calcaterra knows they have john. who looks up, head fake on karaban. 12, darrion long. running away from eve now at 11:00, they grew up minutes apart from each other in the bay and went head to head in tonight's march madness final.

>> hello, i'm sara donchey. the bay area was well represented tonight in houston. two marin county natives competed against each other in the ncaa final. uconn guard joey calcaterra from novato. darrion trammell from marin city. we're going to get to that in just a minute. but first, we'll bring in our man, vern glenn, with all the action from tonight's game. was it always pretty? there were some sloppy moments. >> san diego state dug themselves in a hole as they often do in the first half. almost go away with it in the second half. connecticut has won six games in the tournament, all of them by double digits, so there you go. this started with 68 teams, sarah, and came down to two

tonight. connecticut, they've been shark been smashing opponents. and the second half, huskies up by a dozen. novato native, joey calcaterra, with a couple of big threes. 13 minutes off the bench. san diego state somehow dug itself into that scoring hole. marin city darrion trammell with three steals. and you thought okay, are they going to get out of this? any time the huskies had an answer, and this guy, jordan hawkins, was the answer. big shot after shot. and uconn wins it 76-59. connecticut's fifth title in 25 years. again, every win during that six-game title run was by double digits. so shout out to joey calcaterra, marin catholic grad. and now sarah, he had an extra year of eligibility because everybody did if you played during the covid years. he took that extra year,

connecticut called. he picked up the phone. good decision. >> yeah, i'll say. a painful night for my dad who went to san diego state and plays basketball. but the locals still had a lot to be proud of tonight. we're not complaining about that for sure. betty yu went to two watch parties in the north bay, dividing her time. betty? >> reporter: sarah, the marin city rec center behind me was packed hours ago with family and friends of darrion trammell. they were rooting with him. i would say the walls were really shaking with excitement. they said win or lose, they will be planning a parade for their hometown hero. they watched with great intensity and joy, rooting for marin city native and san diego state guard, darrion trammell, in the national championship game. his two little sisters sat in the front row. and his middle school coach, wayne price, cheered him on with

great pride. wayne shared photos of darrion winning mvp as a middle school student, playing in a high school league. >> i became his basketball coach when he was in the fifth grade. i put him on my eighth grade basketball team because he was just way too dominant for his grade level. even in the eighth grade when he played with us, we won the championship with him. >> reporter: when he was 17, he played in the marin city league and won the championship. darrion went to school in san francisco. he plays big. >> he is fearless. i don't think he has ever played against kids or adults his age. he's always played above and up. >> reporter: san diego state did not pull off the win on monday night in their first championship appearance. but wayne knows darrion will continue to play big. >> he believed in himself. we believed in him the whole time, but he knew what his goal was. dreams are worth more than

money. that's what they always say. he has it tattooed on him. >> reporter: in nearby novato, the uconn bar, fnes m it'sa 's windy and cold outs >> reporter: marin catholic alum and uconn guard, joey calcaterra, is from novato. uconn topped san diego state 76-59. >> i'm feeling great. we're really proud. the community is really proud. and then we had somebody in there, you know, from marin. >> okay, betty, i guess we were at that bar with cameras at that bar last week for one of the march madness games and it was really busy. and then he was saying tonight it sort of fizzled out. what's the deal? >> reporter: that's right. they were all asking themselves that. he said they actually brought in two extra bartenders to handle the expected crowds. and then of course didn't end up needing them. but the bar manager said personally he was

rooting for uconn, so he still went home pretty happy tonight. >> all right, betty, thank you so much. we appreciate it. lsu, of course, won the women's championship. first lady, jill biden, said she also won second place iowa to join them at the white house. dr. biden was at that championship game. she wanted to ask president biden to invite both the teams because they both played so well. the white house has not officially responded to that request. now to politics, former president trump is in new york tonight where in a few hours he'll be arraigned on criminal charges. a judge just ruled cameras cannot broadcast his full court appearance, but photographers will be allowed to take a few pictures. sources tell cbs news tonight, trump will probably face a felony charge for allegedly falsifying business records to hide campaign finance violations related to hush money payments to stormy daniels. the former president attacked the district attorney and claims the judge overseeing the case, "hates

