The Haim family is on the verge of celebrating another City Section championship while playing for El Camino Real.
Last season, All-City infielder Juju Haim helped the baseball team win the City Section Open Division title at Dodger Stadium.
On Saturday, his sister, Talya, will try to quarterback El Camino Real’s flag football team to a City Division I title. The Royals face Carson at 5 p.m. at Garfield.
Talya is a junior who has been the starting shortstop for the softball team since her freshman year. She picked up flag football quickly, becoming an accurate passer and mobile quarterback. She has 40 touchdown passes this season.
Carson will present a severe challenge with a pair of talented sophomore quarterbacks in Sa’niya King and Soriyah Maulupe.
Talya is hoping to earn some bragging rights from big brother and add her own ring.

Ageless Noel, 76, took to Instagram to share a clip of them together and told him: “At last, I get to see you again after all these years.”
Cliff, 85, joked: “I know… it’s been too long. I mean, there’s a hundred years separating us.”
Laughing, former Deal or No Deal host Noel replied: “It was 25 years ago that you were on my Christmas Day show and you’ve done wonderful, kind things for me ever since, over the years.
“So I wanted to come and say thank you. But I then started to do some mathematics – and we have a combined age of 161.”
Despite claims Ariana Grande, above, and Ethan Slater had called it quits after two years, I can confirm they are very much still togetherCredit: GettyAriana and Ethan, above, spent time together after the London premiere of Wicked: For GoodCredit: Getty
Insiders have told me the pair were aware of the talk around their romance and spent the night after the Wicked: For Good premiere in London holed up in her suite at the Mandarin Oriental hotel.
A source said: “Ariana and Ethan are still a couple but they’ve seen the chatter online and it’s not been easy.
“When Ariana left the after-party, she went back to her hotel suite.
“Not long after, Ethan was taken there and went up to see Ariana to spend time with her.
“They are aware of what is being said and it’s not easy for them but they’re doing the best they can to snatch some quiet moments when no one is watching.”
Yesterday they rejoined the rest of the cast, including Cynthia Erivo, to fly to Singapore for the next leg of the promo run ahead of the second movie’s release next Friday.
It has been a couple of months since speculation about their relationship went into overdrive, with fans questioning why Ethan didn’t join Ariana at the MTV VMAs in New York in September.
My insider added: “Once this next round of promo is completed for Wicked: For Good, Ariana and Ethan will be spending some time together out of the public eye.
“They’ve always preferred to be low-key and are happier just chilling at home together.
“No one is saying the past few months have been totally rosy but their relationship is still very much on.”
Hopefully this will shut down the TikTok trolls for a while.

Bonehead was diagnosed with the disease before the tour kicked off in July and was “responding well” to treatment.
He then took a planned break for the next phase of his care.
Teasing his return, he tweeted an image of a flight path from London to Rio de Janeiro with the caption, “Incoming”, which was then reposted on Oasis’s official website.
The band have pulled off the seemingly impossible by making it through the tour without a mammoth bust-up between Liam and Noel Gallagher.
With that success, I’m sure these final five shows in Argentina, Chile and Brazil won’t be the last we hear from them.
You too can now look like Shakira – well, get locks like her anyway – as she has launched her award-winning haircare brand Isima in the UK.
It has been made available for the first time in Selfridges stores in London, Birmingham and Manchester after winning a string of awards in the States.
Kelly blasts boss’s boob

Kelly Clarkson has revealed she was once told to get a boob job by her manager.
Speaking on stage during her Las Vegas residency, the US singer said: “I had some d**k manager one time tell me to get a boob job. I was like, ‘Why don’t you get a d**k job?’
“Like, what? I’m fine with my itty-bitty t*tties. Get out of here. Who says that s**t? People say that s**t.
“They say it all the time to people in the industry. They say the craziest s**t.”
On how many stars in the music business have had cosmetic surgery, Kelly continued: “I’m like, ‘This is not normal. You’ve normalised crazy’ . . . everybody’s out here looking like they’re in The Capitol in The Hunger Games.
“[Just] do you. Don’t make me do you. I like my itty-bitty t*tties. They’ve served me well.”
NASHVILLE — The Chargers won the battle but lost the warrior.
They held off the Tennessee Titans 27-20, but saw their outstanding left tackle Joe Alt go down with the same injured ankle that sidelined him earlier this season.
It was a troubling and ominous blow Sunday to a franchise that’s in a constant state of reshuffling its offensive line and unable to sufficiently protect quarterback Justin Herbert. Before losing Alt, the Chargers lost right tackle Bobby Hart to what they called a groin injury (but looked to be a hurt leg).
On a cool and overcast day, the Chargers had enough to get past the one-win Titans — the Chargers (6-3) were favored by 9½ points — but will face far stiffer competition in the second half of the season. The Titans haven’t won at home since last Nov. 4.

Herbert, who ran for 62 yards in the Week 8 win over Minnesota, again provided the bulk of the Chargers’ running game. He led all rushers with 57 yards in nine carries, including a one-yard touchdown.
The Titans fired coach Brian Callahan last month after the team got off to a 1-5 start, putting in place interim coach Mike McCoy, who was head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 2013 to 2016.
The Chargers absorbed a huge blow in the second quarter when Alt went down with an ankle injury, the same ankle that caused him to miss three games earlier this season. Alt, the best player on the offensive line, had returned for the Week 8 game against Minnesota and his presence was noticeable in both run blocking and protection of Herbert’s blind side.

But Sunday, he was felled by 285-pound Titans edge rusher Jihad Ward, who was blocked into the back of Alt’s legs. Alt sat on the turf for a few minutes, surrounded by Chargers medical staff, before a cart rolled onto the field to take him off.
It was the latest setback for an offensive line besieged by them this season, and an indication that Herbert will remain the most hit and harassed quarterback in the league this season.
Even though the Titans were without defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons, their best player, Herbert was still under near-constant pressure.
Herbert threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half, although his first throw was abysmal. It was straight into the arms of Tennessee linebacker Cody Barton, who turned the visitors’ second play from scrimmage into a 24-yard pick-six.
As he does virtually every week, Herbert picked up some big gains with his feet. He had a 39-yard scramble in the second quarter, and rolled out in the fourth and scored his first rushing touchdown of the season, sliding in from a yard out. That capped a 15-play, nine-minute, 99-yard drive in response to a goal-line stand.

The Titans (1-8), who have had troubles moving the ball in the red zone, scored their second touchdown of the half on a 67-yard punt return by rookie Chimere Dike, who leads the NFL in all-purpose yards.
Those issues in the red zone were on display in the third quarter, when the Titans had four plays inside the 10 and couldn’t score, including third and fourth downs from the one.
Anchoring the middle of the Chargers’ defense was Daiyan Henley, playing two days after his older brother was shot and killed. After a sack in the first half, the third-year linebacker dropped to his knees and turned his palms to the sky and held out his hands in prayer.
Edge rusher Odafe Oweh had a pair of sacks, bringing his total to four in four games since being traded to the Chargers by Baltimore last month.
