A new county-funded animal shelter is on its way to San Martin in a long-overdue project that proponents say will significantly expand South County's ability to house, rehabilitate and find homes for countless rescued animals.

“This is exciting for us,” said Lisa Jenkins, who is in her third year as shelter supervisor and also acts as the interim program manager at the existing 40-year-old facility located on Murphy Avenue. “The current facility is quite antiquated. Looking at that facility, a lot of people don’t realize the great work and life-saving that goes on inside its walls.”

County officials were scheduled to unveil their plans for the proposed San Martin animal shelter at a Nov. 1 community meeting at the South County Office Building located at 80 Highland Ave., right near where the new facility will be built. The meeting was held after this paper’s print deadline. They are expected to break ground in early 2019, according to Jenkins.

The new shelter, which will replace the cramped quarters of the aging facility located at 12370 Murphy Ave., “will enhance animal care and safety with modern technology, include an upgraded adoption center, and add a barn to house abandoned horses and other livestock,” according to the county report.

A feasibility study completed in 2012 recommended an increase in space to safely and effectively care for animals,

Despite Morgan Hill Unified’s board of education supporting Charter School of Morgan Hill in its application for state rehabilitation funds, local school district leaders refuse to give the charter a passing grade necessary for them to qualify for the $11.5 million request.

In doing so, the California School Finance Authority rejected the independent charter school’s application 1

Even though Gonzalez is almost completely blind—due, he thinks, to years of welding in a previous career—the new light in his bedroom will allow him to watch his

beloved Dallas Cowboys on a small flat-screen television.

“The people that were here were beautiful,” said Gonzalez. “Too bad I couldn’t meet every one of them.

They did a fantastic job!”

Gonzalez purchased the single-story Morgan Hill home with his late wife Carmen in 1977.

That was after the couple moved here with

Ascencion’s parents in 1960, to “pick the easy money from the ground: prunes.”

Since then, Gonzalez has worked in a variety of labor jobs, including farming, construction, mechanics and leather crafting. For about 15 years, he sold NFL merchandise at the Capitol ➝ Rebuilding, 14

District resists charter funding request

because the charter was not “in good standing with its authorizer” and, therefore, “not financially sound for a program award,” according to the state agency in charge.

At stake is the funding for a modernization and upgrade project—identified by both the charter school and the Morgan Hill district as a crucial need—at the campus north of Morgan Hill, which is owned by the district.

In a Sept. 26 letter to the state finance authority, Morgan Hill Assistant Supt. Kirsten Perez charged the charter school with not complying with the conditions of its petition—most notably not submitting adequate

financial statements—and failing to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the authorizing district, among other things.

“Although CSMH continues to operate in the district, it has failed to meet many of the criteria outlined in its original petition, (and) failed to meet many of the stipulations under which the petition was renewed,” wrote Perez in her correspondence to Linda Sawin of the state finance authority.

With a potential $11.5 million in Proposition 51 funding on the line, charter school director Paige Cisewski has not given up hope and has since appealed to the Morgan Hill school board, which

granted the local charter permission five months ago to move forward with the application process.

Cisewski is requesting that the district either withdraw its Sept. 26 letter to the state or pass a resolution at its Nov. 7 meeting “regarding good standing and compliance with the terms of the charter” so they can still be considered for the grant money. They have until Nov. 15 to make that happen.

“The district administration’s verbal and written communications to CSFA lacks any factual basis and appears to be nothing more than an attempt to undermine CSMH’s Prop. 51 application and to circumvent

the decision and intent of the majority of the Board of Trustees,” wrote Cisewski in her Oct. 26 letter to Morgan Hill school trustees.

Morgan Hill Board of Trustees President Donna Ruebusch has kept tabs on the situation since the trustees gave CSMH the ability to pursue the grant money. However, Ruebusch said the charter school has failed to file its financial report with the district office.

“From what I understand, the district has not received that document in the format necessary for the district to say, ‘We know that they are financially secure,’” Ruebusch said. ➝ Charter, 10

Special to the Times

THE WHOLE FAMILY Louis, Frank, Clorinda (mother), Salvatore ( father), “Uncle” Salvatore and Richard Masoni lived on what is now Lewis Street in Gilroy when Frank left to serve with the Marine Corps and fight in the Battle of Tarawa in 1943. His brothers were later recruited to serve in other branches of the military, and all of them saw combat.

