Carpinteria Remains Perfect @ 3-0 despite a Not So Perfect effort 45-31 over Nipomo Presidio Sports

Ian Craddock was red hot to start Carpinteria High’s home opener against Nipomo Friday night. But he wasn’t the one who was breathing fire as the game headed to the final quarter.

After Nipomo scored on two 30-yard pass plays in the last minute of the third quarter to make the score 37-31, Carpinteria coach Ben Hallock looked like a boiler about to explode as he gathered the entire team on the sideline and, to phrase it gently, carefully articulated a few thoughts about the recent turn of events.

“He went off on us,” said Carpinteria running back Jonathan Esqueda. “But it was a good thing. We let up a little and he told us we needed to finish.”

Finish the Warriors did, grinding out two long drives to kill clock and beat Nipomo 45-31 and improve to 3-0.

“I was steamed,” admitted Hallock. “They were not playing hard, or, at least, not hard enough. We had to finish the game, show some guts, or some gusto…use the clock, be more physical.”

The way the Warriors started, it certainly did not seem they would need a gut check in the final quarter. Craddock completed 6-of-7 passes in the first quarter for 171 yards and two touchdowns as Carpinteria took a 21-7 lead in the first eight minutes of the game. He would have had a third score when a blown coverage by the Titans allowed a Warrior receiver to run 20 yards past all defenders. But his profound isolation on the play was apparently as disconcerting to the unfortunate Warrior as to the Nipomo defense and he dropped the ball. It was, as it turned out, a bit of a omen as two other Warriors dropped potential TD-passes in the end zone in the second half.

”We had three dropped touchdowns by three different guys,” said Hallock. “We lacked focus, we lacked concentration.”

One thing the Warriors did not lack, however, was an ability to make big plays on offense and in the kicking game. Carpinteria opened the game with a 50-yard kickoff return by Bryson Frazer on a crossfield lateral pass. It scored five plays later on an 18-yard pass from Craddock to Duncan Gordon. After an 11-yard run by Nipomo’s Chris Owens tied the score, Craddock hit Esqueda with a short pass and Esqueda burst through the defense for a 66-yard touchdown. A 52-yard punt return by Tim Jimenez made it 21-7.

But Nipomo, 1-2, also had its quick-strike moments. Quarterback Matt Albright deftly slipped a handoff behind his back to Owens in a variation of the old Statue-of-Liberty play and Owens ran 70 yards for a score.

Carpinteria responded with another big play as Craddock found Frazer for a 59-yard touchdown pass with more than two minutes still to play in the first quarter. After forcing a punt, the Warriors struck again as Peter Ramos ripped off a 22-yard run and followed with a 9-yard run for the score. A bungled PAT attempt left the Warriors ahead 34-14 at halftime and seemingly in control.

“We did not play proper alignment, assignment football,” said Nipomo coach Russ Edwards. “We didn’t line up right, we didn’t get our assignments right. We have a young team (more than half the starters are underclassmen) but they need to grow up quick and decide if the want to be varsity level.”

Edwards undoubtedly expressed those sentiments with some impact in the locker room at halftime as the Titans put together a 13-play drive to open the third quarter and finished it with a 35-yard field goal by Jason Alvarado.

The Warriors responded in turn, with another long kickoff return by Frazer, and drove the ball to the 12 before two dropped passes in the end zone and a penalty forced them to settle for a 41-yard field goal by Craddock. At 37-17, the game seemed well under control again, but Nipomo simply refused to give up. Owens converted a fourth-and-two from the Titan 40 with a 10-yard run and Albright connected with Kimball on fourth-and-six for a 31-yard touchdown. The Titans followed with a successful onsides kick and scored four plays later on a 32-yard Albright-to-Kimball catch. That brought the score to 37-31 and Hallock’s temperature to the max.

“I’m glad we at least got Ben’s blood pressure up,” said Edwards with a chuckle.

