IN BRIEF
WASHINGTON — No jail. But no round-the-clock freedom, either, for Gilbert Arenas. The judge found a halfway point — literally — between prison and probation Friday when he sentenced Arenas to 30 days in a halfway house for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room.
Arenas remained expressionless as District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin described a litany of conditions associated with the sentence — two years of probation, a $5,000 fine, 400 hours of community service that can't be done at basketball clinics — then turned to his lawyer for an explanation of what it all meant. After several minutes discussing logistics, Arenas eventually cracked a smile.
With another high school basketball season in the books, the sports staff is preparing to salute the Butler County area's finest by naming the Butler Eagle Basketball Honor Rolls, as well as the top players and coaches, for 2009-10.The girls honorees will be published in the Wednesday edition of the Butler Eagle while the boys selections will appear Thursday.
