EL SEGUNDO HERALD October 27, 2016 Page 7 Eagles from page 5 lost in that first half was the play by Binder (7 tackles and a sack), Johnson (3 tackles and a sack) as well as Fernan and Papalii who each were in on four tackles. The game came down to field position in the second half. A tackle for a loss by Duncan Papalii forced a Lawndale punt from its own 15-yard line and the Eagles took advantage of a short field to work with. They went 46 yards on seven plays, highlighted by Isaiah Gray’s 14-yard run and capped by Jake Palmer’s 1-yard touchdown plunge on a quarterback sneak behind center Jess Caravello. Lawndale responded with an 80 yard drive to tie the game. Three times they were faced with a fourth down situation and each time kept the drive alive. Jalen Hamler’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Williams, with 10:15 left in the game, tied the game. The Eagles’ offense was on a roll and this time went 68 yards in seven plays to score what may have been the biggest TD of the season. Ashton Saltz rambled for 12 yards to start the drive. Taz Tauaese ended the drive when he was sprung loose for a 31-yard touchdown run with 6:43 left in the game. Lawndale attempted a comeback but of their ten plays they picked up a total of 26 yards that included six incomplete passes. The Eagles took over and ran out the clock and in doing so created a log jam at the top of the Ocean League standings. The Eagles, who play at Hawthorne on Friday night at 7pm, are tied with Culver City, Lawndale and Hawthorne at 2-1 in league play. Tauaese’s streak of 100 yard rushing games came to an end. After seven consecutive games of rushing for 100 or more yards the talented running back rushed for a game high 87 yards on 11 carries. Tauaese was nursing a sore ankle the entire game and was held out on a number of plays. Isaiah Gray filled in nicely by rushing eight times for 38 yards. On the surface the El Segundo JV football team was the better team but the final score said otherwise. The Eagles forced seven fumbles and recovered four of them but Lawndale overcame their mistakes an defeated the Eagles 23-13. Cory Craig scored a touchdown and Dylan Marquez-Wasson scored a rushing touchdown while Michael Johnson had an interception. Boys’ Water Polo The Eagles improved to 5-0 in Ocean League play with a 12-10 win over league rival Santa Monica and then hammered Culver City 17-5. The win against Santa Monica was really a thriller with a number of lead changes in the first half. The Eagles changed game strategies and took a 10-5 lead early in the third quarter before Santa Monica rattled off three scores in the last minute. Kyle Crist’s score from outside on the first possession of the final period and then the Eagles held on for the win. Crist led the Eagles with four goals while Brett Quesada had 12 saves. The win against Culver City was bittersweet since the Eagle’s home game was pushed to Culver City’s pool due to The Plunge being shutdown for repairs again. The runaway victory started early on and included a balanced scoring attack split up among eight players. Crist led the attack with four goals, Nolan Young had three, Owen Hale and Kyle Parker chipped in two, and Kaeden Hahn, Slate Davis, Kalan Smith, Ryan Winkler and Kelly Reynolds each scored one goal apiece. Quesada was once again brilliant in goal with 13 saves. Surf Team The ESHS Surf Team started its season with the Annual Kickoff Classic. The Kickoff Classic is one of the biggest contests of the year as every team in the league competes. Typically El Segundo goes head-to-head with individual high schools but in this contest each school can enter as many competitors as they want. The first round of the boys short board and long board divisions ran 28 heats with six surfers in each heat. In order to advance to the next round competitors would need to finish in the top 3 in their heat. Representing ESHS in the short board division was Sean Tennien, Chase Wood, Victor Knopp, Shane Frontino, Lukas Roscoe, Adam Masson, Cooper Sutherland, and Gavin Lueck. Austin Sorensen surfed in the Long board division but despite surfing a great heat was unable to advance to the next round. Knopp, Roscoe, Wood, and Frontino were surfing at an extremely high level and all four advanced through the first three rounds and into the semi-final heat. With over 120 competitors competing it was impressive to whittle it down to the final 12 surfers. Shane Frontino used his smooth style and a number of turns to carve his way into the final and ultimately a 5th place finish. El Segundo is looking to win the South Bay scholastic Surfers Association Division 2 title this year after just being moved down from Division 1. Cross Country In the first cross country meet hosted by El Segundo high school in more than 25 years it was a success.

Jackie Speier, D-San Francisco. She introduced ROBOCOP four months before the FCC Robocop Task Force sat down for the first time. A spokeswoman for the FCC reported after the meeting that “stopping unwanted calls is a simple idea but complex to accomplish,” thus tempering expectations for a permanent fix anytime soon. The task force and FCC have narrowed down what realistically should be done. Calls that impersonate a U.S. government office should be stopped, said spokeswoman Alison Kutler in a report last month on the FCC web site. A low-tech solution offered is that phone providers block the frequently spoofed phone numbers coming into their networks. Their databases would include numbers that robocallers use to impersonate government, healthcare agencies and banks. Political campaigns and charities are exempt from the Do Not Call list, so even the proposed fixes wouldn’t stop them from calling and asking for donations. The phone providers, especially the voiceover Internet users, could authenticate caller ID if they chose to, Kutler said. It’s the phone providers who are partly to blame for robocallers getting through their networks to customers, she suggested. If the Internet-phone services all included “robust” robocall blocking and filtering, all subscribers in the network could block unwanted callers and send them to voicemail. The FCC says it’s working with providers to do just that. The agency also collects data on which phone numbers generate the most complaints from consumers. More than 3 million complaints about robocalls were filed last year, according to the consumer federation. The data has helped robocall blocking companies improve their systems, according to the FCC. Its power to stop incoming calls from outside the country is very limited, according to the FCC’s spokeswoman. So is the government’s ability to deter overseas operators who defy the Do Not Call law. Less than 10 percent of the fines were paid, says the Consumer Federation of America which is supporting the ROBOCOP Act in Congress. The ROBOCOP Act, among other things, would direct federal regulators to require telecom companies to offer free robocallblocking technology to consumers, according to Speier’s office. While the bill works its way through Congress, phone customers are being urged to voice their displeasure through lower-level channels. The phone providers need the pressure turned up on them, says a leading advocate for strengthening the call registry that worked well until 2011. “If you want to be mad at someone,” says Tim Marvin, the campaign manager for the Consumers Union’s End Robocalls campaign, “call your phone company.” •
