Water-full Wednesday and Taua Too

Ainuu Taua poses with a fan after the Braves beat St Francis

Ainuu Taua, a junior at Lompoc High School, was named to the LA Times high school football All-Star team.

Taua, who played all along the defensive front for the Braves and alternated at TE and sometimes stepped in at FB, was cited by the paper for his work on the Defensive Line.

"Line: Ainuu Taua, Lompoc, 6-1, 285, Jr. Using strength, size and agility, Taua was an imposing figure in the middle for the 12-1 Braves while stamping himself as a top recruit for 2014. He had seven sacks."

GIRLS WATER POLO

Los Padres League

The LPL water polo community is slowly starting to rebuild. The six teams (Templeton doesn't have aquatics programs) are emerging from a period of coaching retirements and other turnovers, declining numbers, and the aging/deterioration of facilities.

Cabrillo has been strong for years, with a tradition of coaching support and development and a nice pool facility to call home. Lompoc hired Jeff Storie a few months ago to oversee the revitalization of their aquatics programs, and both local schools have access to the "new" City of Lompoc Aquatic Center. Santa Maria opened a new on-campus facility about a month back, and Santa Ynez has been discussing improvements/renovations at the pool there. Nipomo, which opened in 2002, had a new on-campus pool as part of its construction  and the Titans have seen their program grow in recent years.

That leaves Morro Bay, where there is NO pool, although they can occasionally use Hardie pool in Cayucos or the pool at Cuesta College near SLO, etc. . The Morro Bay Community Pool Foundation is working to build a facility in Morro Bay for all to use, but these thing take time.

There are growing pains associated with these developments, one of which was demonstrate on Wednesday. Morro Bay finally has a sufficient number (barely) of girls participating in the program to form a JV squad for the 1st time in a while. Both the varsity and the JV, who were playing their 1st contest of the season, were over-matched by the Conquistadores, but you have to start somewhere.

at Cabrillo 19, Morro Bay 3
[C: 7,3,5,4 - 19  MB: 0,1,1,1 - 3]

Morro Bay had 8 girls available to play in this one, Cabrillo had 18. The Cabrillo starters were in until they went up 5-0 with 4:35 remaining in the 1st quarter. 5 of the 6 field players were pulled, as was the GK at the end of the period. The GK stayed out for the remainder, but the starters returned for about 2 and a half minutes in the third period to work on several specific plays. They scored 2 more goals during that span, but passed up another half dozen shots.

Everybody for Cabrillo played, and 10 scored, everybody for Morro Bay played, and 2 scored. The Pirates 1st goal was at 4:30 of the 2nd period. They would score 3, but have several more hit the posts & crossbar. The Cabrillo net-minders also had 6 saves, none of which were very strenuous. The Pirates played hard, the Conqs played well, and hopefully both sides improved for the next time.

Conqs [8-2]: Goals - Natalie Wilkie 4, Sophie Hill 4, Tancy Aldridge 3, Lisa Lu 2; 1 each - Eleesha Rodriguez, Sam Carroll, Sydney Ross, Kayla Menjivar, Samantha Munoz, Kaleena Smith. Saves - Jayden Pickles (1st Q) 2, Demi Ames (2-4 Qtrs) 4.
Pirates : Goals - Ruby Young 2, Katie White 1. Saves - Cassidy Stephens 2.

Junior Varsity

at Cabrillo 18, Morro Bay 3
[C: 6,8,1,3 - 18  MB: 0,1,1,1 - 3]
This was much like the varsity game which preceded it. The Pirates had 7 players (no subs), Cabrillo 18 again. Morro Bay scored 3 times, the 1st at 2:33 of the 2nd period. Cabrillo had wholesale substitutions of 3-6 players at a time, trying players at all kinds of different positions. Conq Coach David Riley twice called time-outs when his squad had 3-1 or better break-aways (only one was granted before a shot), and at one point decreed that only Freshmen could shoot the ball.

