Morgan Hill Unified School District missed out on $3.3 million in potential state funds because of student absenteeism in the 2016–17 school year. This nugget of information was introduced at the Oct. 17 school board meeting after a question from trustee David Gerard during a presentation led by Linda Row, the district’s director of student services and enrollment. The district loses $60 per day per student when a student is absent from school, whether the absence is excused or unexcused. “Those dollars ($3.3 million) would have gone directly in the general fund, which can be used for a wide variety of purposes within the district, including hiring staff,” Row said. The district’s general fund was a little more than $74.5 million in 2016–17. (The general fund is made up of a variety of state and federal sources.) Morgan Hill’s six elementary and two K–8 schools compiled attendance rates ranging from 94.98 percent to 96.36 percent for the 2016–17 school year, with PA Walsh STEAM Academy at the low end and Los Paseos Elementary at the high end. Trustee Tom Arnett said he would think twice about planning any vacations that would force his children from missing any school days after learning of the financial impact. “To me, it was pretty startling to hear how much money we lose (due

Vets run helps vet groups NOV. 11 RUN WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR NONPROFITS Michael Moore Editor
It is often said that U.S. military veterans communicate among themselves with an unspoken language as well as an understood, unbreakable trust.
Perhaps that’s one reason Charles Weston, organizer of the upcoming Veterans Day Run, knows he made the right call in supporting Mary Cortani’s Operation Freedom Paws as one of the fundraiser’s beneficiaries. Cortani—a U.S. Army veteran who, like Weston, served in Vietnam—gave a tour of OFP’s 4.2-acre San Martin site earlier this week to a small group of
donors, including Weston. OFP is a unique nonprofit that matches rescued dogs with individuals—primarily veterans—who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, traumatic brain injury symptoms and other physical, neurological, psychological or mobility conditions. OFP’s program works with each client to train their own dog, then certifies the dog and handler
together as a service team in a rigorous 48-week course, during which the dogs are housed at the OFP facility. The service is therapy-intense and available to clients 24/7: Cortani said it is common for a client to call her in the middle of the night “in crisis,” wanting to come over to see their dog. “We’re dealing with the families too,” Cortani told the group Oct. 24.
OFP even offers spousal support groups and other family services. Cortani, who founded OFP in 2010 and was a finalist for CNN’s “Hero of the Year” award in 2012, said as of last week, the nonprofit has matched, trained and supported 316 clients with service dogs. About 85 percent of the clients are veterans, ➝ Freedom Paws, 16

MHUSD sells $80M worth of Measure G bonds BRITTON MIDDLE PROJECT IS CORNERSTONE OF NEW FUNDS Scott Forstner Reporter
A favorable sale of $80 million in bonds by local school district staff has resulted in a lower price tag to taxpayers than authorities had originally expected, by nearly $2 million. Morgan Hill Unified School District officials reported in an Oct. 18 press release that the reduction in the projected cost of the bonds was a result of the district's Aa1 credit rating from Moody’s Investors Services. A majority of the second series,
known as “Series B,” of the district’s Measure G capital improvements bond will fund the Britton Middle School Transformation Project, which is set to break ground by the end of the year. The Aa1 mark is the highest rating a “non-basic aid district’ can receive, and was based on the district’s strong fiscal position, sound management practices, and large and growing tax base, according to the district’s report. “In response to market conditions and investor demand, interest rates on the bonds were lowered several times from the levels estimated prior to the sale,” the report stated. “The final lower interest rate levels for the bonds were over $1.9 million lower in debt service payments over the life
#
of the bonds compared to what was presented to the board of education on Sept. 5.” Series B’s $80 million will be paid back in installments over the next 30 years, totaling $144,284,492— minus the $1.9 million reduction in the recent sale—by 2047, according to a Sept. 5 presentation by managing director Erica Gonzalez of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company. A Series C bond issuance of $63,250,000 (the final of the Measure G monies) is scheduled for 2020. More than 35 different institutional investors placed orders for the district’s bonds. Subscriptions or requests to purchase by investors were more than four times the total amount of bonds that were available to sell.
“Today's sale surpassed our highest expectations for investors’ response showing the value and strength of our district,” said Superintendent Steve Betando. “With a savings of nearly $2 million dollars to the taxpayers, we could not be more pleased with the result.” Approved by voters in 2012, the $198 million school bond program, Measure G, is transforming Morgan Hill School District campuses by funding essential infrastructure upgrades and new construction. At Britton, the estimated $50 million project will result in over 80,000 square feet of new learning space. A new student union building, which includes a scratch cooking kitchen for healthier options for student nutrition and
learning opportunities, is also in the works. Additionally, a new parking lot and drop off/pick up area will replace the existing lot helping to ease congestion before and after school. Nordstrom Elementary School and Jackson Academy of Math and Music will also benefit from this second series. At Nordstrom, the district plans to replace aged and outdated portables with new classroom buildings and will receive a larger multipurpose use space on campus. At Jackson Academy, the project calls for a new regulationsized gymnasium that can support middle school athletics along with new performance spaces and classrooms to help support the music program.

