The fan madness that follo wed
the Chino Hills basketball team last
season duringa 35-0 run is back.
More than three hours before the
Huskies’ home opener Tuesday
night, peoplewere lining up with
foldingchairs to wait for ticketsto
be sold for a Baseline Leagueopener
against15-1 LaVerne Damien.
The gym seats1,300, and it was
filled to capacity. A camera crew
followed around Chino Hills players.
LaVar Ball, father of the Ball broth-
ers, sat in the front row beamingand
holdingcourt.
By game’s end,after Chino Hills
cameaway witha119-84 victory to
improve to17-0 and win its52nd
consecutive game, itwas clear this
show is picking up steamwith no
sign it’s going to end any time soon.
LaMelo Ball, Chino Hills’15-year-
old sophomore guard, who has
grown five inches since last season,
scored33 points, makingfive three-
pointers and demonstratinga new
skill in bein g ableto aggressively
drive to the basketand scor e in
traffic with his improving strength.
“It’s my dad,” he said. “He’s got
me onweights.”
LiAngelo Ball scored 24 points
and Eli Scott added21, including a
series of fan-pleasingdunks.
First-year Coach Stephan Gilling
believes this team can be better than
last season’s unbeatengroup be-
cause it has more deptheven though

Lonzo Ball has moved on to UCLA. Chino Hills unveiled a new con- tributor, Long Beach Millikan trans- fer Ofure Ujadughele. He scored10 pointsand providedevidencethat the Huskies might have better depth when they have to face the likes of Chatsworth Sierra Canyon or Torrance BishopMontgomery in the Southern Section Open Division playoffs. Cameron Shelton, whowas a reserve for Chino Hills last season, scored32 points for Damien.Coach Mike LeDuc decided to have his team run withthe Huskiesbut it couldn’t keep up. Damien trailed, 66-42, at halftime. “They’re diffe rent because their best player is gone, but it doesn’t mean they’re not ridiculouslygood,” LeDuc said.“They’ve got four players who’ve gotten bigger, stronger and better.” About theonly bad news for Chino Hillswas that Andre Ball, a cousinofthethreebrothers,injured his shoulder andLiAngelo Ball sprained hisankle. Itremainsto be seen if they’ll be available for a Fri- day game against Etiwanda. But have no fear, Chino Hills fans. “We put on a show every night,” Gilling said.

He has noexperience as a head coach or coordinator, but Mike Vra- bel is among assistants the Rams will interview thisweek in their search for a head coach. Vrabel,41, has been the Houston Texans’ linebackerscoach for three seasons. An All-American at Ohio State,heplayedlinebackerfor 14 seasons in the NFL andwon three SuperBowltitleswiththeNewEng- land Patriots. Vrabelreportedly turned down an offer to become the San Fran- cisco 49ers defensive coordinator before last season. “Great footballcoach,”Texans

Coach Bill O'Brientold the Hous- ton Chronicle when asked about the Rams’ interest in Vrabel. “Com- municateswell, very knowledge- able of thegame.” With the worst offense in the leaguethe lasttwo seasons, the Ramsare thought to favor a coach who can help ignite that element and develop quarterback Jared Goff through theirexperience or with staff theywould hire. KevinDemoff,thevicepresident of football operations, has said the team would not limit its search to offense-minded coaches in the quest to find the bestfit. Vrabel is among several candi- dates with defense backgrounds. Carolina secondary coach Steve Wilks andNew England defensive coordinatorMatt Patricia have interviewed with the Rams. Miami defensive coordinator VanceJo- seph isexpected to be i nterviewed thisweek. Joseph interviewed Tuesday

withtheDenverBroncosandalsois scheduledto interviewwiththeSan Diego Chargers. “We enjoyed visiting withVance Joseph at our facility today,” Bron- cos GeneralManagerJohn Elway tweeted Tuesday. “He has great leadership qualitiesandastrongvi- sion of what it takesto win.” Elway alsotweeted after inter- views lastweek with Kansas City special-teams coordinator Dave Toub and Atlanta offensivecoordi- natorKyle Shanahan. The Rams are scheduled to speak with Shanahanon Sunday, thedayaftertheFalconsplaythe Seattle Seahawks in a divisional playoffgame at Atlanta. The Ramscould have a second interview this week, withWashing- ton offensive coordinator SeanMc- Vay, who inte rviewed Monday with the 49ers.