me." his former attorney, michael cohen, claims trump directed him to make those payments to daniels. >> i should not be held accountable for donald trump's dirty deeds. >> does this ultimately get to trial? >> i know he won't settle. that's not in his dna. he'll fight this all the way to the end. >> trump flew in to new york this afternoon from florida, but it looks like he's planning to head back to florida. his team sent out a press release for a speech planned from mar-a-lago tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. many democrats have suggested this was a long time coming and happened very critical of the former president. east bay congresswoman, barbara lee, tweeted last week no one is above the law. lee is running to replace dianne feinstein. but republicans in our state and here in the bay area, though they're outnumbered have a lot offset schism about the indictment. lauren toms talked to two of them. >> reporter: n soleil has

been a republican everceps she could vote. >> all i've seen democrats do is promise this, promise that, you know, not really care about the people. >> reporter: she's a native californian and today leads the silicon valley association for republican women. she supported trump since he accepted the party's nomination in 2016. >> those that love him, love him. you know, that's the way it is. you know he got in there and he started doing exactly what he said he was going to do. how many politicians do that? >> reporter: her support for the former president is unwavering after trump was indicted by a grand jury in manhattan, and says the effort to prosecute is politically motivated. >> it's a trumped up charge. they're trying to deflect him, so he doesn't run. make him look bad. i think it's just bogus. >> reporter: she's not alone. john dennis is the chairman of the san francisco branch of the republican party. he agrees the legal effort is politically

driven. >> this is clearly a horrific case, and there is really no justification for it. i'm sad because i think it is a terrible day for the country. it has all the appearances of the legal system, judicial system being for the political system. >> reporter: announcing the trump campaign raised more than $4 million. >> if he tries to find a way to be low key about this, which doesn't seem like him. if he does it, then he becomes a sympathetic figure. all the people who may have fallen out of the donald trump orbit may come back into the fold because it will remind them of all the things he was fighting for in 1 the former president in the bay

area. while 17% are registered republicans. 72% of the county voted for biden while 25% voted for trump by 2020. >> yeah, we're outnumbered, but i won't stop fighting. >> be sure to stick with cbs news throughout the day tomorrow for continuing coverage of former president trompes a arraignment. still ahead tonight, they're trying to break the cycle from the shelter to the street with two people on the peninsula and what they're doing differently to help unhoused people get a second chance. an icon in the san francisco drag scene has died. how heklina is being remembered for making a difference on and off the stage. >> she let so many people shine and so many people that maybe would not have found themselves. some blustery conditions across the bay area today and along the coast. but the wind . cong up in the first couple

streets. but the san mateo police department is taking a new approach to help find long-term solutions for the unhoused. their strategy involves two people who are not caught. our max darrow explains. it's going to take time to adjust. >> reporter: victoria approaches every interaction and every conversation with compassion. something she says is incredibly important especially when interacting with people who are homeless and those who once were. >> just because they are less fortunate doesn't mean they don't deserve to hit that reset button again. >> reporter: alongside david johnson, they make up the san mateo police department's new two-person homeless outreach team. but they are not officers and they do not do enforcements. they work to connect people to resources to help them find shelter and stability. >> we have several people living up he and right now

they're not here. we're doing a followup to try to get them some services. >> spend some time with them and you will see. >> reporter: their constant presence has helped them build a good report with many people they interact with on a daily basis. making more than 2 it 00 contacts with them. and their interactions vary to rides, appointments, even court appearances. >> and we will offer shelter. most of them respond really well to that. >> and when we go looking for somebody in the community and they hear that we're looking for them, it makes them feel important. >> reporter: on this day, they wanted to check up on a person

at this bus stop. their visit involves deciphering some of the paper work and as well as an important update he cannot miss. to give them a quick and basic checkup. >> we are doing actually case management as we look at all the needs we have. and we will actually take a homeless client from beginning to end if they acknowledge. >> reporter: and enforcement actions are necessary, but they leave those times to the police. >> let's just start something, okay? >> reporter: their hope is their holistic approach will lead to more permanent long-term changes for the people they interact with. everything circles back to compassion.