Unfortunately for Nipomo, the score and Hallock’s sideline chat got the Warriors attention as well. Carpinteria went 80 yards on eight straight running plays, the longest a 33-yard run by Esqueda and the last a 2-yard run by Frazer. Craddock found Ramos for a 2-point PAT to make it 45-31. Nipomo got in one last jab when Albright scrambled on a fourth-and-15 from his own 13 and connected for a 38-yard pass to Harrison Labastida, but the Titans eventually lost the ball on downs and Carpinteria ran off 12 straight running plays to kill the clock at the 1-yard line.

Albright, a junior, completed 20 of 36 passes for 278 yards while Owens amassed 196 yards rushing on 27 carries. Craddock finished 8-for-12 for 184 yards while Esqueda led in rushing with 81 yards.

“This won’t be pretty,” said Craddock of the team’s impending screening of the game film. “But it will be a good learning experience.”

SBART Luncheon: Daughter’s belief rubs off on Vaqueros

Monday, September 9, 2013 By Dave Loveton - Presidio Sports Correspondent Leave a Comment

San Marcos football coach Anthony Linebaugh talks about his team’s stunning comeback win over Rio Mesa at the first Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Luncheon of the 2013-14 school year.

Craig Moropoulos was sitting in his house last Friday night, pondering how his SBCC football team would fare in Saturday’s season opener at Hancock.

“It’s been 21 years since we beat them and eight years since we won a season opener,“ Moropoulos told the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table audience at Harry’s Plaza Café during Monday’s first press luncheon of the 2013-14 season. “There were a lot of things against us.

“It was about 10:30 p.m. and I’m thinking about how Hancock is always so big and physical. My 11-year-old daughter, Elyse, is sitting next to me, writing something. I told her, ‘Hey you need to go to bed, let’s go.‘ She keeps drawing and I’m getting a little testy.

“Then she hands me this paper and said, ‘Dad, I made this for you.’ It had a big Vaquero on it and it said, “Dad I know you can do this. I believe in you.’ Oh my God, that puts it in perspective.

Moropoulos said his heart sunk and he decided “to give her another 10 minutes” before bedtime.

The next day, the Vaqueros rallied from a 14-3 third-quarter deficit to upset No. 24 Hancock 15-14.

“Their D-line probably averaged 320 pounds,” he noted. “I usually don’t bring stats up here when I speak but that game was kind of a blur. I’ll never forget that night. I was part of a great win over Canyons four years ago and this game tops that.

“Everything was stacked against us, but no one told our players that. Our defense was outstanding, led by Morgan Nevin, who had 15 tackles and two fumble recoveries.”

The Vaqueros host East L.A. in their home opener on Saturday at 1 p.m.

PREP FOOTBALL

San Marcos is 2-0 after a stunning 31-30 comeback victory at Rio Mesa. The Royals trailed 30-3 in the second quarter. “I’m thankful that I shave my head because if I didn’t, I would have been yanking my hair out,” said second-year coach Anthony Linebaugh. “At halftime (down 30-10), we talked about having very little margin for error. There was a very positive vibe in the locker room. It’s an interesting game and sometimes we make mistakes but we had the opportunity to make amends, which we did.” The Royals make their home debut on Thursday night when they host Beverly Hills.

Santa Barbara evened its record at 1-1 with a 42-13 rout of Beverly Hills on Saturday. “We exerted our will on them,” said coach Doug Caines. “But we still have a lot of room to grow.” The Dons travel to Atascadero on Friday night, where they’ll be seeking revenge for last year’s tough 35-31 loss in the closing minutes.

Bishop Diego has won its first two games by a combined 97-0. “We’re playing really well but we have a lot of room for improvement,” said assistant coach Ralph Molina. “Eight teams on our schedule are ranked in the top 10 in their divisions.” Molina introduced lineman Joe Salcedo, who’s already received scholarship offers from San Jose State, UNLV and Cal Poly, along with middle linebacker Christian Pearson, who had two interceptions in a 49-0 win at Santa Ynez. The Cardinals host La Salle (10-1 last year) on Friday in a 7:30 p.m. game at La Playa Stadium.

