About 11 p.m. Thursday, Costa Mesa police Sgt. Pat Wessel and Officer Jason Chamness eyed two teens skateboarding down the alley that borders the Placentia Avenue fire station on the Westside. As the officers pulled up, the smell of pot emanated from the area, indicating the teens may have been getting into trouble. Police found a blue, prescription-style bottle containing marijuana in one of the youth's backpacks. They also learned one of the skaters was 17 and out past curfew. Officer David Sevilla phoned the boy's mom, notifying her of the location where she could pick up her son, before taking him to a drop-off point in Orange.

LOS ANGELES - Thundering chants of U-C-I and B-Y-U perhaps might have faded under a more resonant echoes of Dy-Nas-Ty Saturday night as the UC Irvine men's volleyball team earned its second straight NCAA championship and its fourth in seven seasons. The No. 2-seeded Anteaters (25-7), who had lost their first two meetings to the top-seeded Cougars (26-5) this season, exploded for a 25-23, 25-22, 26-24 victory in the title match in front of 6,295 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, as well as a national television audience on ESPNU.

LOS ANGELES - Loyola of Chicago was the first first-time participant in the four-team NCAA men's volleyball championship since UC Irvine had that distinction in 2006. A lot has obviously changed for the Anteaters since that time, as they moved within one victory of their fourth national championship with a 26-24, 25-18, 29-27 semifinal win over the upstart Ramblers on Thursday at Pauley Pavilion. No. 2-seeded UCI (24-7) looked every bit the perennial power on Thursday, hitting .500 as a team for only the second time this season and bearing down late in the first and third sets to complete their fifth sweep in their last seven matches and win their fourth straight NCAA semifinal.

COSTA MESA - At the end of the sixth inning, the Costa Mesa High softball team gathered near the dugout and yelled, "Estancia!" The players then lined up to slap hands with rival Estancia. The Mustangs believed Thursday's Orange Coast League home game was over. It wasn't, but it might as well have been. The teams played one more inning, going the normal seven. The Eagles added three runs to their 23-12 rout, helping them sweep the Battle for the Bell series against Costa Mesa for the second straight year.

NEWPORT BEACH - The Battle of the Bay swim meet always seems to come down to the meet-ending 400-yard freestyle relay on the girls' side. In 2011, Newport Harbor won it to forge a tie. Last year, CdM won the race to edge out a victory. In a way, it again came down to the last race Thursday at Newport Harbor High. The Sailors girls needed to finish first and second in that relay to win the meet. CdM Coach Doug Volding knew that wasn't about to happen. Instead, the opposite was true.

IRVINE — Junior outside hitter Joey Martino recorded 10 kills on Tuesday, helping the Corona del Mar High boys' volleyball team sweep Woodbridge, 25-17, 25-10, 25-20, and clinch at least a share of the Pacific Coast League title. The Sea Kings (16-9, 8-0 in league) have won 11 straight league championships and 14 of their last 15. Augie Miller had seven kills and one block for CdM. Kevin Fults finished with five kills and two blocks. The Sea Kings play host to Beckman Friday at 5:15 p.m. * BOYS' TRACK AND FIELD Mt.

COSTA MESA — The Estancia High baseball team rang up its opponent well before the actual bell on the Paul Troxel Trophy at home plate. In three games against rival Costa Mesa this season, the Eagles pounded out 38 hits and 36 runs. They produced their latest runs under the lights at TeWinkle Park on Wednesday, and their bats shined bright in a 12-0 rout of the Mustangs. Estancia swept the three-game series against the Mustangs and beat them for the 10th straight time. The Battle for the Bell is Estancia's for the fourth straight season and three of those have been clean sweeps.

COSTA MESA - Spring break is this week for Costa Mesa High. The boys' volleyball team doesn't have much time off, though. The Mustangs went to school on Monday and prepared for an upcoming Orange Coast League match. The next day, they returned to the gym to play host to their rival, Estancia. Costa Mesa senior Noah JeyaRajah said it was still a little hard getting up for the Eagles during spring break. And it showed in the first set on Tuesday, as the Eagles jumped out to a seven-point lead.

IRVINE - First-year coach David Kniffin has said all season that his UC Irvine men's volleyball team has been searching for its identity. But maybe what it needed instead was a little attitude. Playing with a revamped lineup that did not include the team's assist leader (Daniel Stork), total blocks leader (Collin Mehring) and it's No. 2 and No. 4 kill producers (Jeremy Dejno and Connor Hughes, respectively), the Anteaters swept visiting Cal State Northridge on Tuesday to close out Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play.

LOS ALAMITOS - Sunset League play resumed this week for the Newport Harbor High boys' volleyball team. Coach Steve Astor said his Sailors, who didn't play last week, haven't kicked one bad habit - starting slow. They came out sluggish at Los Alamitos on Wednesday, but for the second straight night the Sailors finished strong. Newport Harbor swept the Griffins, 25-16, 25-12, 25-18, and improved to 5-1 in league play. "I wasn't happy with how we started the match," Astor said.
