Belmont Shore Beauty Shows Savvy On SidelinesBy JJ FiddlerSPORTS EDITOR

“Everything happens for a reason,” says Fox NFL sideline reporter and Long Beach State alumni Drea Avent — and she would know. Twice in the last two years the Belmont Shore resident has been forced to leave a good job, only to fi nd a better one waiting for her. “It’s all worked out, and I can’t see myself doing anything else.” Avent, originally from the South Bay, is a self-proclaimed sports nut and says she’s more than comfortable with sideline duties on a Sunday afternoon. Naturally beautiful, energetically

outgoing and of African-Ameri-can and Shawnee Indian decent, she knows the challenges of being a good-looking woman of color in a business full of white males. “It’s all about credibility,” says Avent, who learned about all sports from her father, and doesn’t mind being called a tomboy. “I know what I’m talking about and I work hard at it… If you look a certain way, you have to work harder, and I thrive on that pres-sure.” After graduation from Long Beach State in 2004, Avent felt the pressure of the continually shrinking job market for on-air talent.

While working as a nanny/babysitter in Bixby Knolls, she would send one resume and video reel a week to a different small market around the country. Fi-nally, in 2006 the San Antonio Fox affi liate called back, and a few weeks later Avent was in a city she had never been to before, living in a hotel while reporting/writing/shooting/producing con-tent for the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Cowboys and The Univer-sity of Texas. “It was stressful,” Avent says. “I was carrying around this huge camera, trying to do all these jobs at once… When (Spurs head

Two-Sport StarEnjoys Chance ForChampionships

Baseball players have fall leagues, bas-ketball players hoop all summer, and spring has become a proving ground for football. With sports’ schedules wrapping around the entire 12-month calendar, high school sportswriters have all but penned the obituary for the multi-sport standout. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day, or perhaps seasons in the year, for a serious athlete to dedicate himself or her-self to more than one craft anymore — not if they want a scholarship, or a starting spot on a varsity team. But please, please, please — nobody tell Roschon Prince any of that. The Poly junior, whom coaches have called a throwback in terms of his work ethic, his attitude, and his pride in his school, is trying to break the mold. The starring forward on the Jackrabbits’ bas-ketball team is now contributing on the football fi eld in a big way. The reason is blessedly simple. After helping the Jack-rabbits win a CIF championship last year as a sophomore, Prince wants more. “I want to help Poly win as many cham-pionships as I can while I’m here,” he says. There are, of course, other athletes who play more than one sport. Last year at Lake-wood, Tyler Schultz was the starting QB on the football team, and the starting catcher on the baseball team, and Millikan’s Alex Antonaras is on the baseball and water polo teams at his school. What separates Prince is that he’s a top-level Division One athlete, in just about any sport he wants. He’s rated by ESPN as one of the Top 50 recruits in the country for basketball,

The Lakewood football program went through wholesale changes this offseason with the departure of six-year head coach Thadd MacNeal and nine NCAA Division 1 scholarship athletes who played in back-to-back CIF Pac-5 Semifi nals. Many local football fans predicted a re-turn to mediocrity for the Lancers. How-ever, fi rst-year head coach Vince Loben-dahn, fi rst-year offensive coordinator Zack LaMonda and transfer quarterback Brock Dale have Lakewood tied atop the Moore League with a 5-1 record — just in time for the Moore League Super Bowl against Poly on Friday night (7 p.m.) at Veterans Memorial Stadium. But whatever you do, don’t call it begin-ners luck. “Oh, we’ve been around,” Lobendahn said after his team beat Compton 54-0 last week. “I was in the press box at Vets in 2009 (as an assistant line coach) when we beat (Poly) and we’ve got kids on this team who know what that felt like. Heck, (LaM-onda) has never lost to Poly.” LaMonda, who won two CIF rings at Servite High School, brought that spread/pistol offensive look with him to Lakewood this summer, just in time to hand the reins to the senior transfer Dale. In six games, he has racked up 1,006 yards passing to go with 13 touchdowns and just four intercep-tions while completing 60% of his passes. The 6’0”, 180 lbs. Dale is a natural signal caller with impeccable leadership skills, and that’s why Lobendahn and LaMonda awarded him the starting job after compet-ing all summer with relative strangers. “It wasn’t that bad,” Dale says of

transferring from his hometown school, Palos Verdes Peninsula, because his family moved, and arriving in Lakewood this sum-mer. “The receivers like Malik Gilmore, Darius Powe, Jeremy McNichols were very supportive and the coaches did a good job of giving me stuff slowly.” A lifelong quarterback, Dale only lost five games in seven sea-sons as a Palos Verdes 49er Pop Warner signal caller and started on the varsity level at Peninsula as a sophomore. “We didn’t win a lot of games, but it was a good group of kids working hard and I learned a lot,” says Dale, who threw for 1,597 yards and 10 touchdowns over two seasons in a run-heavy of-fense. “We had to get through different adversity every week and as a quarterback you have to be a leader, and I learned how to be a leader there.” Those lessons came in handy during the third game of this sea-son at Mayfair. Trailing by three in the first half, a Dale pass to the

