Still Undefeated





Steve Haskins, Cabrillo Frosh Football Head Coach, pauses while collecting equipment after Thursday's 29-7 victory over Lompoc, to talk about the game.


Frosh Football
He has been a coach for a long time. Various sports, various levels; wrestling's paperwork assistant, Varsity Football Head Coach. Praised, disparaged, ignored, often unappreciated, but always remaining calm, gentlemanly, affable, and studious - as befitting a teacher of economics. Thursday afternoon we witnessed the Steve Haskins equivalent of a wild emotional outburst - "I WIIILL sleep well tonight". His freshman outfit had just defeated the visiting Lompoc Braves 29-7 to remain undefeated (7-0) on the season. The prevailing attitude on the home sideline, however, seemed more about relief than celebration as the Conquistadors were held well under their 48.8 ppg average and gave up their first points in three games.

The loss drops the Braves to 3-3, and breaks a two game win streak for Lompoc. Each team has two games remaining, both will face Santa Maria (Lompoc on the 28th, Cabrillo on Nov. 4th), before meeting in the "Little Big Game" season finale.

The Conq squad won, according to Haskins, because of "a total team effort". "We have running back by committee, Bryce Moses is our workhorse, (Alex) Greene has speed outside, (Nate) Tulloch & (Charles) Clardy both have speed and good hands. The offensive line did a tremendous job - they blocked well, they were fired up, and they just got after it. The defense played well." They also have a pretty darn good ball coach or two.

Speaking of good coaches .... Lompoc's Head Coach, Paul Terrones, a much younger version of Haskins, was disappointed, but philosophical. "We made a lot of little mistakes, and they added up. We showed we could play with them, we just have to fix the little things." Both coaches will, no doubt, be wielding their teacher's red pens over this mid-term, and looking for improvement before the November 11th, rematch final.


Game Recap
Cabrillo 29, Lompoc 7
The first quarter was scoreless, and dominated by a long (c. 8 min) Lompoc drive, but it was Cabrillo that broke the blank early in the second. A 31 yard pass to Jacob Heath set up a 2 yard TD run by Alex Green, but the extra point attempt was blocked. The Conquistador's 6-0 lead held through to halftime.

At the start of the 3rd period, the Cabrillo coaches were concerned. They were mostly worried about whether the kids were paying attention - "I've got 4th-stringers coming up to me and saying 'Can I go in now coach.' " said one assistant.

The starters stayed in, and they were rewarded when the O-line parted the blue sea for Bryce Moses to gallop up the middle for 47 yards and a TD on the opening possession of the half. The Conqs went for two, and Alex Green ran it in to make the score 14-0. Lompoc then went 3 & out, and punted, but Cabrillo muffed the punt and the Braves recovered deep in Conq territory. A few plays later, Jordan Pickles hit Vincent Raya with a TD pass. The EP was just over the crossbar, and the Braves were with-in seven points (14-7).

Cabrillo went 3 & out on their ensuing possession, but Lompoc returned the earlier favor, and muffed the punt. The Conqs recovered, and given a reprieve, took full advantage. They drove 76 yards, compiled 5 first downs, burned time off the clock, and capped it off with a 4 yard Alex Green TD run about halfway though the fourth quarter. Chase Dalton's EP kick put the home team up 21-7.

The Braves went for it on 4th & 2, the next time out, but came up short. Cabrillo took over at the Braves 33, picked 2 first downs, and then Charles Clardy reverse converted a 3rd & goal into a 4 yard TD run. The EP attempt was blocked, but the Braves were flagged for roughing, so the Conqs went for two. Alex Green was delegated the job, and again delivered the deuce for a 29-7 lead.

The Braves took to the air on the first play from scrimmage of the subsequent drive, but the pass was picked off by Nate Tullock. Cabrillo picked up three 1st downs, and took a knee - ballgame.

Santa Ynez Pirates finally put it all together in the final tournament carding a season nrecord 199 to secure the LPL crown. Three Pirates scored in the 30's, but that was not enough to derail Cabrillo's Morgan Salm. She took Medalist honors (again) by tallying a 35 - tying her season low. Not surprisingly Ms. Salm was also named LPL MVP.

