Jean-Luc Reichmann a encore du mal à digérer l’affaire Christian Quesada. Dans les colonnes du Parisien, l’animateur des Douze Coups de midi revient sur le début d’année « difficile » qu’il a vécu.

L’arrivée de Paul dans les 12 coups de midi a permis de rebattre les cartes. Et Dieu sait que l’émission en avait besoin… Avant la participation du jeune homme atteint du syndrome d’Asperger au jeu télévisé de TF1, l’émission avait en effet perdu certains de ses fidèles et peinait à redémarrer. En cause : l’affaire Christian Quesada.

Ce dernier, considéré comme le meilleur candidat de l’histoire du programme (il a participé près de 200 fois au 12 coups de midi, ndlr), a été arrêté et incarcéré fin mars, pour « détention de contenus pédopornographiques » et « corruption de mineur ». Un scandale qui a terni l’image de l’émission quotidienne présentée par Jean-Luc Reichmann.

L’animateur s’est justement confié dans les colonnes du Parisien, ce jeudi 11 juillet. « Après un début d’année insupportable, avoir cette respiration avec Paul est juste extraordinaire », a-t-il expliqué. L’animateur ne décolère pas après la “trahison” de son ancien champion. Jean-Luc Reichmann et Paul, l’actuel champion du jeu télévisé de TF1, ont en effet noué un lien particulier depuis l’arrivée de ce dernier.

« Nous vivons une fabuleuse aventure humaine. Tous les candidats doivent avoir leur chance », affirme l’animateur des 12 coups de midi. Et si le syndrome d’Asperger rend la participation de Paul plus compliquée, il ne lâche rien pour autant et compte bien marquer à son tour l’histoire des 12 coups de midi de son empreinte.

Une partie du long métrage Thor 3: Ragnarok, en salles en octobre 2017, se déroulera sur la planète Sakaar, tirée du comic-book Planet Hulk.

Depuis quelques mois, la rumeur voulait que Thor 3: Ragnarok, nouveau volet de la saga consacrée au super-héros au marteau, inclue des éléments tirés du comic-book Planet Hulk. Aujourd’hui, les choses semblent se confirmer. Le site MCU Exchange rapporte ainsi qu’au sein des pages du dernier numéro de Total Film, le réalisateur Taika Waititi indique qu’une partie du long métrage se déroulera sur la planète Sakaar.

Thor 3 Ragnarok : un parfum de Jurassic Park !

“La planète Sakaar était un endroit complètement dingue, un endroit futuriste très éloigné qui s’est avéré le plus grand tournant pour le film et ses personnages”, déclare ainsi Taika Waititi dans la revue Total Film, cette dernière indiquant que la fameuse planète sera l’endroit où se réuniront les Avengers Thor et Hulk.

Le long métrage Thor 3: Ragnarok sortira dans les salles hexagonales le 25 octobre 2017. Chris Hemsworth retrouvera son rôle du Dieu d’Asgard, alors que Mark Ruffalo se glissera à nouveau sous les traits du Géant Vert. Dans ce qui est annoncé comme un buddy-movie, la méchante Hela sera incarnée par Cate Blanchett.

Interrogé sur Twitter, James Gunn a confirmé que “Les Gardiens de la Galaxie 2” aurait une scène post-générique. La confirmation arrivée, que pourrait contenir une telle scène ?

Restez après le film ! Le réalisateur James Gunn a confirmé qu’il y aurait une scène post-générique au film Les Gardiens de la Galaxie 2. Il l’a fait avec son humour habituel, sur Twitter :

All I’ll say is, unless you have to rush out because your mother is dying, stay through the entire end credits. https://t.co/c58nzDeCnp

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) 11 mars 2017

“Tout ce que je dirai c’est qu’à moins que vous deviez partir en courant parce que votre mère se meure, restez jusqu’à la toute fin du générique”.

Traditionnellement, les films Marvel/Disney ont une scène bonus au milieu du générique (souvent un complément au film qui vient de se terminer) et une scène post-générique (souvent une annonce d’un film Marvel à venir).

Si l’on se fie au calendrier Marvel, les films les plus proches des Gardiens de la Galaxie 2 sont Spider-Man: Homecoming ou Thor 3. Son arrivée prochaine pourrait être teasée à la fin du film. Mais surtout, Avengers: Infinity War est en tournage avec Chris Pratt avant qu’il ne rejoigne le plateau de Jurassic World 2, et donc il est possible que la fin des Gardiens 2 annonce leur rencontre avec les Avengers.

