Moreau Catholic basketball standout Kellen Hampton is moving to Southern California Academy in Northridge for his junior season. “It was a surprise, for sure,” Moreau coach Frank Knight told the Bay Area News Group on Thursday. “It took us all by surprise.”Knight said he wishes Hampton the best and has no hard feelings.Hampton is not the first Moreau star to transfer to a prep school. Kyree Walker moved to an Arizona prep school after receiving national freshman player of the year honors by MaxPreps in 2017.“This is not new territory for me,” Knight said. The 6-7 Hampton averaged 20.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game this past season and received second-team all-Bay Area News Group honors. He helped lead the Mariners to the North Coast Section Division I final and a berth in the NorCal Division II playoffs. Hampton is the second high-profile Bay Area basketball player to recently transfer to a prep school.

A former employee of a San Mateo assisted-living facility is facing criminal charges after two residents died last year from drinking toxic dishwashing fluid mistaken for cranberry juice, prosecutors said.Alisia Rivera Mendoza, 35 of East Palo Alto, was charged April 11 with two counts of felony involuntary manslaughter and three counts of felony elder abuse by the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office. Three residents of Atria Park of San Mateo drank the dishwashing fluid on August 28, according to a wrongful death lawsuit, and two of them died shortly thereafter.According to the suit filed in September, one employee poured poisonous dishwashing fluid into a smaller container, which was then served to residents by another employee who thought the fluid was cranberry juice. The suit was filed by the son and daughter of Peter Schroder, who died on Sept. 7 at the age of 93.A lawyer representing the Schroder family previously told Bay Area News Group that she hoped the comp...The top 10 most expensive home sales in Oakland, reported the week of April 10

A trio of men pleaded not guilty on Thursday in the shooting death a 5-year-old Santa Clara girl, who was killed earlier this month on Interstate 880 in Fremont when authorities say the men mistook a car the girl was riding in for that of a rival gang member.Wearing red jail jumpsuits, Humberto Anaya, 29, Emmanuel Sarango, 27, and Kristo Ayala, 25, appeared at Dublin’s East County Hall of Justice to face murder charges in the killing of Eliyanah Crisostomo, 5. She was traveling with her family to a birthday party when she was hit in the heart by a bullet, leaving her mortally wounded.The men showed little emotion and spoke very little as their attorneys denied the slew of charges against them, which include murder and various other offenses, some related to a non-injury shooting that happened a short time before the killiing. Sarango was ordered to be held without bail at the Santa Rita Jail, while bail remained at $140,000 for Anaya and Ayala.The hearing came days after Alame...Warner Theatre presents ‘The Batman’ live in concert

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated four-time All-Star Madison Bumgarner for assignment following his latest shaky start.The move takes Bumgarner off the team’s 40-man roster and leaves Arizona seven days to trade the 2014 World Series MVP or else place him on outright waivers. The Diamondbacks announced the move Thursday, a day after Bumgarner allowed seven runs in three innings against the St. Louis Cardinals.The big left-hander hasn’t lived up to expectations in the desert since signing a five-year, $85 million deal in 2020. A postseason hero for San Francisco, he has gone 15-32 with a 5.23 ERA in 69 starts and is having his worst season with Arizona.The 33-year-old has allowed at least five runs in three of his four starts and dropped to 1-3 with a 10.26 ERA after his latest blowup in St. Louis.“I wish I had some kind of answers,” Bumgarner said after Wednesday’s game. “Not that I’m not going look for them — I’m going to look for them.

Attorneys general in Maryland, D.C. and more than a dozen other states are calling on federal authorities to order a massive recall of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, saying their easily-bypassed ignition switches and vulnerability to being stolen has created a “safety crisis on the roads.”The request came in a letter from 18 state attorneys general to the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.“Due to this vulnerability in their starting systems, the vehicles can be hot-wired and stolen in a matter of minutes, presenting a serious safety issue nationwide,” officials wrote in the letter.“Thefts of these Hyundai and Kia vehicles have led to at least eight deaths, numerous injuries and property damage, and they have diverted significant police and emergency services resources from other priorities.”Overall, the letter asks the federal agency to either order a mandatory recall of Kia and Hyundai vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 20...2 Colorado towns among best places to visit in US