Gloom in the Valley; Gloom on the Hill

It was a rather dreary, overcast day in the Lompoc Valley on Wednesday. The mid-afternoon winds appeared just long enough to push the marine layer over the top of everything. Thus insuring that the girls tennis match postponed from yesterday would finish, albeit in exiting fashion, in impending darkness. The deepest gloom in the valley, however, was emanating from the City of Lompoc Aquatic Center [COLAC].

LPL Boys Water Polo

Many Cabrillo Conquistador supporters had somewhat discounted the warning signs this year. An early 13-8 loss to the SY Pirate squad at the Conejo Valley Classic ? Three kids were out taking the ACT. Similar or slightly better results for Santa Ynez in the SLO & Oxnard Tournaments and a higher CIF ranking ? Well, the Pirates are good, but the King's of LPL polo are the Conqs - and they will be until someone knocks them off. Then came the 14-13 loss on the road to the Nipomo Titans. Hey, anyone can have a bad day, and they got off to a slow start in that one. This one ? An overtime loss at home? *Crickets*

Cabrillo, of course, is not done. There is one more round of games in the LPL round-robin duals, with Nipomo facing the Pirates, Cabrillo taking on Santa Maria, and Lompoc challenging Morro Bay, but the Conqs are almost certain to finish in 3rd place in the regular season. Then comes the LPL Tourney, where who knows what could happen. The crown has not yet been knocked completely off, but it is certainly askew.

Santa Ynez 8, Cabrillo 7 [SD-OT] {Story}
It took 7 periods, and sudden death, but a winner finally emerged.

Aaron Hay put Cabrillo on the board first, but the teams see-sawed back and forth in the opening period - each recieving goals from 3 different players for a 3-all tie. Adam Parlato scored twice in the second for the Pirates, but Hay netted another to cut the deficit to 5-4 at the half.

Cabrillo surged to a 7-5 third period lead with Emmett Hill's 2nd, and numbers 2 & 3 from Marcus Thiele, but, in the final minute, Luke Lastra hit his 2nd of the game to pull the Pirates within one.

The fourth stanza saw the Conqs return to a familiar refrain in this one - drilling shots off the net posts, meanwhile Santa Ynez was rifling shots off Cabrillo Goalie Felix Talkin, who was impressive. One of those 'posters' was on a 5-meter penalty shot early in the period. The Pirates later took advantage of a similar opportunity, as Elijah Ozimec buried his second in the net mid-way through the quarter to tie the game at 7 apiece.

There was no scoring in either 3-minute half of the regular overtime, which necessitated a third extra session - Sudden death. Cabrillo controlled the ball for much of the period, as they had since halftime, but a rebound after another shot hit the cage led to a SY fast break. That allowed Lastra was able to beat Talkin at point-blank range with the game-winner.

Santa Ynez: Goals - Luke Lastra 3, Adam Parlato 2, Elijah Ozimec 2, Luke Barber 1. Blocks - William Mann 6 .
Cabrillo: Goals - Marcus Thiele 3, Aaron Hay 2, Emmett Hill 2.

Junior Varsity
Cabrillo 7, Santa Ynez 3
The first period was very reminiscent of the varsity game - the Pirates opened the scoring, but neither team could get more than a goal ahead as the teams swapped goals and the lead, settling for a 3-3 tie. The Conqs took the lead for good with two unanswered goals in the second, and replicated the feat in the third quarter. Both units had scoring chances late, but could not convert. Cabrillo goalie Gavin Kilcoyne making consecutive great stops in the fourth.

Cabrillo 11, @ Lompoc 7
[At Dave Bickmore Courts]

The Cabrillo tennis team was bailed out, in part, by a helpful stranger passing through; exchange student Magdalena Fabikova swept, providing one of the two main impetūs for victory over the surprisingly salty Lompoc Braves. Even then, it was close - real close. The other factor ? Three sets went to extra games, one per round, with the Conqs winning all three. Cabrillo, holding a one set advantage also won the last three sets decided.

The two teams tied 3-3 in round 1, with the Conqs taking the first of those crucial contests - a 7-5 decision in the match-up of the #3 doubles. The Conqs #1 duo stopped the hosts #2's for a 4-2 second round margin, but the best match of the afternoon was in third round singles.

