As a team, Los Osos (18-11) shot 54 percent from the field – including 42 percent from 3-point range – to give the Baseline League its first victory of the postseason. Three league teams were swept out of the playoffs in Wednesday’s wild-card round. “Our goal was to have fun, because when we go out and have fun, we can’t be stopped,” Richard said. “I feel like we’re on a mission, like we’re going to really go far in this tournament.” Los Osos, the No. 15 seed, will advance to play either wild-card entry Beverly Hills or No. 1 seed Redondo Union on Tuesday at a yet-to-be-determined site. Diamond Bar (16-12) won’t get that chance. After finishing third in the Sierra League, the Brahmas entered the postseason hoping to pull an upset or two and see where it got them. “If we can get our bigs involved in the game by giving them touches, it opens everything else up for us,” Smith said. Six-foot-9 seniors Jordan Richard and Cameron Khoury combined for 29 points and 27 rebounds to dominate the inside game and Mide Osifeso scored a game-high 20 points mostly on the strength of his outside shooting. “We were our own worst enemies at times,” coach J.T. Cameron said. “We couldn’t get our of our own way.” The Brahmas aimed to stop Los Osos from getting dribble penetration, and found occasional success. But even when they played good defense, an untimely turnover seemed to doom their efforts. Trailing by 11 at the half and by 20 just seconds into the fourth quarter, Diamond Bar still felt it had a chance until leading scorer Victor Lee got his fifth foul with 5:06 remaining. Lee led the Brahmas with 19 points, with Elijah York (17 points) and Alan Jones (16) also reaching double digits. DIVISION I-A Chino Hills 76, Riverside J.W. North 62 Cory Harkey scored 27 points with 13 rebounds as Chino Hills proved to be the better Huskies (22-6) against visiting J.W. North. Nick Turner scored 24 points for Chino Hills, which advances to the second round for the second year in a row. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA – It’s been a continuing theme for coach David Smith and the Los Osos boys basketball team: if the Grizzlies’ big men play big, they’re a tough team to beat. Los Osos got one of those big performances on Thursday night, and it resulted in a 74-64 victory against visiting Diamond Bar in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division I-A playoffs. 
TERRORISM: His message is anti-capitalism, and he tells Americans to convert to Islam. By Lee Keath THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt – Osama bin Laden’s first appearance in three years in a new videotape has U.S. counterterrorism officials and experts poring over the details for clues to his health and hints of new threats. “He wants to demonstrate that he is alive and well and dispel any rumors that he may have died and is ill,” said Mark Ensalaco, a terrorism expert at the University of Dayton. “His voice is the adrenaline of the mujahedeen; he wants a propaganda victory. He is trying to say: `You have not defeated me. I am winning. You are losing in Iraq, and my appearance is proof of my victory,”‘ Ensalaco told The Associated Press. The video appeared to have been recently made. Bin Laden seems up to date on current events, mentioning global warming and Americans’ mortgage woes. The United States intercepted the video before it was released on Islamic Web sites where al-Qaida usually posts its messages, a U.S. counterterrorism official said. Intelligence agencies had studied the video for hours before transcripts and videos were leaked, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Analysts were studying bin Laden’s physical characteristics for clues about his health after unconfirmed rumors earlier this year that he had died of kidney disease, the official said. In the video, the 50-year-old bin Laden speaks softly, as he usually does. His trimmed beard is shorter than in his last video, in 2004, and is fully black – apparently dyed, since in past videos it was mostly gray. Bin Laden is believed to have avoided appearing in videos for security reasons. He has not released new footage since October 2004, and he had not put out an audiotape in more than a year, his longest period without a message. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set!In the 26-minute video released Friday, bin Laden gives no easy answers. His voice is soft but firm. He has bags under his eyes, but his appearance dissolved rumors that he had died. Instead of threatening attacks, he delivers a bitter lecture to the U.S. public. He derides President Bush, tells Americans the Iraq war has failed and urges them to turn away from capitalism and democracy and convert to Islam. “It’s important that we show resolve and determination to protect ourselves, deny al-Qaida safe havens,” Bush said while in Australia for a summit of Pacific Rim nations. Bin Laden’s emergence near the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks was calculated to make a splash, underlining the American failure to catch him at a time when experts say al-Qaida’s top leadership is regrouping in the lawless Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.

AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREBlues bury Kings early with four first-period goals The bill includes $545,000 to widen Rancho Vista Boulevard to six lanes from Fairway Drive to 30th Street East. The project includes a major reworking of the intersection with Sierra Highway to ease rush-hour congestion for workers heading in and out of Air Force Plant 42. More than 6,500 workers now travel along Rancho Vista and Avenue M to jobs at Lockheed Martin’s Plant 10 and the neighboring Air Force Plant 42. The bill includes $250,000 for a $10.5 million city of Lancaster project to build a baseball complex at the former fairgrounds. The complex will not only accommodate local sports programs, but also will be available for tournaments much in the same way the city uses its soccer and softball fields to attract tournaments and sports tourism dollars. Grading work for the complex is wrapping up and the city has bids out for the first phase of development. “Phase 1 will be the basic improvements to 10 fields, some concrete walkways and fencing,” said Lyle Norton, city director of parks, recreation and arts. The funding included in the bill for the complex will likely go toward the next phase of development. Eventually the city wants to have 13 ballfields, permanent concession stands and restroom buildings, lighting and a batting cage. The bill includes $100,000 for the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club for a new roof and a heating and air-conditioning system. The club operates out of the former watch-and-wager building at the old fairgrounds on Division Street near Avenue I. The building has a set of old swamp coolers now, which have become a nesting place for birds. To winterize the coolers, a Boy Scout wrapped the coolers with vinyl donated from a billboard company to keep cold air from flowing into the building, said Laura Setzer, the club’s director of development. “I can’t tell you how much this means for the kids,” Setzer said of the funding. The club provides services on a daily basis to approximately 500 children between the ages of 6 and 17. Those services include homework help, tutoring and mentoring programs in addition to social and recreational activities. Although it’s not in the Antelope Valley, another project of interest to north Los Angeles County residents also received funding. The bill also includes $1 million for the Cross Valley Connector transportation project that will connect Interstate 5 and the Antelope Valley Freeway. The Cross Valley Connector will consist of 8.5 miles of new six- and eight-lane arterial roadways, bridges, grade-separated crossings and intersections. The project is expected to significantly ease traffic in and around the Santa Clarita Valley.

PALMDALE – Congress has approved funding for a major intersection project, a baseball field complex, and a new roof and heating system for the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club. The Senate and House of Representatives agreed last week to fund the projects in their conference report for the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Judiciary and District of Columbia Appropriations Act. The conference report is the result of negotiations between the two bodies in which differences in their bills are ironed out. The conference report was approved by the House and awaits a vote by the Senate before going to President George W. Bush sign. “I am pleased that the Appropriations Committee saw the vital need in funding these important projects,” said U.S. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Santa Clarita, whose district includes the Antelope Valley.
