The sports budget cuts in the LUSD have claimed a major casualty - Lompoc HS Athletic Director Jesse Davis (above right). "I just can't do the job the way they have re-structured it.", he explained after confirming his departure. The position this fall will be a teacher/AD combination, with the AD also having 3-4 instruction periods during the school day. Davis claimed he is 'simply not organised enough' to deal with the classroom periods, the administrative workload, the evening/nighttime AD requirements, and the need for lesson preparation the night before classes - especially since both secretaries in the Activities/Athletics Office have been reduced to half-time.
It had been hoped that Davis, arguably the most successful coach in valley high school history while at CHS, would be a stabilizing force as the LHS AD following a revolving door in the post for several years after Brian Ayer was forced to resign by the cancer that ultimately took his life. He, however, leaves the job after only two years. A very effective two years, but ones which were just starting to show fruit.
The search for a replacement has reached the interview stage, but no information has been released about the candidates, except that they are all current LUSD employees. The AD post test program at that began this Cabrillo has another year to run and is not expected to be effected until 2010. That 2-year experiment converted the AD post to an administrator position now held by Bob Lawrence, who is nearing retirement age.
What will Jesse do next year ? "I'll be teaching in a classroom at some school somewhere." When asked about coaching, he replied "Well, --- I'll see what's available".

Santa Maria vs. Cabrillo @ VCC
The Cabrillo squad put up a 240 score in good conditions at the VCC. There was some wind early, but the match concluded under calm though overcast skies. An already short-handed Santa Maria crew was forced to take a 'no score' when one of their players inadvertently played an improper ball and was subsequently disqualified. Aaron Hay (41) narrowly edged Steven Jeffers (42) for Medalist Honors

San Marcos [7-7] 12, Lompoc [8-6] 6
The Braves collected wins by Kyle Thumm & Robert Rodriguez in singles, while the #1 doubles duo, Alex Jensen/Joel Martin swept. Cooper Barrick & Oscar Rodriguez collected the other Lompoc point. Coach Loretta Jensen was pleased with the team's effort, noting that the two matches against upper division schools coming out of the Spring break were excellent tune-ups before diving back into LPL play.
Santa Ynez 16, Cabrillo 2
The Pirates continued ransacking the Los Padres League. Singles #1 Miles Seemann kept up his torrid pace - dropping no games in his two sets, and Cutis Cole / Austin White [the #1 doubles tandem] lost just 3 games while sweeping three sets. The Conqs received points from James Jeon in singles and doubles pair Arjun Ayyar - Jordan Daniels.