The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library honored volunteer Vicky Reader with its 2017 “Best of Friends” award Tuesday, Oct. 17. Two dozen members of the group gathered at Ladera Grill in downtown Morgan Hill for a special luncheon to celebrate Vicky’s dedication and commitment to the organization. Friends of the Morgan Hill Library President Teresa Stephenson shared that Vicky has held nearly every board position—including president, secretary, newsletter editor, and membership chair (but not treasurer, as Vicky was quick to point out)— and also works a regular shift in the Friends bookstore, at the Morgan Hill Library, 660 W. Main Ave. Currently, Vicky Reader is responsible for speakers
forums and serves on the board of the Santa Clara County Library District Foundation. She played an important role in the successful 2005 Measure A Library Parcel Tax campaign, which provides ongoing funding for county libraries, according to a press release. In appreciation for her years of volunteer services and support of the library, the Friends of the Library presented Vicky with an engraved “Best of Friends” wooden box. Vicky also volunteers with the weekly ESL Conversation Club at the library, a program that helps individuals improve their English language skills. In recognition of these efforts, Adult Services Librarian Jeff Grubb gave her flowers and announced that a
donation to the Friends will be made in her honor. Oct. 15–21 was National Friends of Library Week, a time to recognize all members of the Friends and their support of the Morgan Hill Library. Founded in 1974, the Friends of the Morgan Hill Library is a group of volunteers who are committed to enhancing programs, services and facilities at the library in Morgan Hill. They raise money through memberships, donations and book sales. These funds are used to provide programs and activities and to purchase materials and furnishings not provided in the library budget.

On October 14-15, chapter officers from Sobrato Future Farmers of America attended a regional FFA leadership conference with more than 275 other students. The 2017 South Coast Region FFA Chapter Officer Leadership Conference offered opportunities to listen to various speakers and participate in workshops conducted by state and regional FFA leaders. The FFA is an organization that promotes premier leadership,
personal growth and career success—all qualities that were earned by those who attended this two-day conference. At this annual event, students attended a variety of workshops, which served to encourage and motivate the attending leaders to return to their schools with a new outlook on life, a positive attitude and new ideas. On Saturday night, FFA members had the opportunity to perform a lip sync routine and a dance. The many workshops and activities taught the
elected leaders to have a positive attitude and influence, as well as to stay away from negative aspects of society, such as drug abuse, low selfesteem and racism. “This conference was truly a unique experience where people from different communities and backgrounds were able to come together not only to learn, but to have a good time,” said Kyler Vernon, regional FFA president. Local FFA advisors attended the conference with the students on Sunday.

OUR TOWN JOHN MCKAY
Welcoming business to the local community
I
recently mentioned that the Morgan Hill Downtown Association, in partnership with the City of Morgan Hill, invited construction projects downtown to participate in a competition to see who could make their site the most interesting. The prize for this competition was a lunch for the construction crews, so there was little incentive other than the spirit of competition and lots of community spirit. The Leal organization’s site for the future Granada Hotel and Spa won the competition with a decorated fence and a construction site that really doesn’t look like either anymore. This is a great example of how to make a normally unsightly looking construction site blend back into the background. So I told some people about the competition and realized that the Leal organization was not being recognized for some of the other good things they do. I originally started writing this column because I didn’t feel that the community knew enough about so many of the good things being done in Morgan Hill, and this is a good example. The Leal organization became visible to most of us in Morgan Hill with its purchase of the old Granada Theater site. Little did we know that someone could save that old building (it was structurally unsafe), let alone make it a thriving business and contemporary landmark. It took a lot of resources to save that sentimental old building, but the Leal organization made it happen. Now we don’t have to rely on just memories of the building; we can be entertained and dine in an updated version that can now make new memories. For me, most of those memories are associated with the philanthropic work in the way of charitable fundraisers in that building.