Gilroy resident Frank Louis Masoni died in combat just two days after landing with the U.S. Marine Corps at Tarawa Atoll in the South Pacific in November 1943.

Nearly three-quarters of a century later, in the summer of 2017, his remains were positively identified by military officials, and his South County descendants will finally get to bury him.

The Defense POW/ MIA Accounting Agency is in the process of transporting Masoni’s full skeletal remains—which were in an unnamed grave at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu for decades—to his 90-year-old brother, Richard.

Richard, who still lives in Gilroy, and his sons, daughters and other family are planning a Nov. 18 burial service.

“I’m so happy he’s getting a chance to return home after all these years,” said Gilroy resident Lanna Sandoval, Frank Masoni’s niece and Richard’s daughter.

“It’s so emotional. I wish his other brothers would have had the chance to be alive during this time.

And I’m happy my dad has the opportunity to see this in his lifetime.”

Frank Masoni was the oldest of four brothers who grew up in a home on Chestnut Street—now Lewis Street—in Gilroy.

Their parents, Clorinda and Salvatore Masoni, were Italian immigrants.

All four of their sons served in the military.

Frank Masoni enlisted first at the age of 20, and went to Marine Corps basic training in South Dakota before his deployment to the South Pacific theater of World War Two. Richard, the youngest of the four siblings, was 16 when he dropped his oldest brother off for his trip to basic training at the bus station in Gilroy.

“He didn’t realize that would be the last time he would see him,” Sandoval said.

Sandoval and her sister Clorinda Sergi shared these details of their family history one recent afternoon at Sergi’s Morgan Hill home. Although

Masoni’s nieces and nephew never met their uncle, they grew up hearing stories about him and confirmed he was a dutiful older brother.

“He always looked out for Dad,” Sandoval said. “He smoked, but he wouldn’t give Dad any cigarettes.”

The government notified Frank Masoni’s parents in December 1943 that their son, an Assistant Cook in the Marine Corps, died in combat Nov. 21.

Although his death was confirmed, the location of his remains was “unknown” due to the massive number of casualties on the battlefield, and the lack of sophisticated identification methods at the time, according to Masoni’s official government file, copies of which were provided to his brother and nieces in August.

‘Horrendous’ battle

During the Battle of Tarawa, Masoni was assigned to Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. Specifically, he participated in the invasion of Betio Island.

“Its personnel, men primarily in support jobs, were not normally used as infantry, but during the first two days of fighting on Betio, every man supported the fighting in any way possible,” reads the DPAA’s narrative of the battle and Masoni’s involvement.

Sandoval added, “The battle was so horrendous. He survived day one, and died the second day.”

As soldiers died during the battle, the living gathered their bodies and moved them to collection points for burial.

The bodies received temporary burials on the island or, in some cases, burials at sea.

“The Marines just buried as they went, and made makeshift graves,” Sergi said. “He did not have his dog tags on him when he died.”

The remains of hundreds of American soldiers who died in the Tarawa Atoll were then transported to other locations in efforts to identify them, according to Masoni’s file. By 1949, “after every effort available at the time to identify the remains,” the bodies of Masoni and other soldiers were buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of

LOYAL SOLDIER Frank Masoni was an Assistant Cook in the Marine Corps when he died at the Battle of Tarawa in World War Two in 1943. the Pacific, also known as the “Punchbowl” cemetery.

Then in October 2016, DPAA gained authorization to re-examine the remains of soldiers who died at Betio Island and exhumed numerous graves, Masoni’s among them. Officials identified Masoni by comparing dental x-rays, a chest radiograph and other records with his skeletal remains.

‘Been a long time’

That led to DPAA’s contact with Richard Masoni this summer, and the promise that the family will finally be able to bury Frank Masoni’s remains—as his parents wanted.

The government’s file on Masoni’s service and death includes copies of six hand-written letters sent by his mother to the government between 1944 and 1948, reminding officials that she was still waiting for his remains.

“I am very much interested in having his body returned home.

