St. Paul, La Mirada softball on a collision course?

La Mirada and St. Paul softball teams won their first two games in the eighth annual Kiwanis Showtime Tournament. Another win Saturday in the final round of pool play would pit the two local programs against each other in the Championship game scheduled for 1 p.m. at La Mirada Regional Park.
La Mirada is playing Mira Costa (1-1 in the tournament), and St. Paul takes on Lakewood, the third team that is unbeaten in the tournament. St. Paul has the hardest row to hoe, but it would be nice if the two locals could play for the title.

Whittier seeking Varos’ replacements

The process for flying the soon-to-be-open positions of athletic director and boys basketball head coach at Whittier High School has begun, but no date for the actual opening has been announced.
Michael Varos’ resignation from both positions was announced Thursday.
Two names of possible candidates for the coaching position that have come quickly to the minds of posters here are Whittier’s girls basketball coach Willie Pittman and Pioneer High School boys coach Joey Mata.
Pittman, who led the Cardinals to back-to-back Del Rio League championship (sharing the 2008 title with California), said Friday morning that he is not interested in the boys position at this time.
Mata said Friday morning that his focus right now is 100 percent on his program at Pioneer, and that no one from Whittier, where he works in security, has contacted him about applying.