We can be entertained and dine in an updated version that can now make new memories. New this year will be Rebekah Children’s Services’ “Festival of Trees” fundraiser which just moved to Morgan Hill from the swanky Corinthian in San Jose. The Live Oak High Booster Club will be the recipient of 25 percent of the receipts from the “Pasta for a Purpose” dinner. This is a takeoff of the “Pizza for a Purpose” event the Leal organization held in Hollister for their local needs. The Leal organization is a business and will conduct itself as one, as it has to. The organization is also very active philanthropically—it doesn’t have to be but it is. This organization is another example of how so many of our local businesses become partners in the community. I welcome them to the community. John McKay is president of the Morgan Hill Downtown Association, city planning commissioner and co-founder of the Morgan Hill Tourism Alliance.

Mount Umunhum is now open to the public! Located within the 18,000-acre Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve in Santa Clara County, it is one of the highest peaks in the Mid-Peninsula Open Space District’s Santa Cruz mountain range at 3,486 feet. From its spectacular summit, visitors can experience 360-degree views from the Pacific to the Sierra Nevada. This new destination also offers a rich nature experience that is accessible to visitors of all abilities, as well as unique opportunities to learn about Mount Umunhum’s significance to the Native American community, and the opportunity to connect to the mountain in your own way at the summit Ceremonial Space. It is also an opportunity to discover the Radar Tower (“the cube”), once a key part of the west coast’s missile defense system, and experience the mountain’s incredible biodiversity. Learn more at openspace.org/ mount-umunhum-sierra-azul. I am proud to support the Gilroy Police Foundation’s annual “Tee Off For Youth” Golf Tournament. Kudos to the many dedicated volunteers who organized this successful event last month that raised $25,000! All of the proceeds will benefit at-risk youth programs in South County, including The Late Night Gym, The Parent Project, Anti-Bullying Programs, Gilroy Unified School District’s Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support Program (PBIS) and Gilroy Youth Center (year-round free programming). The Gilroy Police Foundation raises awareness and community support for the department's priorities that the regular city budget does not fund. It’s impressive how much a small group of Gilroy citizens has accomplished since forming the Gilroy Police Foundation in 2015. They prove that individuals can make a big difference in public safety by supporting the “proactive policing” initiatives of their police department. In case you missed it, the Mercury News recently featured a great article about a local family farming operation: LJB Farms in San Martin. Congratulations to the Bonino family for 100 years of farming in Santa Clara County! If your fall plans include exciting and fresh adventures in locally grown food, then be sure to visit and support our farmers. The Country Crossroads map will lead you to more than 100 commodities you can purchase directly from local farms. And don’t forget to visit your community’s certified farmers’ markets.

OBITUARIES BETTY LOU JOHNSON MOTA SHERMAN
LINDA A PROPP
December 27, 1939 - September 24, 2017 A Celebration of Life Graveside Memorial will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 11am at Burwood Cemetery 28320 E River Rd Escalon, CA 95320 with a BBQ to follow for close family and friends.
B
etty Lou Johnson Mota Sherman 77, born December 27, 1939, passed away on September 24, 2017 after battling Alzheimer’s. Betty is survived by the love of her life, Al Sherman; her siblings Bob Johnson, Virgil McFarland Jr., Cheryl Holmes and Jeanie Geiger; her kids Brad Johnson, Stephanie Mota Jaussen, Steve Mota, Brian Mota, Lollie Mota, Alec Sherman, Nathan Sherman and Beth Sherman as well as numerous grandkids and great grandkids. She is preceded in death by both her parents Lloyd Johnson and Nola Linch McFarland, her brother Billy Leroy Johnson and her dog “Sorry”. Betty was fun and had a great sense of humor. She loved to sing, dance, read, create beautiful oilpaintings and shoot pool. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life like spending time with friends and family, a nice meal, a drive in the country or just watching the clouds and birds. She was extremely generous and donated to many charities. While in her thirties as a single parent of five children and with almost no formal preparation she entered the Nursing Program at Gavilan College in Gilroy. Betty received straight-A’s, was Class President, Valedictorian, gave the Commencement Address at her graduation and scored the highest on the State Board Nursing Exams of any Gavilan student at that date. Betty worked as a nurse for many years. The California Highway Patrol presented Betty with a Citizen’s Award for her bravery in crawling thru a broken-out passenger-side window to administer CPR for an extended period of time to the victim of a grizzly head-on crash between a bigrig and a sub-compact car. Betty suffered many hard-knocks and badbreaks in life but instead of withdrawing from life, she chose to develop deep compassion and caring for others. She was always asking people “How are you doing?”, because she genuinely wanted to know. Betty said “I care about people and I want to let them know that I care about them.” Betty treated people kindly. She found the good in people. She was understanding and forgiving. She touched many lives in beautiful ways. Betty was an amazing woman who rose above extremely difficult circumstances to achieve great things. She was fun, compassionate, wise, caring and loving. She was courageous, strong, accepting, supportive, kind and generous. She was appreciative of the smallest things, and very affectionate towards others. Betty was a wonderful wife, a great mother, grandmother and a dear friend to all who knew her. Betty was a strong woman who had strong love – a love that will never die. We can keep Betty’s love alive in our hearts by remembering what she would say: “Always remember how very much I love you. Be happy. Take good care of yourself.” `