The officials and coaches also agreed to overlook a MB player fouling out in the 1st quarter, and instituted a form of running clock early in the 2nd half. Eleven Cabrillo players scored, only one in more than one quarter.

Conqs [5-1]: Goals - Lili Talkin 4 (the 1st 4 of the game), Grace Robson 3, Michayla Owens 2, Meagan Vail 2; 1 each - Meagan Stevens, Sierra Rehmke, Abi Stangl, Caitlyn Petterson, Katrina Ryker, #15 Unknown, Liz Brown. Saves - Kinsley Edman (1-3rd Q's) 7, Caitlyn Petterson (4th Q) 0.
Pirates : Goals - Scarlett Beacham, Sammi Senet, Sophie Nelson. Saves - [Taryn Nunes ?] 6.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Los Padres League

at Lompoc

Templeton 52, at Lompoc 38

[T: 5,18,15,14 - 52   L: 9,7,8,14 - 38]

This was actually a pretty competitive game, but Lompoc's inability to hit lay-ups and short jumpers was decisive. The Braves raced out to a 7-0 lead, and led until 2:37 of the 2nd period, when Mari Stewart hit 2 FT's to put the Eagles ahead. Templeton got back in the game, and started to dominate, when the Braves shooting ability departed the building.

The Braves defense created turnovers with regularity, but they missed an estimated 20+ lay-ups, about a dozen in the 3rd period alone. Emblematic was one possession in the 3rd period when Lompoc had a break-away for a lay-up. It was missed - as were several subsequent shots, none longer than 14" from the hoop. The Braves then fouled the Eagles player that finally got a rebound. More often a Lompoc miss would ignite a successful Eagles fast break

Perhaps fatigue played a role, as the Braves only had 7 players available for the game. One factor that definitely played a part was the performance by Eagles post player Mari Stewart. She played the last 9 minutes of the game with 4 fouls, and was quite effective.

Braves skipper Claudia Terrones summed it up - "We never gave up, we played hard, and in the the end it was the missed lay-ups that killed us.", but, she vowed, "We'll be ready the next time."

Braves [0-1 LPL, 4-5]: Arianna Espinosa 9 (1x3), Lexie Barbosa 8, Riley Sager 7, Chrisshnay Brown 7, Precilla Castellanos 4 (1x3), Shy'anne Dean 3.

Eagles [1-0 LPL, 8-1]: Mari Stewart 17, Marissa Torres 15, Autumn Russell 8, Megan Hattar 6, Paige O'Sullivan 4, Melat Zippi 2.

Junior Varsity

at Lompoc 48, Templeton 47

[L: 10,12,14,12 - 48   T: 5,12,16,14 - 47]

During volleyball season, I kept telling folks to "Get there early, since the JV/Frosh usually has the best games." That applies to the hoops teams as well. Lompoc scrapped and clawed its way to a win by a single point at Paisola Pavilion Tuesday evening. It wasn't pretty. There were scads of fouls, turnovers galore, and bodies flying all over the place. Not surprisingly FT shooting made a difference. The Braves hit 11-22 (7-11 1st half) while the Eagles shot 9-22 (4-11 1st half). Two points have special significance when you win by one.

Powered by a high-octane defense the Braves were able to double up on the Eagles in the 1st period, but that was only a 5 point margin. It looked like they would increase that a bit headed into the halftime break, but Savannah Spinharney dropped in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to keep the difference at five. 

The Eagles nipped at Lompoc's heels throughout the 3rd quarter, as the Braves lead mostly fluctuated between 1 and 4 points. At one point, Spinharney hit a 3 to close to one, but Aryana Lovingood immediately answered with a trey of her own. At the end of the quarter, the lead had been trimmed to 3 points.