Kevin Feige a promis qu’on ne reverrait pas Thanos avant cet Infinity War, donc on ne devrait pas le retrouver ni dans ni après Les Gardiens.

Les Gardiens de la Galaxie reviennent le 26 avril dans les salles :

NEW YORK  — 

Democratic presidential candidate Michael R. Bloomberg on Friday unveiled a broad plan to eliminate all coal power plants and slow the expansion of the natural gas sector as part of a policy to fight climate change that he says would cut carbon emissions across the U.S. economy by 50% over the first 10 years.

The New York billionaire, who has devoted significant time and money toward fighting climate change in recent years, said the new plan is the first of several that would ultimately move the nation toward phasing out fossil fuels completely “as soon as humanly possible” — ideally before 2050.

“The president refuses to lead on climate change, so the rest of us must,” Bloomberg said in a statement accompanying the release of the new policy. He added: “As president, I’ll accelerate our transition to a 100% clean energy economy.”

Climate has emerged as a central issue in both the 2020 Democratic primary election and in Bloomberg’s young candidacy, which he formally launched just three weeks ago. The plan, while a sharp shift away from President Trump’s push to weaken environmental safeguards, is unlikely to win over his party’s loudest environmental activists.

It stops well short of the goals of the “Green New Deal,” a sweeping resolution embraced by many on the left — including some of Bloomberg’s presidential rivals — that calls for sourcing all of the nation’s electricity from clean energy in a decade. Bloomberg’s plan envisions “phasing out of all carbon and health-threatening pollution in the electricity sector” to ensure 80% clean electricity by the end of his second term.

The presidential contenders who have signed onto the Green New Deal include Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.

Bloomberg does not outline a cost for his plan. Campaign officials said he would begin to release cost estimates in the coming weeks as they finalize details. Some of his Democratic opponents have large taxpayer investments associated with their clean energy plans. Sanders, for example, has a $16.3-trillion price tag.

The plan doesn’t address nuclear power directly, but campaign spokesman Brian Reich said Bloomberg supports “maintaining a safe, reliable nuclear presence in our energy makeup.” “We should not be retiring existing nuclear plants, nor should we be building new ones when the cost of wind, solar and batteries are declining dramatically,” he said.

Bloomberg’s specific goals include closing the nation’s remaining 251 coal power plants with clean energy by 2030. He says he’ll release another plan in the coming weeks that outlines a policy to help communities impacted by the closures.

It would aim to stop the “rush” to build new gas plants by imposing strict new emissions and health protections, although Bloomberg’s team did not immediately respond to questions about how his policy would specifically impact energy companies’ plans to create 150 new gas plants in the coming years.

It would end all taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuel companies, establish a moratorium on new fossil fuel leases on federal lands, and quadruple the amount of federal dollars dedicated to research and development in clean energy and a clean grid to at least $25 billion each year.

The plan promises to reverse the Trump administration’s rollbacks of clean air, water, health and safety, and waste rules. It also says Bloomberg would prioritize “environmental justice” and “environmental racism” by instructing federal agencies to consider environmental impacts in all actions and creating environmental justice offices in every agency, among other changes.

Bernie Sanders withdrew his endorsement of California congressional candidate Cenk Uygur on Friday following reports about the online talk show host making crude and degrading comments about women and provocative statements about Jews, Muslims and other groups.

The Democratic presidential candidate had said Thursday that Uygur, founder and co-host of “The Young Turks” online talk show, is “a voice that we desperately need in Congress” to fill the seat of former Rep. Katie Hill of Santa Clarita. A backlash among Democrats offended by Uygur’s inflammatory comments led the congressional candidate to say Friday that he would no longer accept endorsements, prompting Sanders to withdraw his support, even as he continued to praise him.

“As I said yesterday, Cenk has been a longtime fighter against the corrupt forces in our politics and he’s inspired people all across the country,” the Vermont senator said. “However, our movement is bigger than any one person. I hear my grassroots supporters who were frustrated and understand their concerns. Cenk today said he is rejecting all endorsements for his campaign, and I retract my endorsement.”

Sanders did not specifically address Uygur’s comments about women. His campaign spokesman Mike Casca did not respond to an email asking whether the senator shared the concerns of supporters who were offended by his support for Uygur.

In an episode of his show in 2013, Uygur ranked women on a scale of 1 to 10 on how likely men would be to let them perform oral sex on them.

Uygur also defended the Harvard University men’s soccer team in 2016 for ranking the sexual appeal of female students on a scale of 1 to 10 on a widely shared “scouting report,” including explicit descriptions of potential sex acts with the women.

