High school football: McClymonds runs over Bishop O’Dowd in long-awaited Oakland showdown

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:19 GMT

OAKLAND – When Tajir Golden needed a breather after juking and cutting en-route to 140 yards and two touchdowns, his McClymonds teammate John “Sharky” Tamale took the baton, rushing for 137 yards and two TDs on an even 10 carries. As is so often the case on Friday nights, the duo spearheaded a crushing Warriors running game that wore down a spirited but ultimately overmatched Oakland opponent in a 45-0 victory. So what made this game any different from the dozens of other similar routs that have taken place at “the Mackhouse” over the past decade and a half?Well, this time, it wasn’t an Oakland Athletic League rival being run over on Myrtle Street. It was Bishop O’Dowd, the once-powerful private school program from the MVAL-WACC, that took its lumps against the reigning 2-AA NorCal champion. OAKLAND – McClymonds coach Michael Peters (white shirt on right) and Bishop O’Dowd coach Hardy Nickerson Sr. (black shirt on left) talk before the game.

Draft G20 statement: Respect ‘territorial integrity’ in Russia-Ukraine war

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:19 GMT

NEW DELHI — Members of the G20 have drafted a joint statement expressing support for “territorial integrity and sovereignty” in the Russia-Ukraine war, according to language reviewed by POLITICO.The final version of the G20 communique could still change as leaders of the world’s top economies — including Russia — have to approve of the text. But two officials at the weekend summit in India said the current language is likely to appear in the publicly released version.The Ukraine section of the communique says all countries should refrain from taking “action against the territorial integrity and sovereignty or political independence of any state.” The wording, which Western countries wanted to signal a condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, could also appease Moscow’s complaints that attacks inside Russia have escalated since Kyiv’s counteroffensive.The final version of the communique is expected to be released before all leaders depart the Indian capital on Su...