In the 4th, Lompoc pushed the margin back to 4, but then got sloppy with the ball. Steal, bucket 40-38, turnover, bucket, 40 all. A few more errors, 40-44, but luckily Templeton missed some FTs that kept the Braves close. At the 3:19 mark, Eagle starter Ajar Kelley fouled out, but they still led by 3 (41-44) at the 2 minute mark. A Destiny Coggins FT got Lompoc to with-in 2, but an Eagles basket put the visitors back up 4. Then it got interesting. 

With 1:19 left, Lovingood hit a circus shot off a rebound in the lane. The Braves managed a defensive stop, and Lovingood was fouled on the next possesion, but missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Spinharn was fouled their next trip down the floor, hitting the first of 2 FTs, but missing the 2nd. Mere seconds later, Lovingood was fouled again, but after shooting 3-3 from the line in the 1st half, missed again. She stayed with it, however, and stole the ball from the Eagle rebounder and scored to pull the Braves up to a 1 point deficit.

Templeton missed several shots and there was a mad scramble for the ball, with Lompoc players saving it on the endline, and twice miraculously on the sidelines. Lovingood drove the lane with 17 seconds left, and missed the shot, but was fouled by Spinharney. It was her 5th, and she was gone. Lovingood potted the 1st for the tie, but missed the 2nd. Bree Benetes, however, snagged the rebound, and was fouled on the putback with 0:14 on the clock. Benetes missed the first, but put Lompoc back in the lead with the 2nd. With 9 seconds remaining, the defense forced another turnover, ran out the clock.

As one observer put it - "It wasn't good , but it was exciting."

Braves [6-3]: Aryana Lovingood 21 pts (2x3, 5-8 FT); Destiny Goggins 9 pts (5-6 FT); Bella Almanza 9 pts; Mika Bratley 4, Makenna Blanco 2, Jocelyn Mata-Taylor 2, Bree Benetes 1, Genneice Wilson 0.
Eagles : Savannah Spinharney 18, Daijah Bridge 13, Suzannie Marshall 5, Kaly Tomasini 4, Marie Solis 2, Makenna Grey 2, Jessica Neal 2, Karlie Delisle 1.

GIRLS SOCCER

The Conquistador girls took to the road (Orange County) to play two squads ranked in CIF-SS Div 5, and proved that they could compete with both of them. It was, however, a bit anti-climatic, since they tied both of them. They are now 3-2-2 on the season.

[Fri] Cabrillo 1, St Margarets 1 [Tie]

As Coach Wong reported on the CHS Girls's Soccer site - 

"In a battle of Division 5 Top 10 teams, it was only fitting the game ended in a draw.

With an intense playoff type of atmosphere, spurred by the play on the field and a boisterous St. Margaret's student section, the Conqs and Tartans traded blows on the field. 

The Tartans scored first in the tenth minute on a shot that just cleared Conq keeper Kiki Miller.
The last 15 minutes of the 1st half, the Conqs began putting pressure and created a near scoring opportunity. 

The 2nd half the Conqs amped up the pressure, and tied the game in the 52min, when pressure by Kelsey Sherry forced a turnover by a Tartan defender, and Kelsey broke in on the Tartan keeper and placed a shot across the goal that hit the post and in. 

Kelsey almost had the game winner late in the game with a good strike on goal.
The defense of Sydney Townes, Athena Nava, Carley Chatterley, Destiny Shott, Emma Fienga, and Brianna Farley was outstanding.

The game was very physical but also a great display of soccer by both teams."

GIRLS SOCCER

at Cabrillo HS
Cabrillo 2, Lompoc 0
   "We played well. Well, we played better than last week." was the way Cabrillo Head Coach Derrick Wong summed up the game. Granted it wasn't the finest performance the Conqs have ever had, still, for a team looking for wins, this was a big one. Starting league play with a victory is always nice, and beating your rival never hurts, either.

For the Braves it was a decent performance against a good team, but they continue to have difficulty finding the interior of the net.

Conqs : Goals (Assists) - Marissa Reyna  (46th - Kelsey Sherry), Kelsey Sherry (55th - Audriana LaPorte). Saves - Kiki Miller (80min) 2.
Braves : Goals (Assists) - None. Saves - Information Not Provided.

