MISSION VIEJO - When everything comes together, Corona del Mar High track and field coach Bill Sumner said this could be the best boys' team he's had in decades. "Everybody has to show up and all the cylinders have to be firing," Sumner said. "We've got about 12 boys, and they all do more than one event. If all 12 boys show up and all the pistons are firing, this is the best team I've had in about 20 years. " Keeping with the car analogy, CdM did sputter at times on Saturday at the Orange County Track & Field Championships.

Hattie Marshall remembers the day her father took her to the library. It was 12 years ago when Brian and his 6-year-old daughter went to check out a book. She doesn't remember the book she came home with that day. What she will never forget is what she picked up from the doorsteps of the library - a new sport to play. "In front of the library, there was a table for softball signups," Marshall said. "My dad asked me if I wanted to try it. It was like T-ball and it sounded fun. " Softball has been a big part of Marshall's life since that trip to the library.

When Costa Mesa National Little League's vice president started mowing an outfield lawn Wednesday, he didn't notice the aluminum skeleton sitting just outside the right field fence. A maintenance worker from nearby TeWinkle Middle School had to ask what the league had done with the 12-foot-wide bleachers before Trent Christ realized what was wrong with the picture. Someone managed to unbolt five rows of aluminum benches, floorboards, backrests, side railings and cross beams and make off with them without anyone noticing.