Would appreciate all you can do,” reads a November 1946 letter from Frank Masoni’s mother to the General Accounting Office in Washington, D.C. Frank Masoni didn’t have any children, but he has a large crew of surviving nieces, nephews and their families, many of whom still live in South County.

“The Masoni family can now have closure as we ponder the fact that freedom isn't free,” Sandoval added.

Richard Masoni’s daughters said the return of his brother has been too emotionally overwhelming for him to speak extensively about it. But he said in a written statement delivered

by Sandoval, “It’s been a long time and I’m glad it’s happening.”

No major damage in Oct. 31 Odeum restaurant fire Morgan Hill Fire Battalion Chief Jim Galassi.

“It was a small appliance fire,” Galassi said.

“The sprinkler system did its job and had it knocked down by the time we got there.”

The restaurant and part of the adjacent building’s interior were “charred with smoke,” but there appeared to be little or no fire damage, Galassi

added. The restaurant also suffered some water damage from the sprinkler system.

Nobody was inside the restaurant or the building at the time of the fire, and Galassi did not know how the appliance caught on fire.

Odeum was closed Oct. 31 for lunch, but reopened for dinner later that evening.

OPINION LETTERS San Martin a dumping ground, rural raceway

GUEST VIEW SEN. BILL MONNING

Show gratitude to veterans

S

ince the election last November, Americans are experiencing, with more frequency, encounters with people who have extremely different opinions from their own. However, when it comes to the men and women who valiantly serve our country, there is rarely disagreement that they deserve our support for the sacrifices they and their loved ones make to defend our country and the principles on which it was built.

It is more important than ever that we stand steadfast as a nation to support military personnel during and after their service, and it was almost 100 years ago this November, in 1918, when the events of World War One provided the basis for what is now known as Veterans Day. Noting the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, an agreement to cease fire was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in Compiegne, France, bringing

to an end the Great War. Originally known as Armistice Day in recognition of this interruption in the war, the observance was formally declared a federal holiday in the U.S. in 1938. Extending the holiday to honor all military men and women after World War Two and the Korean War, it was officially renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

As we celebrate Veterans Day this year, I hope you will join me and express gratitude to our service women and men who dedicate themselves on our behalf to protect our great country. It is because of our confidence in them that we live without the fear of invasion or harm to our families as we go about our daily lives. To all of you who serve, you have my thanks and appreciation. I salute you and hope you stay safe.

Sen. Bill Monning represents the 17th State Senate District, which includes all of San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz counties, and portions of Monterey and Santa Clara counties.

In all honesty, the part that disturbs me the most is the lack of suspensions and the steep decline. There is a need for them and they aren’t happening. I know first hand. Big reason why I moved 2 of my kids out of MHUSD.

Back in the 80s our son missed a lot of his junior year due to allergy related problems. The school called me to check if his absences were legitimate. The individual said that they would be losing money over these absences. What struck me was that they didn't really care why our son was missing school, just the money they would lose. No one asked how he was doing.

For years, San Martin residents have voiced concerns to the county for approving construction without considering concerns of residents. In recent years, San Martin residents have been victims of perchlorate contamination from Olin Corporation, the Waste Transfer Site next to the elementary school and the recurring raw sewage contamination assault from Morgan Hill.

Last winter, when the sewer trunk system (managed

by Morgan Hill and Gilroy) spilled hundreds of gallons of raw sewage onto Llagas Creek, San Martin roads and farmland, neither city would claim responsibility to ensure San Martin residents (and the environment) were safe.

And now we are watching San Martin become a rural speedway! On the rural roads of San Martin, where equestrians could once meander, commuters zoom at highway speeds, having no respect for the residents and the serene country roads.

The community of San Martin needs immediate action, and attention placed on the damage and danger speeding commuters are inflicting. Truckers notoriously use the roads as a detour from U.S. 101, and daily commuters are following suit. Through these rural roads, drivers are racing at excessive speeds down Columbet, Middle, Murphy and Sycamore avenues.

Residents—attempting to exit their driveways or just to retrieve their mail—are jeopardizing their lives as they dodge rude, horn-honking, reckless speeding drivers.

Were traffic studies really considered when Morgan Hill and Gilroy approved their many massive housing developments? Was the unincorporated rural community of San Martin ever taken into consideration?

