It's March and the madness has already begun. Whether it be spring training for baseball, the road to the playoffs for the NBA, or the "big dance" for college basketball sports fans across the nation can feel the excitement.
The hot topic around sports right now is basketball. The top sports story reported by the LA Times was the Lakers' disappointing loss to the 76ers. The gave a look into how the Lakers, arguably the best team in the league, are now in second place standings-wise. It also highlights how the Lakers are "lose-the-lead" team meaning that they build a large lead early and tend to lose that lead at the end of the game. The Lakers have a few points to improve on if they want to stay on top and win a championship.
Continuing on the topic of top teams in basketball, the OC Register goes away from the popular college and professional basketball stories and focuses on the high school teams that are topping state rankings. The high school rankings are shaken up due to No. 1 seeds losing recent games.
Finally, ESPN's top story on California sports diverts its attention from basketball but turns to the media frenzy surrounding updates with Manny Ramirez of the LA Dodgers. Although Manny Ramirez suffered a minor injury during his first days of spring training this story covered him having a good time trying his hand at cricket. Not much to this story but a comical relief from the intensity that accompanies Manny's every move.
