Calabasas girls get the 4×100 relay win at Mt. SAC Relays

Humble but hungry.

That was the mindset Calabasas’ foursome that took to the track at Hilmer Lodge Stadium for the Invitational girls’ 4×100 race Saturday at the 66th annual Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut.

In one of the meet’s marquee matchups, the Coyotes ran their fastest time yet — 44.48 seconds — to set a new meet record and avenge their loss to Fullerton Rosary one week earlier at the Arcadia Invitational.

“Taking that ‘L’ last week gave us motivation,” senior captain Marley Scoggins said after getting her team off to a good start with a blazing first leg. “We didn’t like that feeling.”

Speed ultimately wins races, but Coyotes coach Jeff Clanagan helped the cause by changing the order of his runners in hopes of building an early lead. He flipped Scoggins and Olivia Kirk (who led off seven days earlier) while Malia Rainey and Devyn Sproles ran the second and third legs. Adding an element of surprise proved to be an effective strategy.

“You always look at matchups and in a relay you want to get out first and force a mistake by another team,” Clanagan said. “Marley is our best starter off the blocks and I felt doing that might give us a mental edge. We kept it a secret right up until race time. I told my girls not to show our new order until you get on the track so Rosary won’t have time to talk to their coach.”

Scoggins, a Tennessee commit, was edged at the finish by Rosary’s Maliyah Collins at Arcadia, where Calabasas settled for second at 44.54 effort while the Royals circled the oval in 44.23, shattering the state record of 44.50 set by Long Beach Poly in 2004.

“I’ve run every leg at one time or another but I liked starting today — it felt more powerful putting us in front,” Scoggins said. “We’re trying to go 43 [seconds]. We can definitely drop time. For the first time this week we tried different hand-offs.”

Her teammates did the rest. Rosary was second in 44.94 and Steele Canyon took third place in 46.62.

“This is the first time I’ve anchored in a while and the girls gave me a lead like they always do,” said Kirk, a senior headed to Oklahoma. “I think the key was our determination. We knew we didn’t run our best last week and we wanted to come here and take our win.”

Calabasas has won two of three head-to-head relays with Rosary this spring, having clocked 44.95 to take the teams’ first encounter at the Mt. Carmel Invitational on March 28 in San Diego.

Next up for the Coyotes is a trip across country for the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, an international meet where they will compete in prelims Thursday for a chance to make the finals Friday on the world stage.

“No U.S. team has beaten a Jamaican team in 20 years,” Clanagan said. “We’re hoping to change that.”

Two hours later, Rainey and Sproles were among the nine sprinters in the Invitational 100-meter dash, which also featured a pair of Rosary’s 4×100 runners, Justine Wilson and Tra’via Flournoy. Wilson prevailed by three hundredths of a second over Rainey in 11.65.

Collins demonstrated why she is one of the Southland’s top sprinters, taking first in the 200 meters in 23.25 — 30 hundredths of a second off the meet record set in 2002 by L.A. Baptist’s Allyson Felix.

Having clocked 39.70 to better its own state record at Arcadia seven days earlier, Servite broke the boys’ 4×100 relay Mt. SAC record for a second straight year Saturday as Jace Wells, Benjamin Harris, Jorden Wells and Kamil Pelovello ran the one-lap sprint in 39.98 after Jorden Wells, Harris, Jaelen Hunter and Robert Gardner got the baton around in 40.15 last year. Sherman Oaks Notre Dame came in second for the second straight year in 41 flat.

Torrance senior Nicolas Obimgba won the Invitational 100 meters in 10.24, three hundredths of a second off the meet record set last year by Mt. Miguel’s Brandon Arrington. Newbury Park senior Jaden Griffin (10.30) finished second, Jorden Wells (10.44) was third and Pelovello (10.64) was seventh.

Loyola senior Ejam Yohannes won the Invitational 400 meters in 46.29 after placing third in the event while battling sickness at Arcadia. His personal best (46.11) came three weeks ago at the Chandler Rotary in Arizona.

