Orange Lutheran football defeats Santa Margarita with second-half surge

MISSION VIEJO — In a grouping as challenging as the Trinity League, not all the intrigue involves the two national powerhouses who have dominated in recent years.

The race for third place and for playoff berths also provide drama, especially if there’s a transfer quarterback in the mix.

Santa Margarita and Orange Lutheran offered all those elements, and a few more, Friday at Saddleback College.

They dueled to a tie at halftime and a back-and-forth second half before the Lancers emerged with a much-needed 28-21 victory.

Orange Lutheran (4-3, 1-1), ranked fourth in Orange County, snapped a three-game losing streak and improved its chances of finishing at least .500 overall, a key ingredient for an at-large playoff spot.

Santa Margarita (4-3, 0-2), ranked fifth in the county, dropped its second consecutive game in league.

The game pitted Santa Margarita quarterback John Gazzaniga against his former school whom he played for earlier this season.

The high-profile, in-season transfer was part of the pregame chatter, and the expected intensity spilled into game. In the end, however, the Lancers hugged the junior in the postgame handshake.

Orange Lutheran sacked Gazzaniga on the Eagles’ second possession but drew a personal foul on the play.

Gazzaniga capitalized by lofting a 20-yard touchdown pass to Sean Embree to cap a 64-yard scoring drive. It was Gazzaniga’s eighth touchdown in four games with Santa Margarita.

Orange Lutheran responded on the ensuing possession with an 87-yard scoring drive that quarterback TJ Lateef punctuated with a 1-yard TD run early in the second quarter. On the play, the Eagles were flagged for a hit on Lateef.

The intensity continued later in the second period after Orange Lutheran intercepted a pass near the Lancers 20 with about five minutes left. After the tackle along the Orange Lutheran sideline, tempers briefly flared.

The Lancers, however, weren’t able to turn their second forced turnover into points as the score was locked 7-7 at halftime.

Orange Lutheran took its first lead early in the third quarter as running back Steve Chavez broke a 35-yard TD run for a 14-7 cushion.

The Lancers extended their advantage to 20-7 later in the third as Lateef fired a 45-yard TD strike to freshman wide receiver Chris Flores Jr.

Orange Lutheran capped a 28-0 scoring run by capitalizing on a pair of miscues on a Santa Margarita punt late in the third. Brayden Henson scored on a 1-yard TD run and Lateef caught the 2-point conversion from Flores to make it 28-7.

Gazzaniga led two scoring drives in the fourth quarter but the Lancers ran out the final 2:55.

Next week, Santa Margarita plays at JSerra on Oct. 13 while Orange Lutheran takes on Servite at Cerritos College.

Tesoro football builds momentum with rout of Trabuco Hills

• October 7, 2023

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – Tesoro’s football team will go into the tough South Coast League with momentum after a 42-14 win over visiting Trabuco Hills in on Friday.

Tesoro’s win came in the final nonleague game of the season for both teams. Tesoro (4-3) begins South Coast League play next week at home against Capistrano Valley (7-0), which is ranked No. 17 in the Orange County Top 25. The league includes No. 2 Mission Viejo and No. 8 San Clemente.

Trabuco Hill (4-3), No. 22 in the county rankings, plays its Sea View League opener at home against Aliso Niguel (5-2) next wek.

Tesoro junior quarterback Cash O’Byrne completed 14 of 19 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns. Senior running back Travis Wood rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Wood went into the game averaging 111 rushing yards a game.

Trabuco Hills quarterback Jacob Perry completed 20 of 34 passes for 145 yards and one touchdown.

Tesoro’s defense limited Mustangs running back Taylor Bowie to 53 yards rushing, 56 yards fewer than his per-game average.

O’Byrne understands the challenges of the South Coast League.

“We need to do the little things right, the little things in practice,” he said. “We had a bunch of stupid penalties we need to clean up. When we go against San Clemente and Mission, we just can’t let that happen.”

Tesoro scored on its first possession. The Titans drove 80 yards on seven plays, including a 38-yard completion from O’Byrne to Campbell Schamel and a 16-yard pass to Todd Nelson. Drew Wong scored the touchdown on a 16-yard run.

