La Reina Girls’ 20-0 Laugher Doesn’t Faze Losing Coach

Carpinteria High girls’ soccer Coach Alfredo Martinez, whose team lost to host La Reina, 20-0, in a Tri-Valley League match Wednesday, said the Regents did not run up the score.

“La Reina had a great game and we didn’t,” Martinez said. “But I felt great because our girls didn’t get down on themselves or start arguing.”

Carpinteria (0-18, 0-9 in league play) has not scored this season. The Warriors, who earlier lost to La Reina, 16-0, play host to defending league champion St. Bonaventure today in their season finale.

La Reina Coach Joe Laraneta, in his 14th season with the Regents, can sympathize with Martinez.

“My first season we were 0-10-1 and didn’t score the whole season,” Laraneta said. “I’m not sure we even scored in practice.”

Home alone: Bill Sanchez and Ollie Otis are the perfect roommates: they’re never in each other’s way. Mostly because they’re never home.

Sanchez, the Agoura High boys’ basketball coach, needed a roommate, and Otis, the Charger girls’ coach, was able to oblige.

Since the boys play on Wednesday and Friday nights and the girls on Tuesday and Thursday, neither coach is home much.

“We usually wind up scouting for each other anyway on the days we’re not playing,” Sanchez said. “It’s an arrangement that works for both of us.”

Midwest bound: L.A. Baptist pitcher Megan Petersen has committed to attend Iowa and play softball.

Petersen was 11-5 and had an .095 earned-run average last season, striking out 114 and walking 16.

Record-breakers: With four goals Wednesday against Canoga Park, forward Miro Bilaver of Grant’s soccer team set a school record with 26 goals in a season.

Shauna Murray of Quartz Hill’s girls’ team has set a season record with 25 goals, breaking the previous mark of 19 set last season by Yvonne Ayala.

Group effort: The Royal High girls’ basketball team may not have the most talent in the Marmonte League, but it may be the deepest.

The Highlanders are the only Southern Section team in the region with four players averaging double figures in points.

Royal rotates nine players, and that’s without standout Becca Voigt, who has missed nearly half the season because of an ankle injury.

Amber Shores, one of the Highlanders’ top players last season, was the fourth player off the bench in a 56-51 victory over Simi Valley last week.