Trustees urge caution on test score results ➝ Test Scores, 1
perfect the measurement of the exam statewide; that there’s some anomalies in the testing,” Ruebusch said. However, Ruebusch also drew positive results from this year’s math data, particularly that Morgan Hill secondary schools are “outperforming other high schools in Santa Clara Valley; in fact, every other high school,” she surmised. “We are seeing progress in the right direction.” At top-performing Ann Sobrato High School,
nearly three-fourths of 11th-grade students tested last year (73.69 percent) met or exceeded ELA standards while almost 50 percent met or exceeded math standards. Trustee David Gerard, who dismissed the state’s latest test scores when he spoke at the Oct. 17 meeting, changed his tone after researching the district’s claim and then “taking a deep dive into the data,” he said. While praising Webb for having “his heart in the right place,” Gerard did not believe

the state test scores were invalid. “I think this is an opportunity to review and target,” said Gerard, who wants to find solutions to improving scores of the low-income Hispanic students. “The
2017 SBAC results bring to light some very serious equity issues . … While this presents us with a huge challenge, I have no doubt that with excellent teachers and district leadership we will be successful.”
In Morgan HIll schools, about 34 percent of all Hispanic students tested met or exceeded ELA standards compared to nearly 67 percent among White students and 80 percent among
Asian students. In math, 23 percent of Hispanic students met or exceeded standards compared to nearly 57 among White students and nearly 74 percent among Asian students.
Free screening of racial injustice documentary ‘13th’ GUEST SPEAKERS ALSO PART OF NOV. 15 EVENT AT MH LIBRARY Showing Up for Racial Justice
South County will host a free screening of Ava Duvernay’s seminal documentary, entitled “13th,” from 6-9pm Nov. 15 at the Morgan Hill Library, 660 W. Main Ave. The movie explores “the
intersection of race, justice and mass incarceration in the United States,” according to the event announcement. The screening will be followed by two speakers: David Chappell, local historian and
founder of the nonprofit Literacy Legacies, who will speak about the history of stereotyping black people as criminals and how that impacts criminal justice today; and Reymundo Armendariz, program director
for Community Agency for Resources Advocacy & Services, who will speak about the incarceration of Latino populations. For more information, email Jordan Rosenfeld at jordansmuse@gmail.com.

but OFP serves a variety of people with service dog needs. One of their clients is a young girl prone to seizures, who gained a service dog that OFP staff and the girl’s family trained to detect upcoming episodes, Cortani said. The dog has simplified the family’s life together, and possibly even saved the client from serious injury or death. OFP’s property, which it currently leases from the commercial owner next door, includes a fenced-in, grassy training yard and numerous structures that house dog kennels and meeting spaces. The middle of the floor of an open warehouse is set up for group therapy and dog lounging. OFP is getting ready to begin a “capital campaign” to raise enough funds to purchase the property, which Cortani feels is the ideal permanent home for

