Several restaurant em ployees said
they're planning for huge crowds on the
last night of the year. which can be one of
the busiest nights because seemingly
everyone goes out.
Roy's in Newport Beach expects to serve
more than 500 dinners, mostJy to people
who come in before heading to a club or
hotel for dancing. Roy's General Manager
Barry Pierce said.
"It 's actually one of our heavlesl nights
of the year in terms of that 6 o'clock 10 10
o'clock time period," he said.
There won't be live music, but "we

served a surf and rurf djnner and a fish fil-

and Dom Perignon by th e glass are New

Diners at Roy's arc expected to partake
of high-end wines and champagnes 1hat

City officials had obtained Mea·

that list i~ John Wayne Airport.
The city's idea Is to create a

those things include
administering som e cotmty

"IJndsay McOeDan gave us a big

"She's very talented. She's a very gifted

Davis said McOellan was ranked as

McOellan wasn't the only freshman

"We played well offensively, but hor-
ribly on defense," Davis sald. "They got a
lot of shots they wanted, but they just
missed a lot or shots. That was one of
our worst defensive perfonnances In the
past five years. We just won because we

COSTA MESA
Through the first three e games of Lhe Estancia
Coast Oassic, the host
Eagles' boys basketball
team has known one
thing: how to hold a lead.
Estancia continued its undefeated
tournament run with a 49~35 muffling
of Riverside Poly, the designated home
team, Monday night in the semifinals,
marking the third straight game the
Eagles have led from start to finish.
The Eagles will attempt to win the
tournament title for the first time since
1997 when they take on Mayfair tonight
at8.
The Eagles (8-4) did it with defense,
holding the Bears (9-4) to just two
points in the first quarter, en route to
building a 14-2 lead. Riverside Poly
missed its first 13 shots and finished the
first half shooting 7 of 28 from the field
(25%). The Bears shot 25.9% from the
field for the game (IS for 58).
"Not having shots fall can be deflat-
ing. especially when we hit ours," Estan-
cia Coach Russell King said of the
Eagles' fast start. "We wanted to come
out in a zone because the half-court of-
fense is (the Bears') bread and butter."
The Eagles countered by hitting 11 of
19 first-half field-goal attempts to build
a 32-15 lead the intermission. Estancia
shot 16 of31 from the field for the game
(5 1.6%).
Junior forward Carlos Pinto led all
scorers with 17 points on 4-of-7 shoot-
ing and grabbed eight rebounds while
starting sophomore Mike McDaniels
tallied 12 points to go with five re-
bounds .
Senior center Scou Sankey M:ored 11
points and grabbed 11 rebounds, help-
ing Limit Riverside Poly to one-shot pos-
sessions for a majority of the first half
with aggressiveness on the boards. The
Eagles held a 31-21 rebounding edge.
UThat was huge." King said of the re-
bounding advantage. "II is a µibute to
our defense."
Sophomore reserve guard Shaun
Markley came off the bench to hit two
three-pointers to finish with six points
and three assists.
King inserted Markley. Ray Verette
and Dallas Kopp at the beginning of the
second quarter to provide smothering
defense and tJ1e Eagles' maintained
their lead.
Estancia began the second quarter on
a 9-4 run, getting two threes from Pinto
and one from Markley, to build a 23-6
lead with five minutes, one second to go

Sankey converted a layup off one
of Hugo Fscobedo's four assists
with 5:18 to go in the quarter.
But the Eagles till led by 19 as
the Bears couldn't find their

The Bears' full-court press at
the start the second half rattled
the Eagles initially, but wasn't
enough to show them down con-
sistently.•
"It took. us out of what we
wanted to run, bul we were still
able to jump stop, find the open
man and look ahead for easy lay-
ups." King said.
The Eagles' biggest lead came
at 45-25 when Markley hit a
three with 7:21 Jen. Estancia
wouldn't score for the next 4:13,
but still managed to lead by 18

jumper off a Pinto assist.
"We kept !the Bears) in a slow
game instead of a fast one, be·
cause we are not as quick as
them." Sankey said about limit·

we played more as a team and
our defense was really good."

For the past
two years, the
Sage H1ll School
boys soccer
team has been
playing second
fiddle in the
Academy League. •
However, the Ugbtning ap-

third year of varsity play. has fin·
ished seeond in league for the
past two years, but Coach Nou-
reddine El Alam sees a balanced
squad that couJd make the dif-
ference in league play.
"We have a better squad," the
Sage Hill coach said "We only
lost two seniors. The team looks
good and I think we are going to
do well."
Though Sage Hill has already
suffered through a few injuries.
El Alam said this year's group

"In regard to fitness, we are in
better shape than last year," El
Alam said. •Also, the lclda love to
play the game. They like one an·
other. They are proud of their
team and they love going to
practice. They have good self·es·

know when to joke and when
not to. They know what · the
boundaries are."
El Alam has also seen the
Lightning's ability to display baJ.
ance on the field. Senior goalie
Cesar Arriaga will be one of Sage
Hill's leaders in that department
this season. He was one of three
Sage Hill returning players who
earned first-team All-Academy
League honors, including seniors
Julian Smith-Newman and Chris
Oliboucas.
Arriaga was named the
league's Most Valuable Player as
a sophomore, when he was a
goalie and also played the field.
This season, he will remain in
goal.
"He's a very skillful player," El
Alam said. "Last year, because I
had (Ethan Tunney), I gave Cesar
a break and 1 put him on the
field. He scored a tremendous
amount of goals. I put hjm at the
net and he Wees It. That's his big
thing."

"When you go to a soccer

goes out," Michael said. "You

problems. You don't worry about
the outside. just the game. When
I play soccer. I have fun. I play
with a lot of passion. It's Wee an

While the Benabous are
finding their way in a new life.
they are pleased to be away from
the strife and danger. When
Michael walked to school in
Israel, he replaced the antennae
for his cell phone with a
screwdriver as a possible
weapon or defense against any
Arab attacker, he said. He had to
remain alert and emotionally
strong.
He had seen friends one day.

floor and blood everywhere."
Michael said. "I couJd still see it

eyes wide open. Glass broken