“A lot of these guys I’ve raced and beat before,” Yohannes said. “Early on I was feeling the effects from last week. I usually finish stronger but I’m still not 100 percent. I’m already primed to win CIF. I’m confident I can run 45 [seconds] or even a little lower.”

Tenth-grader Kaahliyah Lacy of San Jacinto Valley Academy, who won the girls’ 300 hurdles in 40.81 at Arcadia, clocked 39.93 to break the Mt. SAC record Saturday and doubled for first in the 100 hurdles in 13.65. JSerra junior Reese Holley was the 800-meter winner in 2:08.10 and Long Beach Wilson’s Clara Adams was first in the 400 meters in 53.13. Her teammates Brooklyn Fowler (54.33) and Brooke Blue (54.47) were third and fourth.

Adams did not race in the Invitational 4×400 relay but the Bruins won anyway in 3:49.55. JSerra was second in 3:52.77. In the boys’ 4×400, Yohannes ran the anchor leg as the Cubs finished second in 3:14.70 behind Fresno Central East (3:13.96).

Defending state high jump champion JJ Harel, who cleared 6-9 to win at Arcadia, was second with a height of 6-10 Saturday. Dean Guzman of Moorpark won at seven feet.

Sherman Oaks Notre Dame junior Lillian Wilson won the girls’ shot put with a throw of 43-3.75 and took second in the discus (147-3) behind Lancaster Desert Christian’s Corynn Smith (152-8).

Having won the girls’ long jump and triple jump at Arcadia, senior AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley tripled Saturday, leaping 19-4 to win the long jump, spanning a distance of 41-7.5 for the the triple jump title then clearing 5-10 to win the high jump.

Cassidy Nguyễn from Los Alamitos won the girls’ pole vault at 13 feet and Aliso Niguel’s Dane Malloy won the boys triple jump at 48-5.

Since speaking out on the “rift” between her family the fashion designer has been spotted letting loose at her early birthday celebrations.

Stunning Victoria took to her Instagram to show fans the incredible navy blue dress she decided to wear to the dinner.

Posing in the mirror of a huge dressing room, Victoria explained her dress of choice.

She said: “So I’m here in Miami and tonight I’m going out with my girlfriends for my birthday and I’ve got this amazing navy blue jersey dress which I love.

Victoria Beckham breaks silence on Brooklyn feud for first time

“I love the waist detail here, which really brings the waist in making it look super super toned. It’s got a slit up the side as well… It is the perfect party dress for a night out with my girlfriends.”

Victoria, who turns 52 today, looked sizzling in the tight fitting dress as she showed off her toned physique.

The Spice Girls star had her hair styled in natural waves and her makeup was flawless, complete with a very subtle smoky eye.

She accessorised the chic outfit with some blue open toed stilettos, chunky diamond bracelets and an emerald ring.

Victoria and her closet gal pals sat down for a very bougie meal at Italian restaurant Casadonna.

For starters they had focaccia bread, followed by a choice of grilled octopus or a baby gem lettuce caesar salad.

And for their third and final course the girls had the option to pick between filet mignon, branzino or beef ragu bolognase.

Victoria’s daughter Harper, 14, was also present at the girls dinner as she was seen giving her mum a big hug.

The singer-turned-fashion-designer captioned the snap: “I love you so much @harperbeckham.”

Victoria appeared over the moon as Harper surprised her with a huge birthday cake, which was complete with regal white icing and a singular gold candle.

Earlier this week Victoria broke her silence on her long-running feud with her son, amateur chef Brooklyn, 26.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal magazine, Victoria did not refer to Brooklyn by name when asked about the rift but discussed how she had only ever tried to “protect and love our children”.

The Spice Girls star said: “I think that we’ve always—we love our children so much.

“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.

“And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

Inside Justin Bieber’s Coachella party where Hailey ‘turned away’ girls and Kendall Jenner ‘got close’ to Jacob Elordi

JUSTIN Bieber’s private Coachella after-party had a guest list so exclusive that promoters and influencers who were initially invited wound up being turned away, The U.S. Sun can reveal.