Nicole Nomany (LHS) and Nikki Piertsegaele (CHS) staged a classic - at 4-3, first one then the other took consecutive games, before ending up tied at 6-6. In the tiebreaker, Piertsegaele raced out to a 4-0 lead, they split two points, then engaged in a massive 40+ stroke rally eventually won by the visitor - who also captured the set.

Standouts for the Braves were Cera Mitchell/ Julie Abrego who swept three set, and Sameeha Husayn who took two sets. Lompoc tweaked its line-up a bit, moving Ashala Martin to #3 singles and filling her spot on the #2 doubles pair with frosh Marielle Tabin.

Cabrillo: Singles - Magdalena Fabikova 3-0 (6-4, 6-0, 6-1), Ashley Bowman 2-1 (3-6, 6-2, 6-4), Nikki Peirtsegaele 1-2 (1-6, 7-6 [7-1], 4-6). Doubles - Bree Piper-Williams/ Kaitlin Phillips 2-1 (3-6, 7-5, 6-0); Alena Taber/ Andrianna Siefe 1-2 (2-6, 3-6, 6-2); Lauren Dalton/ Julie de Vonage 2-1 (4-6, 6-0, 7-5).

Lompoc: Singles - Sameeha Husayn 2-1 (4-6, 6-3, 6-1), Nicole Nomany 0-3 (0-6, 2-6, 6-7[1-7]), Ashala Martin 1-2 (1-6, 4-6, 6-4). Doubles - Cera Mitchell/ Julie Abrego 3-0 (6-3, 6-2, 6-4); Emily Gracyk/ Marielle Tabin 1-2 (5-7, 6-3, 0-6); Amargiete Larios/ Catalina Perez 0-3 (0-6, 2-6, 5-7).

Black/Blue X 2, Well One Anyway...

The weather intervened in a planned double-header at Lompoc High School. The Cabrillo at Lompoc tennis match, and the reverse JV contest, were both delayed to Wednesday (20 Oct), but the JV & varsity volleyball encounters went ahead as planned in Paisola Pavillion. The other planned LPL matches were able to be played, however.

LPL Girls Volleyball
Santa Ynez is still the odds-on favorite for the championship, but after that is a free-for-all. Cabrillo stayed in the race for the 2nd spot in the LPL - but that has become very crowded territory. The 'Rock Pirates' have been messing things up lately, turning an orderly situation into chaos. Morro Bay has won 4 consecutive matches, including victories over the 3 teams (Cabrillo, Templeton, Nipomo) that were directly ahead of them in the standings.

LPL Standings (Team, LPL Record): Santa Ynez 7-0, Cabrillo 5-3, Morro Bay 5-3, Nipomo 4-3, Templeton 4-4, Santa Maria 1-6, Lompoc 1-7.

Cabrillo 3, @ Lompoc 0 {Story}
[25-18, 25-17, 25-13]
The improving Braves looked like they were capable of winning, but the Conquistadores always seemed to have one more shot in them. "We hang with them - but then they shift into another gear." according to Lompoc Head Coach Aaron Batula.

In game 1, it happened after the Braves had pulled to within a point (15-16), but were then outscored 9-2 down the stretch. Lompoc stayed with Cabrillo in game 2 until they were a point down again (18-17), but subsequent to a Conq timeout and a sideout, Cathy Lynes served 6 consecutive points to power Cabrillo to the win.

That seemed to break the Braves back, and although they continued to play hard in game #3, they were never really able to challenge Cabrillo. They stayed within 5-6 points till about midway, but the conquistadores once more hit the gas and outpaced Lompoc 13-5 to end the match.

Note: Cabrillo's Kristina Goodchild was on crutches at the match - she expects to be out about 2 weeks.

Conqs: Kiley Shae Aldridge - 21 Assists, 3 Aces, 1 Kill; Kayla Brooks - 8 Digs, 5 Kills; Felicia Bowen - 8 Kills, 4 Blocks; Nikki Friend - 4 Aces, 7 Digs; Breanna Farley - 5 Kills, 3 Blocks.

Braves: Erika Slikker - 8 Kills, 2 Aces, 8 Digs; Casey Stumpo - 2 Aces, 7 Digs; Danielle Hamon - 14 Assists; Elayna Hockett - 5 Digs.

