Photos: More Formula One Car Launches
January 31, 2010 by Marcus Michelson
YAKIMA, Wash. — Two more Formula One teams launched their 2010 cars this weekend: BMW Sauber (which is planning to run Ferrari engines despite the BMW in the name) and Renault (which isn’t controlled by the Renault company anymore, but is running Renault engines). It’s confusing, I know, as with all things Formula One, there are politics and backstories galore.
Here’s the new Renault with drivers Robert Kubica of Poland and Vitaly Petrov of Russia:
And the new BMW Sauber with drivers Pedro De La Rosa of Spain and Kamui Kobayashi of Japan:
A quick note about the earlier launches, the Mercedes pictured was not a new car (it was last year’s Brawn GP car) but it was the launch of the new paint and advertising scheme.
Federer wins Australian for 16th Slam title
January 31, 2010 by The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Roger Federer dismantled Andy Murray in the Australian Open final Sunday to extend his own record to 16 Grand Slam titles and prolong the British drought.
Federer collected his fourth Australian Open title with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (11) win at Rod Laver Arena that, apart from the tiebreaker, lacked the drama and raw emotion of his five-set loss here last year to then No. 1-ranked Rafael Nadal.
Last year, Federer sobbed when Rod Laver presented the winners’ trophy to Nadal, having missed a chance to equal Pete Sampras’ record 14 career majors.
This time, Murray was on the verge of tears, drawing deep breaths as he apologized for failing to end a 74-year-old drought for British men at the Grand Slam tournaments.
“Firstly, congratulations Roger, his achievements in tennis are incredible, to keep doing it year after year are pretty incredible,” the 22-year-old Scot said. “He was a lot better than me tonight.
“Hopefully, one time I can come back and win here,” he added, his voice breaking. “I got great support back home the last couple of weeks. Sorry I couldn’t do it for you tonight but …”
Murray could barely finish his thank you, explaining: “I can cry like Roger; it’s just a shame I can’t play like him.”
Federer, who had to be consoled by Nadal last year, offered Murray some reassurance.
“Well done for your incredible tournament; you played it fantastic,” Federer said. “You’re too good of a player not to win a Grand Slam, so don’t worry about it.”
Federer dropped serve only twice in the match and hit 46 winners. He said he felt as good as ever.
“I’m over the moon winning this again. I think I played some of my best tennis in my life these last two weeks,” he said.
Federer saved five set points and wasted two match points in the tiebreaker with some uncharacteristic shot selection before clinching it when Murray netted a backhand after 2 hours, 41 minutes.
Murray was desperate to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win one of the four tennis majors, but seldom had the answers to Federer’s unrivaled finals experience.
He had set a record for British men just by reaching two major finals in the Open era.
Federer was playing in his 22nd Grand Slam final and 18th of the last 19.
He also beat Murray in straight sets in the 2008 U.S. Open final, the only previous meeting between the pair at a Grand Slam.
Murray still holds a 6-5 advantage over Federer in career head-to-heads — one of only four players who can boast that — but has lost the last three.
Federer had just discovered in Melbourne last year — unknown widely at the time — that he was to be the father of twins.
The emotions bubbled over after his loss to Nadal. But he recovered from that defeat to claim his first clay court major at the French Open, completing a career Grand Slam of titles at the four majors.
He regained his Wimbledon title and then, after his twin daughters were born, reached his fourth Grand Slam final of the year at the U.S. Open, only to lose in an upset to Juan Martin del Potro.
Federer ensured no recurrence of the upset here and added the 2010 title to his wins at Melbourne Park in 2004, 2006 and ’07, becoming only the fifth man to win four Australian titles.
American Andre Agassi, who won the last of his four in 2003, was the last father to win a Grand Slam title.
“It’s also very special the first Grand Slam as a father,” Federer said as his wife, Mirka, smiled and clapped from the stands, almost crying herself. “You get the best out of me.”
Federer got on top early, breaking Murray’s opening service game when he leaped onto a second serve and fired a forehand down the line to lead 2-0.
Murray rallied immediately, breaking Federer’s serve to huge cheers from the crowd with consecutive passing shots — one which the Swiss star even had to applaud.
Federer had to save three break points in the fifth game before holding with back-to-back aces. He then broke Murray in the eighth game, lifting his intensity in perfect time so that he could serve for the set.
He had no trouble closing with a forehand winner down the line.
Federer dominated the second set after breaking Murray’s serve in the third game. The Scot did fend off seven break points across two service games to ensure Federer had to serve it out.
When Federer’s intensity dropped slightly in the third, Murray pounced. He broke in the sixth game, roaring “C’Mon” after rifling a forehand past Federer at the net.
He didn’t face a break point until he was serving to take the match into a fourth set, when Federer pounced again. He got his first break-point chance of the third set with an angled forehand service return and clinched it two points later when Murray netted a forehand.
Federer rallied from 5-2 down in the third to force the tiebreaker and, after saving three set points, missed his first chance to finish it off when his forehand just missed the line.
His unusual decision to try a drop shot at 10-9 backfired when Murray surged to the net and put a winner over Federer’s head.
After saving another set point, Federer made no mistake with the third match point.
In the mixed doubles final, Leander Paes and Cara Black beat Ekaterina Makarova and Jaroslav Levinsky 7-5, 6-3 for the Australian title. It was the second Grand Slam title for Paes and Black as a pair, following their victory at the 2008 U.S. Open.
Paes has six Grand Slam doubles titles and five Grand Slam mixed-doubles titles.
A New Day for Crusaders