to absenteeism),” Arnett said. “It’s a hit to our schools… .We need to get the word out there that little absences add up and have an impact to all our schools.” At the secondary sites, both middle schools, Britton and Martin Murphy, were above 95 percent but short of 96 percent, while Live Oak High School came in at just over 94 percent and Ann Sobrato High School at above 95 percent. Central Continuation High School recorded a
the organization. OFP’s county use permit is under a “one-year review” for potential modifications due to the nonprofit’s growth at the site.
Six nonprofits to benefit from Veterans Run OFP is one of five nonprofits that will benefit from the third annual Morgan Hill Veterans Run 5K/10K/Walk, which is scheduled for 9:45 a.m. Nov. 11 in the city’s downtown. The others are Gilroy-based Dreampower Horsemanship, which offers equine therapy for children, teens, adults and veterans throughout the South Bay; Wounded Warrior Project, a national organization that assists veterans with lifelong combat injuries; Taji 100, another run/walk charity challenge that raises funds for veterans service organizations;
87.25 percent attendance rate for 2016-17, according to the report. If all schools within the district maintained a 96 percent attendance rate, the school district would have been granted $3.3 million in additional funds from the state. “All of our school climate initiatives are aimed in part at increasing student attendance by working to ensure that our schools are safe, welcoming and engaging places for students,” Row added.
What is chronic absenteeism? The state defines a chronic absenteeism as a student who is absent for any reason on 10 percent or more of the school days in the school year, when the total number of days the student is absent is divided by the total number of days the student is enrolled. Students who miss nine days in the first semester—excused or unexcused— are considered chronically absent, according to Row’s presentation.
and the Morgan Hill Freedom Fest, for which Weston, organizer for the Veterans Day Run, is a director. OFP is slated to receive 25 percent of Veterans Day Run proceeds, while Dreampower and WWP will receive 10 percent. Taji 100 is tagged for 15 percent of the proceeds and Freedom Fest—which organizes annual Independence Day festivities in Morgan Hill—will gain 40 percent of funds raised. Last year’s Veterans Day Run raised $3,253 for the partners, Weston said. “I think Mary and Operation Freedom Paws is awesome,” Weston said. “I can't imagine the effort and intelligence she has to push this forward. I think they have some hurdles to get to a stable place, and I think she needs help in fundraising and operations. I hope it comes soon.” He added that he tagged the other beneficiaries or “partners” In Morgan Hill, three primary schools (El Toro, PA Walsh, Barrett) and one secondary school (Live Oak) had a 10 percent and higher absenteeism rate. Central, which works with the most atrisk students, showed a 58.6 percent rate, however. Conversely, Los Paseos was a district-best 4.2 percent absenteeism rate and Sobrato was the lowest among secondaries at 7.9 percent. “In addition, students who are chronically absent … have poorer educational outcomes than their peers who attend more regularly,” Row said. To combat persistent absences by any one student, the school site first sends three notification letters home with parent contact, intervention and support. If that doesn’t encourage parents to ensure their kid is attending school, the district then holds a School Attendance Review Board Hearing that may include mediation from the district attorney’s office. In worst cases, a criminal
VETERANS DAY RUN Support veterans organizations by running in the third annual Morgan Hill Veterans Day Run 5K/10K/Walk Nov. 11 in downtown Morgan Hill. The race will start at 9:45am at 17500 Depot St., allowing participants to attend the annual downtown Veterans Day memorial ceremony at 9am just a block away from the run/walk’s start and finish line (the ceremony will take place at Monterey Road and First Street).

for the Veterans Day Run because veterans have a variety of different needs after serving in combat. “Not everyone digs dogs, so there’s horse people (for example),” Weston said. “Most veterans don’t feel comfortable around people who can’t understand what they’re trying to say,” he continued. “It’s easier to say it to a veteran. That’s why these organizations are important; generally, veterans remain
silent. They think they can integrate into society on their own seamlessly (but) they can’t do it, fully. They need to talk it through, and express their feelings.” Registration remains open for the Veterans Day Run. More information about the event—including the different routes, registration fees, and schedule—can be found online at morganhillveter ansdayrun.com.
complaint can be filed against the parent. "There is no way to exaggerate the importance of being in the classroom consistently each day. … Studies show a clear and strong relationship between high attendance and high achievement,” Superintendent Steve Betando said. “Consistent attendance habits start as early as kindergarten as do habits of achievement. That consistency will lead them on one path or another, we want it to be the path of success."
district-wide, according to the report. Broken down by grade level, four expulsions were 12th grade students, three expulsions each were eighth and ninth graders while the other one was a 10th grader. All of the expelled students were Hispanic and from low socioeconomic status families. Those students do have a chance at readmission when they have met all of the terms of their rehab plan, according to the report. In fact, 43 students have been readmitted over the last five years. The number of suspensions jumped during the 2016–17 year with the district logging 401 suspensions among 320 students. In the previous year, there were 324 suspensions among 229 students. The seven-year data provided, however, shows a steep decline from 750 suspensions among 524 students in the 2010–11 school year. Middle schoolers accumulated the most suspensions in 2016–17, which Row said is “very typical.”
Expulsions, suspensions Also part of Row’s presentation was a summary of the district’s suspensions and expulsions from the 2016–17 school year with comparisons to previous school years. At Morgan Hill public schools, there were seven incidents that resulted in 11 expulsions, which was the same number from the 201516 school year. However, expulsions have been on a steep decline since 2009-10 when there were 40