Junior Varsity:
Cabrillo 2, Lompoc 0
[25-10, 25-22]
The first game was your standard type semi-competitive clash, but in the second game, Lompoc had a shot at the win. About halfway through they began to believe it, and shortly thereafter, so did Cabrillo. The Braves led by a pair of points on several ocassions, before the Conqs tied it at 17-all. That was the first of 5 ties, and 4 lead changes the rest of the way. The final 3-point advantage was the largest either team had after the midway point of the game.


Morro Bay 3, Nipomo 0
[25-22, 25-15, 25-19]
In the first round of LPL play the Titans swept Morro Bay 3-0. The Pirates returned the favor with a straight-set sweep over Nipomo Tuesday night..

Pirates (5-3 LPL): Olivia Watt - 9 kills, Carli Watt - 7, Kylie Gacad - 27 assists.
Titans (4-3 LPL): Sarah Stahl - 25 digs, Stephanie Persky - 6 kills.

Templeton 3, Santa Maria 0

Again, Santa Ynez is in the driver's seat for the title. Templeton eases into 2nd with Cabrillo's match being postponed. Those three figure to fight it out for CIF slots.

Meanwhile, the pecking order for the Individual LPL Title looks to be reee-aal interesting. The favorite is the SY Pirates Emily Ineman, but you also have Magdalena Fabikova (Cabrillo), Sameeha Husayn (Lompoc), Erin Roberts (Templeton), and Megan Hansen (Morro Bay). On any given day, Tessa Underwood (Nipomo), or Glenda Polancos (Santa Maria) can take you down, and there is likely some more gals out there lurking in the weeds.

LPL: Santa Ynez 8-0, Templeton 7-2, Cabrillo 6-2, Santa Maria 4-4, Morro Bay 3-6, Nipomo 1-7, Lompoc 0-8.

Morro Bay 10, Nipomo 8
Who ya gonna call ? If you're the Pirates, you call Megan Hansen who is 20-3 in the LPL this season.

Catching Up (Sort Of)


All the senior ladies ....
The five, somewhat chilly, seniors on the LHS golf squad after posting the last dual win of their high school carreers. Julieta Solis, Kalee Goethe, Stacy Green, Kelsey Kolish, and Stephanie Cardoza.



LPL Girls Golf
The LPL regular season is drawing rapidly to a close, with the final event, Tournament #6, on Thursday. It will be hosted at the Morro Bay GC by the Pirates.

@ Lompoc 319, Morro Bay 348
[At La Purisima - front 9]
It was a nice, mostly sunny day; increasingly windy late - in other words, tough golfing conditions. It is La Purisima. It was the second duals win for Lompoc. It was also the final dual match of the season for both teams, and secured fourth place in the LPL for the Braves. Baring any truly astounding events, both teams will conclude their seasons at the last LPL tourney.

Medalist - Lompoc senior Kalee Goethe's 53 was 4 strokes better than teammate Julieta Solis (57). Fellow Brave Stacy Green tied her season record 59 to become only the 3rd player in the match scoring under 60.

Team / Individual Scores
Lompoc [319]: Kalee Goethe 53, Julietta Solis 57, Stacy Green 59, Stephanie Cardoza 72, Kelsey Kolish 78.
Morro Bay [348]: Jill Steinman 60, Michelle Cordova 65, Holly Requa 67, Jennifer Baltimore 70, Cathy Duncan 86.
Each team had just 5 competitors in this match.

Santa Ynez 220, Cabrillo 251
[At Alisal Ranch, River Course - front 9]
The Pirates [14-2-1, 5-0-1 LPL Duals, 5-0 LPL Tourneys] sewed up the LPL championship a fourth consecutive year. A 261-all tie with Nipomo, when two of their regulars were out, marred Pirate perfection in the LPL. They are favored to win again on Thursday.

Medalist - Morgan Salm rebounded from Thursday's worst LPL round of her season (43), and the horribleness that is second place to tally her second best round of the season - a one-over-par 37. Five strokes better than the Pirate's Kristen Henno (42).

"Medalist Morgan" has been the Medalist in 9 of 12 rounds this fall (8 of 10 LPL), finishing 2nd in the other three. Salm also returned to the 30's - a place she has been in 9 of her 11 9-hole rounds this year.

Team / Individual Scores
Santa Ynez: Kristin Henno 42, Meredith Stewart 44, Christiana Layman 44, Maddison Shean 45, Sarah Sanger 45.
Cabrillo: Morgan Salm 37, Mariah Hall 50, Isabel Tejada 52, Jade Stevens 56, Jaqueline McDonaugh 56.