left sideline floated, and Keenan Wright snatched it and sprinted to paydirt for the Monsoons, giving Mayfair a 17-7 lead. Lobendahn had previously used his other quarterback, Chris Bell, for a full half against Locke in week one, per the plan, and he said that there were those on the Lakewood sideline who wanted him to go to Bell after the mistake by Dale, who to that point was 4/8 for 36 yards with the pick. “But I said, ‘If I pull him on two mistakes, I’ve got to pull ev-eryone on two mistakes,’” Loben-dahn said. “I knew he’d get back with it.” Dale did exactly that, and on the very next drive, which ended on an 18-yard pass up the middle to McNichols. Then Dale mustered his strength, and capped his team’s next drive with a 41-yard touch-down pass to Gilmore, to give his team the 23-21 lead. He would go on to finish with 151 yards passing and three touchdowns in a 42-29 victory. “To be great, you have to play under pressure,” Dale said after the game. “These guys are my

brothers, and my family — I put us in a hole and I had to fight for them… My time at Peninsula had me ready for that moment. You always have another opportunity to make it right. My teammates supported me, and I supported them.” That sentiment is apropos for a kid who calls Tom Brady his favorite quarterback. “His calm-ness and demeanor, it’s unique,

and I want to be like that,” he said. Dale will need that calm and leadership ability on Friday night at Vets in what he calls the biggest game he’s played in. “I’m excit-ed, but you don’t want to make the game bigger than it is. It’s still football, it’s still just a game, and you want to go out there and have fun. And win, of course.” “We’re confident, but we know

we’re headed for a dog fight,” Lobendahn said of the matchup. “Poly wants to put it on us … that’s just the way it is between Lakewood and Poly, and it’s go-ing to be a great show.” No one knows what these new faces of Lakewood football can accomplish. Whatever that is, it comes to a head on Friday night, and Dale is ready for his close up.

coach Greg Popovich) told me he respected me and my work, I knew I was doing the right things.” But due to the region’s eco-nomics, Avent was let go in 2009. However, that only opened her up to come back to California and work for Fox Sports Net cover-ing Pac-10 and Big 12 football as well as MLS Soccer. After a year there, again jobs were shuffled and Avent was left looking for a new, bigger oppor-tunity. “I was a little nervous, but I had met with the Fox NFL people in February, and then the lock-out happened and I was working soccer…,” she says. “When the lockout ended, I called to check in with them, and the timing was perfect.” As one of six sideline reports for Fox, Avent is now part of a 60-person crew that travels to a different NFL contest every weekend. They leave Los Angeles on Thursday and Avent watches the

film of both teams (something most of her counterparts don’t do) before going to the home team practice on Friday. On Saturday, they talk with the visitors, have a production meeting, and then go live on Sunday afternoon. “Most of the work I do you don’t see,” says Avent, who worked the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals game last Sunday. She spent an hour talking to Viking kicker Ryan Longwell about his mixed martial arts train-ing, “but it just didn’t fit into the game, so we didn’t use it, but I still have to be prepared.” The extra preparation is part of Avent’s drive to be respected for her professional acumen. “Donovan McNabb didn’t re-ally say anything to me when I covered the game in San Diego, but five weeks later he was smiles and handshakes...,” she recalls. “I am the same person, but they rec-ognize you, and they know if you know what you’re talking about.” That plan was put into action the night before the Vikings beat the Cardinals. After a meeting with Arizo-na running back Beanie Wells,

Avent followed him out to talk one-on-one, like she does with all pre-production interviewees. She asked him about his injured ham-string, he told her it felt good and he was ready to go. She took that information to the masses via Twitter and was listed as the source for the news by the NFL. Fantasy owners appreciated it as Wells found the end zone in the second half of the loss. “I’ve wanted to do this since I was a little girl, and now I’m living the dream,” Avent says of her five-week-old position. “This is coverage at the highest level, but I want to be the highest at this level… I’ve had great mentors like Chris Myers. I’ve had pro-fessionals to look up to like Suzy Kolber… I don’t really have any free time, but it’s worth it and I’m willing to put in the work for it.” Keep an eye out for Avent on Sunday when she is on the side-lines for the Carolina Panthers/Atlanta Falcons game. Even though there are no local teams to root for in the NFL, Long Beach can count on always being well represented with Avent on the job.

and he can pretty much attend the university of his choice when he’s done with Poly. Even while he was a freshman (starting on a Poly varsity team that made a deep playoff run), scouts and coaches talked about his NBA potential. The strength and ex-plosiveness in his muscular 6’-5” frame certainly warrants that. Athletes in that elite category

are rarely allowed to operate with the motivations that Prince says drive him. In addition to win-ning more titles for his school, he wanted to spend more time with his friends. “There’s a lot of guys on the (football) team that I’ve known my whole life, since elementary school,” he says. “They were tell-ing me to come out and play with them. It’s been a lot of fun.” Common knowledge says Prince isn’t allowed to have fun.

He’s supposed to spend 60 hours a week working on his game in the gym, so that he can maximize his future opportunities. It’s re-freshing that the junior is looking to play sports for the reason kids his age played in the days before million-dollar pro contracts. In 2011, perhaps he could switch his primary sport to football, where coaches say he will certainly be a highly-sought D1 recruit as well, but play both? Never. Neither of his Poly coaches mind, because they say Prince has made a full commitment. “He’s still an integral part of what we do every day,” says Poly basketball coach Sharrief Metoy-er. “He still practices with us, he plays Sundays in our fall league — we know we can depend on him. That’s what’s even more im-pressive about it, he’s doing two sports at the same time, and play-ing both at a high level.” Indeed, Prince’s schedule this

