Piper Laurie, cruel mom in ‘Carrie,’ dies at age 91

October 14, 2023

LOS ANGELES — Actress Piper Laurie, best known for her haunting turn as an abusively devout mother in the 1976 horror classic “Carrie,” died in Los Angeles Saturday at the age of 91, according to multiple media reports.

Laurie had been ill for some time, her manager Marion Rosenberg told reporters.

Rosenberg called her “one of the most remarkable and versatile actresses of her day, a brilliant and creative mind, and a glorious human being.”

Laurie appeared in over 100 films and television shows over her long and varied career. Many of her performances were critically praised, including her role opposite Paul Newman in 1961’s “The Hustler,” a key part in 1986’s “Children of a Lesser God,” and a recurring role in the 1990s television show “Twin Peaks.”

Many audiences know her best from “Carrie,” however. Her chilling portrayal of Margaret White, the fanatic and frighteningly overprotective mother of the shy high school student played by Sissy Spacek, gave a distinctive depth to Brian De Palma’s film of Stephen King’s novel.

Laurie was nominated for three Oscars during her career, and received Emmy nominations for “Twin Peaks” in 1990 and 1991.

Her last credit was a role as the grandmother of an FBI informant-turned drug dealer in 2018’s “White Boy Rick,” which starred Matthew McConaughey.

Germany defeats U.S. in men’s soccer exhibition as Gio Reyna returns

October 14, 2023

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Niclas Füllkrug and Jamal Musiala scored three minutes apart early in the second half, and Germany rallied to beat the United States 3-1 in an exhibition Saturday as Gio Reyna played under American coach Gregg Berhalter for the first time since their family feud erupted.

Christian Pulisic put the 11th-ranked U.S. ahead in the 27th minute, and İlkay Gündogan tied the score in the 39th. Füllkrug got the go-ahead goal in the 58th, and Musiala padded the margin in the 61st as No. 15 Germany won its first match since Julian Nagelsmann replaced Hansi Flick as coach.

Reyna, his hair newly dyed blond, played the first half in his first start since fracturing his right leg in a CONCACAF Nations League match against Canada in June. The 20-year-old midfielder had been limited since the injury to a 27-minute substitute appearance for Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Oct. 7.

Berhalter said during a management conference after the tournament that he nearly sent a player home from Qatar for lack of effort during training, remarks clearly about Reyna.

Reyna’s parents, former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and midfielder Danielle Egan, contacted the U.S. Soccer Federation about a three-decades-old domestic violence allegation involving Berhalter and the woman who later became his wife. Berhalter was replaced by a pair of interim coaches and, after a law firm retained by the United States Soccer Federation determined he did not improperly withhold information when he was hired in 2018, was rehired to resume coaching in September.

The U.S. went ahead when Pulisic accelerated around Jonathan Tah, cut to the center and turned around Antonio Rüdiger, then lifted a shot to Marc-André ter Stegen’s upper left corner for his 27th goal in 63 international appearances.

Gündoğan tied the score with his 18th international goal and first since the World Cup. Leroy Sané spun left back Sergiño Dest, cut across the top of the penalty area and twice exchanged passes with Gündoğan. After goalkeeper Matt Turner committed, Sané poked the ball to Gündoğan for an open shot from close range.

Once Reyna was replaced by Luca de la Torre, Germany dominated.

Füllkrug beat Turner to the far post from 12 yards for his eighth goal in 10 appearances after Robin Gosens slid a pass past Chris Richards. Musiala got his second international goal, racing ahead of Tim Ream after Füllkrug beat Turner to a deflection and then centered the ball.

German midfielder Chris Führich made his international debut when he entered in the 81st minute.

Chargers rested and ready to go after bye week

October 14, 2023

COSTA MESA — The Chargers entered the bye week with victories in consecutive games, evening their record after starting the season with consecutive defeats that ignited a flurry of second-guessing, head scratching and overall disgust inside and outside of a fanbase that expected so much more.

So, what’s changed with the Chargers exiting the bye week, preparing to resume their 2023 season with a date with the Dallas Cowboys on “Monday Night Football?” Have they learned their lessons? Are they better off now than they were after their first four games? Are they healthier?

Defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day shared a few thoughts about the state of the Chargers heading into Week 6. Above all, the bye week, as early as it was this season, couldn’t have come at a better time, according to Joseph-Day. The Chargers are now healthier and wiser after the break.

“It was kind of God-sent,” Joseph-Day said. “It kind of came at a premium time and now we could go in and dive in a little deep early, and see where our strengths were, where our weaknesses were and what we need to improve. And also, we got healthy. I think it definitely helped a lot.”

The Chargers still have miles to run before they can claim to be playoff contenders. Their 2-2 record isn’t what they might have hoped for entering the bye week, but it certainly beat any alternatives, what with the Cowboys and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs next on the schedule.

No question, they are healthier, but they also have key players nursing potentially debilitating injuries, especially quarterback Justin Herbert, who is expected to play with a protective glove on his left, non-throwing hand. Herbert fractured his left middle finger in the Chargers’ win Oct. 1 over the Las Vegas Raiders.

What’s more, edge rusher Joey Bosa didn’t practice fully all week because of a toe injury. Defensive backs Alohi Gilman and Deane Leonard also didn’t practice fully with their teammates because of heel and hamstring injuries, respectively. Defensive lineman Nick Williams injured his back and couldn’t practice.

Running back Austin Ekeler, who sat out the past three games because of a sprained ankle, and safety Derwin James Jr. who didn’t play against the Raiders because of a hamstring injury, are expected to play Monday night against the Cowboys. So, the Chargers will have two key players healthy again.

The next question is whether the Chargers can put together a complete game and earn a third consecutive victory and move above .500 for the first time this season. It would go a long way in re-establishing them as playoff contenders, as a team starting to fulfill its promise as more than just a collection of elite players.

“If you look at our roster, I don’t think we’re a 2-2 team,” Joseph-Day said.

That’s what had fans and pundits up in arms at the bye, and what had players and coaches pleading for patience. To be sure, there is plenty of football still to be played, starting with Monday night’s game against the Cowboys. But there are plenty of difficult games still to be played, starting Monday.

‘We know we’re a much better team than our record says,” Joseph-Day said. “But, you know, we’ve just got to keep pressing forward, learning from those mistakes, but keep pressing forward. That’s what we’re here to do, just making the most of those ‘opps’ (opportunities) and not beating ourselves twice with the same mistakes. We’ve got a huge ‘opp’ in front of us, a huge team in front of us.”

Mater Dei, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos in Division 1 for CIF-SS girls volleyball playoffs

October 14, 2023

Three Orange County teams are in the elite Division 1 bracket for the CIF Southern Section girls volleyball playoffs.

Mater Dei is seeded No. 1 among the eight teams selected for the bracket. Huntington Beach is seeded third and Los Alamitos seventh.

Division 1 is divided into two, four-team pools. Mater Dei is in Pool A. Huntington Beach and Los Alamitos are in Pool B. There are three rounds of pool play: Wednesday, Oct. 24 and Oct. 28.

The Division 1 championship match is Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at Cerritos College. Sierra Canyon was last season’s Division 1 champion.

Championship matches for Divisions 2-9 also are on Nov. 4 at sites that will be determined after semifinal matches are played Oct. 28.

In Division 2-9, the playoffs start with wild card-round matches Tuesday. First-round matches are Thursday.

All matches through the semifinals start at 6 p.m.

Among the first-round matches Thursday is Aliso Niguel (12-12), the third-place team in the deep South Coast League, against Wave League champion Corona del Mar (17-10) at Corona del Mar High.

Corona del Mar beat Aliso Niguel in four sets on Sept. 5. Aliso Niguel won the first set, Corona del Mar won the next three.

Aliso Niguel coach Richelle Whiting was impressed by the Sea Kings.

“They’re just classic girls volleyball players,” Whiting said. “They play defense and pass well and they’re super-smart on the attack. The longer we can stretch them out (by extending rallies) and make them play defense the better it could be for us.”

JSerra (25-10), which finished second to Mater Dei in the Trinity League, is seeded second in Division 2. Trinity League third-place team, Orange Lutheran (22-13), is seeded fourth in Division 2.

Pacific Coast League champion Beckman (29-5) is seeded No. 1 in Division 3. San Joaquin League champion Capistrano Valley Christian (28-4) is seeded second in Division 4.