Back in 2000, dispiritedness within the community grew and a few residents formed the San Martin Neighborhood Alliance (SMNA) in order to provide one voice for the community. Year after year, SMNA and advocates for keeping San Martin’s rural integrity have continued to speak up at the Santa Clara County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meetings about the dangerous scenarios we face on the rural roads in San Martin.

Unfortunately, most county representatives do not live in South County; nor are they familiar with the rural lifestyle many in San Martin live and how it differs from the big city.

SMNA (sanmartinneighbor.org) continues to address concerns of large developments that are being proposed in San Martin. Some applications submitted for development in San Martin include proposals on Sycamore Avenue, San Martin Avenue, California Avenue and Monterey Road. These projects WILL significantly impact our rural roads and neighborhoods.

These applications should necessitate LOCAL TRAFFIC SAFETY studies.

There is a county document known at the San Martin Integrated Design Plan (SMIDP), which is supposed to be the guidelines used when building in San Martin. The rural roads of San Martin were not designed for heavy commuter traffic, nor daily treks of semi-trucks escaping the U.S. 101 check stops or hauling enormous daily loads.

The San Martin community is also being used as an “unauthorized park-n-ride” by commuters. There are several areas near Mama’s Market where the soft shoulder of the road is being ruined by commuters parking their vehicles there all day. Then, upon returning to their vehicles, drivers are regularly seen congregating and drinking alcohol until dusk at the corner of Sycamore and San Martin Avenues.

Why is this outdoor bar activity being ignored by the authorities? This just compounds an already dangerous combination of heavy traffic, with impatient drivers, who are now intoxicated. Not only should there be “no parking” signs, but also “no drinking in public.”

Furthermore, there is consternation about the additional proposed project at this location for a portapotty storage business. In addition to the concerns about more traffic, there are valid environmental concerns due to the proximity of this business being along Llagas Creek. This is entirely absurd!

Residents are sharing facts about auto accidents of loved ones that continue to take place throughout San Martin.

It seems from all the online comments from San Martin neighbors, that something needs to take place. Here are some general ideas: 1) a better sheriff presence; 2) “local traffic only” signage; 3) speed bumps; 4) more four-way stop signs; 5) yellow flashing warnings to slow down. Although this may impact residents from getting around, it will improve chances of surviving another day on the road.

San Martin residents need your support!

Halloween a hit in downtown MH Hundreds of small heroes, villains, cartoon characters, farm animals and more—along with their costumed parents—took over downtown Morgan Hill for a brief outing the night of Halloween. Shop and restaurant owners held the invaders at bay by donning their own disguises and offering candy payoffs.

Luckily, the looters meant no harm and nothing but fun and good times were reported. The

Oct. 31 scene, known as the annual Safe Trick Or Treat event, was organized by the City of Morgan Hill and the Downtown Association.

Monterey Road and downtown side streets were closed to vehicle traffic in order to give the costumed families free reign of the neighborhood and maximize their treat stores and partake in street games.

OBITUARIES RICHARD “DICK” MANFRE November 10, 1926 - October 27, 2017

R

ichard (Dick) Manfre passed away in the early morning of Friday, October 27, 2017, at his home in Hollister at the age of 90.

Dick was surrounded by his loving family in the days prior to his death.

The family doted on him as his sisters, nieces and nephews visited to share in the laughter and storytelling of each ones unique relationship with him. This is a man who knew without question, he was truly loved.

Dick was born in Medford, Mass. on November 10, 1926 to Irene and Hugo Manfre.

He shared his birth with his identical twin, Robert (Bob). He enjoyed being the eldest by seven minutes. As WWII was underway, Dick enlisted in the Navy, leaving Medford High School in his senior year, 1944. His military service ended in the Philippines aboard LST 749 when it was attacked and sunk. After recuperating from extensive injuries, Dick returned home to Medford where he married Barbara Quinlan. Together, they had three children, Loretta, Richard and Charlene. Dick was a proud veteran and graduate of his beloved Boston College.

In 1949, the family of four relocated to Watsonville where Charlene was born. Family life and a career in the banking industry took them to San Jose. Ultimately, Dick began a career as a self-employed Real Estate Appraiser. Appraising became his life’s work. It was through this career that he was able to make and sustain life long friendships within the industry. At the age of 85, Dick made the decision to hang up his tape measure and retire.