The pop star was supported by the Kardashian-Jenner clan, along with actor Jacob Elordi, who was seen with them in the crowd – and later cozying up with Kendall at the after-party.

Following Bieber’s headlining set on Saturday night in Indio, California, the star hosted a blowout bash with wife Hailey and A-list friends.

Kendall, 30, and Jacob, 28, were reportedly “all over each other” at the after-party.

A source told The U.S. Sun that the party was ultra-exclusive and hosted by Bieber’s new fashion brand, Skylrk, which also had a pop-up at the festival.

“Many people were turned down who had previously been invited,” they claimed.

“Promoters also had a lot of girls on their guest lists and I heard Hailey was turning them away.”

Influencer Zach Clayton echoed this by sharing a video on his TikTok showing a guy complaining, “They cut all my guest list off.”

He explained he invited 20 girls and they were all denied, joking that Hailey is a “boss,” and she was likely the reason they were not given access to the private event.

An insider also told The U.S. Sun that the party was off-grounds, as it’s well known Bieber purchased a $16.6 million estate in the ultra-exclusive Madison Club in nearby La Quinta.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to the Biebers’ reps for comment.

Kylie and other Kardashian family members also own property in the guard-gated community.

A source told The U.S. Sun that Kendall and Jacob are not serious but were seen getting close in the early hours.

“Kendall is 100 percent Jacob’s type. I heard they’re having fun and he hung out with her Sunday, too,” they said.

Australian Jacob has been single since splitting from influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli in October 2025.

The pair had an on-and-off relationship from December 2021 through late 2025.

They last stepped out together at a Frankenstein screening in New York on January 14, but are said to be over.

“Him and Olivia are so done,” the insider added.

The U.S. Sun reached out to Kendall and Jacob’s reps for comment.

Kendall was seen at the festival dressed casually in a pair of white denim shorts, a white tank top, an Adidas hat, and shades.

Jacob wore Bieber’s merchandise, including a black Swag cap, and was seen sneaking through the crowd as he enjoyed the set with the Kardashian-Jenners.

Meanwhile, Kendall has been single since her brief romance with rapper and actor Bad Bunny.

Following their December 2023 breakup, they were spotted together again in May 2024.

Kendall was also seen at the Super Bowl in February, awkwardly dancing to his halftime performance, while the rapper had reconnected with his ex-girlfriend, Gabriela Berlingeri.

Kendall’s new romance with a movie star has tongues wagging, as her sister, Kylie Jenner, is dating Oscar-nominated actor Timothee Chalamet, who was also seen at the festival.

Both actors were highlighted as key figures of this year’s awards season, often appearing together at events.

Kim Kardashian was also seen at Coachella, hiding in the crowd with new love Lewis Hamilton as they tried to go incognito.

Kendall, Kylie, and Kourtney were seen earlier in the weekend at the annual 818 Outpost event, which promoted the family’s brands, along with Hailey Bieber’s skincare line, Rhode.

Justin Bieber will return to the stage this weekend after a headline Coachella set that sharply divided fans.

The pop star opted for a stripped-back, intimate performance style — at times sitting behind a laptop, taking requests, and playing a mix of old music videos, childhood clips, and viral moments.

Some critics labeled the set “lazy” and “low effort,” arguing it lacked the polish expected from a major headliner.

Others, however, praised the nostalgic feel, as Bieber revisited his biggest hits alongside newer material.

Lena Dunham claims ‘feral’ Adam Driver screamed and ‘hurled a chair’ on Girls set after she missed her lines

LENA Dunham has made claims that a ‘feral’ Adam Driver screamed and ‘hurled a chair’ on the set of Girls after she missed her lines.

In the show created and starring Lena, 39, her character Hannah Horvath was in an on-off relationship with Adam’s character Adam Sackler.

In Lena’s brand new memoir Famesick, the actress alleges that her Girls co-star, 42, exhibited “violent” and “feral” behavior on the set of the popular HBO series.

She even described him as “spectacularly rude” and recounted instances of him allegedly screaming and throwing furniture.

