13-year-old basketball player stomps on opponent's head in wild scene during game
Police are investigating after a 13-year-old basketball player allegedly stomped on an opponent’s head on the court at a Bay Area game.
Things turned ugly in a game between Tumakbo United, a Filipino-American youth basketball team, and Payton’s Place, another Bay Area team, Sunday at the College of Alameda.
On an inbound pass, the son of Eva and Roderick Guingab caught the ball and was looking to push it upcourt when a player from Payton’s Place ran up to steal the ball away. A scuffle for the ball ensued after the young Guingab hit the hardwood.

It’s normal to see two basketball players wrestling for the ball to determine possession, but when another player from Payton’s Place came over during the scuffle, he stomped on Guingab’s head while he was on the ground.
The referee, who had already blown his whistle when Guingab hit the floor, immediately grabbed the player who stomped on Guingab’s head, breaking things up before it got even uglier.

After taking a look at her son, Eva Guingab said, “You could clearly see the size of his shoe on his face,” according to KGO-TV.

“My son suffered a concussion for the first time he played basketball,” she added.
Police are investigating after the Guingabs filed a formal report.
The family of the boy who stomped on Guingab’s head said he was sticking up for his teammate he believed was kicked and punched during the scuffle, KGO-TV reported.

An organizer of the tournament at the College of Alameda reportedly told the player who stomped on Guingab to leave the gym once things were settled.
An official from Payton’s Place told the station the player is now “seeking help to control his emotions, and he is not playing with the program at this time.”
“The behavior that was exhibited by our player is not acceptable and is being taken seriously,” Payton’s Place added.

“I think everyone was just in shock. I think we all kind of went on the court and went to the coach of the other team to say, ‘What just happened? What’s going on?’” Michael Tolentino, who coaches Tumakbo United, said.

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — State officials say they are ready to provide assistance to the 999 people laid off from Spirit Airlines.
The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) said it will support former Spirit employees with reemployment services, retraining opportunities and more.
Impacted workers can also file for unemployment insurance at NUI.nv.gov.
“DETR is committed to supporting every Nevada worker affected by the Spirit Airlines layoffs,” department Director Christopher Sewell said in a statement. “Our team is ready to provide timely resources, guidance, and individualized assistance to help impacted employees navigate their next steps.”
Rapid Response is a free program that provides strategies for layoffs and plant closures. It quickly coordinates services and provides immediate support to employers and affected workers.
Employees can access no-cost career and training services through EmployNV. This includes career counseling and job-search assistance, skills assessments and re-skilling opportunities, and training grants for high-demand career fields.
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo encouraged anyone who was laid off to use DETR’s resources.
“Our priority is getting folks back to work right away, and the state stands ready to assist with no-cost employment services to help with the transition,” Lombardo said in a statement.

Spirit ceased operations on May 2 after failing to secure a government bailout. The company notified Nevada DETR that it was laying off 999 employees based at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas as a result.
