Laguna Beach graduates hope to ‘catalyze' positive change
Laguna Beach put the finishing touches on its school year by saying goodbye and good luck to 193 seniors during its commencement ceremony on Thursday evening at Guyer Field. Following community tradition, the class of 2025 got a head start on the celebration on Tuesday, when the procession of the graduates to Main Beach took place. Julian Reichel added to his legend at Laguna Beach as the valedictorian. The striker helped the Breakers win the CIF Southern Section Division 4 boys' soccer title this season, the fourth for the program and first since 2002. Reichel delivered a valedictory address focused on encouraging those fortunate enough to grow up in the community to drive success not just for themselves. 'Now, we not only have the power to decide where we will go, what we will pursue, and who we become, but we have the power to catalyze change,' Reichel said. 'I am sincerely proud of our work up to this point, and I'm inspired by the achievements of my peers. I truly believe in our capacity to be more than ourselves and help others prosper.' Lauren Norrix drew the vocal assignment for the national anthem, and Reyna Shahrestany led the attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance. Dee Perry, the president of the board of education for the Laguna Beach Unified School District, accepted the candidates for graduation at the commencement ceremony.

Blackhawks' shootout win keeps Canadiens from clinching
April 15 - Frank Nazar recorded a goal and an assist in regulation, then scored the only goal of a shootout to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 win a Montreal on Monday, preventing the Canadiens from clinching a playoff spot. The Canadiens fell short despite increasing their home-ice point streak to 11 games (9-0-2). Montreal (39-31-11, 89 points) is four points ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets for the second Eastern Conference wild-card berth. The Canadiens would clinch if Columbus loses either of its remaining two games, or if the Habs avoid a regulation loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday in their lone remaining contest. The Blackhawks (24-46-11, 59 points) are 3-1-1 in their past five games as the rebuilding club tries to end the season on a high note. Tyler Bertuzzi and Lukas Reichel scored for the Blackhawks. Arvid Soderblom saved all three of the Habs' attempts in the shootout after stopping 18 of 21 shots in regulation and overtime. Montreal's Ivan Demidov had a goal and an assist in his NHL debut. The fifth overall pick of the 2024 NHL draft signed with the Canadiens last week after the completion of the KHL season. Juraj Slafkovsky and Alex Newhook also scored for Montreal. Joel Armia had two assists, and Sam Montembeault stopped 22 of 25 shots. It didn't take long for Demidov to deliver on the hype. The 19-year-old Russian forward earned his first assist on Newhook's goal six minutes into the first period, and then scored his first goal at the 13:32 mark. The Blackhawks narrowed the deficit on Bertuzzi's power-play tally 80 seconds before the first intermission. Nazar assisted on Bertuzzi's goal, then added a power-play goal 16:41 into the second period. Reichel put the Blackhawks ahead 5:39 into the third period. Landon Slaggert dropped an excellent saucer pass to Reichel streaking up the middle of the ice, and Reichel buried the shot. With just under three minutes left in regulation, the Canadiens equalized on the power play. Slafkovsky got the last touch on a loose puck that squeaked past Soderblom and the post. --Field Level Media

RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg react to controversial penalty
RB Leipzig secured their place in the DFB Pokal semi-final with a 1-0 win against Wolfsburg on Wednesday night, but the result came with controversy. Benjamin Sesko shot from close range into the path of Kilian Fischer, who couldn't react quick enough to move his arm out of the way. Match official Tobias Reichel pointed to the spot and even after VAR Pascal Müller intervened, Reichel wasn't sent to the screen to review the decision. Speaking after the game, RB Leipzig's Ridle Baku discussed the decision, saying that Leipzig had 'a controversial penalty that went in our favour.' Leipzig defender David Raum even went as far as apologising, adding: 'I went up to a few Wolfsburg players during the game and said sorry.' Marco Rose also addressed the situation. 'If I were a Wolfsburg player, I would be upset,' said RB Leipzig's head coach. Wolfsburg's Ralph Hasenhüttl also had his take on the decision: 'I don't think he could see it clearly from his position. The process doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand why he doesn't look at it again.' Later that evening, Reichel commented on the reasoning behind his decision, saying that he 'had a clear view' before adding about his dialogue with the VAR. 'The scene was checked. We exchanged views. He could not refute the parameters mentioned with the images. That's how I perceived it on the field, which is why I decided that way.' GGFN | Daniel Pinder