Trabuco Hills responded with a touchdown on a 5-yard pass from Perry to Ryan Luce. Tesoro’s Sammy Peterson blocked the extra-point kick, leaving the Titans with a 7-6 lead. Peterson later had an interception.

Tesoro began pulling away with two second-quarter touchdowns.

The first was a 44-yard scoring pass from O’Byrne to Lance Guerrero. Guerrero sprinted through an opening in the middle of the Trabuco Hills secondary and pulled in the pass on the run for a 14-6 lead.

Tesoro’s final possession of the first half yielded the Titans second touchdown of the second quarter. Starting at their 28-yard line with 2:32 to go in the half, the Titans drove 72 yards on eight plays with O’Byrne scoring on a 1-yard sneak with 44 seconds left for a 21-6 lead. The drive included a powerful 19-yard, tackle-breaking run by Wood and O’Byrne completions of 16 yards to Schamel and 17 yards to Todd Nelson.

Trabuco Hills cut its deficit to 21-14 early in the third quarter on a 1-yard touchdown sneak by Perry and Luce running for a two-point conversion. That would be the Mustangs’ final points. Wong scored on a 27-yard reception in the third quarter and Wood scored on fourth-quarter runs of 2 and 16 yards to complete the scoring.

Dodgers’ plan to stop the Diamondbacks’ running game is already in motion

• October 7, 2023

LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers began the 2023 regular season with four games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a series made notable for the presence of two free agent pitchers, Noah Syndergaard and Madison Bumgarner, and the cloud of dust created by the Diamondbacks’ 2-1 win to end the series, a game in which they stole four bases in four attempts.

Two of the Diamondbacks’ stolen bases came against Syndergaard, whom the Dodgers traded to Cleveland in July – a fact Manager Dave Roberts noted on Thursday. But the question of how to stop Arizona’s running game is a big one hanging over the National League Division Series.

It’s a challenge the Dodgers eventually rose to, though it took time. The Dodgers went to Arizona for their first road trip and lost three of four games. The Diamondbacks stole eight bases in that series. Five came in an 11-6 win, without the benefit of seeing Syndergaard’s slow-twitch delivery.

Arizona finished the season with 166 stolen bases, the second-most in MLB. Corbin Carroll, the probable NL Rookie of the Year, stole 54 bases in 59 attempts. Jake McCarthy was 26 for 30, Geraldo Perdomo was 16 for 20, and even veteran first baseman Christian Walker went 11 for 11.

“The majority of the players that fit the mold that you’re talking about came up through our system,” Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said. “We drafted them four or five years ago. So trying to make it seem like now that that was prescient – that we knew rule changes were coming four, five years down the line – we ended up drafting a lot of high athletic, speed guys that have kind of come up through our system, and it coalesced with the rule changes (limiting pickoff throws and enlarging the bases).”

Compared to the eight head-to-head games in April, the Dodgers’ five games against the Diamondbacks in August were a different story. Arizona went 1 for 3 in stolen base attempts over those five games, all Dodger wins.

“I think (the Dodgers) didn’t understand necessarily what type of game we were going to play,” in April, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “Once they saw that they read it and reacted to it.”

Roberts didn’t divulge the intricate details of the Dodgers’ anti-theft strategy. But the Diamondbacks were not the only team that forced the Dodgers’ hand.

After the Dodgers lost back-to-back games in Kansas City in July, in a series that saw the Royals go 5 for 7 on stolen base attempts, shortstop Miguel Rojas initiated a conversation with Roberts about where the Dodgers’ game plan was falling short.

“Those teams that play fearless and kind of reckless have been our hump in the road,” Rojas said at the time. “It’s been Kansas City, the Diamondbacks earlier in the year, I think Cincinnati did it as well. They’re beating us on the bases without hitting extra bases, or long balls. When we play those teams we need to come out a little bit with expectations that they’re going to do that, and be ready for that rather than reacting when they start running the bases like that.”