in Carson backed by the Chargers and Raiders. As part of the agree- ment, the Chargers receiveda one- year option to join the Rams in Los Angeles— an option that willroll over to the Raiders if the Chargers choose notto act on it. The Chargers spent the better partofthelastyearpursuinga$1.2- billion stadium in downtown San Diego requiring $550 million in public moneygenerated by an in- creased hoteltax. That ballot ini- tiative neededtwo-thirds approval at the polls,but receivedonly 43% in November. The Raiders are not anticipat- ing owners willvote on Las Vegas until the annualMarch meetings, at the earliest. Theywould need at leas t 24 votes of owners for permis- sionto move, unless theywere to act on the one- year LosAngeles option in theevent the Chargers did not. Las Vegas is expectedto be the primary focus of Wednesday’s meeting. Neither Chargers owner Dean Spanos nor hisrepresentatives planto attend. His club doesn’t need league approval to relocate to Los Angeles, already havingob- tained thata year ago.

By all appearances, the Char- gers’ future in their current market is bleak. Any public money in San Diego would require a vote, and almost certainlyone thatwouldn’t take place untilNovember 2018. With that uncertainty, the Char- gers would bea lameduc k for two more seasons. Meanwhile, the NFL is dealing with the falloutfrom the Rams’ leaving the St. Louis market, and could soon be facing similar situa- tions with San Diego and Oakland. Thejury is out onhow L.A. is em- bracing oneteam, let alonetwo, so many people in the league are cir- cumspectabout addinga seco nd franchiseto the market. What’s more, fortwo decades the league has used Los Angelesas athreatto get st adiumdeal s done in othercities. If there werea va- cancy ata two-team stadium in In- glewood, that almost certainly would be used as leverage for years to come. Big questionsremain about whether the NFL cando enough to close the fundinggap for a San Di- ego stadiumand thereby convince Spanostostay.AspartoftheRams deal, the league pledged anextra $100 milliontoward future stadium deals in both Oaklandand San Di-

ego, should thoseteamsremain in their markets. That is in addition to the $200-million loan the league alreadywould becontributingto a new stadium. Some in the league have sug- gestedthat if the Raiders are ulti- mately headed forLas Vegas, the $100 million earmarked for an Oak- land stadiumcould be rero utedto San Diego. Another suggestion is that Kroenke, who is already paying a relocation fee of $550 millionto $650 million (depending on how it’s financed), could write a big check to keep Spanos in San Diego. How- ever, it’s unclear where thatwould end, because Kroenke might be forcedto write the same kindof check to Raiders owner Mark Davis, or any otherowner who might lookto move to Los Angeles down theroad. There is a possibility the league could exte nd the deadline for the option,givingSpanosmoretimeto decide, but that is seen in league circlesasremoteandnotnecessar- ily helpful.

Chargers, Raiders topics of discussion

[NFL,fromD1]

Amonth after theterms were
initially agreed upon, the Dod-
gers formallyannounceda five-
year, $80-millioncontract with
closerKenley Jansenon Tues-
day afternoon.
Jansen had embarked on his
honeymoon shortly after the two
sidesreacheda deal.
Theteamisexpectedto holda
newsconferencewithJansenand
third basemanJustinTurneron
Wednesdayat Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers have spent $192 mil-
lion this winter oncontracts for
Jansen,Turnerand pitcherRich
Hill.Jansencan opt out of his
deal after 2019.
By re-signing the trio in De-
cember, the Dodgers accom-
plisheda significant amount of
their off-season shopping. But
the club still desiresa seco nd
baseman, in additionto relief
pitchers.
For weeks, the Dodgers have
haggledwithMinnesotaoversec-
ond basemanBrian Dozier,ac-
cording to people familiar with
the situation.TheDodgersap-
pea r willingto part withtop
pitching prospectJose DeLeon,
but theTwins seeka larger pack-
age, and the Dodgers lack inter-
est in dealing prospects like first
basemanCody Bellinger and
outfielderAlex Verdugo.
Fox Sportsreported Tuesday
that the two sides have reached
an “impasse.” If the discussions
remain stalled, the Dodgers
could pivotto other infielders,
like Detroit’s Ian Kinsler or
Tampa Bay’sLoganForsythe.