Junior Varsity 
Lompoc 2, Cabrillo 0
   The Braves parlayed goals by Serenda Cervantes and Vanessa Ochoa into a win. Stout back-line play by Gabby Andrade, Brenda Cortez, and Naomi Monroy, combined with effective goaltending for the shutout. Mercedes Signorelli handled the net-minding, and although not challenged a lot, was credited with 3 saves.

BOYS SOCCER

at Lompoc HS
Cabrillo 3, Lompoc 1
After three goals in the first 8 minutes, things settled down considerably. Cabrillo struck, and the Braves answered almost immediately, but the Conqs struck again. Neither side did much the rest of the half. Cabrillo  again netted a goal early in the second and Lompoc couldn't get the ball by Michael Lowes, who was a bit under siege late in the game. Lowes responded with a great effort, stopping, by one count, 9 shots in the second half - including a penalty kick.

Conquistadors [3-4-2]:  Goals (Assists) - Adrian Diaz (3rd - Free Kick), Kyle Townsend (Adrian Diaz), Stephan Dalton (45th - Eduardo Cardenas). Saves - Michael Lowes 11.
Braves [1-6]:  Goals (Assists) - Ricky Reyes (Header; 5th Chris Palacios). Saves - Omar Monay [1H] 2, Oscar Ramirez [2H] 2.


Junior Varsity
Lompoc 2, Cabrillo 2 [TIE]
Kids on both sides were unhappy with this outcome.

Conqs : Goals (Assists) - Isaac Sanchez, Erik Buenrostro. Saves - According to GK Edwin Casteneda "Plenty, but not enough."

Tennis Coaches

The area coaching community has experienced a shake-up recently, with changes including - 

1.) Orcutt Academy and Girls Head Coach Patrick Ortiz parting ways after 5 years [STORY]

2.) The retirement of Santa Barbara HS Boys and Girls Head Coach Steve Geremia. Geremia was at the helm for 8 years. He was named Div 2 Coach of the Year twice, and was a State Coach of the Year Finalist twice.

After 5 years as an assistant to Sinclair Bil he took over the Girls program in 2005, reaching the CIF Section Finals in 2006 and winning the Finals in 2011. He had also moved from assistant to Head Boys in 2004, replacing Aaron Webster. He took the boys to Section Finals in 2005, 2008, and 2010. 

He started coaching in 1964 (Menlo College tennis), and has been associated with SBHS Athletics since 1988. He was a soccer assistant for several years, and the Head Coach for eight.

3.) SBCC Men's Tennis Coach Ryan Heinberg left the program to persue "other opportunities", and now the Athletic Department has suspended the program "indefinitely". [STORY]

Boys Basketball Tournaments 12-18 Dec 2012

Cabrillo Head JV Coach Brian Sharpe Ponders the Mysteries of the Teen-age  Mind

BOYS BASKETBALL

Lompoc is at Pacifica (Wed-Sat), Cabrillo at Carpinteria (starting Friday), and both are at the VOTF JV tourney held at Cabrillo (Thur - Sat).


NOTE: The "Australians" noted in the listings for both the NPC and the VOTF are from the Australian Basketball College, a subsidiary of the Australian Basketball Digest. The ABC is primarily what we would call an academy, although they also have a "Post-Graduate Academy". Both are focused on preparing young hoopsters for the US collegiate system.

The College is currently located in the Melbourne area of Victoria, Australia, with campuses both in Melbourne and the suburb of Waverly, but they also have plans to open 4 new sites in locations around the country - including Sydney and Perth. This last fall the organisation started

They brought 3 teams to the Central Coast for the weekend. A 'senior' team that played at the NPC (2-1), BC1 which also played at the NPC (0-3), and BC2 which played a non-tournament game at the NPC and 3 times at the VOTF (3-1). The teams mainly consist of what we would call 10th - 12th graders, and are coached by former NBA player Sedale Threatt and his son, current pro Sedale Threatt, Jr. [STORY]

NOTE 2: I will be adding much more material on the Valley Of The Flowers JV Tournament - including pictures and (hopefully) video.