Lena described Adam as “half-man, half-beast” as she claimed how Adam was “occasionally violent”.

In one part of the book, Lena alleged Adam threw a chair at the wall next to her when they were running lines.

RARE SIGHTING

Girls star Lena Dunham makes rare appearance for first time in 6 months

Lena claimed she was unable to get her words out but says this was due to her dissociating because of her then-undiagnosed endometriosis.

In her book, Lena recalled: “I remember doing a fight scene with Adam and how scary it was to meet someone so totally present with such absence.

“Late one night, as we practiced lines in my trailer, I found that mine were suddenly gone. I knew I’d written them. I’d known them only minutes before.

“But when I opened my mouth, all that came out was a stammer—until finally, Adam screamed, ‘F**KING SAY SOMETHING’ and hurled a chair at the wall next to me.”

Most read in Entertainment

She then alleged he said: “WAKE THE F**K UP,” adding how he allegedly fumed: “I’M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE.”

The U.S. Sun reached out to Adam’s representative for comment.

Lena went on to say that she said her lines correctly after the incident.

She later noted: “Adam hated his new haircut and had punched a hole in his trailer wall.”

Lena also opened up about sex scenes in Girls and how intimacy coordinators were used far less frequently at the time of the show being in production.

But Lena wanted to cultivate a “safe” environment on set when it came to sex scenes.

She claimed in her book how the “careful blocking went out of the window” when filming intimate scenes, because Adam would allegedly “hurl me this way and that”.

Lena alleged: “Part of me was afraid that when I turned around, I would find I was suddenly in a full-penetration 1970s porno.

“But after a few mimed thrusts, I called cut,” she wrote.

According to Lena, when Adam wrapped his final scene for Girls, at the end of season six in 2016, he told her: “I hope you know I’ll always love you.”

She then revealed how she “never heard from him again” after that.

David Haye stuns I’m A Celeb camp with ‘sexist’ comments about ‘ugly girls’

David Haye stuns I’m A Celeb camp with comments about pretty girls and their ‘ugly mates’ in a chat about his girlfriend

David Haye left the I’m A Celebrity camp stunned with a string of sexist comments. In the second week of the ITV show, the 45-year-old former boxer made a series of statements related to how women look and their personalities, during a group discussion.

It all started innocently enough when it was suggested the group of celebs should meet up for a party when they left the show, and David said his girlfriend Sian was a great cook and could possibly provide food for the event. He then added: “She’s like tall, blue eyes. She’s lovely. She’s got the personality of a proper ugly bird.”

Scarlett Moffatt replied: “You can’t say that.” But David brushed off the response and added: “She has. Most ugly girls realise they don’t they’re not pretty enough to….they gotta have a personality to banter and to tell jokes and s**t, so people overlook the fact that they’re not aesthetically amazing, straight away.

“Which is what’s called Ugly Duckling syndrome, where girls are ugly, when they start off, and then they and then they kind of they, they get pretty as they get older. But they still got the personality of when they’re ugly. Does that make sense?”

As Scarlett and others made shocked noises, David continued to express his opinions. Haye added: “You get a girl who’s pretty from day one, you get a girl who’s different day one. Everyone goes ‘You’re so beautiful. You’re amazing’. She grows up thinking, I’m amazing. Everyone loves me. I can open any door. I can go anywhere I want.

“They don’t have to have a personality, because most super pretty girls are just idiots. But then their ugly friend, they’ve got work a bit harder, be more personable. They got to be nicer to everyone. Gonna get you a drink.”

Scarlett again took David to task over the comments. She explained: “It is not just ugly people saying ‘would you like a drink’. What are you talking about? You are just talking s***.”

And actor Beverley Callard added: “Complete claptrap. So do handsome men have s*** personalities? I have never heard anything so sexist in all my life.”

Haye then changed to conversation onto the fact when he was growing up only pretty girls were allowed into nightclubs in London’s West End.