fall is nearly impossible to com-prehend. On days when he has his basketball class with Metoy-er, he’s on campus for weights and morning practice at 7 a.m. Two and a half hours later, he’s in a classroom, making sure he doesn’t let fatigue affect his aca-demic performance. As soon as class is out, he’s on the football fi eld, doing a full, grueling prac-tice with the Jackrabbits of the gridiron. That’s just the practices. This Friday night, for example, he’s suiting up as a receiver to try and help Poly’s football team beat Lakewood in the biggest football game of the season. Then on Sun-day, he’ll play three basketball games, including a heated one against Bishop Gorman, the only team to beat Poly last year prior to the playoffs starting. The schedule has forced Prince to take some drastic measures. “I don’t move a lot at lunch,” he says. “That’s my rest. I stay

in the same spot, and I try not to catch any sun.” The lunchtime hibernations seem to be working. Since he joined the football team after school started, he’s only seen extended game action in the last two weeks — in his fi rst game, against Compton, he caught three TDs. Last week against Jordan, he caught another. And he’s still putting up big numbers on the hardcourt in between. “He might be the fi rst in a long time to do it at such a high level,” Metoyer says of the two-sport commitment, bringing up names like NFL Pro Bowler Marcedes Lewis, who played both sports at Poly. “It’s basketball and football and then homework, and go to sleep,” Prince says. Two sports may not sound fea-sible to most elite modern ath-letes, but to Roschon Prince, a true throwback, it sounds like fun. Nobody tell him otherwise.

COASTAL ALLIANCE

Long Beach Yacht Club is in-disputably the big-boat sailboat-racing club in our area. If there is to be a big-boat event, that’s likely where it’ll be. Not only are many big-boat events hosted by LBYC, big-boat owners belong there, too. Mike Campbell was one such owner. A successful business-man, Mike worked his way up in the sailboat racing world to com-pete in a very popular type of big boat, the so-called “sled.” These boats, the paradigm of which was the Santa Cruz 70, is a big, light, fast boat optimized for down-wind races to ports in Mexico or to Hawaii. Mike’s boats raced in all the big races, and won a number of them. Sadly, the race that he couldn’t win was against carci-noid syndrome, to which he suc-cumbed in October 2008. This was the same month in which, just the year before and under the urging of Campbell, LBYC had started a regatta specifically for the very “sleds” that he raced. That regatta continues, and was renamed in 2009 to honor Mike Campbell. And this year’s edition of the regatta to win the Campbell Cup will be this Satur-day and Sunday, Oct. 15 and 16. The regatta will include three divisions. The biggest boats are the West Coast 70 class boats, among them the aforementioned Santa Cruz 70s and Campbell’s last boat, the Tim Kernan-de-signed 70-footer, Peligroso, now owned overseas. Also racing are another class of boat in which Campbell competed, the Trans-pac 52. Originally intended as a “box rule” boat for the Trans-pacific Yacht Race, TP52s have evolved into an international class. This regatta invites boats to race under the i52 rule. One-design Farr 40s will also race. The Campbell Cup will go to the winner of the WC70 class.

Details on this regatta can be found at the Long Beach Yacht Club website, www.lbyc.org.Season Closer Our neighbors in the downtown Shoreline Marina, the Shoreline Yacht Club, will host the final event of the racing season for the Southern California Cruiser As-sociation (SCCA), the outfit that runs predicted-log racing in our area. This is a discipline where the skipper is given a set course to navigate in advance and must predict the times at which their boat will pass each of the desig-nated waypoints. The trick is that they must navigate this without the use of speedometer or time-piece. While many predicted-log con-tests go from one place to another, the SCCA Season Closer will be run within San Pedro Bay, with starting and finishing locations inside the Long Beach Break-water. A gala and formal awards dinner will take place at SYC af-ter the contest, which gives the racers a chance to remember the year’s contests. Your best bet for information on this event is the Southern California Cruiser Association webpage, www.predictedlog.org/SCCA/SCCA.html. Ladies Day If the big boats are racing at LBYC, the little ones will race at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club as ABYC hosts the annual La-dies Day Regatta. This event, as the name suggests, pits women against each other, and is raced in the little 8-foot Naples Sab-ots that were created right here on Alamitos Bay nearly 70 years ago. All racing will take place on the bay. Ladies will sail in A and B divisions. Men also are invited to sail, in a Gentlemen’s division. There also is a mixed Novice di-vision. Go to www.abyc.org or call ABYC at 434-9955.

Four masters swimmers calling themselves the Long Beach Swim Focus Relay set a new record Saturday for crossing the Catalina Channel. The swim took place in the late night and early morning, ending at 3:33 a.m. The time was six hours, 53 minutes and four seconds, 11 minutes faster than the previous record set in 1995. The Long Beach swimmers were raising money for Habitat for Humanity. The four former college

swimmers were Hank Wise, 43; Lyle Nelli, 51; Ted Bramble, 40; Matt Mitchell, 44; Parks Wesson, 50; and Lexie Kelly, 24. Samantha Sears was the alternate and paddlers Benjamin and Matt Landis stayed alongside, as well as Captain Greg Wise on El Goofy, the escort boat. The 20-mile swim was from the San Vincente Lighthouse to Barnacle Beach in Doctor’s Cove on Catalina.

