Medfield clamps down on Norwood

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:28:55 GMT

NORWOOD – In a matchup between two of the top girls’ basketball programs in the Tri-Valley League, Medfield showed why the hype is warranted.In a gritty defensive effort, the Warriors limited the Norwood offense to less than 10 points in each of the four quarters en route to a 52-25 win. Medfield was able to exceed 10 points in each quarter, but head coach Mark Nickerson said the strong play on the defensive end of the court was what drove the offensive output.“We defended well, we clogged the paint,” Nickerson said. “We did a great job defending perimeter shots while staying inside, not giving up open lanes to the hoop. Our guards worked really hard at the top, it was a great rotation with great communication.”That doesn’t mean the game was free of adversity for the Warriors, however. Freshman guard Naya Annigeri had a strong start in the opening quarter, scoring five points and helping Medfield jump out to a sizeable lead. However, a scrum for a loose ball resulted in a mout...

SAN DIEGO -- The city councilmember who represents downtown San Diego spoke Friday on progress being made to decrease homelessness there, along with the work that still needs to be done.“The final end-of-year count for 2023 shows significantly fewer people experiencing unsheltered homelessness downtown than there were a year ago,” said District 3 Councilmember Stephen Whitburn.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Underwater dump sites off the Los Angeles coast contain thousands of barrels of World War II-era munitions including anti-submarine weapons and smoke devices, marine researchers announced Friday.A vast survey of known offshore sites in April identified the munitions. The survey was a high-tech follow up in a region known to have been the dumping ground for industrial and chemical waste from the 1930s through the 1970s.Two underwater vehicles, one autonomous and the other remotely controlled, used sonar and high definition video to scan 135 square miles (350 square kilometers) of the sea floor, where mysterious boxes and barrels were strung out between the mainland and Santa Catalina Island, researchers said.A 2021 survey had uncovered more than 25,000 “barrel-like objects” on the sea floor that possibly contained DDT and other toxic chemicals. High levels of the toxic chemical were previously found in sediments and marine mammals in the region, and DDT has been li...