Dick was blessed with his life partner Teresa, whom he met through his association with the British American Club. Married on November 10, 1975, on Maui, they enjoyed 42 years of marriage, traveling, dancing, laughing and living life to the fullest.

Dick is survived by his wife, Teresa, his three children, Loretta, Richard and Charlene. Four grandchildren, Ty Moran, Aaron Moran, Ryan Manfre, Sierra Manfre, eight great-grandchildren, sisters Beverly Van Sant, Jeri Hawsey and sisters-in law Shirley Manfre and Donna Manfre and numerous nieces and nephews.

District says charter reports inadequate ➝ Charter, 1

Board majority supports CSMH application

Prop. 51, which allows for $9 billion in public school facilities bonds, was passed by voters in November 2016 and a portion of those funds were set aside solely for public charter schools.

In its application, the Morgan Hill charter school requested financing for an $11,577,416 project with half coming from Prop 51 and half via a matching loan from the state. The project includes modernization of four restrooms and nine permanent classrooms as well as modernization or replacement of 11 portable classrooms, according to a May 16 district report.

“It is frustrating and confusing to understand why the district administration appears to be doing everything in their power to thwart our attempt to apply for Proposition 51 funding,” Cisewski said.

In May, the Morgan Hill school board voted 5–2 to approve the application authorization, which went against the school district administration’s recommendation.

Trustees Gino Borgioli, David Gerard, Teresa Murillo, Mary Patterson and Vice President Tom Arnett voted in favor of the charter school’s request, while Ruebusch and Ron Woolf were against it. As part of the application process, a charter school must gain permission from its authorizer to be eligible.

At that time, the district was worried about losing full control over future considerations for the charter school’s Encinal site (9530 Monterey Road), if the state funds were used for facility upgrades.

The school district also is concerned about the risk of having to take on the remainder of the state loan portion if the charter school somehow closed or moved.

Since then, Cisewski said the district tried to delay the application process when Morgan Hill School Superintendent Steve Betando “would not sign the Office of Public School Construction document indicating that the district supported our submission of an application.”

CSMH not in compliance?

The charter school, which would have learned in January 2018 if they received any or all of its grant request, is now in limbo over whether they are still being considered for the funds, Cisewski said.

She also cited the district’s $700 million Facilities Master Plan, which outlines a wish list of upgrades and renovations needed at existing Morgan Hill schools as well as new construction of future schools.

“They need hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations, so you would think that wherever anybody can find money, they should be going after it,” Cisewski said.

Instead, Perez, in

her letter to the state financing authority, outlined the charter school’s failure to address conditions attached to its petition, including deficit spending, monthby-month cash flow projections, distribution of “common and fair data” on state test scores and implementation of a weighted lottery enrollment system that gives “a 2-to-1 preference to socioeconomically disadvantaged students.”

Cisewski said her charter school staff had addressed each of the conditions attached to their five-year renewal petition. Her staff sent those clarifications to the district as part of the annual report, according to Cisewski.

Ruebusch also thought the annual report presentation at the Oct. 17 meeting would have cleared up any lingering questions regarding the charter school’s compliance, but said she was disappointed with the absence of any facts and figures. Instead, the charter school chose to give a presentation on its agricultural science program.

Ruebusch wanted to know if the charter was still operating at a deficit, and what corrective measures it was taking to improve its financial condition.

The charter school recently received $5 million in Measure G funds from the school district to build its new constructed multi-purpose facility.

Animal services prepare for new facilities ➝ Shelter, 1

Mike Wasserman, who represents District 1 where the new shelter would be located. “We welcome comments and ideas from residents to ensure that vulnerable animals are properly sheltered and ultimately find loving homes.”

The existing shelter houses approximately 3,000 dogs and cats each year, and is the only shelter in Santa Clara County that cares for large livestock and horses. The new plans will increase the number of horse stables to eight as well as have a pasture for the horses to exercise, rehabilitate and roam free, Jenkins shared.

“We’ve obviously been pushing for this for a long time,” Jenkins said. “I’m so excited. The possibilities just seem endless now....The

community can get a shelter that they can be proud of.”