On friday nights, you can find Mario Morales looking every bit the high school football coach, taking in the cool fall breeze under the shine of bright floodlights. But after seven years at the helm of the Wilson High foot-ball program, you won’t see him stalking the sidelines or barking instructions into his headset. the only coaching Morales is doing is for his daughters’ 9- and 10-year- old softball teams. that was not his choice. “i was really excited about my future there, i really felt that Wilson had a great year ahead and i wanted to be a part of that,” Morales says. “i had planned on retiring there one day. it was a shock.” While high school coaches are fired and replaced all the time, it wasn’t the school’s choice, either. Morales became the latest victim of a practice known as “bumping,” wherein a district moves teachers from one school to another based on classroom needs and seniority. in May, the Long Beach Unified School District informed Morales that he would be bumped from his teaching duties at Wilson to a po-sition at Lakewood High. the dis-tance would make it impossible to continue coaching at Wilson, so Morales resigned. it’s a common narrative in the district. Because no exceptions are made for coaches, they are open to being bumped to a new school if their teaching services are needed, forcing them to leave their coaching jobs without a guarantee that a new one will be waiting. the district has cut hun-dreds of positions and more than $100 million from its budget in the last three years. While Morales and others like him understand that they are hired as teachers first and coaches sec-ond, some believe there must be a better way to handle the situa-tion. “it’s been a sore point for a lot of guys,” says Kevin McCarthy, a track and field coach who was bumped from Millikan to Cabrillo over the summer. “i coached three sports at Millikan and it is only my opinion, but in my opinion, that makes me pretty important. Coaches weren’t given any extra consideration at all.” McCarthy is one of the lucky

ones. He kept his coaching job at Millikan, but had to commute straight from afternoon classes at Cabrillo and it took a toll. He recently accepted the head posi-tion for the Cabrillo track and field team when it became avail-able. He says there is great value in having coaches on the campus where they teach, and thinks there should be ways to accommodate coaches from being bumped. District officials do not dis-agree that bumping coaches cre-ates worrisome issues for athletic programs and the student-athletes, but there isn’t much that can be done. “it breaks my heart,” says ruth ashley, LBUSD assistant super-intendent for human resource ser-vices. “i know the impact these coaches have on our kids, but the education code is very spe-cific. So until that changes, this is where we’re at.” the moves are made because coaches like Morales and Mc-Carthy are hired as teachers, not coaches, and they are hired by the district, not individual schools. “When it comes time to re-configure enrollment or staff a particular school, the lower se-niority teachers come first,” ash-ley says. “Coaches find out in the

springtime so that other teach-ers can volunteer to leave if they choose.” Seniority plays an important role in the decision-making pro-cess. the district moved Morales from his P.e. position at Wilson to make room for a replacement with more than 20 years experi-ence, but none in coaching. Mc-Carthy began his teaching career at Cabrillo in 1997, but when he left the district in 2003, his senior-ity reset back to zero and left him as the odd man out this summer.the quality of classroom educa-tion takes top priority in this age of shrinking staff and ballooning class sizes, but there also is unde-niable value in the stability of ath-letic programs. it is simply more beneficial to have coaches who teach on the same campus. they are around more, carry more in-fluence around school, and don’t have to scramble across the city to make it to practice on time. the district is not able to keep as many coaches on as full-time staff these days as they would like, and bumping contributes to the problem. One possibility could be to present coaches with a specific credential stating that they teach a specialized skill, thereby protect-

ing them from bumping. teachers in certain fields of study, such as dance, can earn a similar designation that acts as a bumping exemption. Until that idea or a similar one moves forward, bumping coaches and growing instability within athlet-

ic programs across the district is simply a reality. everyone is doing the best with what they have, Morales includ-ed. He hasn’t pursued any coach-ing opportunities this season, but says he has plans to start looking soon.

the NBa and its fans are cur-rently suffering through a lock-out, but basketball-starved fans in Long Beach were treated last Saturday to a heap of pro basket-ball stars, who took the court in the Pyramid. fans crammed into the sold-out Pyramid, occupying every avail-able seat and every possible view-

ing space to catch a glimpse of locked out NBa players. the Los angeles-based Drew League enacted revenge on the Washington, D.C.-based Good-man League with a 151-144 victo-ry behind 48 points from Oklaho-ma City thunder forward James Harden, in the game dubbed “the Big Payback” by organizers. Oth-er local natives playing for the Drew included Brandon Jennings,

Matt Barnes, trevor ariza, Dorell Wright, Javale McGee, Nick Young and Demar Derozan. Washington Wizards star John Wall led the Goodman with 55 points, joined by 50 from two-time NBa scoring champion Kevin Durant. Grizzlies forward rudy Gay made one of his first game appearances of the summer after recovering from a shoulder injury and looked every bit the

capable scorer he has been in the NBa. Goodman defeated the Drew in a close game back in au-gust, but did not have the depth to match them in the sequel. Long Beach State’s Casper Ware was recognized by the game announcer after a breakout sum-mer in which he was named MVP of the Drew League season. One week ago, whether out of analysis or blind loyalty, Ware called the Drew victory, and his prediction held true. Since the semester is

underway, college players were unable to play in the game. “the crowd was good, it was intense and it was fun,” Durant said after the game. toronto raptors forward Dero-zan, a product of Compton High who spent plenty of time playing in Long Beach as a budding star, said it felt great to win on familiar soil. “it’s definitely always fun to come back with the pro guys and do what we do,” he said.

