Luken Tabs Broadhead, Morehart, Rios



Lompoc High football coach ROBIN LUKEN singled out defensive end SETH BROADHEAD, linebacker JAKE MOREHART, and defensive tackle GILBERTO RIOS for their play in Friday's disappointing loss to Nipomo.


"They did a great job of running around and making things happen," Luken said. "We made a lot of mistakes but those three guys did a great job."


By midday Wednesday injured tailback MASSON BLOW still had not practiced and was questionable for Friday's game with San Marcos at Huyck Stadium (to be broadcast by Press Box Productions on Comcast Channel 23). "That's our rule," Luken said. "If you don't practice by Wednesday you don't play."


Quarterback will remain in the hands of sophomore RICHARD HIRZEL, the coach continued. "He saw himself on film. He saw the mistakes he made. He'll be better." Transfer papers still had not arrived on Wednesday for quarterback DARYL AGUILAR and tailback BOBBIE COLLINS, Luken added.

BASEBALL

In major league baseball RYAN CHURCH belted his 13th home run Wednesday night agains the Marlins.... In minor league ball CHRIS WHITE went 3-for-5 Tuesday night but it was not enough to boost his Oneonta Tigers into the New York-Pennsylvania League championship series. The Tigers fell to Auburn 5-4. White batted a blazing .357 in the playoffs with a 2-for-5 game in the opener to go with the fantastic finale. It was a sensational windup after an up-and-down rookie season. White went 1-for-19 in his opening professional games with Oneonta and was sent down to the Gulf Coast League Tigers in Lakeland, Florida. There he regained his stroke and posted a .279 batting average, and was promoted back to Oneonta. In his second stint in the New York city he batted .261 though in the record books it will be combined with that let's-just-forget-it start and will appear as .197. But then came the playoffs.....