“We’ve been doing it for as long as humanity has existed, so they put it in a Google doc — not guilty,” said Uygur, who has promoted Sanders on his program.

In 2007, Uygur used the n-word multiple times in a show about Duane “Dog” Chapman after the celebrity bounty hunter used the racial slur.

Uygur, 49, described himself in a telephone interview as a champion for women’s rights who should not be criticized for having “frank conversations about sex” on his show. The problem with the Harvard team’s appraisals of the women, he said, was not that they rated their sex potential; it was that the roster became public.

“I’m not going to be the thought police and police what their private comments were,” he said.

He also said “The Young Turks” used to have a policy to use the n-word epithet when quoting racists in order to mock them, but stopped doing it after complaints from black activists.

Will Rodriguez-Kennedy, president of California Young Democrats, a group that backs Sanders, had called on him to yank the endorsement.

“We think that he doesn’t necessarily reflect the movement that Sen. Sanders has built,” he said.

Mark Gonzalez, chairman of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, had also called on Sanders to “disavow” Uygur and pull the endorsement. Uygur’s “vulgarity, his hate speech and divisive rhetoric have no place in our party,” Gonzalez said in a Friday statement. The party is likely to endorse one of Uygur’s opponents, Assemblywoman Christy Smith of Santa Clarita, on Saturday.

Another Uygur supporter, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Fremont), stood by him on Friday morning, but denounced the talk show host’s behavior and said he should apologize. Still, Uygur’s commitment to Medicare for all, free public college and ending U.S. involvement in wars abroad “is why so many progressives rallied around him,” Khanna said.

After Sanders pulled his endorsement, Khanna followed suit.

Shortly before Sanders reversed course, Uygur released a statement Friday saying he appreciates that supporters endorsed him “in the face of the corporate media and Democratic establishment onslaught.”

“I will not be beholden to corporations, lobbyists or special interest groups, and I will not stand by while those groups attack my political allies,” he said. “That’s why I have decided that I will not be accepting any endorsements.”

Sanders apologized in January after accusations emerged of sexism, sexual harassment and pay discrimination by male supervisors in his 2016 presidential campaign.

He initially told CNN that he’d been unaware of complaints in his 2016 campaign. “I was a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case,” he said.

Days later, amid mounting criticism, he was more forceful. “What they experienced was absolutely unacceptable and certainly not what a progressive campaign or any campaign should be about,” he said.

Last week, the Sanders campaign severed ties with staff member Darius Khalil Gordon after the Washington Free Beacon published anti-Semitic and homophobic slurs that it said were from his Twitter feed.

A former Republican, Uygur is now one of the Democrats vying in California’s March 3 election to represent the state’s 25th Congressional District, which covers Simi Valley, Porter Ranch, Santa Clarita, Palmdale and part of Lancaster. Hill, a Democrat, resigned in November amid accusations that she’d had affairs with congressional and campaign staff members. Uygur lives in West L.A., 30 miles outside the district.

California’s Democratic establishment has lined up behind Smith, the assemblywoman. Her supporters include Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Republicans in the race include former Rep. Steve Knight, who was ousted last year by Hill, and George Papadopoulos, an advisor to President Trump’s 2016 campaign who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in the Russia scandal.

Uygur, a Turkish immigrant who has a law degree from Columbia University, is a former MSNBC host.

Many of his most provocative remarks have been compiled in video snippets posted on Twitter in recent weeks by a New York Democratic activist, M. Mendoza Ferrer, who is unaffiliated with any presidential campaign. She said it seemed Uygur had built his online platform denigrating women and others, and now that he’s a Democrat running for Congress it bothered her that his audience of mainly young men was tuning in.

“Once this stuff came to light, anybody would be sort of horrified,” she said. “I was horrified.”

The clips she unearthed included a 2012 segment of “The Young Turks” in which he said conservative Orthodox Jewish men and Muslim women in heavy religious attire were “wasting their lives.”

Uygur, who was raised Muslim and now describes himself as agnostic, said Thursday that he was referring to fundamentalists, and he’s offended they think he “will rot in hell.”

“I believe the things they believe are not correct, yes,” he said. “If they want to spend their whole lives following an ideology that I don’t believe is correct, that’s on them.”