NBA Players Dazzle Crowd At Exhibition

Women’s Soccer if you have yet to see this team play in person, it’s likely that there has been a misappropriation of your free time. Simply put: this team is special. there are only so many super-latives that can be used, but every week they find a way to earn their praise and demand more of the spotlight. Normally they’re able to spread their magic over the course of two matches, but this week they were limited to just one against rival fullerton. thus, the ladies of Long Beach State decided to pack a week’s worth of excitement into one match, or more specifically, into the span of about five minutes. after coming out looking slug-gish in the early going against the titans, the ‘Niners were put into a 1-0 hole in the first half. that score remained for quite some time, until the 90th minute. the 49ers earned a corner kick that would be their final chance at an

equalizer, and after a beautiful ball in from Marysol rosas, the ball was headed to Nicole Hub-bard — who knew exactly what to do with it. the astonishing goal came with just 14 seconds on the clock, and sent the Long Beach crowd into hysteria. then came overtime. Less than five minutes into the extra session, with all momen-tum on Long Beach’s side, Nadia Link got a clear run at the top of the box and would not miss. She made a quick move to her left and then buried a shot that kissed in off the crossbar. that Black & Golden goal ended the contest and once again sent the 49er fans into an uproar. this team is mak-ing a habit of doing the unthink-able, and doing it with flair. the 49ers are now riding a six-game winning streak that in-cludes two overtime victories, two 6-0 results, a Nicole Hubbard hat trick, a triumphant “return from injury, then score two goals” performance by Link, and a win against an opponent that Long Beach had never beaten. Link and Hubbard have each scored six goals for the ‘Niners during the winning streak, while Shaw-na Gordon leads the team with eights assists in the six matches. all of that has the 49ers (10-3-1, 3-0-0) ranked 23rd in the na-tion, while sitting firmly atop the Big West standings. that spot-less conference mark could be in jeopardy this weekend, however, as the 49ers head out on their fi-nal regular season road trip. the Beach will be playing two teams that are tied for second in confer-ence and looking to knock the 49ers off the top. at 7 p.m. friday, they will be at CS Northridge (4-7-2, 2-1-1) before heading to ir-vine to take on the preseason Big West favorite UCi anteaters (9-3-2, 2-1-1) at 6 p.m. on Sunday.Women’s Volleyball this week brought the return of senior captain Caitlin Ledoux, and it was nice having her back in the fold. Since fans in the Pyramid were offered posters of Ledoux as a pregame giveaway, it was only fitting that she be out on the floor leading her team to a four-set vic-

tory over rival fullerton. it was a must-win for the 49ers, if only to maintain the status quo against the titans: dominance. it was the 58th consecutive win for Long Beach over fullerton, bringing the series record to 80-4 in favor of the Black & Gold. Before the weekend festivities, however, the ‘Niners needed to take care of business against UC irvine, and they did. the Beach stormed in and took the match 25-10, 25-11, 25-15. it was a balanced attack as nobody had double-digit kills for the 49ers, but six players had more than four. the defense was impressive as UCi was held to a negative hit percentage and Long Beach had three players in double-digit digs: Janisa Johnson (22), Lauren Min-kel (17) and tyler Jackson (12). then it was a return home for the headliner of the week, a match against fullerton, who entered with a 3-1 record in the Big West, a half game better than the 49ers. facing a team that hasn’t beaten you since 1982, it would be easy to be complacent. instead, Long Beach played well in the first two sets, going into intermission with a stranglehold on the match. after 49er errors caused them to drop set three, they put the pedal to the floor in set four, racing out to a 25-11 win. Ledoux had a match-leading 17 kills to go along with 11 digs, giving her a double-double in her first match back from injury. Haleigh Hampton had a strong showing in the middle with 13 kills and was in on 10 blocks for the 49ers. On the back row, Long Beach was paced by senior libero Lauren Minkel and her 19 digs. the 49ers (10-6, 4-2) will re-main at home for a pair of match-es this weekend. On friday it’s UC Davis (18-3, 4-2), and on Saturday it’s Pacific (12-7, 3-3), both matches will begin at 7 p.m.Women’s Tennis the 49ers competed at the fullerton invitational this past weekend and made themselves at home, quite literally. Long Beach put on a show behind the tandem of senior rachel Manasse and

OPEN SUNDAY

October 13, 2011 B

By Mike GuardabascioSportS Editor

Boys’ Water Polo Wilson has looked good through their nonleague schedule, but they looked even better in their home pool last week when Moore League play started. the Bruins, currently ranked No. 3 in CiF division 2, welcomed in the upstart Millikan rams, who have recently gotten noticed in the CiF poll themselves, finishing just outside the top 10. But the game was over before it started, as Wilson jumped out to a 7-1 lead at the end of the first quarter, and a 10-2 lead at halftime. Bruins keeper Nick Hoy, who showed excellent range in the cage, was largely untested in the game, with just three saves (and two goals allowed) when he left at halftime. despite the big score for the Bruins, the goals were spread evenly, with no player scoring more than two, and a total of 15 players getting in on the action. Jackson

Kimbell, Willis Allen, Freddie Mannion, Maxwell irving, thomas Martinho and Jake davis each had a pair in the game, and davis had three steals in the first quarter. “We’re looking forward to Lakewood and poly,” said first year Millikan coach dane Smith after the game. “Wilson is a great team.” the first-half goals for Millikan were scored by the tandem of Kyle and danny Nottage. rams goalie Alex Antonaras, who does double duty at the school by playing baseball as well, fought valiantly with five saves. Martinho, too, liked what he saw, although he’s still waiting for a signature victory. “We’ve had some really close losses to some great teams,” he said, referencing his squad’s overtime loss against top-ranked Corona del Mar in particular. “We feel like those games prepare us to be the best team in the city, and then hopefully to advance in the playoffs.” Sure enough, the Bruins fell in overtime