The new shelter will cost $26 million and was approved as part of the county’s budget.

Wasserman, along with representatives from the Animal Shelter Program, Consumer and Environmental Protection Agency, Facilities Department and Planning Office, were expected to be on hand at the Nov. 1 meeting to lead the discussion and answer questions from residents.

“Animal Services is dedicated to helping the wide variety of homeless animals in the community; however, since it was not intended to house animals for extended periods, it is challenging to optimize their physical and mental wellbeing,” according to the county’s announcement for the new shelter.

Robert Eliason

and evaluated 80 Highland Ave. as a potential location for the new 4.5-acre shelter, according to county staff.

The site will include a 36,000 square-foot, one-story shelter; a 2,500 gross-square-foot barn, and exercise yards; and a parking lot. An attractive and welcoming new facility will increase community engagement, raise awareness of animal welfare issues in the county, and increase the number of adopted pets.

“The proposed shelter facilities reflect the growing needs of the South County community for a larger adoption center, modern animal-care technology and temporary housing for abandoned livestock,” said County Supervisor

MOVING OUT Interim shelter supervisor Kim Burgess stands next to an

art piece outside the 40-year-old Santa Clara County Animal Shelter in San Martin, which gets some new shingling put on its roof.

Nonprofit rebuilds homes for needy ➝ Rebuilding, 1

Flea Market under his own “Cowboy Sporting Goods” label.

For about nine years, during the 1970s and 1980s, Gonzalez volunteered for the Morgan Hill Fire Department.

Now retired, Gonzalez enjoys spending time with his great-grandkids, to whom he is trying to pass on his knowledge of leatherwork.

Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley makes it a mission to help homeowners like Gonzalez, who are elderly, disabled and low on income. The nonprofit thrives on its volunteers to perform the work at various home rehabilitation projects.

Also in Morgan Hill Oct. 28, Rebuilding Together made some improvements at two homes at Hacienda Valley Mobile Estates on Burnett Avenue.

At the home of Audrey Henderson, 78, the crews installed some safety and mobility features, including hand railings and steps.

They also painted and did some cleanup, according to Rebuilding Together spokeswoman Terry Gallo.

Julie Gresham. Work there included unclogging the kitchen sink, repairing the carport door lock, installing handrails and half-steps, and some landscape maintenance.

Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley, which has overseen numerous rebuilding days in Morgan Hill in recent years, is preparing for a big push into South County, particularly Gilroy, in the coming months, Gallo said.

“We want to let South County know we’re available and we want them to utilize our services,” Gallo said.

She added that the Oct. 28 projects in Morgan Hill “went very smooth,” thanks largely to the Rotary Club and sponsor Mission Bell, which is based in Morgan Hill.

Homeowners in need of repairs must meet certain income requirements in order to qualify for a Rebuilding Together project, Gallo explained. All the projects are completed at no cost to the homeowner. Interested homeowners can gain more information and apply for a project by visiting rebuildingtogethersv.org, or calling (408) 578-9519.

Live Oak was reeling from dropping two games it should have won against Oak Grove and was one set away from finishing the season on a down note.

The Acorns girls volleyball team had led 24-22 in Set 2 and had forced a 25-all tie in Set 3 to get that close to a sweep of the Eagles.

Errors, fouls and a shaky serve receive put Live Oak on the brink when the girls staged a rally.

Live Oak dominated Game 4 and breezed through Game 5 for a dramatic come-from-behind win that got the gym rocking for the final time this season.

The Acorns won 25-18, 25-27, 25-27, 25-17, 15-5 to close out the 2017 season.

“It was great. They worked their butts off for this one,” said coach Pete

Borja. “It came down to five games. All the games were close. We kind of took it too them in the fifth one. They got the adrenaline going, they had the energy and everyone stayed together. It was nice.”

Zoie Brotherton had two kills late in the fifth set put Live Oak to within one of a victory and a shot that went long sealed the win.

Brotherton finished with seven kills on the night and an ace as part of three seniors who bade farewell to the team in a prematch ceremony.

Sarah Carmichael went out with seven kills, four blocks and an ace with Josilyn Layon recording four kills, four aces and a block.

Sophomore Kerra Blotz and freshman Sofia Lacerda both finished with three aces on the night.

