Estrada, Molina lose decisions

Middleweight Shawn Estrada of East Los Angeles dropped a decision on a tiebreaker to Germany’s Konstantin Buga and light-welterweight Javier Molina of Commerce was defeated by Bradley Saunders of England on Tuesday at the World Boxing Championships in Chicago.

“I started slow but I broke him down at the end,” Estrada said. “The guy couldn’t even stand at the end at the end of the round, but I did my best. I thought I had it, the guy was falling. I had him out-pointed, he couldn’t even stand. I dominated the ring. I showed the people I wanted it more. I did all I can.”

Molina said he was nervous and needed to relax.

“I just kept chasing, every time I came in, he kept getting me with a hook,” he said. “I guess that’s where he was getting all his points. I was to tense in there, I should have been more relaxed. I’m very disappointed.”

Heavyweight Ihab Al Matbouli of Jordan collapsed in the ring during one of the final bouts of the night session. International Boxing Assn. spokesman Richard Baker said fatigue was the cause and that the fighter was not seriously injured.

He was expected to spend the night at Rush University Medical Center.

PREPS

Football is banned at Stockton school

A regional board governing high school sports has banned football at a Stockton school that violated an order to bench three players from American Samoa because of recruiting violations.

The unanimous decision by the board of the California Interscholastic Federation’s Sac-Joaquin Section shuts down the football program at Franklin High for the rest of this season and the next two.

The CIF will consider implementing a plan that would allow eligible football players from Franklin to play at three other schools in the Stockton Unified School District in 2008 and 2009, officials said.

JURISPRUDENCE

Former Dodger gets probation

Former major league All-Star Jose Offerman was granted probation and ordered to get anger management treatment for a bat-wielding attack during a minor league game that injured two opposing players.

Bridgeport (Conn.) Superior Court Judge James Ginocchio also ruled that Offerman, 38, must pay the medical expenses of Bridgeport Bluefish catcher John Nathans and pitcher Matt Beech.

Offerman, an All-Star infielder with the Dodgers in 1995 and Red Sox in 1999, had faced up to 10 years in prison on two felony assault charges. He was granted accelerated rehabilitation, a form of probation that will allow the charges to be dismissed after two years if he abides by the judge’s orders.

A former Duquesne student pleaded guilty to helping two friends armed with guns get into a school dance the night five basketball players were shot and wounded.

Brittany Jones, 20, was sentenced to two years of probation.

A judge also ordered Jones to stay off the university’s campus and away from anyone with a gun.

Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid, was taken into custody again after failing a drug test, prosecutors said. The 24-year-old Reid is required to submit to random tests while awaiting sentencing on drug charges.

MISCELLANY

Nevada player is kicked off team

A Nevada basketball player, who was beaten unconscious and robbed at a Halloween party where three people were shot to death, has been kicked off the team because he had been told not to go out that night, Wolf Pack Coach Mark Fox said.

Tyrone Hanson, a 6-foot-6 sophomore forward from New York, was severely beaten early Sunday at a Reno home where a fight erupted and resulted in the triple homicide. He was treated and released from a hospital.

Assistant Rob Senderoff resigned amid a telephone recruiting scandal that already has cost Indiana one basketball scholarship and Coach Kelvin Sampson a $500,000 pay raise.

The NCAA is still conducting its investigation, which could lead to further sanctions.

Eight new members will be inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame on Thursday night.

The inductees: Amy Acuff, George Brown, Jennifer Brundage, Jim Ferguson, Troy Glaus, John Moore, Jeff Nygaard and Keri Phebus.

The UCLA men’s golf team defeated Georgia Tech, 4-1, to win the team title at the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship at Greensboro, Ga.
