The Hood River Valley High School girls' varsity soccer team started strong in their final pre-season game Tuesday afternoon against the Barlow Bruins. They played the first ten minutes or so like they wanted to, like they have been practicing. They kept their formation, they passed well and they spread the field by working the ball out to the wings.
But then they lost steam. The team's strategies broke down a bit and Barlow slipped by 2-0 by the end of the game.
"It was a disappointing loss," said Coach Joe Kelly. "We lost focus and started dribbling the ball instead of passing and our defensive pressure in the midfield was less effective."
The girls continue to improve, however, even though Tuesday's score did not show a win.
"The team has a lot of potential," commented assistant coach Clarke Bryant. "The girls are getting better and better every game and they are staying close as a team. They really care for each other."
With the loss, the teams' record moves to 2-4 overall. The good news is, all six of the games so far have been non-league. The Eagles got a fresh start and a fresh record to start with in their first league match Friday afternoon at Bend High School. As of press time game results were not available.
Junior varsity
The junior varsity girls demolished Barlow in a blow-out 10-0 victory. Goal scorers in the game were: Kylee Slaughton, Keala Van Swaay, Erin Costello, Kari Hidle, Julie Hazlett, Sara Evas, and Jessica Ortiz.

Tiger Cub Accepted To Harvard
Angry Asian Man on Friday, Apr. 8th
This news dropped into my lap last Friday via law blog Above the Law, but I was reluctant to post anything because 1) I pretty much questioned the veracity of all news that came my way on April Fool's. 2) I've been suffering from Tiger Mom Burnout for several months. And 3) Who cares? But people seem really obsessed with this, so I'm passing the news along.
It seems that 18-year-old Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, eldest daughter of the infamous Amy Chua, has been accepted to Harvard. And Yale, according the Yale Daily News. But she's still apparently deciding between the two schools. The dilemma! Well, congratulations, Tiger Mom. You did it:
On April 2, Chua revealed on her Facebook page that her daughter Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld had earned a spot at Harvard. And while she was quick to praise her strict parenting regime of no sleepovers and no television when defending her controversial book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in January, Chua seems to have retracted her claws since then. "I'm afraid I can't take any credit," Chua wrote in an e-mail to the Boston Herald. "I don't think my parenting had anything to do with it – I think Sophia did it 100% herself." And that was no easy feat. Harvard accepted a record low of 6.2% of applicants this year—selected from a pool of 35,000 students.
Wait a minute. That doesn't sound like the Tiger Mom we know and love. You wrote an entire book about your rigid parenting travails, the Chinese Way — and a lot of people bought it — and now you're saying your parenting had nothing to do with it? What a letdown. If I was Professor Chua, I'd be shaking my fist at the world, screaming, "See?! No sleepovers!"

Larry Emdur is rumoured to be taking over as the host of Sale of the Century.
Photo: Supplied
The drinks had not even arrived and we barely had time to scan the menu before the gossip began. It's always the case when you get together with TV types over lunch.
It's like a race to be first with the latest inside information. This time, the winner was the one with the hot tip that Larry Emdur would host the resurrected Sale of the Century on Channel Nine from mid-year. It was news to me, but the others had all heard the same thing.
I still don't know if it's true.
The only dispute around the table was over who would co-host the show. It seems the usual queue of future starlets and former game-show models, the ones who would go to the opening of an envelope if they stood a chance of getting their picture in the Sunday celebrity pages, has lined up for the job.
But someone with an established public profile, someone like the stylish and respected Livinia Nixon, would be preferable.
Then there was Channel Seven's all-singing, no-dancing sequel to Dancing with the Stars. Y
es, Seven's keen to assemble a galaxy of TV, sporting and maybe even political stars to be coached as singers and go vocal chord to vocal chord in a weekly knockout competition, tentatively titled Singing with the Stars.
But, rumour has it, most of the first ones to be auditioned were so bad, the whole project might be held over until later in the year.
And there's poor old Channel Ten. Everyone, it seems, has it on good authority that if the media ownership laws are diluted when the Federal Government takes control of the Senate in a few months, a controlling stake in Network Ten will be put up for sale.
And everyone also knows who is going to buy it, and that, depending on which reliable source you got your information from, is either News Ltd or Fairfax (owners of The Age).
When you are in the company of TV types, it is a brave person who disagrees with them. They think they know everything, just because they had lunch last week with someone who wears a tie. But I took the punt.
Why, I asked, would the owners of a network that makes more profit per viewer than any other (or so I have been told) have already decided to sell up?
And why would News Ltd, which is moving more and more into pay TV worldwide than free-to-air TV, want to buy it? And why would Fairfax, whose flagships are quality broadsheet newspapers, want to buy a low-cost TV network that has a low news profile, no prime-time current affairs shows and little high-brow Australian content?
My lunch companions had all the answers, and within five minutes all was explained. One of them was convinced that The Age's parent company was even money to be the next owner of Ten and, as a result, I would not be permitted to criticise any show on the network.
We finally got around to talking about what really matters about Network Ten - its product. Ten is taking a battering in the ratings this year. Some nights it is being outpointed by Seven and Nine and also the ABC. And its big new show for 2005, The X Factor, is a failure.
There had been expectations that, like Australian Idol when it first began, the ratings would go up when the talent quest reached the stage when the finalists got to strut their stuff on the big stage - in this case, Vodafone Arena. But it has not happened.
Last weekend, Sunday night's show averaged only 700,000 viewers nationally and Monday night's elimination episode did only slightly better with 860,000, far short of the 1 million mark that normally is considered the minimum for commercial success.
Worse, no one seems to be talking about the show around the water coolers of the nation, or at least those I frequent.
Last year Ten started the year with two turkeys - The HotHouse and The Resort. They did not work and dragged the network down. The X Factor has not been doing as badly as either of those shows, but for the $25 million Ten is reported to have paid for the show, it certainly is not good value for money. We are unlikely to see X Factor II in 2006.
I'm not knocking the concept. It was a good idea, evidenced by the fact that all three commercial networks bid for the rights to make the Australian version.
It is energetic, there is nothing wrong with the production standards in the show, and despite the unavoidable impression that it is all horribly contrived, the carry-on between the three judges - Kate Ceberano, John Reid and Mark Holden - is not hard to bear.
No, the real problem is that The X Factor, in which three categories of performers have ended up competing against one another, tries to do too much at once - and satisfies no one.
Australian Idol succeeds because it is a simple and straightforward talent quest and every week there is a loser. Just like The X Factor. The costliest loser of 2005! All of the judges at our table agreed on that.

$10,000 in options? Compare to the A4. Base car comes with leather and roof. Style package (1100) adds xenons and leds and some other shiny bits. Wood trim is $350. And to add insult to injury the quattro car's msrp undercuts the rwd 328i by a few hundred bucks.
I don't want an Audi. I want an F30! Of course it's a better chassis and engine. But the way these options are laid out... geez...
If looks and cosmetics are what your most concerned about, bmw might not be the car for you.
Once your driving the F30, you will forget all about "angel eyes" and "textured wood trim" it sounds like you are concerned on the image, a benz 250 might be a better option if that is the case. You get the F30 is your main priority is driving enjoyment.
