SKIING
Tahoe ski resort faces lawsuits after avalanche killed
skier — The widow and a friend of a skier killed in an ava-
lanche at a Lake Tahoe ski resort last year have filed separate
lawsuits accusing the resort of negligently rushing to open the
slopes in unsafe conditions for a holiday weekend that’s typi-
cally one of the season’s busiest. Cole Comstock, 34, of Blairs-
den, California, was killed and his close friend, Kaley Bloom,
was seriously injured when they were swept up in the avalanche
on an Alpine Meadows ski run on Jan. 17, 2020 — the Friday
before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. No one else was seriously
hurt. Bloom and Cole’s widow, Caitlin Raymond, recently filed
the lawsuits in Placer County Superior Court. They seek un-
specified damages from Alpine Meadows on accusations of
negligence, gross negligence and breach of contract. Raymond’s
lawsuit also alleged the resort was to blame for her late hus-
band’s death. The resort had closed the day before Comstock
and Bloom went skiing, after several days of heavy snow.
PREP SPORTS
Justice Department withdraws from transgender
athlete case — The U.S. Justice Department has removed
its support for a federal lawsuit in Connecticut that seeks to
reverse a state policy allowing the participation of transgen-
der athletes in girl’s high school sports. The lawsuit was filed
a year ago by several cisgender runners who argue they have
been deprived of wins, state titles and athletic opportunities
by being forced to compete against two transgender sprinters.
The Justice Department’s move comes just days before a Fri-
day hearing on a motion to dismiss that lawsuit.
FOOTBALL
Yates as secondary coach and pass game coordinator. Yates,
an 18-year college coaching veteran, agreed to terms last
Thursday. UO announced his hiring Tuesday as well as of-
fensive line coach Alex Mirabal being named associate head
coach of offense and inside linebackers coach Ken Wilson be-
ing named co-defensive coordinator. Yates comes to Oregon
after a one-year stint at Cal, where he served as safeties coach
and worked with defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter, now
at UO.
SOFTBALL
Oregon softball moves up in polls after 7-0 start —
Oregon softball moved up in the polls after improving to
7-0. The Ducks remain No. 8 with 553 points in the NFCA
coaches poll and No. 10 with 327 points in the USA Softball
poll after a pair of wins at Fresno State. That’s up from No.
10 with 504 points and No. 11 with 322 points, respectively,
last week. Oregon plays top-ranked UCLA twice and Utah in
Tempe, Ariz. on Sunday and Monday.

four points, eight assists, seven
rebounds, a block, a steal and
two turnovers against the Tro-
jans.
Ionescu — who shattered
the NCAA record for tri-
ple-doubles during her iconic
career — averaged 14.6 points,
6.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists as
a freshman.
It would be unfair to mea-
sure Paopao against one of the
greatest players in the history
of the sport. The freshman is
averaging an impressive 10.2
points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.4
assists while orchestrating a
roster with two seniors and
nine newcomers.
Now the focus shifts to the
regular-season finale against
rival Oregon State on Sun-
day at Matthew Knight Arena
(3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks) and
the Pac-12 Tournament March
3-7 in Las Vegas.
“I look at this season, we’re
going to have ups and downs
with the youth that we have
and just the lack of overall ex-
perience,” Graves said. “We
were in a pretty bad place (after
the UCLA game).
“So I think it shows this
team has some character and
the kind of mental makeup
that is necessary to continue to
compete down the stretch.”

According to Golf Digest,

Spade and Dwyane Wade, at

Woods, a 15-time major

his fifth back surgery and first
since his lower spine was fused
in April 2017, allowing him to
stage a remarkable comeback
that culminated with his fifth
Masters title in 2019.
He has carried the sport since
his record-setting Masters vic-
tory in 1997 when he was 21,
winning at the most prolific rate
in modern PGA Tour history.
The SUV he was driving
Tuesday had tournament logos
on the side door, indicating it
was a courtesy car for players at
the Genesis Invitational. Tour-
nament director Mike Antolini
did not immediately respond
to a text message, though it is
not unusual for players to keep
courtesy cars a few days after
the event.
Woods feared he would
never play again until the 2017
fusion surgery. He returned to
win the Tour Championship to
close out the 2018 season and
won the Masters in April 2019
for the fifth time.
He last played Dec. 20 in the
PNC Championship in Or-
lando, Florida, an unofficial
event where players are paired
with parents or children. He
played with his son, Charlie,
who is now 12. Woods also has
a 13-year-old daughter.
During the Sunday telecast
on CBS from the golf tourna-
ment, Woods was asked about
playing the Masters on April
8-11 and said, “God, I hope so.”
He said he was feeling a little
stiff and had one more test to
see if he was ready for more ac-
tivities.
He was not sure when he
would play again.
Athletes from Mike Tyson to
Magic Johnson and others of-
fered hopes that Woods would
make a quick recovery.
“I’m sick to my stomach,”
Justin Thomas, the No. 3 golf
player in the world, said from
the Workday Championship
in Bradenton, Florida. “It hurts
to see one of my closest friends
get in an accident. Man, I just
hope he’s all right.”
Crews used a crane to lift
the damaged SUV out of the
hillside brush. The vehicle was
placed upright on the street
and sheriff’s investigators in-
spected it and took photos.
Then it was loaded onto a flat-
bed truck and hauled away
Tuesday afternoon.
This is the third time Woods
has been involved in a car in-
vestigation. The most notori-
ous was the early morning after
Thanksgiving in 2009, when
his SUV ran over a fire hydrant
and hit a tree.
In May 2017, Florida po-
lice found him asleep behind
the wheel of a car parked
awkwardly on the side of the
road. He was arrested on a
DUI charge and said later he
had an unexpected reaction to
prescription medicine for his
back pain. Woods later pleaded
guilty to reckless driving and
checked into a clinic to get help
with prescription medication
and a sleep disorder.
Woods has not won since
the Zozo Championship in Ja-
pan in fall 2019, and he has re-
duced his playing schedule in
recent years because of injuries.
The surgery Tuesday would be
his 10th.

“She tried to get to the rim a
little bit and had a little fight.
“I was really excited to see
that. She’s such an elite talent.”
Parrish recently practiced
her way into the starting lineup
but was asked to come off the
bench so Chavez could set the
tone.
The freshman guard was
4-for-6 on 3-pointers with
four steals, three assists and no
turnovers in 19 minutes.
“When I told her before
the game, she wasn’t upset,
she wasn’t disappointed. She
just said, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it,’”
Graves said. “She still had the
kind of game that you need.
It just goes to show you she’s a
winner.”

They did not say how fast he
was driving. Weather was not a
factor in the crash.
The two-lane road he was
on curves through upscale LA
suburbs, and the northbound
side that Woods was driving
on descends steeply enough
that signs warn trucks to use
lower gears. The speed limit is
45 mph.
Barbara Ferraro, a council-
woman in the community of
Rancho Palos Verdes, said the
road where Woods crashed is
not winding like other stretches
but it’s steep and not far from a
gravel runaway truck lane that
was ahead before the next traf-
fic light.
“It’s easy to pick up speed,”
Ferraro said. “Even if you’re not
speeding, unless you’re actually
putting on the brakes, you’ll
pick up speed.”
Woods was in Los Angeles
over the weekend as the tour-
nament host of the Genesis In-
vitational at Riviera Country
Club, where he presented the
trophy on Sunday. He was to
spend Monday and Tuesday
filming with Discovery-owned
GOLFTV, with whom he has an
