Cowboys vs Granada (May 8, 2009)

Disheartened Livermore Boys' Varsity Lacrosse Team Fall to Granada By a Score of 8 - 6.

The game started with a moment of silence honoring Tommy Parker's dad, Stephen Parker, who had passed away earlier this week.

There was no score after one quarter. In the second quarter Granada scored first. Then Tommy Parker tied the score at one all, assisted by Marc Acosta. Parker's second goal, again assisted by Acosta, put the Cowboys ahead 2 - 1. Granada came back and scored the next two goals to take the lead.

With seconds left in the first half, as Parker was going in to score again, a cheap, illegal cross-check in the face put Parker down. The Granada defender who delivered the blow smart mouthed over him, and received only a two minute penalty. Once again, bad officiating cost Livermore, not only the game, but also put Tommy out of the game.

Granada scored two goals in the third quarter and took a 5 -2 lead. Going into the fourth quarter, Granada scored first, making it a 6 -2 game. Then Livermore tied the score with four unanswered goals in the fourth quarter. Ben Jacobson had two goals; Vince VanBinsbergen and Paul Warnke had the other two. Assists were scored by Acosta (who had two), Kyle Kline, and Jacobson. Eventually Granada scored two to take the lead and the win. Gavin Herr had 30 saves in the loss.

This was the Boys' Varsity Lacrosse team's best year yet, finishing with a 5 - 13 record. Attacking players for the year were Marc Acosta, Jerrod Martinez, Eric Loberg, and Tommy Parker. Middies for the year were Ben Jacobson, Harrison Wood, Paul Warnke, Nathan Loberg, Brian Hicks, Vincent VanBinsbergen, Kyle Kline, Matt Holzschuh, and Andrew Finster, and long-stick-middies Travis Cyronek, Ryan Wilkerson, and Jon Yoon. Defensive players for the year were Ryan Stark, Chris Hill, Rusty Schmidt, Craig Cofer, and Joe Gonzalez . The goalie was Gavin Herr. Head Coach Gordon Cobb, Assistant Coach John Hill, and Assistant Coach Austin Silva are very pleased with how all of the players played this year.

The EBAL league with five teams in the playoffs, is not only the toughest league in the Bay Area, but the toughest in California. All .parents, players, and Livermore Varsity Team supporters should be proud of this team for the skill and spirit they have shown this year -- and for all who stand behind the Team.

The defense played very well in this 3 game week, the goals against does not reflect how hard Chris Hill, Ryan Stark, Rusty Schmidt, Craig Cofer, and John Yoon played. Highlighted by stopping Monte Vista on a 3 minute penalty that was not releasable, that means that they could score as many as they wanted, yet the defense and goalie Gavin Herr stopped them. While many EBAL teams enjoy running up the score, Amador played with a lot of style by playing all of their players. Herr had 11, 6, and 22 saves respectably in the three games.

As with the Varsity, the J.V. team also had a long tough week. The Cowboys played Amador, SRV, and Monte Vista. Losing 12 - 0, 11 - 0 and 13 - 1.

Lacrosse Players excelling in the classroom

Here is a list of the GPA's of 3.5 or higher for both the Varsity and J.V. players

Score Keepers Needed

Volunteers are needed to help with scorekeeping during the Varsity Games. Our coaches would like us to keep score at both home and away games, so we need someone to help share those duties with Laura Stark. Also, during Varsity home games, a spotter is needed to sit with the score keeper on the field, and help spot shots, goals, assists, and to help with the timers during penalties. It's really fun being at the scorekeepers table. You get to know all the boys and the coaches, plus you see the action up close. Laura will train you on everything you need to know.

Give Laura a call (cell phone: 980-6983) or send her an email (laura.stark@sun.com) and you can work out a schedule.

Snack Shack

Becky Schmidt has volunteered to coordinate the Snack Shack this year. The dates for home games are March 24, 25, 31, April 3, 21, 28 and May 8. I, Monty Herr, promised to organize the necessary volunteers. The plan is to have Varsity parents man the shack during JV games and have JV parents do the shack during Varsity games.

This is a good fund raiser. But it also is an important service. Having a hot baked potato during a cold game is a real treat.

It is important to get people to commit to volunteer. If we get volunteers lined up early on, that takes a lot of the pressure off the planning task. We also need people to volunteer to bake potatoes before games.

Pick a date or two or three and commit. Let me know [at herr2@comcast.net] when you will be willing to help, providing your telephone number as well as email. (It will help to copy Becky as well (email: malibubecky@comcast.net.)) I will be chief rabble rouser as the season goes on.