Acorns gear up for showdown Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor
For the second time in three years—down to the exact week—Live Oak will travel up to South San Jose to take on Oak Grove with the winner taking control of its own Mt. Hamilton Division destiny. In the strangest year in the Blossom Valley Athletic League’s top division in years, the top two teams will collide with one league loss each. In years past, the winner (usually the Eagles) went undefeated to capture the league title. This year, Oak Grove suffered a stunning loss to Santa Teresa. Live Oak played a spectacular defensive game against Westmont, but lost 9-7. Now both teams are on a roll and both are eying
to take control with two games to follow for both teams. With four teams just one game back of the leaders, the loser will be mired in a battle for an automatic bid into the CCS playoffs. Oak Grove sits at 3-4 overall and 3-1 in league play. The Eagles have yet to score more than 28 points in a game and its highest margin of victory is 21 points after defeating Pioneer 27-6. But while this may not be the juggernaut of years past, Oak Grove is on a two-game winning streak and is starting to limit opposing teams’ offenses. Oak Grove will come at Live Oak with a pair of backs who are coming into
their own as the season progresses. Elijah Dominguez leads the team with 472 yards with Gabe Chavez with 321 yards. Meanwhile, Live Oak is coming into the game on a streak of its own. The Acorns just dispatched the same Santa Teresa team that knocked off Oak Grove 35-0 thanks to a defensive stand of the year. At the close of the first quarter into the second, the Saints went on a 64-yard, 17-play drive that included a fourth-down conversion. But the Acorn defense rallied to send Santa Teresa backward and settle for a 33-yard field goal attempt. The kick came up short, landing just underneath the cross bar.
RISING UP Live Oak’s Christian Guary is lifted high by Jack Rodrigues after he scored a touchdown. Live Oak turned around and went 80 yards on 18 plays capped with Cole Davis two-yard run. AJ Gustaveson went for 79 yards rushing and
touchdown and a receiving TD. Read a full version of the story online at morganhilltimes.com

The volleyball playoff seedings will be announced Saturday. First round matches will begin on Wednesday. Neither Live Oak nor Sobrato earned an automatic bid, so it will come down to a possible at-large berth with Sobrato holding the best chance out of the two teams. With losses this week, however, Sobrato might be on the outside looking in.

The Blossom Valley Athletic League tournament began Wednesday for the boys and girls water polo teams at Gunderson. The No. 4 seeded Sobrato boys will take on the highest seed remaining following Wednesday’s games. Sobrato will start Thursday to kick off the tournament for the right to advance to the semi-finals on Friday. If the Bulldogs advance, they will likely take on top seeded Leland unless No. 3 seeded Pioneer is upset on Thursday. The Sobrato girls, meanwhile, are seeded No. 2 and will play the highest remaining seed 1pm Friday at Gunderson. The Live Oak boys earned the No. 7 seed in the tournament and played Wednesday. Results from that game were not available by presstime. If the Acorns had won, they would likely take on Pioneer unless Gunderson also pulled off an upset. The losers of Thursday’s games will play for fifth place on Saturday morning. Those who advance to Friday’s semis will be guaranteed to at least play for third. The playoff seedings will be announced on Sunday and the first round of playoffs will begin Tuesday.

Bulldogs smash past Prospect; in driver’s seat for WV Div title Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor
“He wasn’t disappointed. He had a great game,” Holmes said. “He wasn’t disappointed and he wasn’t discouraged. He walked up to us and said next week going to get the milestone.” This week, Holmes said his boys need to not get caught up with the milestones they’re chasing or the record of the team in front of them. Lick is winless and has been blown out several times this season, including a 68-8 loss to Overfelt in September. Lick doesn’t have many stats up for this season, but it does like to try to run the ball but will have a quarterback who can throw it around. Holmes said the key is to stay disciplined and not allow Lick to get any kind of momentum. “The message this week is to not underestimated our opponent. We need to stay focused on our team goals,” Holmes said. Sobrato will kickoff at 7pm Friday in San Jose.