for a second time against Corona del Mar just two days later — but the season is young, with many games yet to be played.Girls’ Volleyball in last week’s newspaper, we told you about the insane match between Lakewood and poly, which saw the Lancers fight off six Jackrabbit match points in a stunning 25-23 fifth set to complete a two sets to none comeback. From the distance of a few more days, the match is even more incred-ible. thus far this year, every single meet-ing between the Moore League’s power trio of Wilson, Lakewood and poly has gone to five sets, with a thrilling finish. if you’re upset that you missed them — there’s still time. the second round of Moore League play begins this week, which means there’s another chance to see all the action. today, thursday, poly will host Wilson; on tuesday, oct. 18, Wilson will host Lakewood; and on thursday, oct. 27, poly will host Lakewood. the outcomes of those matches will de-

cide the Moore League champion. Wilson finishes the first round with zero league losses, while Lakewood has one, and poly has two. Should poly and Lakewood defeat Wilson, the match on the 27th could end up with the Moore League crowning three title-winners. in this topsy-turvy season, don’t rule it out.Girls’ Tennis the Bruins played rude host to the Lanc-ers on thursday, beating Lakewood 12-6 to remain unbeaten in Moore League play. Wilson improved to 6-3 overall, but 5-0 in the Moore League with the win. the doubles team of taylor Burgess and tif-fany Sanchez, and the doubles team of Katherine Santiago and Sheela ignacio both swept their matches. in singles, idalis rideout went a perfect 3-0 for the Lancers. Upcoming matches to keep an eye on include today, thursday, when Lakewood hosts poly and tuesday, oct. 18, when the Jackrabbits will host the unbeaten Bruins. All matches start at 3 p.m.

High School Moore League: Notebook

freshman Laura Bernard, making it look more like a Long Beach event. in fact, the singles cham-pionship match ended up being played not in Fullerton, but at the rhodes tennis Center at Long Beach State. How did that happen? Well, the doubles team of Manasse and

Bernard found itself in Sunday’s championship match, while still needing to compete against one another in the singles champion-ship. the tandem would go on to lose in the doubles final, but the senior Manasse outlasted her teammate 6-3, 6-4 on Monday af-ternoon to take the title. the ‘Niners won’t be in action again until oct. 20 in San diego at the itA West regionals.

COASTAL ALLIANCE

B October 13, 2011

By JJ Fiddler and Mike Guardabascio

SportS Editor

Poly vs. Lakewood @ 7 p.m., Vet-erans Memorial Stadium it’s been almost a decade since the rivalry game between Long Beach poly and Lakewood’s foot-ball teams didn’t decide the Moore League champion outright. this year, while Cabrillo looks game to challenge the Jackrabbits and Lancers, there’s plenty of reasons to expect the same. the Moore League Super Bowl is the biggest game in Long Beach, every year, with the last six meetings draw-ing crowds of more than 10,000 people. As such, we’re looking at a six-pack of matchups that could help decide the victor of this week’s epic showdown.Quarterbacks the Lancers’ quarterback job was left open until the day before they opened their season against Locke. Since then, senior Brock

dale has filled the vacancy nice-ly. He threw three touchdowns against Locke that night on just 14 attempts. in six games, he has racked up 1,006 yards passing to go with 13 touchdowns while completing 60% of his passes. if you’re a Jackrabbit fan, you’re wishing this segment wasn’t at the top of the list. Just about every other category for the ‘rabbits has looked champi-onship caliber, but poly coaches have played three quarterbacks while looking for consistency. if Lakewood stacks the box against the run, they’ll need it this Fri-day.Wide Receivers/Defensive Backs this is easily the most talented position on the field Friday. With the addition of basketball star ro-schon prince, poly’s wide receiv-ing corps suddenly features four division 1 athletes in prince, and Arizona State commits Josiah Blandin, randall Goforth and

richie Smith. that’s a matchup nightmare. on the other side, poly will contend with Lakewood’s height with tenacious defensive back play from Goforth, tiller Gaston, Xavier Wash and safeties david price and Jeff turley. Meanwhile, Lakewood has ar-guably the most explosive receiv-ing corps in the Southern Section, let alone the Moore League. Se-nior darius powe suffered a leg injury in week one, but returned to score twice in the Moore League opener against Wilson, including his first touch — a 72-yard punt return. Senior Malik Gilmore (16 receptions, 241 yards, 3td) ju-nior X’avier Shepherd (14 rec., 286 yards, 5td) and sophomore Jeremy McNichols (20 rec., 269 yards, 5td) all have touchdown catches of more than 40 yards.Running Backs/Offensive Line Lakewood struggled to run the ball for the first three games of the season, but when they need-

ed it most in the last two weeks, the rushing attack has carried the team to victory. Senior Keith Franklin is emerging as a star with five touchdowns in wins over Wilson and Compton. Junior Kendall rodgers also should be back from injury this week. He is averaging 6.5 yards-per-carry with three touchdowns. As usual, the run game is poly’s bread and butter, even with all those explosive wideouts. the thunder/lightning combo of Manusamoa Lu’uga and Gerard Wicks in the backfield are an ex-

cellent complement to each other, and the huge linemen up front, led by Nemo Stefanovic and tomas rivera, can road pave with the best of them. poly has to win this battle to control the game.Defensive Line Few units in the Moore League have wreaked more havoc on opponents than poly’s d-Line. Alonzo Williams, a transfer from Louisiana, and raymond price, a transfer from Bosco, hold the ends down while big men like Ja-son Fao plug up the middle. it’s

LONG BEACH FOOTBALL: NOTEBOOK


—Gazette photo by Jim CayerRUMBLING. Lakewood lineman Toma Suafoa does his best Vince Wilfork impersonation with an interception against Compton last week. The big man is a better lineman than a receiver however; mo-ments later, he fumbled the ball. His Lancers still won big, 54-0.