The third match, between Nipomo & Santa Maria, has not reported any results. The Saints have rarely fielded a full five this year, and the Titans may, I believe, be safely credited with the win.

Dueling Duffy's
Cabrillo grad Danny Duffy's trip with Team USA Baseball to Puerto Rico was rewarded with a Bronze medal in the qualifying tournament for both the World Championships and Pan-Am Games. However, his Dad, Cabrillo PA announcer Dan Duffy, returned from the Huntsman Senior World Games in St Georges, Utah with a Gold medal in softball. As a result, the elder Duffy gets to stay in Lompoc, while the upstart heads south to report to the Royals Arizona Fall League squad after only a few days in town.

Water Polo
Information on the three tournaments held over the weekend have less than trickled in - dripped, maybe ? This we know -

Oxnard Tourney:
Each team was slated to play 4 games - 2 each on Friday & Saturday. Neither Cabrillo or Santa Ynez finished in the top half of the 16 teams involved. Both were the #3 seeds in their respective pools, and the teams seeded ahead of them did finish in the top 8.

Santa Maria Tourney:
Nipomo dropped the Championship game 9-4 to Clovis East, who won for the 4th consecutive year, and the 7th time overall. In the semi-finals, Clovis East stopped Morro Bay 12-3, and Nipomo topped Pioneer Valley 17-2. Morro Bay (3-16) eked out a 6-5 overtime win to take 3rd place away from PV (1-12). The Panthers had previously won their first game of the year with a 7-3 over Lompoc on Friday.

Santa Maria was reported to be 0-3 in the tourney at one point. Two of those losses came on Friday - an 18-4 thumping by Nipomo, and a sudden death overtime loss to Morro Bay. Nipomo also beat Morro Bay 13-6 on Friday.

Aaaand the Winner is ....








.....Not who you think !!!!
It was a nice, relatively mild day out at La Purisima on Thursday (above) for the LPL golf gathering, but the deceptively mild-mannered looking course was the clear winner. The 'easier' front nine exacted a tax of about 5 strokes a head, driving several of the 31 competitors into unfamiliar territory.

YMCA Golf Tournament
Hopefully, though, the big winners will be the kids at the local YMCA. The 12th Annual "Kids for Character" Golf tournament is Friday, Oct 15th at the Village Country Club. Spaces are still available. Info (805) 736-3483.

LPL Tournament #5
Medalist
- The winner .... Santa Ynez Pirate Maddi Shean. She carded a 40 to beat Morgan Salm (Cabrillo) by 3, and teammate Kristen Henno by 4. It was the first tournament medalist score in the 40's and thus the highest medalist score this season.

The Pirates also took the team title, Cabrillo reclaimed 2nd place from Nipomo, and Lompoc edged Morro Bay for fourth. The Braves win set up an interesting final week in LPL play. Both Lompoc and the Bay Pirates were tied for tourney stroke average (307.75) entering this match and the teams meet twice next week. Lompoc hosts Morro Bay at La Purisima on Monday, and the regular season concludes with the final tournament at Morro Bay on Thursday.

LPL Girls Tennis
The LPL began the second round of round-robin play on Tuesday.
@ Santa Ynez 14, Cabrillo 4
Emily Ineman, the Santa Ynez #1, is a bit like an MLB closer in reverse. She enters the match early to take out the opponents top players as needed, then cedes the court to various subs to deal with the lesser lights. She is undefeated in league play this season. Cabrillo beat some of down-ballot types & subs in singles, but the doubles were skunked. Magdalena Fabikova and Nikki Peirtsegaele each won half of the Conqs four points.

Pirates [10-6, 7-0 LPL]: Emily Ineman 2-0, Katie Voorhis 1-0, Kathleen de Goede 1-1, Lauren Hemming 0-1, Sydney Tack 1-2. Heather Vellekamp/ Mylee Curtis 3-0, Bianca Capasso/ Kylie Petersen 3-0, Kat Rocha/ Breanna Bregy 2-0, Melinda Wilson/ Jana Deming 1-0.
Conqs [6-4, 6-1]: Singles - Magdelena Fabikova 2-1 (4-6 Ineman, 6-1 Kathleen DeGoede, 6-2 Sydney Tack), Ashley Bowman 0-3, Nikki Peirtsegaele 2-1. Doubles - Bree Piper-Williams/ Kaitlin Phillips 0-3, Alena Taber/Andriana Siefe 0-3, Lauren Dalton/ Julie De Vonage 0-3.

