in July.

  • Olympians Phelps, Douglas shined

    By Paul Newberry
    AP National Writer
    Now that he’s away from the pool, Michael Phelps can reflect — really reflect — on what he accomplished.
    Pretty amazing stuff.
    “It’s kind of nuts to think about everything I’ve gone through,” Phelps said. “I’ve finally had time to myself, to sit back and say, ‘... that really happened?’ It’s kind of shocking at times.”
