Highs and lows

Highs

JACKIE STILES: The Southwest Missouri State phenom has played her way to center stage, becoming the all-time scoring leader in women's Division I basketball. Her skill and savvy show the women's game is expanding beyond the COUNTYpowers.

ANNIKA SORENSTAM: One week after shooting the first 59 in women's golf, the Swede won the Nabisco Championship, her first major in five years. Tiger-talk still dominates the golf world, but Sorenstam's feats have given the LPGA a considerable boost.

TIGER WOODS: He's ba-aack!

Lows

CARL EVERETT: The Hillsborough High graduate and Red Sox outfielder was late Tuesday for a team bus, again, and clashed with manager Jimy Williams. Everett, whose volatile personality threatens to plague a potential contender throughout the season, was a no-show Wednesday. Thursday, he was fined but supposedly cleared the air. We'll see.

RICHARD WILLIAMS: Equating anything his daughters go through on the tennis circuit to the assassination of Martin Luther King is as ludicrous as thinking this guy could simply shut up and let Venus and Serena play ... for real.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: The average ticket price to a game will be $18.99. That's a 12.9 percent jump from last year's $16.67. Do you believe you still get what you pay for?

SPRING TRAINING STANDINGS: The Yankees are last in the American League. That's how meaningful these standings are.

CAL STATE-FULLERTON: Track coach John Elders gave runner Leilani Rios an ultimatum: choose the team or her job dancing at a strip club. She chose to keep dancing to help pay for her education. Elders said the job reflected badly on the school. But going to a strip club does not reflect badly on the school. Elders learned about Rios' job after several baseball players saw her dancing.