Although it was tight late, St. Joseph led or were tied the entire game against the defending San Diego Section Div.3  champions. St Joseph had leads of 13-0, 29-18 (halftime), and 38-21, but a 19-2 spurt by the Dons evened the score at 40 two minutes into the 4th quarter.

Game 14 - 2:30 :   Arroyo Grande 67, Santa Ynez  27

Santa Barbara 48, Cabrillo 40
Cabrillo coach Gary West knows his guys can play better, "We probably missed a dozen lay-ups, had over 20 turnovers, and were 5-13 shooting free throws." He was heartened, however, by two factors.

The first, that in spite of the myriad mistakes his team made, they were still in the game against a "team that was supposed to blow us out" right to the end. With less than a minute remaining, the Conqs were down 3 just points with possession of the ball, but "We turned it over and had to start fouling."

The second thing? "These kids played really, really hard."
Conqs [3-4]: Chad Brodhead , Michael Woodard 12, Josh West 7.

Fillmore 62, Nipomo 58
[F: 15,10,18,19 - 62  N: 17,15,11,15 - 58]
Close, but no Cee-gar again, as the Titans gave back a 7 pt halftime advantage in the 3rd period.
Flashes [3-9]: Jalen Rhoades 22 pts (9-13 FT), Jorge Ruiz 21 pts.
Titans [1-11]: Kaileb Mendez 24 (4x3), Freddy Ruiz 12, Quintin Bland 10.

Rio Mesa 67, Bishop Diego 49
Apparently, Rio Mesa didn't need Anthony Teart on Saturday.
Spartans [3-4]: Martel Tyler 23, Erick Zambrano 12 (2 stls), Reggie Dixon 9
Cardinals : Caleb Richey 25, Thomas Lash 11.

San Marcos 63, Channel Islands 54

Cabrillo 82, Orcutt 28
Another rough outing for the Spartans. This time it was the Conqs that rolled them early, taking a 17 point 1Q lead (29-12) and cruising into halftime up 32 (51-19). 10 Cabrillo players scored, and the team hit 13 treys.
Conqs [4-4]: Aaron Abayari 18 (4x3); Chad Brodhead 14, Josh Harris 12, Michael Woodard 11.

A quick 18-4 lead at the end of one was a harbinger of hoops to come.
Titans [1-12]: Freddy Ruiz 11 pts.

Santa Barbara 56, Arroyo Grande 54 [SF]
Tie ball game, 4th quarter, 7 ticks on the game clock with fewer on the shot clock, and Brendan Fay's pass finds Jeff Paschke who lays it in to put the Dons up two. The ensuing AG long range trey attempt, they did hit 9, missed and Santa Barbara had the victory.

Dons : Jack Baker 16, Jeff Paschke 15, Emilio Gonzalez 12.
Eagles : Brennan Rivera 15, Matt Wilkinson 12.


San Marcos 43, Rio Mesa 38 [SF]
[SM: 5,13,13,12 - 43  RM: 8,12,10,8 - 38]

A great performance by Bryce Ridenour, especially at the line, propelled the Royals to their second win of the season over the Spartans. This one was much closer than that earlier 71-54 Royal win.

San Marcos only had 1 FG in the 4th period, and the Spartans thrice cut the lead to 2 pts last 2 minutes, but Ridenour hit 7-8 FT down the stretch to ice it.
Royals [8-4]: Bryce Ridenour 16 pts (9-10 FT), 8 stls.
Spartans [3-5]: Martel Tyler 17, Reggie Dixon 10.

After Carp took a big lead in the 1st half, but the Rangers whittled away at it - outscoring the hosts 48-24 in the 2nd half. A Jake Boyd trey pulled them within a single point (63-62) with 1:23 on the 4th quarter clock.

