The Good, the Bad, and the ...

The Good

Jozza Ray (left, in headband) appears to be headed to the 5-time National Champion Trinity Valley Community College Lady Cards hoops squad come this fall. The LHS senior has reportedly been offered a full ride scholarship to the Athens, TX school and is being flown out to the school to "check out the campus" following her upcoming graduation.


TVCC won 4 Championships from 1994 to 1999 with two runner-up finishes, and won another in 2004 under current Head Coach Michael Landers. The Cardinals recruit all over the country, with members of the 10-player 2007-08 unit coming from Virginia, Ohio, Minnesota, and four from California. Dozens of students from the school have transferred to major 4-year institutions, including many in the SEC, Big 12, Big 10, Conf USA, WAC, etc. .

LHS students Alberto Vasquez and Josh Taninowitz finished in an outstanding 3rd place in the California Regional in the Ford / AAA Motor Skills Challenge earlier this month, making them two of the top auto mechanic students in the country. Way to go guys !!!

And it was announced at the recently held FFA Division (7 High Schools) Banquet, Lily Van Cleave of Lompoc FFA won the Division I Work Experience Award.

The Bad


Ryan Church was held out of the game again on Wednesday due to continuing problems resulting from the concussion he sustained last week.
Since his arrival, Fernando Tatis has been playing well - mostly at third-base. But his move to right field for Church had been rather bumpy, including being hitless in Wednesdays game when he came to bat in the bottom of the twelfth with runners on the corners. His two-run double sent the crowd home from Flushing in a celebratory mood. Church is still day-to-day.


The Boyer

(You were thinking of something else perhaps ?)


Cabrillo AD Bob Boyer has submitted to the retirement machinery after 38 years, but don't expect to see much less of him at the school. He'll still be lurking around the school, and likely doing some more coaching. Good luck in "retirement", Bob.

Oh, and Conquistadors need not worry. Regardless of whom the AD is, the Athletic Office will still be in the more than capable hands of Patty Darr.
[Just Kidding, Bob. Sort of.]---- el stato