Sobrato got a gift Friday night in more ways than one. The boys were treated to donuts after shutting out Prospect 53-0 but the biggest treat came from news out of Evergreen Valley where Hill defeated the Cougars. That left Sobrato as the lone team in the West Valley Division to be unbeaten and with a clear path to a league title. The Bulldogs have winless James Lick and onewin Mt. Pleasant left on the schedule with a big date against Evergreen Valley still left. Sobrato saw big strides Friday night from its second and third stringers who stepped up to keep the shutout bid going. “There has been a push by the seniors during practice that has helped them mature a lot,” said coach Tony Holmes. “Earlier during season, we had so much focus on the starters trying to get ourselves better. We were try to get rolling with
our starters and seniors and didn’t get an opportunity to really hone in on the second and third string guys. But as the season started progressing and we started to get to rethink. We got things going in the right direction.” Holmes said Prospect started the game with its backup quarterback and by the third quarter, the Panthers had switched to their third string QB. The result was Holmes started to believe the shutout was possible. Meanwhile, John Bell threw for 116 yards and three touchdowns, getting past the 1,000 yard passing mark on the first play of the game. Bell now has 1,100 yards passing for the season. “He knew it the instant it happened,” Holmes said. “He came to sidelines and said ‘hey I got the record.’” Runningback Jared Jones is nearing his own 1,000 yard mark, rushing for 203 yards to get him to within 13 yards of 1,000. Jones also rushed for three touchdowns.
An Outlaw spirit The South County Outlaws Lacrosse club sponsored a “fall league” where more than 75 boys and girls played lacrosse for six weeks. The games were held on Sundays and consisted of ages 5-15. The fall league was purely recreational with an emphasis on building the skills to play lacrosse in the spring. The Outlaws will continue to build the game through winter clinics. The Rotary Club of Morgan Hill stepped in to provide a grant that allowed the organization to pruchase lacrosse gear for some of the players. In addition, the high school team from Christopher was also valuable in coaching the kids from all levels. The event has grown in a short time with 22 kids participating in a clinic two years ago to the now 78 kids who are now participating on a regular basis.
Sobrato boys fall in overtime thriller at Christopher Critzer scored twice inside of a minute in the first OT after Sobrato took a quick lead, scoring on a Jake Mendes goal with 2:32 left to play. Leading 11-10 going into the final OT period, Nolan Ciccone helped to put the game away with his fourth goal of the night. Andrew Silva gave Christopher some insurance with six seconds left when he tallied the team’s 13th goal. Russell Case and Jack Miles both had goals to round things out for the Cougars. In goal, Garrett Starks made 12 saves. Christopher opened strong against Sobrato, with Critzer giving the Cougars an early 2-0 lead when he scored within the first four minutes of the quarter.
Hatch found the back of the net 12 seconds after Critzer’s second goal to cut the lead in half, but Ciccone restored a twogoal margin with a score on Christopher’s ensuing possession. Before the half, Sobrato rallied to take a 5-4 lead on the back of Jyle Snopkowski who scored twice and one more from Clayton Sawyer. Christopher had opportunities throughout the period, forcing the Bulldogs into five turnovers and getting six shots on goal, including one that hit off the post. Sobrato, meanwhile, got Hatch rolling for two goals on its way to a 9-5 lead.
But a goal in the third from Case proved vital as it was enough to give the Cougars to mount a comeback in the fourth. Critzer got things rolling with a goal at the 5:34 mark of the fourth. Ciccone followed up with a goal at the 3 minute mark to cut the deficit in half. Critzer hit a big goal 20 seconds later to get the game down to a single score. Starks came up big with five saves in the fourth quarter to give his offense a chance on the other end. Ciccone found the equalizer with 1:41 left to play in regulation, setting up the dramatics in the fourth quarter.