He said: “They only let pretty girls into the club, and the pretty girls go, oh, so sorry about that. They leave their ugly friend behind. I’ve seen it, I’ve watched it. I’ve watched it with my own eyes. I’ve seen it. It’s horrible. I feel terrible for these poor girls. She’s the one normally driving as well.”

Admitting he was “digging” a bigger hole for himself, Bev replied the shovel was “not big enough”.

Sinitta tried to bring the chat back to his own situation and Haye concluded he would be with his girlfriend “even if she didn’t look how she looked”.

But on Haye’s girlfriend, Beverley said: “He has hit the jackpot, but his partner has got the booby prize.”

The camp were not the only ones surprised by the comments from Haye.

Show hosts Ant and Dec also weighed in. Dec said the comments “might be interpreted as sexist” and Ant said he made “nine jaws drop to the floor” without throwing a punch.

Haye has been in a relationship with model Sian Osborne since 2020, but over recent years he’s also been linked to Saturdays singer Una Healy. He has been in the headlines more for his colour love life than his former skills in the ring in recent years, with suggestions he was in a throuple situation.

The one-time heavyweight champion is non-monogamous which is when someone has multiple romantic and sexual relationships, with the consent of a partner or spouse. Ant and Dec have commented on this during the series, but Haye himself is yet to bring up his relationship status in camp.

Aubrey Plaza is pregnant with her first baby

Aubrey Plaza is pregnant!

Plaza and “Girls” star Christopher Abbott are expecting their first child together. Representatives for Plaza confirmed to People that the pair are set to become parents in the fall. The couple, who have kept their romance under wraps, were spotted together at the Khaite Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show during New York Fashion Week in February.

Plaza, who’s become Hollywood’s favorite weirdo since splashing onto the scene as April Ludgate in the mockumentary sitcom “Parks and Recreation,” met Abbott when they worked together in 2020. The two starred in the psychological thriller “Black Bear,” and then joined forces once more in 2023 for the off-Broadway revival of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.” Abbott may be best known for stealing the hearts of “Girls” fans when he portrayed Charlie Dattolo on the HBO megahit.

In “Danny,” the pair portrayed volatile lovers, and they raved about working with each other while chatting with the New York Times ahead of the production’s premiere. “He cares but he also doesn’t care; it’s the best recipe for me for a scene partner,” Plaza said.

“It’s fun and it’s also good and it’s also safe. I like to just throw things out the window also and laugh and mess around and not take it so seriously. It’s a hard combo to come by.”

“We’re both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange,” Abbott added. The two also agreed that although they aim to entertain the audience, they both hoped to entertain each other.

Plaza — who is known for her deadpan delivery not only on screen but also while giving interviews on red carpets and the late-night circuit — has become known for dropping lines tailor-made for internet culture. In 2011, she notoriously told Jay Leno that she was too awkward for dating. “I’m kind of like all or nothing,” she said. “Either put a baby inside of me or leave me alone.”

The big baby news arrives for the “White Lotus” star a year after the death of husband Jeff Baena, an independent filmmaker who directed Plaza in “The Little Hours.” Baena, who died at 47 in January 2025, had been separated from Plaza for a few months before his death.

Mel B may NEVER perform with Spice Girls again as she breaks silence on band’s cancelled 30th anniversary reunion tour

MEL B has shut down rumours the Spice Girls will reunite to mark the 30th anniversary of Wannabe.

The singer has quashed speculation the band will get back together to celebrate three decades since their debut hit.

Wannabe was released in June 1996, with debut album Spice following that September.

Mel has now confirmed a reunion is not on the cards, disappointing millions fans who had hoped the milestone would bring the group back together.

She reunited with Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm for a string of stadium shows in 2019, although  Victoria Beckham did not take part.

Speaking to HELLO!, Mel said: “I can tell you it’s not happening. If it does, it’ll be a shock to me, let’s put it that way.”

SCARY SPICE!

Reflecting on the last tour, she added: “When I look at that and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time… I’m 50.

“You can’t be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don’t want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50.”

Asked if she would return to the stage if the others signed up, Mel admitted she is unsure.