October 13, 2011 B

hard to pass or run against such a stout line. There is a youth movement in Lakewood, and the defensive line is a good example of underclass-man getting it done. With highly touted recruits like Todd Barr and Justin Utupo at the next level, Justin’s sophomore brother Jared and junior Anthony Davis have filled in nicely with a combined 35 tackles and five sacks.Linebackers The Red Swarm defense is de-fined by the linebacking corps, and Lakewood has some great playmakers in seniors Sam Har-ris, Anthony McNichols, Jaron Howard and sophomore Chandler Leniu. The four are all in the top seven on defense for total tackles, and they have combined for four sacks and four interceptions. Salamo Fiso and Matt Rowe are nationally ranked lineback-ers (both committed to Arizona State), and third man Jeremy Lutali has proven he’s a more than capable defender as well. Alec Lopez filled in for Rowe

the last few weeks when he was sidelined with an injury, but the senior is expected back on the field this Friday.The Intangibles One of Poly’s biggest strengths has always been their confidence. A huge road win over Sacramento Grant in a sold-out hostile stadi-um and two other big non-league victories have probably helped on that front. Of course, the Jackrab-bits’ usual depth at almost every position doesn’t hurt them either. Lakewood is young from the top down, and maybe that’s a good thing. Pressure is always a big factor in high school football, and it’s ratcheted up in games like this. It’s possible the Lancers are too young to realize the gravity of the situation, and will play a bet-ter, more fluid game because of it. Or they could shrink in the spot-light — we’ll have to wait and see on Friday night.Cabrillo @ Compton, @ 7 p.m., Compton Football Stadium This is the last week of vaca-tion for the Cabrillo Jaguars. Rid-ing an unexpected and incredible five-game winning streak — the longest in the Moore League —

the Jaguars are visiting the Tarb-abes this week, where they’ll ex-pect to win. The five teams they’ve beaten thus far have a combined seven wins between them — the Tarbabes have one to their name. But after this week, where Cabril-lo should win their sixth in a row, they play Lakewood, Wilson and Poly to finish the season. Three teams who’ve won almost twice as many games as the last five that Cabrillo’s played.Millikan @ Wilson, @ 7 p.m., Wil-son Football Stadium The Rams and Bruins are both looking for their first Moore League victory this week. Wilson had the unenviable task of taking a bye week after a hard-fought loss to Lakewood, while Millikan hung with Cabrillo through one half of football last week before losing 41-6. The new look Ram defense gave the Jaguars fits in the first half, but the Bruins have that game film, and will be pre-pared in this one.OTHER GAMES St. Anthony @ St. Monica, @ 7 p.m., Saturday LBCC @ LA Harbor, @ 6 p.m., Saturday

Alicia ArzagaWilson Golf Prep athletes in Long Beach can put up some staggeringly high numbers, but last week Arzaga, a sophomore with the Bruins, put up some staggeringly low ones. Wilson was on Catalina Island, at the Catalina Island Golf Course, to face their Moore League foe, Avalon. Arzaga turned heads with a four-under par round of 28, shooting four birdies and five pars, setting a new women’s course record at the course.

Brock DaleLakewood Football Lakewood beat Compton 54-0 last week, so a lot of Lancers could have won this award, but senior quarterback Brock Dale has Lake-wood fans so excited. Dale started slowly, go-ing 3-8 in the first quarter — but he finished a perfect 6-6, with three of those six passes going for touchdowns. With the win in hand, Dale turned around and handed the ball off, and started thinking about this week’s game with Poly.

Caitlin LedouxLBSU Volleyball Ledoux sat out a few weeks with stress fractures in her left shin, and her firepower was sorely missed. She made her presence felt immediately in her return against Cal State Fullerton on Saturday, scoring the 49ers’ first point and leading the team with 17 kills. She also showed her usual range defensively, as one of the team’s leaders in digs, picking up yet another double-double in her stellar career with 11 digs.

John WallGoodman League Basketball It’s not very often an athlete who doesn’t play the majority of their games in Long Beach wins this award (in fact, this is the first time). But then, it’s not very often that NBA stars play in the Pyramid. Wall, the number-one pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, scored 55 points for the Goodman League last Saturday, wowing the crowd with 360-degree layups, thundering slams, rainbow three’s and no-look passes.

Welcome to By the Books, a weekly column where we break down how the local programs are doing in polls and rankings both local and national.Football things are relatively stable in the CiF pac-5 division top 10 poll. poly remains firmly at No. 6, while Lakewood’s blowout of Compton was good enough to earn them a mention in the Also receiving Votes category. despite a 61-point win over Jordan on Friday, the Jackrab-bits dropped two spots in the LA times’ SoCal poll, from No. 7 to No. 9. Lakewood moved up two spots to No. 23. Servite and Santa Margarita are the consen-sus top two teams in the pac-5.Boys’ Water Polo the Wilson Bruins’ overtime loss to CiF division 2 top-ranked Corona del Mar was good enough to let them keep their current No. 3 spot in the poll. Millikan’s big loss at the hands of the Bruins was apparently damaging enough for the rams to drop out of the Also receiving Votes slot.Cross Country the cross country polls are get-ting a little green and gold action this week. the poly boys’ team has been ranked No. 5 in CiF division 1 for the majority of the season, but the young poly girls’ team is getting in on the action now, too. they make their CiF division 1 debut at No. 8 in this week’s poll.Girls’ Volleyball once again, no Moore League teams crack the top 10 in CiF division 1. it raises the ques-tion: would local fans rather see one dominant team who moves around in the top of the rankings, or three unranked teams playing entertaining five-set volleyball against each other? this year we’ve seen the latter,