Riverside Christian bounces back to beat La Salle in SunDome matchup ||
YAKIMA, Wash. — Because only hours after one disappointing loss he and his Riverside Christian teammates would be taking the court for another critical Mid-Valley 2B game, Jeremy Pynch waited only minutes before telephoning Derek Byrne.
“I told him we had to pick it up tomorrow,” Pynch said Saturday afternoon after he, Byrne and the rest of the 10th-ranked Crusaders did precisely that in a 57-30 trouncing of crosstown league rival La Salle.

“We need to win some games, get that home-court advantage. It was tough losing (Friday night to White Swan). White Swan is a tough team; La Salle is, too.”
On Saturday, though, the Lightning was no match for a Riverside Christian squad that raced out to a 6-0 lead — on a pair of long 3-pointers by Pynch — and never looked back. By halftime the Crusaders had doubled up their rivals 26-13, and Pynch and Byrne had combined for all 26 RC points.
“When I hit that first one,” Pynch said of his 24-foot bomb just 15 seconds into the game, “I started feeling lucky.”
And his coach, Bruce Siebol, started feeling much better about things.
“Especially after last night,” Siebol said. “That was an emotional game we thought we should have won, and I didn’t know what to expect today. But I was so proud of our guys — they really surprised me today.”
Pynch finished with 28 points, eight rebounds, two steals and a pair of assists, while Byrne added 14 points, five rebounds and two assists and also made four first-half steals that kept the Lightning off-balance.
With only one team advancing from district play to state tournament out of the Mid-Valley 2B, avoiding a second loss was critical to Siebol.
“In our league, 1 plays 4, 2 plays 3,” Siebol said, referring to league-placers’ seeding schedule in district play. “I don’t think any of us wants to have to go to La Salle or White Swan for that opening game.”
Siebol said he came into Saturday expecting a much closer game than what transpired. But the Crusaders’ ball-hawking defense created 22 turnovers and La Salle shot just 8-for-37 (22 percent) from the field, with only Mike McGree (12 points, nine rebounds) managing any semblance of offensive success for the Lightning.
Byrne, meanwhile, was able to avoid the foul trouble that sidelined him for much of the White Swan game.
“Derek played smart. He stayed under control,” Siebol said. We have to have him on the court to be successful.”
It also helps to have Pynch, whose 28 points were two short of his career high.
“They’re good athletes, both of them,” Siebol said. “I’m blessed to have them.”

YAKIMA, Wash. — Mitchell Zapien drove the land and elevated over the defense for a 7-footer with 1.2 seconds remaining to lift Granger to a victory over Mabton in the Rivalry Saturday finale at the SunDome. Ten seconds earlier, Mabton’s Kristian Carrasco had driven the lane and dished to Carmen Johnson for a layup and a one-point Viking lead — offsetting Zapien’s score off a Brandon Oswalt steal and assist pass moments earlier. Mabton led by seven points in the final three minutes, but Zapien and Andrew Reddout — who had missed nearly half the game with an ankle sprain — each had three-point plays to cut into the lead. Mabton had rallied from an early 19-6 lead to take the lead behind Tyler Herrera’s 24 points, including six 3-pointers. Zapien also finished with 24 points for third-ranked Granger (8-0 SCAC West, 15-0 overall). |

YAKIMA, Wash. — A fast start and big finish helped West Valley cruise past in-town rival Eisenhower. The Rams led 13-4 after the first quarter, and then, after being outscored 24-21 in the middle periods, closed out the Cadets with a 22-2 fourth quarter.