Junior Varsity
Cabrillo 13, Santa Ynez 5
This one didn't go as many expected either. Last month, JV mentor Doug Meeder regarded Cabrillo's trip to Santa Ynez as a lost opportunity. The Conqs lost 10-8, but as Meeder put it - "We left some points on the court."

This time, with a slightly revamped line-up and home-court advantage, Cabrillo clearly dominated the Pirates. They were quite competitive in most of the sets they lost, and posted a 9 - 2 advantage in sets decided by 4 games or more. Sam Warner & Alex Siefe, the #1 doubles, swept - giving up just 3 games in 3 sets.

The Conqs got off to a fast start, going 5-1 in the first round, but Meeder credited superior depth for the win. Cabrillo was 1-5 vs the Pirate #1's, but 12-0 against the rest. Santa Ynez was missing a couple of girls, but coach Meeder was undetered - "I still think we would have taken them."

Cabrillo: Singles - Kelsey Atkin 2-1 (5-7, 6-3, 6-1); Mollie Langston 1-1 (4-6, 7-6 [7-4]), Kaylin Rentschler 1-0 (6-2 , 3rd rd); Becca Robinson-Thomas 2-1 (1-6, 6-2, 6-2). Doubles - Sam Warner/ Alex Siefe 3-0 (6-2, 6-1, 6-0); Morgan Coffin/ Krystel Delos Reyes 2-1 (2-6, 6-3, 6-4); Kayla Sandoval/ Audriana Laporte 2-1 (4-6, 6-2, 6-0).

2010 Los Padres League Mid-Season All-Duals Meet
River Park, Lompoc 10/15/10 [Story]

Why "All-Duals" ? This meet is designed to replace a series of small individual dual meets (c.18)held throughout the season. The runners race as a pack, but each school is scored vs every other school as if only those two schools were participating.

However you slice it, it was a veeery gooood day for the Cabrillo Boys & the other local units did pretty also.

Each school is listed with its won-loss record for the day. Just for fun, I have also included tournament scoring results in parenthesis.

Boys Varsity
Cabrillo 6-0 (17)
Santa Ynez 5-1 (78)
Morro Bay 4-2 (86)
Lompoc 3-3 (107)

Templeton 1-5 (133)
Santa Maria 1-5 (143)

In Santa Maria's defeat of Nipomo, an initial 28-28 tie was broken by 6th runner (10-12).

Unbeliveably, this one also had a 28 all tie broken by the 6th runner - this time Cabrillo prevailed over Santa Ynez (10-13). This race was also noteworthy for who was NOT in it. Templeton's Savannah Camacho, one of the areas top harriers was reportedly ill and did not race. She wasn't alone - Lompoc's Denice Hernandez was sidelined by an injury & Santa Maria had two of its top girls missing. {Check out the 'tourney' scores on this one.}

Head coach Aaron Batula summed it up with - "Yeeech, forget that second set". Lompoc continued to show improvement, but was unable to break through for a set win. After a decent opener, the Braves briefly reverted to prior bad form in the second frame. Fortunately, the Braves showed some of their new-found resilience, and rallied to put a bit of a scare into the visiting Eagles in game three. The Eagles were trying a new offensive (5-1) set

Braves: Tawny Nunes - 5 kills, Danielle Hamon - 12 assists, Jesslyn Brundy - 4 blocks. Erika Slikker had 5 kills, and, according to Batula, an "incredible" 12 digs.

Santa Ynez 207, Santa Ma ria NS
It was a topsy-turvy day for the Pirates, the usual bottom of the line-up carded some of their best rounds of the year, while the top was a smidgeon off the pace. It made no real difference scorewise, but Santa Ynez finished one stroke off the team's course record set on September 9th.

Meredith Stewart won Medalist honors with a 3 over par 39, helped in large measure by nailing a 22-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole. She became the 4th Pirate to shoot an LPL score in the 30's this season, and 2nd place Sarah Sanger flirted with the 30's recording a round of 40.