The 50-year-old said, “I honestly don’t know. I’ve got a lot of respect and love for those girls. I wouldn’t be sitting here if it wasn’t for me being part of the Spice Girls.

“They’ve done a lot for me as a person and in my life. I’ve got fond memories, but I don’t know if I would want to go back up on stage.”

She added: “I can’t even begin to tell you what our bond is – it’s just something that will always be there.

“We’re like family; our umbilical cords are all tied together.”

For now, fans may have to settle for a potential Netflix documentary, in the style of recent Beckham projects.

Mel said: “I think we’ve all been asked and we’re all thinking about it at some point.

“But it has to be done in the right way, and it has to be honest – and not everybody wants to be honest.”

A planned Netflix drama based on the group was shelved last month amid tensions in the group.

Reports in 2024 claimed Geri had concerns about the deal, which is said would have netted the girls a cool £1 million each.  

Sources also alleged tensions between Geri and Mel are making any Spice Girls comeback nearly impossible.

The infamous rift exploded in 2019, after Mel sensationally claimed that she had a secret fling with Geri during the band’s early years in an interview on Piers Morgan’s show.

Geri denied the claim, saying that Mel ‘dreamed it up’ to sell more copies of her Brutally Honest biography.

The Sun told last April how Geri, 53, was back in touch with the band’s former manager Simon Fuller and had flown out to Miami to try and agree on a deal.

As recently as January, Mel C had insisted they were still in active discussions about celebrating the milestone.

And even Victoria, 51, had prompted hopes she could return to the group, saying she “loves” the idea of a residency at Las Vegas venue Sphere.

Mel B brushes off failed Spice Girls reboot as she channels Scary Spice

Their reunion comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that the Spice Girls’ 30th anniversary reunion has been cancelled as they failed to pull their plans together in time.

Victoria and Geri as well as Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton had been in talks to reunite for a string of concerts to mark three decades since the release of their debut single Wannabe.

The Sun understands they failed to reach an agreement and plans for a comeback tour in 2026 have been ditched.

Confirming the news during an interview on The Smallzy Show on Australia’s KIIS Radio, Mel C, 52, said: “No, there is no reunion.

“We are communicating all the time. We want to do something – who knows when.

“But I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.”

The Sun told last April how Geri was back in touch with the band’s former manager Simon Fuller and had flown out to Miami to try and agree on a deal.

As recently as January, Mel C had insisted they were still in active discussions about celebrating the milestone.

And even Victoria had prompted hopes she could return to the group, saying she “loves” the idea of a residency at Las Vegas venue Sphere.

She said in October of the prospect: “It would be tempting. But could I take on a world tour? No I can’t. I have a job…

“How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere! I love the idea of it. I mean I don’t know if I could even still sing, I mean I was never that great!”

However, in recent weeks, plans have fallen apart, with just a collectible coin from the Royal Mint being announced to mark the anniversary.

A planned Netflix drama based on the group was shelved last month amid reported tensions in the group.

The Spice Girls have not performed together as a five-piece since the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.

They last reunited without Posh in 2019 for a sold out 13-date stadium tour of the UK and Ireland, selling 700,000 tickets and making £4.4m each.

She looked chic in a white shirt tucked into a pair of straight leg jeans and a cream wool coat.

Emma wore her blonde locks straight and opted for a subtle make-up look.

Confirming the news during an interview on The Smallzy Show on Australia’s KIIS Radio, Mel C, 52, said: “No, there is no reunion.

“We are communicating all the time. We want to do something – who knows when.

“But I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.”

The Sun told last April how Geri, 53, was back in touch with the band’s former manager Simon Fuller and had flown out to Miami to try and agree on a deal.

As recently as January, Mel C had insisted they were still in active discussions about celebrating the milestone.

And even Victoria, 51, had prompted hopes she could return to the group, saying she “loves” the idea of a residency at Las Vegas venue Sphere.

She said in October of the prospect: “It would be tempting. But could I take on a world tour? No I can’t. I have a job…

“How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere! I love the idea of it. I mean I don’t know if I could even still sing, I mean I was never that great!”