Dos Pueblos will be seeking its first win when Cabrillo comes to town on Thursday night. “When the going gets tough, we just gotta get a little tougher,” said coach Nate Mendoza.

Carpinteria is off to a 2-0 start, including a 42-20 win at South Torrance last Friday when they racked up more than 500 yards. Coach Ben Hallock, who’s been coming to the SBART luncheons for over 40 years, introduced a trio of three-year starters in quarterback Ian Craddock, tight end Duncan Gordon and linebacker Kevin Stein. The Warriors host Nipomo in their home opener on Friday.

Laguna Blanca rebounded from an opening loss to Orcutt Academy by walloping Hillcrest Christian 51-6. They play eight-man football and have one of the smallest rosters (14 players) in the CIF.

COLLEGE SOCCER
Westmont got its first win of the season, a 4-2 home verdict over Whittier. Assistant coach Tovi Eliasen said a couple of local players — Muhammad Mehai of Carpinteria High and Marcos Lopez of SBHS — have been outstanding on defense.

The UCSB women are 3-2-1, thanks to the strong play of sophomore goalkeeper Beth Ritter. She’s only allowed one goal in three games.

WATER POLO

The USB men are ranked No. 6 in the preseason and associate head coach John Abdou says, “We’ll be in the mix for a conference championship and a national championship.”

San Marcos is ranked No. 10 in Div. 2. The Royals edged Arroyo Grande 12-11 and No. 8 Damien 9-7 last week. Shane Hauschild had eight goals in the AG win and five against Damien.

After reaching the CIF Div. 2 final last year, Santa Barbara coach Mark Walsh says this is going to be a rebuilding year. “We graduated 12 of 15 players and most of them are at Division 1 programs,” he noted. “We got our butts kicked in a spring league and our new motto is ‘Don’t worry about the score, let’s just keep getting better.’ ” The Dons make their season debut on Tuesday, hosting Oaks Christian at 3:15 p.m.

Seahawks win a game likely lost a year ago | Sportspress Northwest

Thiel: Seahawks’ QB scrambles part of the plan | Sportspress Northwest

The Breeze Vol. 1 No.50 Seattle 12 Carolina 7

Week 1 is now over A closer look at this game and a reset of expectations might be in Order for the 12th man fan base in King County and beyond. The in game fan reaction made it seem as if the Seahawks had No QB in Russell Wilson. 25/33 320 Yds 1 TD. Expectations are High this year on thr field. I would like to establish a few things practically as opposed to the 12th man fan base that is more emotional than most.
1. The absence of DE Cliff Avril, Chris Clemons CB Brandon Browner Bruce Irvin had a negative impact.
2. The Carolina Defense dominated an o-line that clearly needs work. Penalties killed Seattle 9-109 for the game. This situation needs to and must be corrected during practice in coming weeks. 3. The Defense rose to the occasion in the form of S Earl Thomas with a fumble recovery at the Seattle 8 yd line with 5.25 left in the 4th quarter. Another point to be made. The Carolina Defense was ranked 10th overall in 2012.
After 30 plus years of watching the NFL you can bank on a few things 1.The defense will always be ahead of the offense for about 3 weeks. Unless you have systemic Problems as you do with Todd Haley as an OC in Pittsburg and the inept Jacksonville Jaguars to name a couple. For those of you emotive, petulant ,and constantly complaining fan base calling for the benching of Russell Wilson really. Some of you a small but vocal minority would like Charlie Whitehurst to ride into the stadium and save the day This is not the 1992 team that went 2-14 or maybe you would like Dan Mcguire or former Notre Dame QB Rick Mirer.
Put your Big Boy pants on quit complaining and show some maturity and poise. Russell Wilson showed more maturity than a portion Of his bandwagon fan base on Sunday. game stats http://www.nfl.com/teams/statistics?team=SEA
