Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals was a remarkable night for the Orlando Magic. Orlando had its most complete offensive effort of the series, with 52.2 percent shooting from the field. Dwight Howard was terrific at both ends with 21 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks and two steals. Jameer Nelson had his second consecutive quality game with 24 points. Now add in 14 points apiece from J.J. Redick and Rashard Lewis, and that just made the Magic unstoppable.

On Tuesday, James Logan's Varsity Girls Softball team beat Washington 4-2 on the night the team honored its seniors.
The epic senior night consisted of energy, sweat, and most of all spirit. Team captain Jackie Campa claimed the night was “intense” and was “surprised at Washington’s competition.” However, despite the Huskies urge to win, Logan bounced on top with seven hits and four runs. One could say that the Colt’s home advantage boosted their will to win.

A long, ghastly nightmare. That's how we Bay Area devotees of the Raiders regard the 13 years our nomadic football team wasted away in Los Angeles.
Ah, but for hip-hop artist and filmmaker Ice Cube, those were the glory days — a period in which he not only formed a lasting bond with the Raiders, but also helped to make the silver and black culturally viable to a new generation and demographic.

Much to the dismay of the seniors, the junior powder puff team won the game on April 16th. But it wasn’t clear who the actual winner was right after the fourth quarter ended. That’s when the controversy started.
After the juniors scored their winning touchdown, two different calls were made by the referees. Coach George Zuber, who was on the senior side of the sideline, said that the touchdown didn’t count. Chelsea Salom had her flags pulled off by Leslie Espinoza. The other referee, who was standing on the opposite sideline, said that the ball had indeed crossed over into the end zone. There was so much commotion on the field at the time of the call that both the junior and senior teams were on the field celebrating. After deliberation between the two referees, Zuber changed his call.