Yaks on target against Treasure Valley
January 31, 2010 by Roger Underwood
YAKIMA, Wash. — Maybe next time they’ll replace the jump ball with a starter’s pistol as the beginning point for a Yakima Valley men’s game.
Because the Yaks were clearly wearing their running shoes Saturday against Treasure Valley in Sherar Gym, blowing past the Chukars 125-91 in Eastern Region play.
YVCC’s third-ranked women, meanwhile, were similarly successful if less prolific, using 79-62 victory to complete the first half of region play 7-0 while improving to 15-4 overall.
Yakima Valley’s men, who improved to 4-3 and 10-9, wrapped up a back-to-back sweep of Blue Mountain and Treasure Valley with an eye-popping total of 239 points.
And while Friday night’s opponent was physically overmatched, the Chukars came in as an open-court juggernaut, averaging 98.8 points en route to records of 4-2 and 10-6.
“Coach told us they like to run, that they were averaging a hundred points a game,” said YVCC’s Willie Blodgett. “But we like to run, too.”
So they did.
Yakima Valley led 34-23 with 8:17 left in the first half, held a 66-37 bulge at halftime and hit the century mark with 8:15 to play.
Blodgett, continuing his improved play, led six Yaks scorers in double figures with 16 points. He was 5-for-8 from the field including 2 of 4 from 3-point range, and added three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 25 minutes.
“The thing with Willie,” coach Ray Funk said, “was at the start of the year he was sort of deferring to others and sometimes over-passing. He was being less than his total self. Now he’s gotten more comfortable, and obviously more confident.”
Starting backcourt-mate Caden Skelton, Jordan Kidd and 6-foot-10 reserve Jonathan Kirvin scored 14 points apiece, Derrick January came off the bench for 12 and Terrell Evans, another reserve, added 10 on 5-for-5 shooting.
YVCC scored 44 points off 31 Treasure Valley turnovers and connected on 11 of 22 3-pointers while shooting 58 percent from the field.
Yakima Valley’s women, with sharpshooter Nicole DeRosier picking up where she left off in the Yaks’ 119-65 vaporization of Blue Mountain, produced perhaps their best 16 minutes of the season while building a 39-15 lead.
DeRosier scored 11 of her 17 points during that span, hitting 3 long balls, and reserve Mariah Roe was active in YVCC’s 2-3 zone defense and on the boards.
“We might have gotten out of that defense a little earlier if the game had been closer,” coach Cody Butler said. “But they were running a really good zone offense, so that helped us learn.”
After Anna Marchbanks rolled up 10 of her game-high 24 points during a 5:02 portion of the second half for a 69-51 Yaks lead, Treasure Valley (4-3, 12-6) staged a 6-0 run. But Rosetta Adzasu’s putback followed by Lacie French’s basket made it 73-57 with 2:16 to play.
Adzasu finished with 12 points, four assists and five steals. Nicole Tolman led the Chukars with 20 points and 12 rebounds.
“The pieces of the puzzle are coming together,” said Roe, a 5-7 freshman from Boise, Idaho. “What we want to eventually do is put together a masterpiece, meaning an NWAACC championship.”
Yakima Valley, which hosts Wenatchee Valley on Wednesday night, has won 24 straight Eastern Region women’s games.

Sprinker, Cook, Perez lift CWU
January 31, 2010 by YH-R Sports
LACEY, Wash. — Chris Sprinker, J.C. Cook and Humberto Perez combined for 42 points and Central Washington thumped Saint Martin’s 83-68 in GNAC men’s basketball action Saturday night in Marcus Pavilion.
The victory completed a two-game road sweep for the Wildcats, who improved to 5-2 in conference play and 11-6 overall.
Sprinker had 15 points and nine rebounds, Cook came off the bench for 15 points and Perez totaled 12 points, four rebounds and three assists.
“They zoned us, they manned us and all our guys kept attacking,” CWU coach Greg Sparling said. “When they made their runs our guys didn’t panic. And we did a fabulous job on the boards.”
With Roby Clyde grabbing 13 rebounds, Central compiled a 49-29 advantage in that department. Sprinker had nine and his backup, Coby Gibler, added eight.
Cook, in his second game back from a knee injury, was 6 for 11 from the field in 21 minutes. And key reserve Toussaint Tyler, who missed Thursday night’s win at Northwest Nazarene with an ankle injury, returned for eight points, four rebounds and three assists.
“He was a little tender,” Sparling said, “but he helped us. All our guys contributed. It was just a good overall performance. People did what they needed to do.”
The Wildcats host conference-leading Seattle Pacific on Thursday night before playing their next three games on the road.
