I went out to the USA Sevens rugby tournament fan festival Saturday in search of Invictus.
SAN DIEGO — Each time Billy White dunked, he was putting exclamation points on a victory over an opponent he relishes beating. White dunked three times and scored 19 points as San Diego State dominated UNLV 68-58 before a crowd of 9,224 at Viejas Arena.
SALT LAKE CITY — Roman Martinez scored 15 points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer late in overtime to put No. 15 New Mexico ahead for good in a 68-65 victory over Utah on Saturday.
Deyon Christie doesn’t miss football. The Western High School sophomore hits plenty of people without needing any help. And he hates losing, especially when his teammates let him down.
He doesn’t move all that fast. His wheelchair is positioned as a defensive protector of the goal line. Most times, others push beyond him through the orange cones and score with ease.
A chorus of “Woooo!” filled the Las Vegas High gym Saturday during the final bout of the Sunrise Region wrestling tournament.
The United States made a magical run to the semifinals of the USA Sevens rugby tournament last year in San Diego.
Northwest League-champion Shadow Ridge had only one individual champion at the Sunset Region wrestling tournament Saturday at Bonanza.
If there was one basketball team UNLV didn’t want to fall behind, it was San Diego State. The Aztecs won all three meetings last season, and they scorched the Lady Rebels for a 29-point victory a month ago.

Danny Tarkanian ambles around a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Las Vegas, carrying a new basketball for his 6-year-old daughter. It’s a Sunday, a rare day of rest for Tarkanian, who’s getting ready for the first extensive rural Nevada tour of his 2010 U.S. Senate campaign. He’s made the trek many times before, as a Republican candidate for secretary of state in a statewide race he lost in 2006 — his second failure as a candidate.
The condition of one of the victims in Thursday’s violent attack by an ax-wielding man in the central valley was upgraded Saturday.

For months Nevada politicians have said “everything is on the table” when it comes to solving the state’s budget crisis. On Saturday it was obvious Nevada citizens took the politicians at their word. More than 600 residents crammed into the Sawyer Building near downtown Las Vegas to make demands or suggestions and to plead their cases to nearly two dozen legislators seeking input on how to close a budget shortfall estimated at $871 million.
Two faded blue tattoos on Alberto Mota’s arms are all that’s left of his gang days. Heat from lasers focused on Mota’s shoulder cause the ink under his skin to explode, sending the particles through his bloodstream where his body breaks them down until the tattoo disappears.
DURING AN APPEARANCE ON “THE DAILY SHOW” Tuesday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized President Barack Obama for urging people not to blow their money in Las Vegas.
Jayme Martinez could see clearly where surgeons had reattached part of boxer Z “The Dream” Gorres’ skull.
