SportsUAB Faculty Senate to weigh no-confidence vote
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The UAB Faculty Senate is considering taking a no-confidence vote on President Ray Watts in the wake of his decision to drop football.
Faculty Senate chair Chad Epps said members voted by two-thirds majority while in executive session Tuesday to submit two possible resolutions to faculty members and will reconvene in January after receiving feedback. Epps said the first resolution would “support athletics and require a transparent reassessment of all athlet-ics.” The second alternative would be a no-confidence vote in Watts.
“There’s a lot of concern that the president didn’t involve other constituents in the decision, and we want to make sure we don’t do the same thing,” Epps said. “We want to make sure we’re very clear on where our constituents lie, and that is the faculty.
“That’s why we think it’s important that we wait.”
Pavelski leads Sharks to win over Oilers
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Joe Pavelski scored two goals and the San Jose Sharks bounced back from a loss at Edmonton by beating the Oilers 5-2 in the back end of a home-and-home set Tuesday night.
Barclay Goodrow, Logan Couture and Brent Burns also scored for the Sharks, who have won five of six with the only loss com-ing on Sunday night in Edmonton to the worst team in the Western Conference.
Kobe leads Lakers comeback vs. Kings
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant scored nine of his 32 points in the final 3:14, lead-ing the Los Angeles Lakers’ fourth-quarter comeback for a 98-95 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.
Carlos Boozer added 15 points for the Lakers, who snapped their three-game skid by rallying from a 12-point deficit in the sec-ond half.
After Bryant tied it at 92 with a breakaway dunk and a clutch 3-pointer, Jordan Hill’s layup on a sharp pass from Bryant put the Lakers ahead 94-93 with 1:39 to play.

Second quarter costly for CHS girls
SPARKS — Take away an ugly second quarter, and the Carson High girls basketball team may have pulled off an upset of monumental proportions Tuesday night.
The Senators scored its first and only point of the second quarter 26 seconds in and went scoreless the rest of the half en route to a 59-52 loss to Reed in a Division I crossover game.
The loss dropped Carson to 3-3
overall and 0-2 in Division I play. Carson returns to action Dec. 18 at home against Spanish Springs. Reed, which played without center Naki-yah LeSure, evened its D-1 record to 1-1.
“If we play four quarters with the same intensity that we showed in the fourth quarter it would have been a different game,” Carson coach Nate Tolbert said. “We were flat and played at 3/4 speed the first half. The bottom line is if we’d played like we did in the fourth quarter it would have been a blowout win for us.
“I think our lack of intensity had something to do with that (second quarter). Even though we’re not run-ning our offense that well right now, we still got some pretty good looks. We didn’t attack the basket which is what you need to do, especially when the 3s aren’t going in. You need to make some ‘bunnies’ to get your confidence up.”
In all reality, Tolbert had to be talking more about the second quar-ter than the first. Carson, thanks to some strong work on the offensive boards by Kayla Aikins and Teresa
Boehmer, led 17-15 after the opening period. The poor second quarter forced Carson to play uphill the final three quarters, though it did have a chance to tie the game down the stretch.
Then came one of the worst quar-ters in recent memory. Carson went 0-for-14 from the floor and turned the ball over 10 times. Only Bailey Allen’s free throw, which gave Carson an 18-15 lead, saved the Senators from being blanked.

HONOR ROLL
C arson High football players — Asa Carter, Nolan Shine and Colby Brown — plus coach Blair Roman, reaped the
benefits of an undefeated Sierra League season by
walking off with top honors.
Carter, a junior safety-running back, was named Sierra League Player of the Year, Shine
was named the league’s top defensive play-er and Brown
shared co-offen-sive player of the
year honors with Damonte’s Sam Banghart. All three
also were named to the all-region squad.Roman, who guided
the Senators to a 9-3 record and a fifth league/conference
title in seven
years, was named the coach of the year. He was nosed out for region coach of the year by Hug’s Carl LaGrone, Jr.
A fourth Carson player, defensive end Brady Rivera, capped a great high school career by being named first team all-Sierra and all-region.
Carter helped Carson in all three areas — offense, defense and special teams. Offensively, he caught 14 passes for 380 yards and three scores, and rushed 54 times for 549 yards and seven scores. He also went 2-for-3 passing for 67 yards and a score. On defense, he intercepted eight passes, had 70 tackles, caused four fumbles and defensed four passes. He also did an excellent job covering kicks and blocked two punts. “I read it in the paper yester-day (Sunday),” Carter said. “I’m very happy with the way this season went. I worked very hard, and it was nice to see that pay off. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get player of the year for the region next year.”
If he puts up anywhere near the num-bers that he did this year, it will be a mere formality.
“He was a difference maker,” Roman said earlier this week. “Thinking back, without Asa as good as he was, his perfor-mance was the difference in 2-3 games.