Between the second and third quarters, the Sobrato boys water polo team out scored Christopher 7-1 to see an early 4-2 deficit vanish. But the switch flipped in the fourth quarter. On senior night, the Cougars rallied from being four goals down to force overtime and eventually come away with a 13-10 victory over Sobrato. Jacob Hatch had four goals to lead the Bulldogs, but shutout in the fourth quarter and overtime as Christopher out scored Sobrato 8-1 in the final frames. Chris Critzer had six goals, including the go ahead goal with one second left in the first overtime period.

but in the middle of each game, Prospect did what it needed to take the match. In Game 1, Fields recorded a big kill to put Sobrato up 9-8 early, but Prospect followed with a 4-0 run to take control. Sobrato battled back to tie the game at 15, but a short run put the Panthers up 18-15 before a kill and an ace from Fields evened the contest at 20. Ultimately, despite a kill from Hailey Jones and Naya Ivery to keep things close, Prospect closed out the set on a 5-2 run to close things out. In the second set, Sobrato managed to limit Prospect’s scoring runs to eventually take a 17-13 lead. The Bulldogs got an ace from Turnispeed, a kill from Jessica Byrum and two kills from Fields for the early lead that helped the Bulldogs survive two four-point runs. However, unforced errors coast the Bulldogs and allowed Prospect to ride a 9-1 scoring run to
take a four-point lead. Sobrato didn’t go down quietly, as the Bulldogs went on a 5-2 scoring run to nearly steal a game. But a service error denied the Bulldogs to go further. In the third set, it looked like Prospect was going to send things quickly. After Sobrato went up 10-5 to start things off, Prospect rattled off a 10-2 scoring run to take the lead. Sobrato initially got off the ropes, scoring a 6-2 run of its own to take an 18-17 lead, but the end of the set was all Prospect. An 8-3 scoring run finally put the match to bed. Before the game, the seniors were treated to kind words from their teammates as well as photos with their parents. Afterward, coach Brewer made sure to get a team photo and a picture with the seniors. “It’s going to be very hard losing them. It’s been my first season coaching

In front of a ruckus crowd Thursday night, the Sobrato volleyball team closed out its regular season home schedule with senior night. The Bulldogs bade farewell to seven girls who will be graduating at the end of the school year with some heart-felt words from their teammates. And Sobrato parleyed the emotion of the night into an exciting battle with undefeated Prospect, but ultimately the Panthers proved to be too much. The Bulldogs fell in straight sets 25-22, 25-23, 25-21. Coach Julia Brewer said the excitement may have overwhelmed her girls at times, but she was still proud of the effort. “The energy was phenomenal tonight and the girls fed off of it. Sometimes they got a little overwhelmed, but it’s OK, they brought it back,” Brewer said. The Bulldogs took
Prospect to the limit in all three sets, holding a tie at 20-all in two out of three sets and trailed by one at 24-23 in the second game. “It was hard-fought the whole entire game. It was just the errors. I feel like they let the atmosphere get to them to where they almost got too overwhelmed,” Brewer said. “But it was a good game and props to Prospect.” But a couple of injuries before and during the match didn’t help things against a stout Prospect team. Jenna Fields—who led the team with six kills and provided some momentum-shifting attacks—had to leave the third game when she game down awkwardly on her leg. In her final match in front of a home crowd, Taylor Tran came away with 40 digs with Mackenzie Turnipseed adding three blocks, 11 digs and two aces. The efforts helped to propel Sobrato to early leads and late surges,

I’m proud of them and I’m ready to see where they go in college.” Struggles on the road Sobrato saw its losing streak got to three matches after a 3-1 loss at Silver Creek on Monday.
The Bulldogs fell 25-14, 26-24, 23-25, 25-23 to drop their fifth match in Santa Teresa Division play. Sobrato closed out the season against Andrew Hill needing five games to put the match away. Sobrato prevailed 25-23, 25-15, 25-27, 21-25, 15-9. Jessica Byrum led the team with eight kills.
Rams drop first Coast Conference match at Foothill Gavilan split a pair of matches last week, including a big conference matchup with Foothill, to now sit at 14-5 overall and 4-1 in conference play. The Rams swept Cañada quickly on Oct. 18 before falling to Foothill
two days later in as many sets. Against Cañada, Gavilan cruised to a 25-18, 25-9, 25-17 victory behind the attack of Haley Leifheit who finished with 11 kills. Sarah Weiby added eight.
Christa Arroyo had 22 assists with Mikeila Banda and Katia Dizon adding 18 and 15 digs, respectively. It was a good night for the bench as 13 players took the floor in the win. Against Foothill, however, the Rams ran into