>> they're human beings that came to earth and, you know, they deserve the same respect. >> in the hopes of creating change. >> at the same time san francisco is expanding a program that pays travel expenses for unhoused people to return to their hometowns. paul, people were facing water restrictions because of the drought. we've been talking about that for years. and it is massive that they couldn't measure it, right? >> yes. and it's the first weekday of the month. 126.5 inches measured by the central sierra snow lab, which equates to 54 inches. that much snow is

heavy. >> this is proof. and all that bet it for we have weeks. an empty house exploded this weekend. it's the second explosion in les than two weeks. we don't know the cause, but we know damage from too much snow has been causing gas leaks. and all of these unexpected issues that are coming up with the amount of snow we've had and as quickly as it has. >> and it is just sticking around. you wouldn't think explosions would be a by-product of too much snow, but one of the many issues you're facing. now the problem is what if all of this melts way too fast? hopefully it is a problem we won't have to worry about it, but they will prepare for it, down slope of the sierra. the amounts we've seen, it's record setting for the central sierra, the southern sierra, three times the amount of snow compared to what's early for the whole. 235%. that measurement with the second highest on record. and the

highest was back in 1952. still breezy at the coast, but the wind advisory expired at 11:00 and will subside. cool temperatures will stick around in the middle of the week. it will bring two different temperatures around us. the wind gusts, still recording some, but these are a lot warmer than they were. we zoomed through the next few days, and until likely friday the earliest. the bulk of the moisture will be aimed well to the north as we head into thursday afternoon, we will see more cloud cover drifting in, but any chance of rain will be way off the coast as we head into friday, but it will be a light rainfall event. and maybe

some showers in the region with the best chance we'll see for a while and i think the showers will quiet down. right now, clear skies overhead. temperatures on the chilly side. only in the 40s. we're going to drop down into the 30s inland with the low 40s persisting around the bay and along the coast. high temperatures tomorrow still a good 7, 8, 9 degrees below normal. and upper 50s down the peninsula, struggling to around 60 degrees in san jose. that'll be one of the warm spots. when the temperatures are only topping out around 60 degrees in early april, that's closer to where we should be in late february, not early april. mid to upper 50s in san francisco and oakland. neighbors to the north also quiet chilly, in the late 50s. the seven-day forecast does include a gradual warmup. by the time easter weekend rolls around, it ettyce sunday with inland temperatures, for the most part reaching up to around the low to mid-70s for the second half

of the weekend, and they might get that warm air around to start next week. we'll keep you updated on that throughout the rest of this week and especially the shower chance on friday, but it is nothing to worry about. >> i mean in perspective, it's calmer than we've had in a while. >> yes, we can. we appreciate it. well still ahead tonight, the sudden death of the san francisco icon has shocked the local drag community. how people are remembering her tonight. and straight ahead in sports, the giants bats were red hot and the warriors x-factor is poised for

tomorrow off before visiting the white sox again on wednesday. and they've got some ninth inning drama down to the last out against cleveland and downtown seth brown delivers. tied the game with this blast as they went to extras where they loaded them up. and in this game, they would have enough time to scoot home and win the game with over three hits, the difference of the game and the same two teams tomorrow. that roster has five guys with bay area ties. and it was a great run, but hey in es person gecut down the nets. >> and as far as baseball, nice to see highlights again. the san francisco giants have to keep that up for how long?

>> san francisco drag would not be the drag you see now without heklina. there is so much anti-drag sentiment around the country. this is a perfect example of how drag can help people as she let so many people shine and so many people that maybe would not have found themselves by giving them that opportunity. so this is an instance where drag does save the day. >> heklina appeared as dorothy in the san francisco drag production of the golden girls, but best known for helping to launch the show tranny stud back in the 1990s. sue to do hear a tornado one thing only. the woman that took
