The football players don't have the practice concept to themselves - girls volleyball, cross-country, girls golf, and girls tennis, are all preparing for the fall season. The Cabrillo HS JV volleyball team (photo) already appear in sync.
FOOTBALL
Lompoc Strongman Competition
The Lompoc football team will hold its Strongman Competition fundraiser tonight at 7 p.m. at Huyck Stadium. The cost for admission is $5 with children under 6 free.
The competition is a fundraiser for the football team and features seven teams of six players.
Head Coach Robin Luken has strenuously denied that there will be a coaches team competing, but we continue to hope.
Strongman Competitions, popular on the East Coast, feature eight events, including the Farmer’s Walk, Tire Turn, Dead Lift, Sled Push, Log Press, Keg Carry and Telephone Pole Carry.
The Pole Carry will be the final event of the night and consists of participants carrying a 10-foot pole around the entire track (440 yards).
42nd Annual Kiwanis SB Co. All-Star Game/ Football CD's
Although there was not a large valley contingent playing in the game, notable performances were turned in by Favi Vargas & Nick Rotondi at linebacker, while Saul Dominguez on the D-line and Scott Aguailar at cornerback had extensive action. Brandon Whittaker returned a few kicks that were squibbed to avoid them going deep to Aguailar. Sean Allen was granted a minimal number of plays at QB, as the North fell 26-24 to the South to even the Series 19-19-4.
For those who would like to have a CD of the game, LHS football headman Robin Luken taped the entire game and it is now available. In addition, two LHS compilation CD's, "Greatest Offensive Plays" & "Greatest Hits", have also been released. Both of these CD's cover the period from 1991-2008. Contact coach Luken at Lompoc HS for more information.

Lompoc Smashers
The Lompoc Smashers 12U All-Star softball team started early on day two in Milwaukie, Oregon.
After winning Monday's first pool 'D' game, 4-2 over the Oregon Fever, the Smashers defeated Elk Grove 5-2, in an 8 a.m. game on an artificial field.
Angelina Melgoza led the offense - rapping two hits and scoring from third on a wild pitch, while Sydney Townes singled in a run. The squad also collected hits from Jenna Grossini, Trista Berryman, Wendy Rubio and Ali Nelson, and RBI's from Nelson and Megan Green.
It was also a good day for the battery, starter Madison McNamee earned the win in four innings and helped her own cause with an RBI sacrifice bunt, before turning the circle over to Trista Berryman. Each pitcher registered a strikeout, while catcher Wendy Rubio, threw out a base-runner on a steal attempt and tagged a runner out at home on Nelson's throw from centerfield.
Championship bracket play begins today, but the Smashers 1st place performance in pool 'D' helped earn them a 1st round bye. They are scheduled to play Thursday at 6 pm against the winner of the Chaos / North Shore Gold match-up. Both of those squads were 3rd place finishers in their respective pools.
