Breakers' Boys Basketballers are Champs Once Again

The playoff-bound team ends the regular season at 21-6, undefeated in league play.

Posted by Rich Kane (Editor), February 8, 2013 at 08:02 pm

The Laguna Beach High Breakers' boys' basketball squad won their seventh straight Orange Coast League championship Thursday night at Dugger Gym, trouncing Costa Mesa by a final score of 62-33.

The team went undefeated through league play, going 10-0, the first LBHS squad since 1953 to hit that monumental mark, and only the third undefeated league championship in school hoops history. Their overall record this season is 21-6.

The Breakers move on to the playoffs next.

Letter: Who'll Speak for the Laguna Beach Trees?

There is certainly a case, Rich, for buckling sidewalks and safety (which is what City Council…Read More claimed...along with a $300,000. payout for slip and falls over the past 5 years.) That being said, there are other far less drastic measures that could (and should have been taken years ago). The ficus trees in front of the old persian rug store were not a mistake, they were a request by the new tenants who are trying to "historically" recreate the old building. I'd like to know what trees were "historically" there. They certainly were not New Zealand Christmas trees ( the City's planned on replacement tree.) I object to the City selecting the trees, as there seems to be a "patchwork quilt" effect that is happening. Just like the main entrance to Laguna, we need a new, well thought-out, hammered out tree plan. We also need the City to fund and maintain our trees, which has been sorely lacking (due to budget and lack of any importance being placed on them). I wonder what else we're going to find out re: what other payouts we've been making for other things. (For instance, how much have we paid out for people being hit in the crosswalks? I'll bet that it's a lot more than $300k in 5 years. If not, I'd be pleasantly surprised. ) Perhaps our City officials should be more up front with us about this kind of information, as well as about budget matters. That transparency seems to be missing in the last year or two. If I'm not mistaken, the $ in our capital budget for improving and repair/replacing some of the street end banisters is being re-routed for the beginning funding of the parking garage on Broadway and Forest. Know that more trees are in peril, so, in addition to blogging, everyone please take a moment to express your concerns to each of our council members and our city manager via e-mail or personally. They don't even seem to think that these tree removals deserve to be on the City Council Meeting Agendas (or at least not until the 12th hour). Thanks.

We're not discussing mediumship; we're discussing bad journalism. Rich doesn't seem to understand why I think what he wrote is unfair. I guess it's his prejudice against the subjects that is blinding him. If an Orange County surgeon left a scalpel in a patient's body, would he write an article about that surgeon and start off by saying: "Well, it's been a bad week for surgeons."?

It's heartening to hear so many concerned and fiscally responsible Lagunans. I, too, am concerned…Read More and would like more time and information before agreeing to dig. Did you know that Councilwoman Iseman has an alternate plan, using the tennis courts as part of the parking. Instead of a 29' parking structure hers would be an 18'foot structure, with additional parking across PCh at the tennis courts. I want to hear more about her plan before committing $38 million+ to this project. As we speak, the 10-year capital plan is being revised to accomodate $5 million for the next 2 years for this project. I would like to know what is being wait-listed for this project. Who suddenly deemed this Laguna's #1 concern? I urge everyone to immediately: 1) go to the next City Council meeting and voice your concerns and 2) e-mail each and every council member and our city manager. Be heard. No offense, but I want more than our Council and City Manager determining such life-changing moves in Laguna. Remember-they are constrained by governmental constrictions (eg: the low-bidder on projects). We have a superior community and deserve top notch planners, builders, etc. As for the people in town, I totally commiserate. However, know that the next 3-5 years will be an absolute nightmare with this work. One of our biggest parking problems nowadays is construction vehicles and also construction workers own private vehicle parking.

Laguna Streets April 9, 2013 at 01:50 am

Mark: There are dozens of alternatives to the automobile, you can find some of them posted at…Read More LagunaStreets. There are even more outside the bubble of Laguna, municipalities are adopting alternative mobility plans all over the US and Europe. The resistance to alternative mobility comes from city hall, from community leaders who stubbornly refuse to consider new ideas and acknowledge success in other communities. They don't even listen to professional advice they paid for. I parked my car in the garage in 2006, have not driven it since. I live and work in Laguna and live on "top of the hill", I regularly reach any point in Laguna - most frequently by bicycle, often by scooter or bus. The health benefit from riding a bicycle around Laguna should be obvious.