That proved to be a turning point. In 84 games through July 3, the final game of the series in Kansas City, Dodger opponents went 103 for 119 in stolen-base attempts. In the season’s final 78 games, Dodger opponents were 39 for 52.

Likewise, the Dodgers weren’t the only team that forced the Diamondbacks to slow down.

“I think the league caught up to us and it took a little adjustment for us,” Lovullo said. “There’s an adjustment period of time. But we believe in our running game. We’ve got targets, and we know the guys can successfully do it and who they can do it against. And those are the things we’re reviewing right now.”

It starts with Carroll, a left-handed hitter, who finished the season as Arizona’s leadoff batter against right-handed pitchers and their No. 2 hitter against lefties.

Roberts said he enjoys watching Carroll “more from my living room than the other dugout.”

“When he’s on base potentially to steal a base, it just creates more tension,” Roberts said. “To keep him off the bases is probably one of our top priorities.”

ALSO

Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly, who will oppose Clayton Kershaw in Game 1, is no mystery to the Dodgers. He’s made 16 career starts against them, going 0-11 with a 5.49 ERA. Kelly is 48-32 with a 3.59 ERA against all other teams in his career. “It would be nice to get my first Dodgers win ever in five years in the playoffs,” he said. … Lovullo, the Boston Red Sox bench coach from 2013-16, was interrupted during his press conference by one of his former players: the Dodgers’ Mookie Betts. “Sorry guys, gotta give him a hug,” Betts said. “He raised me.” Lovullo replied, “Good luck – but not really.” … This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Dodgers jumping in the Chase Field pool to celebrate clinching the NL West title. Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall took umbrage to the celebration at the time, but he said he won’t stand in the way if it happens again. “(The Dodgers) are so good, and year after year they proved if you’re going to go somewhere, you’ve got to go through them,” Hall said. “And they’ve earned that. They have the right to celebrate however they want, wherever they want. They’ve certainly earned that opportunity.”

Indigenous Peoples Day: A look at the removal of tribes in the 1830s

• October 7, 2023

Removed from home

October 9 is Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day.

Most Native American tribes rejected the idea of removal during the U.S. expansion westward, and they tried every strategy they could to avoid it. Some nations refused to leave, and some fought to keep their lands.

Removal from 1830–1862

The expansion of the U.S. settlement from the eastern Appalachian range to the west led to the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. It forced all eastern tribal nations to move to new homelands west of the Mississippi River.

Lawmakers were deeply divided over the Indian Removal Act. The U.S. Senate vote was 28 to 19 in favor. The vote in the House of Representatives was even closer, 102 to 97. President Andrew Jackson signed the measure into law May 28, 1830.

Legendary frontiersman and Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett opposed the Indian Removal Act, declaring that his decision would “not make me ashamed in the Day of Judgment.”

The Indian Removal Act did not order the involuntary removal of any Native Americans, but the act allowed Jackson’s administration to freely persuade, bribe and threaten tribal leaders to sign removal treaties. The act granted Native Americans financial and material assistance to relocate to a new homeland and stated the tribes would live under U.S. protection.

The Five Tribes (Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw) purchased new lands in present-day Oklahoma, but some relocated farther north. The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 led to renewed White settlement in these territories, and the immigrant nations located there were soon under pressure to move on. Texas forced out all remaining tribal nations in 1859. The Civil War ended the removals temporarily.

Mark Hirsh, a historian for the National Museum of the American Indian, had this to say about the Removal Act: “American Indians continued the fight to keep their lands. But from about 1830 to 1850, the U.S. government used treaties, fraud, intimidation and violence to remove about 100,000 American Indians west of the Mississippi. Thousands of Native men, women and children died on the difficult trek to a strange new land that became known as Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma).

“The tragedy and darkness of American Indian removal should not hide the remarkable story that followed. After resettling in Indian Territory, Native peoples rebuilt their lives and cultures and continued their struggle for self-government under their own laws on their new lands in the West … Their thoughts and actions reveal much about human strength in the face of adversity — a universal issue that is as relevant today as it was in the 1800s.”