Valley Of The Flowers Boys JV Basketball Tournament

Thursday, 13 Dec. 2012

3:00 : Santa Maria 56, Orcutt Academy 10
It could be a very long year for the Spartans.
4:30 : Arroyo Grande 58, Lompoc 46
They Braves staged a late comeback to make this one look better.
6:00 : San Luis Obispo 69, Nipomo 40
The Titans made it interesting for a while, but the Tigers size was unanswerable.
7:30 : Cabrillo 61, Bishop Diego 44
[C: 8/14/19/20 - 61  BD: 7/11/18/8]
Cabrillo would surge, and the Cardinals would reel them back in. With 6:20 left in the 4th, Bishop pulled with-in a bucket (43-41) on a long trey. Cabrillo finally woke up and at the 4:55 mark led by 10 (51-41), pulling away to a 15 (59-44) point margin with 2:01 remaining.

Friday, 14 Dec. 2012

2:30 : Pioneer Valley 65, Orcutt Academey 16
[PV: 7,24,20,14 - 65  OA: 5,4,7,0 - 16]
A very, very long year.

4:00 : Santa Maria 46, Bishop Diego 41
[SM: 13,12,10,11 - 46   BD: 12,8,9,12 - 41]

5:30 : Santa Barbara 57, Lompoc 51
[SB: 10,13,13,21 - 57     L: 11,9,18,13 - 51]
Despite a monster performance by B.J. Taylor, Lompoc shot themselves out of this one at the line. They were 13-28 (46%) from the stripe, the Dons were 10-11 (91%). Let's just say that the Dons weren't too upset at foul calls when they hacked a shooter in the 4th.
Braves : B.J. Taylor 26 (10-15 FT), J. O'Byrne 12 (2-3 FT), Darius Dunston 4, Gabe Simon 2, C.  Maxwell 2, Austin Hayes 2, J. Osegueda 2, Rudy Venegas 1.
Dons : Andrew 16 (2x3, 4-4 FT), Jad 12 (1x3, 1-1 FT), Max 10 (2x3), Chris 5 (1x3), Anthony 4 (2-2 FT), Russ 3 (1x3), Jacob 2, David 2 (2-2 FT).

08:00 : Santa Maria 31, Pioneer Valley 25
[SM: 8,7,8,8 -31  PV: 9,2,7,7 - 25]

09:30 : Arroyo Grande 43, Nipomo 35
[14,12,10,7 - 43  N: 13,5,4,13 - 35]

11:00 : Lompoc 59, Pioneer Valley 29
[L: 15,10,14,20 - 59  PV: 11,10,5,3 - 29]
B.J. Taylor missed this one, having been promoted to Varsity. The Braves FT shooting was still anemic (10-22: 1H 4-12, 2H 6-10), but their 2nd half defense (8 pts) and interior passing ware outstanding. They also did a good job of penetrating the lane for the bucket and the foul, but alas ... those pesky FT's. 

Lompoc committed just 10 fouls (1H 4, 2H 6) in the game, the first occurring with 5 seconds left in the 1st. PV was 10-18 at the line (1H 6-8, 2H 4-8), and only had 2 FG after halftime.

The biggest celebration occurred at the very end of the game, when Cody Bommersbach, the last player off the bench, drained a three at the buzzer to become the 9th Brave to score. 

Braves : Gabe Simon 14, C. Maxwell 14 (2x3), Darius Dunson 11, J. O'Byrne 5, J. Osegueda 4, Ruben Venegas 3 (1x3), Cody Bommersbach 3, Ricky Foster 3 (1x3), B. Osborne 2.
Panthers : Madrigal 8 (2-2 FT), Diaz 4, Haldeman 4, A. Gonzalez 3 (1x3), Angulo 3 (3-4 FT), Pinheiro 3 (1-2 FT), Camacho 2 (2-2 FT), Lear 1 (1-2 FT), Coronan 1 (1-2 FT).