Borja said he tried to mix up the lineup to give everyone a chance to get on the floor during the last game of the season.

“They all pitched in and all did well,” Borja said.

“It was good they showed resilience and fought back.”

BLOCKING OUT Live Oak’s Kendall Kirk goes up for a block against Oak Grove

during a dramatic five-game match that closed out the regular season.

Live Oak got rolling early in the opening set on the serving on Blotz who helped the Acorns build a 12-4 lead.

Oak Grove showed sparks of life that had led the Eagles to a 3-1 win earlier in the season behind the hitting and serving of Lauren Innerst who helped to squelch Live Oak’s early run. She finished with eight kills and three aces.

Live Oak held back the Eagles’ threat even though

they got to within three at 20-17.

But a kill from Lacerda along with two aces allowed Live Oak to pull out the 25-18 win.

With their backs against the wall, Live Oak came out firing.

The Acorns were determined not to allow Oak Grove spoil senior night.

Oak Grove took a 2-0 lead early but Live Oak responded with a 14-3 scoring run to take a commanding lead.

“The fourth game was pivotal,” Borja said. “The girls didn’t want to lose on their senior night.

We had a few seniors out there and they never really came out of the game. They wanted it and everyone on the bench wanted with them it too.

The energy was up. It was a team effort.”

LO looks to regroup vs Pioneer Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor

san jose—Turnovers and missed opportunities cost Live Oak Friday night at Oak Grove, falling 42-16 and dropping out of first place in the Mt. Hamilton Division.

The Acorns drop into a three-way tie for second along with Westmont and Piedmont Hills who all have two losses in league play. Right now, the Acorns are still in position to claim one of the four automatic playoff berths, but will now likely have to win out to be assured a spot.

Live Oak falls to 4-4 overall and 3-2 in Mt. Hamilton Division play.

Live Oak now has pressure to avoid catching a Palma or another high seed in the playoffs needing to win its next two games.

The Acorns coming into the night were projected to earn a No. 4 seed in the Division III playoffs, but the loss combined with three of the Top 5 projected seeds winning could mire Live Oak in the middle of the bracket.

That could force Live Oak to hit the road come playoff time against the likes of a Seaside, Aptos or Palma.

The Acorns will have a chance to keep pace with teams vying for second place hosting Pioneer Friday at 7pm.

The Mustangs are 3-5 overall and 2-3 in league play and are coming off a 17-7 loss to Santa Teresa.

Pioneer is led by runningback Eddie Orozco, who has 1,155 yards and 10 touchdowns. Quarterback Ryan Wallace balances things out

with a passing game that has 750 yards passing and seven touchdowns against four interceptions.

“We’re going to do our best to stop him. I think we have good run defense.

We’ve done really well stopping run lately,” said coach Mike Gemo. “The playoffs pretty much start this week for us. We’ve got to win out.”

Live Oak Coach Mike Gemo was not happy with the mistakes, but was quick to praise Oak Grove for playing well.

“We gave them a few easy ones there at the beginning, some of it was mistakes we made but give it to them. They were able to capitalize on it and win the football game,” Gemo said.

Live Oak played well defensively most of the night, limiting the damage

Bulldogs on cusp of WV league title week we’ve gotten better and other people getting involved.”

On top of the implications with a league title, the Bulldogs are also chasing records.

Jared Jones is 62 yards away from matching Miguel Redmond’s 2012 mark of 1,283 rushing yards in a season. With two regular season games left, plus playoffs, Jones should easily match and pass that mark.

Quarterback John Bell is also five passing touchdowns away from breaking the single season for passing touchdowns as well as besting his total in passing yards.

Ryan Monahan is also chasing receiving record in both receptions and yards.

Looking ahead to Mt. Pleasant, Holmes said the key is going to stay healthy. With rain in the forecast, Holmes said the risk of rolled ankles or knees is high.

“Probably the two biggest factors are the environment,” Holmes said.

“The weather is one and

their run game is the other. They like to run and run a lot. When you run a lot in wet weather, it opens for the potential for injuries.”

Win over James Lick Sobrato took a significant step closer toward clinching a league title with an impressive offensive performance against James Lick Friday night, winning 76-28.