However, in recent weeks, plans have fallen apart, with just a collectible coin from the Royal Mint being announced to mark the anniversary.

A planned Netflix drama based on the group was shelved last month amid reported tensions in the group.

The Spice Girls have not performed together as a five-piece since the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.

They last reunited without Posh in 2019 for a sold out 13-date stadium tour of the UK and Ireland, selling 700,000 tickets and making £4.4m each.

Girls’ basketball player of the year: Kaleena Smith of Ontario Christian

Kaleena Smith averaged 31 points, seven assists and four steals a game this season while playing for the No. 1 program in the Southland, but her expanded leadership role is what earns her the honor of The Times’ girls’ basketball player of the year.

The 5-foot-6 junior point guard marshaled Ontario Christian to the CIF state championships in Sacramento for the first time in the program’s history and along the way her voice spoke almost as loudly as her game — surprising for someone who is not talkative by nature.

“Her numbers speak for themselves but the biggest difference in Kaleena this season has been her leadership,” Knights coach Aundre Cummings, said. “She’s always coming to practice first and leaving last, which teammates respect, but also knowing when to speak up.”

Smith has been nicknamed “Special K” for her talent and charisma, traits that make her one of the top national recruits in the class of 2027. She is garnering attention from multiple college programs. USC women’s coach Lindsay Gottlieb was even on hand to witness Smith score 23 points and contribute six assists in the Southern California regional semifinals against Etiwanda on March 8 and the state championship game against Archbishop Mitty at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

“I’m being more vocal, yes, because I’m gonna have to do that in college,” said Smith, who spent countless hours refining her mid-range jumper this winter. “As captain it’s one of my responsibilities.”

One hundred games into her high school career, Smith is living up to the hype thrust upon her when she was named MaxPreps’ national freshman of the Year in 2024. She passed the 2,000-point plateau when she scored 51 points against Esperanza in November.

Smith paced Ontario Christian to the Southern Section Open Division title as a sophomore and although the Knights were denied a repeat (she had 30 points and five assists in a finals defeat to Sierra Canyon) her stats are better in every significant category. Intertwined with her competitive spirit and winning mindset is the maturity and confidence of an upperclassman.

“Her leadership is what stands out,” sophomore teammate Tatianna Griffin said. “She’s a very quiet person. I’m not sure it comes naturally or not but when she says something we listen.”

Griffin’s own game has blossomed because of Smith’s willingness to give her the ball in clutch situations, and Smith has been a mentor to freshman Chloe Jenkins, who led the team in rebounds (11.3 per game).

Adding leadership to her basketball IQ, court vision, defense, quickness, shooting, passing and dribbling has made Smith a complete player, one who is poised for a senior season worth talking about.

Mel B was notably absent from Emma’s 50th birthday celebrations at Soho Farmhouse in January.

She then was the only Spice Girl who was missing when the girls got together last month for a singalong at Victoria’s London home.

Fans couldn’t contain themselves when a video dropped of the girlband reuniting to sing Viva Forever.

The Sun revealed tonight how the tour, which would have celebrated 30 years of the Spice Girls, had been cancelled after they failed to pull their plans together in time.

All five women had been in talks to reunite for a string of concerts to mark three decades since the release of their debut single Wannabe.

But The Sun understands they failed to reach an agreement and plans for a comeback tour in 2026 have been ditched.

The Spice Girls first got together in the early 90s before shooting to worldwide fame with their debut single Wannabe in 1996.

The fab five enjoyed a huge amount of success all over the globe with an army of fans following them everywhere.

In 1998, Geri shocked fans when she sensationally quit the band.

The group tried to continue as a foursome but ended up calling it a day in 2001.

All five Spice Girls then reunited in 2007 for a tour, and then again for the London Olympic Games in 2012.

However, Victoria chose not to join the band again when they went on tour in 2019.

Fans will now be hoping that this new video is a HUGE clue that the Spice Girls reunion tour WITH Posh will be now on the cards.