The final period, 1867–1892

The end of the Civil War allowed another surge of American settlement into the West, and again tribal nations were pressured onto reservations in the Indian Territory. In 1867 many living in Kansas and Nebraska received new reservations via the Omnibus Treaty, while the Plains nations accepted reservations via the Medicine Lodge Treaty. The last people to receive a reservation were Geronimo and his fellow Chiricahua prisoners of war.

Between 1776 and 1887, the U.S. seized more than 1.5 billion acres from Native Americans by treaty and executive order.

LAFC will get much-needed rest after trip to Texas

• October 7, 2023

The Los Angeles Football Club is set to get a few things it hasn’t had a lot of in 2023.

Rest, recovery and reps in training.

Seven matches during the past three weeks, the third such taxing spell this year, concludes on Saturday in Texas as LAFC (13-10-9, 48 points) hopes to build on its midweek demolition of Minnesota with a game against a desperate Austin FC squad (10-14-8, 38 points).

Five goals in 90 minutes on Wednesday, as many as last season’s MLS champions had in a half-dozen games in September, made for an emphatic end to a four-match scoreless streak.

“I think our physical output against Minnesota was excellent only off two days’ rest,” LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo said prior to departing for the Texas capitol. “Again, another quick turnaround, two days of rest, now we’re looking for another good physical performance but it will be difficult.”

The good news: Following Austin, which ended a 10-match winless streak on Wednesday as it attempts to climb into a second straight playoff berth, LAFC won’t play during the international break leading up to Decision Day in Vancouver on Oct. 21.

“Players are relishing that fact,” Cherundolo said.

A top-seven seed ensures LAFC’s MLS Cup defense begins a week after the regular season concludes in Canada.

Beating Austin combined with dropped points from Vancouver and Houston would lock in a top-four spot for the Black & Gold, guaranteeing a pair of matches at BMO Stadium during the best-of-three opening round.

Staggered to give enough time to physically and mentally recover, LAFC’s playoff run, however long it lasts, should feel like light work for an MLS group that played a record number of games over a calendar season.

Executing with an intensity that is integral to its game model was tough to pull off during the season’s most congested moments, said midfielder Ilie Sanchez, “especially on the road in some games we wanted to do but were not able to do it physically.”

“We can learn from that,” the Spaniard added after Wednesday’s win against Minnesota. “But from here until the end of the playoffs we all play with the same cards. We’ll all have the same resting time between games and more or less the travel distances will be the same, so it’s important we can secure home-field advantage and see what we can do.”

With room to breathe coming, Cherundolo’s plan against Austin will balance lineup continuity for a team that conceded goals twice in five games and getting fresh legs on the field to preserve his players.

LAFC captain Carlos Vela, 34, has traversed this line all year.

While scoring nine goals with 12 assists in 32 league appearances (22 starts), the Mexican forward has played in 42 of the club’s 47 games so far, contributing 14 goals and 15 assists in total.

However in Vela’s last nine games, including Wednesday’s two-assist performance in his 150th regular-season appearance with LAFC, he is goalless.

Vela’s next goal would mark the fourth time in six years that he produced double-digit goals and assists. Only three players in MLS history have done the same: Jaime Moreno, Preki and Diego Valeri.

Simone Biles’ 6th all-around title at worlds caps magical return to gymnastics

• October 7, 2023

By SAMUEL PETREQUIN AP Sports Writer

ANTWERP, Belgium — Not even a slight stumble near the end could stop Simone Biles. Less than three months after returning to competition, the American superstar is back at the top of world gymnastics once again.

Biles overcame a late blip in her floor routine after an otherwise dominant performance to win the individual all-around title at the world championships for the sixth time on Friday. That made her the most decorated gymnast in history, two years after she put her career on hold to focus on her mental health following the Tokyo Olympics.

Even for someone who has now stood atop that world championship podium 21 times, that was enough to draw some tears during the medal ceremony in Antwerp – the Belgian city where Biles started her collection of titles a decade ago as a 16-year-old.

“You guys are actually never going to believe me, but I’ve had something in my eye for like four hours today that I could not get out,” Biles said. “So whenever I was staring at the podium, if I look up, it really hits my eye.”

Biles then acknowledged she was moved.