Jared Jones had his fourth 200-plus yard rushing game, going for 234 yards and three touchdowns. He also had two receiving touchdowns.

Jones has now smashed his way passed the 1,000yard rushing mark, going for 1,221 on the season.

Quarterback John Bell threw for 216 yards and five touchdowns, completing 12 of 16 passes.

Two of the touchdowns went to Ryan Monahan, who had 44 yards receiving, and the fifth went to Marcos Ramirez.

Monahan also had an interception returned for a score along with Harrison Zhang.

Sobrato is one game away from doing something for the third time in team history: Win a league title in football.

The Bulldogs have previous titles in 2007 and 2011, winning the West Valley and Santa Teresa Divisions, respectively.

Thanks to Evergreen Valley’s second loss, the Bulldogs can clinch a share of the West Valley Division with a win over Mt. Pleasant Friday. And because they hold a headto-head tiebreaker over Overfelt, the Bulldogs will clinch an automatic bid into the playoffs with a win.

Coach Tony Holmes said the team is focused on the job it needs and just staying mindful of the mission.

Holmes said the team us buying into the system.

“I think this is the best we’ve been in the previous two years,” Holmes said.

“Everyone is comfortable in the system. We’re playing at higher potential than ever. The scoreboard speaks for itself.

PLAYOFFS

Sobrato kicks off CCS playoff run the semis to play the winner of Monterey at Hillsdale on Nov. 8. The match will be played at Aptos.

Water Polo Following a third-place finish at the Blossom Valley Athletic League Tournament, the Sobrato girls water polo team earned a No. 2 seed going into the Division II of the Central Coast Section playoffs.

The Bulldogs will take on the Monterey Bay League-Pacific Division champion Gilroy at Aptos 4pm Saturday.

The Mustangs smashed their way through the league, outscoring opponents 221-78 before rolling through the MBL tournament to complete a perfect league run.

The Mustangs are led by Erika Cates, who has 71 goals through 12 games followed by Ashley Harding who has 55 in 13 games.

Gilroy relies on stingy defense to turn games into

blowouts, relying on Cates, Harding, Katelyn Brolin, Dillania Barnett and Elizabeth Pickford to accumulate steals.

But the Mustangs can win the close games.

Gilroy won six of its eight games that were decided by three goals or less, including winning all three of its games decided by a single goal.

Sobrato is no stranger to close games, winning four of six decided by three goals or less.

And take away two losses to Leland—which earned the No. 1 seed in the Open Division— Sobrato has not allowed more than 10 goals in a single game.

The Leland games helped push up Sobrato’s Goals Against total to 148 through 22 games for a near seven goals per game allowed. Take away the Leland games and the goals allowed per game goes down to just under five.

The Sobrato girls volleyball team is in the playoffs, but the road will be anything but easy.

With just eight teams qualifying for the Division III playoffs, the Bulldogs will open the tournament in the quarterfinals as the No. 7 seed playing second seeded Aptos.

The Mariners are 12-7 overall and went 12-2 in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League for a coleague championship.

Aptos was a Division III finalist a year ago and advanced to the second round of the Northern California Tournament.

The Mariners return most of their lineup from a year ago and feature a senior-heavy force.

But it is a junior who leads the attack for Aptos in Jillian Rodriguez who has 189 kills. Senior Madeline Smith completes the tandem with 103 kills.

First serve is slated for 7pm Saturday at Aptos.

The winner advances to

READY TO DIVE IN Sobrato girls water polo player Helena Batey, seen here earlier this season, will head up to Aptos as one of three teams from Sobrato headed to CCS. The winner of the match will face off either Tuesday or Wednesday against the winner of No. 3 Menlo and No. 6 Aptos.

Immediately after the girls game, the Sobrato boys water polo team will take on No. 1 seeded Soquel at Aptos.

Soquel was the Monterey Bay League’s top divsion champion with a 17-7 overall mark and an 11-1 Gabilan Division record.

The Knights are led by Luke Matthies who has 27 goals through eight reported games. Soquel is used to stiff competition,

having played close games through out the year.

Sobrato advanced out of the BVAL Tournament to play for third place against Pioneer. The winner of Saturday will advance to play the winner of No. 4 Pioneer and No. 5 St. Ignatius.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.