WASHINGTON  — 

All seven of the Democratic presidential candidates who have qualified for next week’s scheduled debate in Los Angeles threatened Friday to skip the event to express support for union workers involved in a contract dispute at Loyola Marymount University.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren was the first to jump into the fray, declaring in a tweet that she would miss the debate rather than cross a picket line.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former Vice President Joe Biden, tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang, billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar followed with similar statements, as did former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, who has not qualified for the debate.

The dispute between union cooks, dishwashers and servers at Loyola and Sodexo, the company that runs the school’s food service, is the second labor action that has threatened the Thursday debate. In November, the Democratic National Committee moved the debate to Loyola from UCLA because of a contract dispute there involving the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees. The DNC and university learned of the latest issue Friday, committee officials said.

“It is our understanding this matter arose within the last day,” DNC Communications Director Xochitl Hinojosa said Friday. “While LMU is not a party to the negotiations between Sodexo and Unite Here Local 11, [DNC Chairman] Tom Perez would absolutely not cross a picket line and would never expect our candidates to either. We are working with all stakeholders to find an acceptable resolution that meets their needs and is consistent with our values and will enable us to proceed as scheduled with next week’s debate.”

Perez, who was secretary of Labor under President Obama, has mediated labor disputes in the past.

Unite Here Local 11, which represents roughly 150 Sodexo employees at Loyola Marymount, said the union has been in contract negotiation since March and began picketing last month.

“We had hoped that workers would have a contract with wages and affordable health insurance before the debate next week,” Susan Minato, the local’s co-president, said in a statement.

“We felt it was imperative to let the candidates know and understand what our labor dispute is and the fact that we will be out there [picketing] the day they were supposed to be at the debate,” said Ada Briceño, the local’s co-president and chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Orange County.

As for the candidates’ boycott plans, “of course it feels great to see,” Briceño said. “It’s not just words, but they’re walking the walk, it’s action. We’re enlisting the help of the candidates and the general public to help us reach an agreement.”

The LMU workers are continuing to work under their last contact, which expired in March; the workers earn between $13.25 and $16 an hour, the union said.

“Because we have seen [the talks] go nowhere, in November we started picketing,” Briceño said.

Briceño said Sodexo, a global food services concern based in France, also canceled negotiating sessions scheduled for the remainder of this month and “told us they were available in January.”

Sodexo, when asked to comment on the candidates’ plans, issued a statement saying that it was “100% committed to reaching an agreement, and any statement that we have left the bargaining table is not accurate.”

“We have been negotiating in good faith with the United Here Local 11 since December of last year” to reach a new contract that’s “equitable for everyone, including our employees, and we still intend to achieve such an agreement,” Sodexo said.

The university released a statement Friday noting that it “is not a party to the negotiations” between Sodexo and the union local.

“The university has encouraged and continues to encourage Sodexo to resolve issues raised by Local 11. Earlier today, LMU asked Sodexo to meet with Local 11 next week to advance negotiations and solutions,” the statement read. “LMU is not an agent nor a joint employer of Sodexo, nor of the Sodexo employees assigned to our campus.”

Lauter reported from Washington and Peltz from Los Angeles. Times staff writer Evan Halper in Washington contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON — 

The Supreme Court stepped into the midst of a major clash between Congress and President Trump on Friday, saying it will consider three cases in which Trump argues the Constitution gives him sweeping immunity to shield his tax returns and business records from being released to House Democrats or prosecutors.

The court’s action sets the stage for a politically charged decision next year, just as Trump campaigns for reelection.

At issue in two of the cases, involving subpoenas from House committees, is a fundamental question involving the separation of powers: Does Congress have broad power to investigate and demand information from the executive branch, including from the president, or is the chief executive shielded from congressional meddling into his personal affairs? The third case involves a subpoena from New York prosecutors.

Trump has claimed a near-absolute immunity from having to reveal such personal records while he’s president — an assertion that has, so far, been rejected by federal district and appeals court judges in all three cases.

If the justices uphold the subpoenas — two from House committees and one from a New York grand jury — Trump’s tax returns and other financial records could be turned over by the summer. However, if the high court rules for Trump, he could continue his reelection campaign without having to disclose private financial details that most other presidential aspirants have, including the amount and sources of his income, taxes he has paid and business dealings of the Trump Organization.

Lawyers for the House say Congress has a long and honored history of conducting investigations, and they argue that “valid subpoenas” to Trump’s accountants and bankers carry the force of law. They won before federal district judges and the U.S. appeals court in Washington in October and the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York this month.

Trump has been confident he would prevail before the Supreme Court because five of the nine justices are Republican appointees.

