Opinion: Save guns until 21. Save lives.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:51:25 GMT

“Coming of age.” There is a reason we immediately understand the meaning of this phrase. Common sense, plus our memories of high school, remind us that some experiences are better reserved for later in life. We already prevent youth from buying and possessing alcohol and tobacco until age 21 because these restrictions save lives. Similarly,  allowing youth to buy and possess guns at the age of 18 takes lives.Why make this call? We see solid research about the delayed development of the human brain, particularly in areas that may alter a person’s likelihood of involvement in violence against themselves or others.Tragically, this research has been validated right here in Denver in two recent incidents:First, on Feb. 13, East High School soccer player Luis Garcia, 16, was shot while sitting in his car outside the high school. He died of his wounds on March 1. Other teenagers are suspected of being the killers, although no charges have been filed.Second, less than six weeks ...

Softball roundup: Pinole Valley stays perfect as Kailani Tatro strikes out 11

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:51:25 GMT

LAFAYETTE – Kailani Tatro struck out 11 batters, gave up just three hits, and finished the complete game with her and Pinole Valley’s 10th victory of the year.And somehow, the 5-2 victory over Acalanes could still be considered an “off game.”That’s how dominant Tatro, a senior pitcher with a knack for locating offspeed pitches, has been for the Spartans.“When I’m in the game, and my arm starts feeling tired, I just take a deep breath and rely on my spin,” Tatro said. “That’s what gets me through all the games.”It took until her 56th inning of the season for Tatro to surrender an earned run, the bottom of the sixth in Friday night’s cold and windy contest in Lafayette.LAFAYETTE – Acalanes infielder Hailey Stripling handles a ground ball.

“That was a great moment” — Mitty beats Bellarmine on Tanner Kern’s walk-off double in extra innings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:51:25 GMT

SAN JOSE — Tanner Kern was Archbishop Mitty’s last hope when he stepped into the batter’s box with two outs in extra innings Friday, his team trailing by a run on a blustery and cool spring afternoon.It certainly was not a time for the faint of heart, on either side, as the tying run stood at third, the winning run at second.At the plate was the left-handed-hitting Kern, who had just 10 plate appearances this season, the most recent as a pinch hitter an inning earlier.“I was just trying to help my team in the best way,” Kern said. “It just came out well. I just stuck with the Mitty approach and just did what I did.”What the junior did was hit a flyball toward the alley in left-center that dropped in for a double, knocking in both runners to lift Mitty — ranked No. 1 by the Bay Area News Group — to a 3-2, eight-inning victory over fourth-ranked Bellarmine in West Catholic Athletic League play.Mitty players spilled out of the dugou...

Warriors rally back from 11 down, beat Embiid, 76ers 120-112

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:51:25 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jordan Poole emerged as one of Golden State’s most dependable performers during the championship run last season.He resembled that go-to guy once again Friday night when the Warriors needed everything he had, with the ever-reliable Draymond Green doing his thing, too.“Opportunity,” Poole said of his stellar fourth quarter playing all 12 minutes.Poole scored 33 points and swished a key 3-pointer with 1:18 to play off a pretty pass by Green, Stephen Curry added 29 points and eight rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors rallied past Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers 120-112 on Friday night.“Tonight something about it felt like last year in that playoff run when Jordan was just attacking and knocking down shots but also getting to the line just giving us an entirely different dimension offensively,” coach Steve Kerr said. “That’s when he’s at his best. I thought he really competed down the stretch defensively as well. He was magnificent tonight.”Embiid c...