“Because 10 years ago, I won my first worlds. Now we’re back here. So it was emotional,” she said. “It means everything to me, the fight, everything that I’ve put in to get back to this place, feel comfortable and confident enough to compete.”

Biles scored 58.399 points across the balance beam, floor, vault and uneven bars to beat Rebeca Andrade, the Brazilian defending champion, by 1.633 points. Biles’ U.S. teammate Shilese Jones took the bronze medal with 56.332 points.

It was Biles’ 27th world championship medal – and 21st gold. It came two days after the four-time Olympic gold medalist led the U.S women to a record seventh consecutive win in the team event.

And it came after a two-year break following her appearance in the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics, which was plagued by a bout with a mental block known as “ the twisties.” She was expected to repeat as the individual all-around champion in Tokyo but removed herself from the competition to focus on her mental well-being.

She said the therapy sessions and the breathing and visualization exercises she has been doing on a regular basis since have helped her recover.

“I was so much more nervous for team finals because that’s when everything occurred (in Tokyo), so I was a little bit traumatized from that. So today I felt a little bit more relaxed,” she said. “So I’m happy that that’s over.”

Biles now has 34 medals across the world championships and Olympics, making her the most decorated gymnast ever – male or female – at the sport’s two signature events ahead of the retired Vitaly Scherbo.

Her six all-around world titles also ties the all-time record,

“Every day I try to think about it, especially in therapy when we talk about it,” Biles said about her record-breaking achievements. “And I think that’s when all the emotions come up. And I really think about what I’ve done and what we’ve done to the sport and push that forward. So I think it’s really exciting. But all in all, I don’t think it will hit me until I retire and then look back and see everything I’ve done.”

Biles’ only blip came right at the end, as she was about to wrap up her floor routine. After a near-flawless display, she tripped near the end of her routine as she was about to enter a sequence of leaps. But she recovered in style, and it didn’t cost her enough of a points deduction to rob her of the gold.

“I know my parents had a heart attack,” Biles told her coach.

With the Olympics Games in less than a year in Paris, Biles is back to her very best. And despite the fierce competition from Andrade and Jones, she remains a cut above the rest – a full decade after she started her reign.

“She is like wine, she is better with age,” her coach Cecile Landi said.

After announcing her return, she impressed at the U.S. Classic in early August then added her eighth national title a few weeks later. She is competing at her first world championships since 2019 this week.

Biles received the loudest round of applause during the athlete presentation, with Andrade’s name also welcomed by loud cheers.

Biles, Jones and Andrade competed in the same rotation, kicking off their contest at vault. Jones got off a solid start, nailing a double-twisting Yurchenko with a small hop that earned her 14.233 points.

In her blue leotard, Biles then opted for a Cheng vault – not the more difficult Yurchenko Double Pike she pioneered during the team qualifying – and was nearly perfect in her execution, getting 15.100 points. Andrade, the defending champion, also attempted a Cheng but her execution was not as good as Biles’ and she had to be content with 14.700.

Even at her weakest apparatus, the uneven bars, Biles still managed a 14.333 that put her in the lead ahead of Andrade, who after a long wait produced a superb bar routine and reduced the gap to her American rival to just 0.233 points before they moved to the balance beam.

Biles looked a bit shaky as she mounted the beam, but the rest of her routine was excellent. Jones delivered a great display to move to second place overall and was warmly hugged by Biles after her effort.

Andrade bounced out of bounds seconds before she wrapped up her floor routine, a fluffed last step that marred an otherwise brilliant display. The mistake cost her three-tenths of a point, but not her silver medal.

Biles and Jones took pride in the fact that three athletes of color stood on the podium.

“We had our Black podium of girls,” Biles said. “So I thought that was amazing. Black girl magic. So, hopefully it just teaches all the young girls out there that you can do anything.”

Jones agreed.

“I feel like sometimes young girls are like, oh, I can’t do it because of my skin tone, but really just believe in yourself and anything is possible,” Jones said.

Biles’ competition continues this weekend with the women’s vault and uneven bars finals on Saturday and the balance beam and floor exercise finals on Sunday.