In the past, however, the court has been united on major questions of presidential power. In 1974, an unanimous court including appointees of President Nixon refused to shield his Watergate tapes. And in 1997, a unanimous court refused to shield President Clinton from responding to a civil suit alleging he sexually harassed an Arkansas state employee.

In their appeals, Trump’s lawyers said the House demands for the president’s personal and business records are unprecedented in their aim and scope. “It is the first time that Congress has subpoenaed personal records of a sitting president,” they told the court. It is also “the first time that Congress has issued a subpoena, under the guise of its legislative powers, to investigate the president for illegal conduct.”

The Constitution does not specifically say Congress has the power of oversight or investigation, but it has been understood that its “legislative powers” include the authority to investigate the workings of the government. Trump’s lawyers insist this general congressional authority does not include investigating “lawbreaking” or “illegal conduct.”

The dispute over the tax subpoenas comes before the court at the same time that House Democrats are moving to impeach Trump and to seek his removal from office. Though the two battles are separate and are operating on different time schedules, the Democrats see a common theme. In both instances, they say the president has refused to cooperate and has blocked their investigations.

Three House committees — on Oversight, Financial Services and Intelligence — sent subpoenas this year to Mazars USA, Trump’s accountants, and to Deutsche Bank and Capital One, which handled financing for the Trump Organization.

The subpoenas seek a massive amount of information, including eight years of Trump’s tax returns. Lawmakers said they were looking into Trump’s potential conflicts of interest and hush-money payments to two women who said they had affairs with Trump as well as allegations that the Trump Organization profited from “money laundering” by Russian oligarchs.

Trump’s lawyers sued in federal court in Washington to block the subpoena from the Oversight Committee, and they sued in New York to block the subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Capital One from the Financial Services and Intelligence committees. They said the subpoenas were “extraordinary” and “sweeping” in their scope.

In the Deutsche Bank case, they said the committee’s subpoena “demands information about seven business entities, as well as the personal accounts of not only the president, but also Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump” as well as “all of the named individuals’ immediate families — meaning their spouses and minor children, and in the president’s case, his grandchildren…. They seek documents reaching back more than a decade [and] cover individuals who have never held government office.”

Separately, a New York grand jury at the urging of Manhattan Dist. Atty. Cyrus R. Vance Jr. subpoenaed Trump’s tax returns and financial records as part of an investigation of the hush-money payments to two women. Trump’s lawyers said the president had an “absolute immunity” from a criminal investigation, but they lost before a federal judge and the 2nd Circuit. Last month, Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling as well.

So far, the lawyers on both sides have taken broad positions that may not fare well before the justices. The House lawyers have argued that lawmakers have a nearly unlimited authority to demand documents and personal records because they might bear on some future legislation. Trump’s lawyers have contended the chief executive has a nearly absolute shield from being forced to disclose information to Congress.

The famous precedent in this area is the 1974 ruling in United States vs. Nixon, in which the Supreme Court upheld an order requiring Nixon to turn over his Oval Office tapes to the grand jury investigating the Watergate break-in.

Not surprisingly, the competing lawyers see it differently. To lawyers for the House, the Nixon ruling demonstrates the president is not above the law and can be required to disclose even his private conversations in the Oval Office. But Trump’s lawyers point out the subpoena came from a criminal grand jury, not Congress, and it sought information that was crucial to a pending criminal case.

Round One goes to Los Angeles Fairfax — by a knockout.

In a matchup of City Section Open Division boys’ basketball title contenders, the Lions built an early lead and never let up in earning early-season bragging rights over Western League rival Westchester with a 75-64 victory Friday night at Westchester High.

Although neither team is in championship form yet, new Fairfax coach Reggie Morris Jr. got his first taste of the rivalry guiding a team and got the best of his mentor Ed Azzam, under whom he played at Westchester.

“Big games are big games and this rivalry is a big deal,” said Morris, a 1996 Westchester alum. “We’ve coached against each other before and Ed owns the advantage over me. In the big picture this means nothing. Both teams have to get a lot better before the playoffs.”

After being held to one 3-pointer in the first quarter, Fairfax guard Keith Dinwiddie caught fire in the second when he scored 13 of his game-high 22 points — including 11 points in a row — to extend the Lions’ lead to 30-17 with 3:30 left in the first half.

Azzam, the winningest coach in City history with 902 victories, has led the Comets to 14 section titles since taking over in 1979-80, but he could only watch from the bench in dismay as his team looked tight and missed eight of 14 free throws.

