Zoë Carroll didn’t want her first-place Napa High girls soccer team feeling it was no better than cross-town rival Vintage again.

The Vintage High School baseball team won the Land Park Easter Tournament in Sacramento Thursday, beating Vacaville in the championship game, 9-4, and running its winning streak to three in a row.

On Opening Day, April 4, Police played a great defensive game and saw a great pitching matchup.

Vintage improved to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in Monticello Empire League action with Wednesday’s victory, notching several personal-best and quality swims.

Caroline Zaia’s first-half goal on an assist from Ashley Syme led Justin-Siena in a shutout win over host Novato in a Marin County Athletic League game Thursday.

Vintage led 1-0 at halftime after Katie Fulton followed in a shot by Sarah Murdock that was saved in the 14th minute.

Despite Thursday’s rain, Napa High softball head coach John O’Connor said the Napa Easter Tournament will be held today and Saturday as scheduled, but on different fields than originally planned and at slightly later game times.

Brandon Duncan led Vintage (3-4) with a 38 in Thursday’s Monticello Empire League dual match at the Chardonnay Golf Club’s Meadows Course.

Outstanding swims for Vintage (2-1 overall, 1-1 Monticello Empire League) were turned in by Chardonnay Biter-Mundt (200 and 500 freestyle), Katrina Husted (50, 100 freestyle), Bailey Clem (200 individual medley, 100 backstroke), Corrine Schafle (100 breaststroke, 500 freestyle) and Breanna Weber (50, 100 freestyle).

Laura Brochard swam well for Vintage.

It’s been said that defense wins championships, but when Browns Valley Dental squared off against Long Electric in the Optimist Youth Basketball program’s boys 9th/10th grade championship game, it was a 3-point shooting exhibition by Faris Shweiky that led Long Electric to this year’s title.

David Kastner swam well for Vintage.

Memorable outdoor moments come in many forms. Of course you always remember that giant bass you landed, the huge buck you shot, or that beard-dragging turkey you bagged. You have pictures to remind you of these feats, and probably a trophy on your wall as well.

NOTES AND QUOTES for a Friday in the Napa Valley:

Motorcycle madness will take over Infineon Raceway during a three-day stretch as race fans are invited to the 4th annual Two-Wheel Thunder, April 20-22.

Here’s a look at all of the angling action on our local waterways:

Gerardo Mendez (far right) caught this 78-inch, 186-pound sturgeon on a recent outing to the Napa River. Mendez, who has been trying to catch this specific sturgeon for a long time, has been fishing for 20 years. He is joined by Noe Ramirez (far left) and Gerardo Mendez Jr.

Man, I thought we made it out of the woods when Terrell Owens signed with Buffalo.
