High school basketball: High-scoring Ladine leads Burton - SFGate

Clayton Ladine ’s basketball dreams were shattering last spring. Only months after a disappointing junior varsity season at Riordan High — where he had been demoted from starter to reserve — he was told he hadn’t been chosen to play on an AAU team. “The next morning I remember watching reruns of 'The Office,’ my favorite show,” Clayton said. In one season, the floppy-haired 6-foot-1 junior guard has gone from JV backup and AAU castoff to being the state’s leading scorer — and No. 3 in the nation — at 37. 8 points per game for Burton. He’s scored at least 40 points a dozen times, more than 50 three times, including a season-opening 51 against Lincoln, and a career-high 63 versus Jordan on Jan. His scoring average is the highest in Bay Area history, according to Cal-Hi Sports, surpassing the 36. 7 by the late Winters Patterson (Balboa) in 1996. The state record is 45. 7 by Mike Fisher of Southwestern-San Marino (Los Angeles County) in... The Pumas, 1-18 last season, are 18-7 this season and went 10-0 to win the Academic Athletic Association ’s Division II championship. They open the San Francisco Section playoffs Friday at Washington (24-6) at 5:30 p. m. “It’s been a perfect storm of events,” Ladine said. But the fact that his dad, Clint, is coaching Burton may be most important. The Pumas average a state-best 85. 7 points per game. Source: www.sfgate.com

Peugeot Citroen Could Return To The U.S. In The Early 2020s - The Car Connection

Younger readers may not remember it, but just over 20 years ago, you could buy a Peugeot in the U. S. A. Even older folks could be forgiven for forgetting that 40 years ago, Citroens were sold here, too. Peugeot officially bailed on the U. S. in 1991. Citroen left in 1974. But according to Auto News , their parent company, PSA Peugeot Citroen, could be planning a return to these shores via the relatively new DS sub-brand. The original DS was one of Citroen's most popular and distinctive models, with production spanning from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. In 2010, the company revived the DS, and while we weren't especially thrilled with the model's 21st century update, shoppers in Europe and China were. In fact, PSA Peugeot Citroen was so pleased with the results that it created a luxury sub-brand of DS vehicles, which has since sold 500,000 units. At the current Paris Auto Show, But perhaps most importantly, he'll have to gauge America's interest in the admittedly quirky-looking DS. The brand's overarching silhouette echoes that of the original DS, including a long hood and a cabin placed... Source: www.thecarconnection.com

Folsom QB leads team against De La Salle - San Francisco Chronicle

An innocuous brown storage box sits in the corner of the Browning family garage with various press clippings, awards and keepsakes. "I haven't looked in there lately," Jake Browning said. The shaggy-haired, low-key 6-foot-2 1/2, 193-pound Folsom High quarterback dropped the Gatorade State Player of the Year plaque in the box last week around the time he broke his own state single-season record for passing yards, which now stands at... If he and Folsom (14-0) beat De La Salle-Concord in Saturday's 7:30 p. m. Northern California Open Division final at Diablo Valley College, he probably won't have to wait until his senior year to break them. Then again, the Spartans haven't lost to a Northern California opponent since 1991 - a span of 249 games - and have won 39 straight overall. "He's special," said then-De La Salle head coach Bob Ladouceur after the Spartans handed previously-unbeaten Folsom a 49-15 defeat in last year's Open Division final at Sacramento State. Browning, whose father Ed played quarterback for Oregon State in the early '90s, is an inch taller, 30 pounds bigger and at least a step faster since that defeat. Under former Cal quarterback Troy Taylor's innovative spread attack, Browning is also another season more refined. "He was already a great quarterback but you can see his maturity, especially in the pocket," De La Salle defensive coordinator Terry Eidson said. Source: www.sfgate.com