while poly filled the role of the former last season. Los Alamitos and Edison are still the top two teams in the poll.Girls’ Tennis Wilson’s 5-0 start to the Moore League was still not enough for them to crack the CiF top ten. if they keep winning, you can ex-pect to see them up there before the end of the season.LBSU Soccer these 49ers just keep win-ning (10-3-1) and their rankings outlook just keeps getting better. their recent string of offensive success has given them a bump back into the national top 25, where they’re now ranked No. 23, the only team in the Big West Conference to crack that list. perhaps just as importantly, the team’s rpi keeps going up. rpi is largely used to help fill slots in the NCAA Women’s Soccer tournament, which means that the 49ers’ current spot at No. 43 is crucial. if the season ended today, even without winning the Big West championship, the 49ers still would be likely to receive an at-large bid.LBSU Volleyball the 49ers picked up a pair of conference victories this week, but they still slipped in the stand-ings, the result of the overall weakness of the Big West. Last week they were 33rd in the na-tion, and this week they’re down to No. 36. they did actually gain two votes in the NCAA Coaches’ poll, from 7 to 9. the 49ers have played three of the nation’s top ten teams in this week’s poll: Washington (No. 2), UCLA (No. 6), and Hawaii (No. 8).LBSU Water Polo the 49ers continue to slip down the national rankings, and if they continue the trend of los-ing in the powerhouse MpSF Conference (as they did 14-6 to Cal) that may continue. they dropped another spot in the NCAA Coaches’ poll this week, from No. 13 in the nation to No. 14.

it was separation week for the local football scene last week, and it looks like it’s Long Beach State’s turn this week. the wom-en’s soccer team is undefeated in conference play and sits atop the Big West right now, but they play both second place teams on the road this weekend with a chance to create some space between them and the chase pack. Mean-while, the women’s volleyball team will stay home and host the second and fourth place teams they are sandwiched between.FRIDAYMoore League Football Games Everyone will have an eye on the Lakewood/poly game at Veterans Memorial Stadium, but don’t forget about Wilson trying to pick up its first Moore League victory as they take on Millikan while Compton is doing the same against Cabrillo. Make sure you follow the LiVE score updates on Friday night at GazettesSports.com. All games start at 7 p.m. and you can read more about them in the High School Notebook.LBSU Women’s Volleyball vs. UC Davis, @ 7 p.m., Walter Pyramid the Aggies (18-3, 4-2) are coming off a sweep of Cal State Northridge and are tied with the 49ers (10-6, 4-2) in the Big West standings, behind only UC Santa Barbara. UC davis is led by out-side hitter Allison Whitson (#6) who was All-Big West first team last season with a team-high 377 kills. the junior leads the team in kills this year as well, with 287 in 21 sets (3.68 avg.) but she is only hitting .191 with more than 800 total attacks.LBSU Women’s Soccer @ 7 p.m., @ Cal State Northridge the 49ers (10-3-1, 3-0) hope to roll the momentum from the emo-tional comeback victory against Fullerton into a very important weekend of road games, starting tonight against the Matadors (4-7-2, 2-1-1). Northridge and UC irvine sit behind Long Beach State in the Big West Conference standings, and two wins could start to secure the possibility of the 49ers hosting the Conference tournament in early November.SATURDAYLBSU Men’s Water Polo vs. Con-cordia, @ noon, LBSU Campus Pool the Concordia Eagles out of irvine are not to be trifled with,

considering their strong 20-3 overall record and recent wins over UC Santa Barbara and Air Force. Coming off back-to-back losses to USC and California, the 49ers (11-5) are looking to get back to winning ways be-fore the Mountain pacific Sports Federation schedule rolls out this month.LBSU Women’s Volleyball vs. Pa-cific, @ 7 p.m., Walter Pyramid this week’s Big Wet player of the Week Haleigh Hampton and Long Beach State will try to keep the tigers (12-7, 3-3) at bay because they are just a game back in the conference standings. pacific is coming off of back-to-back wins over Northridge and riverside.SUNDAYLBSU Women’s Soccer, @ 6 p.m., @ UC Irvine Less than a year after the 49ers went to irvine and stole the Con-ference tournament from the Anteaters, Long Beach State will return to the scene of the crime to try and stay atop the Big West standings. irvine (9-3-2, 2-1-1) was picked to win the Big West and opened the season in the NCAA top 25, however, after a draw at UC davis and a 3-2 loss at pacific, the Anteaters came back to earth in time to beat UC Santa Barbara and Fullerton, 1-0. Led by midfielder CoCo Good-son (#23) and leading scorer Natalia Ledezma (#3, 6 goals/4 assists), irvine plays a physi-cal style that will undoubtedly clash with Long Beach State’s possession-based attack and cre-ate some great NCAA women’s soccer. Make sure to follow the game LiVE online at www.Ga-zettesSports.com and stay tuned for the highlight video from the contest.

—Photo courtesy Sean RamirezLong Beach State’s club rugby team is off to a strong start, with non-league wins over USC (32-21) and Cal State Fullerton (16-7). The team will have more games throughout the season, including upcoming road trips to the West Coast 7’s Championships in San Luis Obispo (Oct. 15), and UC San Diego the following weekend.
