The San Diego State Aztecs are still on the bubble in NCAA Tournament projections, but at least it’s the right side of the bubble in the latest ESPN Bracketology projections.

Bracket expert Joe Lunardi kept the Aztecs (17-6, 11-2 Mountain West) in the Last Four In in his Friday update.

A man who allegedly exposed himself to schoolgirls and at least one woman in Escondido in recent weeks was jailed Thursday, authorities reported.

Hector Santa Maria Toledo, 49, is suspected of flashing the underage victims while seated in a parked white car near Orange Glen High School on the mornings of Jan. 14 and Feb. 2, according to the Escondido Police Department.

“The victims photographed the vehicle and license plate and promptly reported the incident to school officials,” EPD Lt. Ryan Hicks said.

On Feb. 4, a woman who had seen social-media posts regarding the incidents reported that she had been the victim of a similar crime while walking through a parking lot in the 2400 block of East Valley Parkway on Dec. 18.

Toledo, an Escondido resident, was booked into county jail in Vista on suspicion of five counts of annoying or molesting a minor and one charge of indecent exposure. He was being held on $110,000 bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

“The suspect is believed to have committed additional indecent- exposure offenses within the city of Escondido,” the lieutenant said.

Any other victims in the series of crimes is asked to call Detective Moe Santini at 760-839-4958.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Ongoing construction work forced the City of San Diego to temporarily pause tee times at the city-owned and leased Tecolote Canyon Golf Course.

City crews are rehabilitating and replacing 4.7 miles of a major sewer line that runs through the golf course. Construction on the line, originally built in the 1950s, began along Tecolote Canyon in late 2024. In August of last year, the course was reduced to a 9-hole layout to allow for crews to continue construction and prioritize public safety.

Wednesday’s announcement means all 18 holes are now closed, though the driving range remains open until Sunday.

While the course is closed, the city will reconsider its lease for the property with golf course operator American Golf Corporation. City staff in the next month will release a request for proposals for a new lease.

“Tecolote Canyon Golf Course is a beloved course for many, and our goal is to make sure it continues providing enjoyment for all,” San Diego’s Economic Development Director Christina Bibler said. “This is an opportunity for us to revisit the management of the course, improve operations, better align with market value and enhance long-term revenue and public benefit.”

Proposals for the new lease will be evaluated based on “vision for course improvements and capital improvements plan, operational experience, financial capacity, and the ability to deliver strong, sustainable operations for this city-owned asset,” according to a city document.

The course is slated to reopen this summer when construction is complete, followed by a five-year vegetation restoration effort “to ensure the canyon’s ecosystem thrives for generations to come.”