Justyn Hunter had 14 points, Armon Cole had 12 and Justin Gladney and DJ Dudley each added 10 for Fairfax (7-0 overall, 2-0 in league), which beat Westchester for the fourth consecutive time. The Lions won all three meetings last season — the last in the City finals — under former coach Steve Baik, who resigned in April.

The last time neither Fairfax nor Westchester played in the City’s upper division final was 2012 when Woodland Hills Taft beat Los Angeles Dorsey in Division I.

Zion Sutton scored 14 points and Joseph Johnson and T.J. Wainwright each added 13 to lead the Comets (3-3, 1-1), who were outscored 19-7 in the second quarter.

Both programs are retooling after losing key players to graduation. Westchester lost Jordan Brandon and Kaelen Allen while the Lions lost City player of the year Ethan Anderson and Robert McRae.

The rematch will be Jan. 29 at Fairfax in a game that could determine the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the Open Division, although Morris isn’t looking that far ahead.

“There’s a lot of work to do between now and then,” he said. “I didn’t even game plan for this. It’s more about how we’re playing than the opponent.”

Defense has been Chatsworth Sierra Canyon’s strength all football season. That makes the accomplishment of senior quarterback Jameson Silva from Fresno Central even more stunning.

Placing confidence in his receivers, Silva shredded the Sierra Canyon secondary for 353 yards passing and three touchdowns to lift Central (15-0) to a 34-19 victory over the Trailblazers in Friday’s CIF state championship Division 1-AA bowl game at Cerritos College.

The one defensive player who kept pushing back was sophomore linebacker Kamari Ramsey. He had one interception and made another one that was nullified by a roughing-the-passer penalty. He also blocked a conversion kick. The Grizzlies’ first bowl championship was clinched when Sierra Canyon quarterback Chayden Peery was called for intentional grounding in the end zone with 2:44 left. Je’kob Jones had two fourth-quarter touchdown runs for Central.

Sierra Canyon (14-2) got a boost at the outset of the second half when Ramsey came up with an interception at the 28. On the next play, JD Sumlin ran 72 yards for a touchdown. The conversion kick was no good, leaving Sierra Canyon behind 13-12.

Central’s standout receivers came through again and again. Quali Conley caught a 50-yard pass and Anazjae Simpson made a diving five-yard touchdown grab in the end zone for a 20-12 advantage with 5:54 left in the third quarter.

Central made Sierra Canyon pay on blitzes to take a 13-6 halftime lead. Twice Silva spotted the Trailblazers trying to pressure him, and he responded by getting the ball to receivers in one-on-one coverage for touchdowns. Xavier Worthy delivered a 34-yard touchdown catch and Jeremiah Hunter, a Cal commit, took a screen pass 65 yards for a touchdown. Hunter made seven catches for 120 yards.

The big surprise in the first half was Sierra Canyon’s failure to generate any kind of consistency on offense. The Trailblazers had to settle for field goals of 26 and 33 yards from Josh Bryan. Neither team could run the ball against strong defensive line play. Peery finished 24 of 43 passing for 237 yards.

2-AA final: Omari Taylor lost his older brother to a shooting on Halloween, but the junior running back has relied on his teammates to make it through the tragedy. He scored a touchdown and got to kiss the 2-AA state championship trophy after Concord Clayton Valley defeated San Bernardino Aquinas 10-7.

“Nothing is going to bring him back,” Taylor said. “I lost a brother, but I have 67 that has carried me through the toughest time of my life. I can’t describe the love I have. It’s unbreakable.”

Clayton Valley (10-5) held a 7-0 halftime lead, then got a 35-yard field goal from Shane Nelson with 5:15 left. Aquinas (13-3) got a 30-yard touchdown catch from Isaac Handy with 2:59 left. But Clayton Valley ran out the clock.

Ugly Eagles coach Tim Murphy refuses to punt on fourth down. “Punting is quitting,” he said.

Eight times Clayton Valley went for it on fourth down, and four times they converted a first down. They punted once, only the second time all season. It helped keep Aquinas pinned down.

“I’m kind of embarrassed,” Murphy said of the punt.

Mike Herrington retires: The Southern Section has lost to retirement another of its great football coaches. Mike Herrington, who became the 11th football coach in California history to win 300 games, announced on Friday he was stepping down after 31 years as head coach at Newhall Hart. He also will retire as a teacher and athletic director in June. Herrington guided Hart to seven Southern Section championships.

He and brothers Dean and Rick built the Indians into one of the top high school programs in the state during the 1990s and started producing one top quarterback after another, including NFL players Matt Moore and Kyle Boller.
