Definitely visit YC?UT boat during and after a heavy rain to inspect the bilge. Be aware that if your boat bas oil in the bilge and then a few gallons of rainwater gets in. it could set off your automatic bilge pump, dumping oil into the harbor. This is not only bazardous to our harbor, but it can also be hazardous to your wallet. The Harbor Patrol goes on full alert during a rainstorm. checking for vessels in distress and also for vessels that may pose a hazard to our highly sensitive marine ~vironment. Boats in violation will definitely be dted and, depending upon the degree of the infraction. a heavy fine can and will be levied. It is highly advisable to have your bilge flushed and vacu- umed by one of several companies that specialize in this service. A flush today can save the bay. •This is the time to take a long look at winter maintenance -things like frayed lines that, when put under '4!vere stress, could snap, espedally if your boat is tied to a mooring,• said U . Dotti.Ronan, assis- tant Newport harbor master for the Orange County Sheriffs Department. •If you are concerned about your boat for any reason or if you're going to be ~of town for a while, you should~ us a call, and we'll keep an eye on your boat. More boats sink during the rainy season because of neglect rather than because of rain filling up the bulls. Of course, there is no substitute for being proactive in a disciplined maintenance program.• Ronan added. The marine environment is under more sautiny by the courts than ever before. Ronan also said court fines are inaeasing and can be esj>ed.ally high for repeat offenders. If you are going to leave your boat unattended for a period of time while you are out of town. let the Harbor Police know.

The statement refers to the Sailors' seeding in Division VI, a development made possible when previously unbeaten Villa Park lost to Foothill, 14-7, Friday. The final-week upset allowed the Sea View League runner-up Sailors (8·2), ranked outSide the division's top four nine times in 10 weekly polls to this point, to inherit a 'draw favorable to one they would have faced, had Villa Park rem$ed No. 3 and Tustin No. 4.

The potential semifinal matchup would mos~ likely be No. 1 La Mirada. Meanwhile, in Dlvtslon IX, Estancia (7·3) and Corona del Mar (5·5) will face formidable first-round roes on the road Friday at 7 p.m. Costa Mesa (6-4) did not receive the Division's lone at-large bid, which went to B&}dwin Park (6-3-1).

The Indians, whose long history includes six CIF title-game appear· ances and three titles (1918, '27 and '84), shared two similar opponents with Estancia this fall. Fullerton defeated Santa Ana Valley, 38-0, and handled Magnolia, 42·6, in nonleague action. Estancia topped Magnolia. 25-8, but fell to Val· ley, 35-28. CdM, in Its third straight postseason, will need an upset to earn its first playoff win since 1995. The Sea Kings, who lost their last two after a five-game winning streak, should have the services of senior tailback Blake Hacker, who missed most of the second half Friday with a sprained ankle. "It's a low sprain, so he should be able to come back,· CdM Coach Dick Freeman said. Mesa Coach Jerry Howell, whose team finished with a 57-7 thrashing of Northwood, said he was surprised to lose the at-large berth to Baldwin Park, which earned one or its league wins in overtime (a provision Orange County leagues don't have).

Nordhoff, the Frontier League's second-place team, traveled 2112 hours to reach its quarterfinal desti- nation. only to be turned away in a 62-minute match by the hosts (18-8). The Sea Kings competed as if they were in a hurry to play the next Senior Lauren Nielson came off the bench to ·produce two service winners for CdM in the first game, while back-row specialist Alissa Zoelle had an ace in the opening game and service winners in each of the second and third games. Anstandig warmed up in the sec- ond game with five kills and the Sea Kings enjoyed a huge spurt behind Zoelle's serving (five consecutive points) to go up, 11-t. Then Dem- ~g's service winner made it 13-1, before the Rangers came back with a couple of points. •But the biggest thing I think is the chance to play Bishop Mont- gomery again (the Knights eliminat- ed CdM last year in the Southern California Regional finals). The girls will be fired up to play them. And you always know to get to the finals you have to beat a top team on the road.~ pressure cooker. , The meatloaf should be tender by the time Corona del Mar High's Sea Kings are finished playing host Bishop Montgomery in the CIP semifinals Tuesday night at'7. round. · CdM senior outSide bitter Sara Deming (12 kills) also had a service winner in the second game. ·we served really tough tonight," Conti said, •and (serving) · is definitely one of our strengths." Anstandig had three straight kills to get CdM at game point. then Ally Sellch finished off Nordhoff with a kill for CdM, going up high at the net for a rejection. . CdM's Katie Ouggan, a 5-11 junior middle blocker, added six kills against Nordhoff, while Eleanor Mack contributed some timely kills for CdM. To set up the much-anticipated showdown against No. 2-seeded Bishop Montgomery, tl)e third-seed- ed Sea Kings swept Nordhoff of Ojai, 15-6, 15-3, 15-7, Saturday night in the Division ID-AA quarter- finals at CdM. "The last two years, we've been knocked out in the semifinals, and I'm hoping this year the girls want to do more than what our teams did the past two years," said Conti, whose girls captured a CIF title in 1997. In an opening game that lasted less than 15 mmutes, the 5-foot-11 Deming had the hot hand with five kills. After Nordhoff pulled to within 8- 6, the Sea Kings rallied and main- tained control of the serve the rest of the way, except for a single sideout. "I think when you're the visiting team it's real important to get off to a good start ... and we jumped on them," Conti said. •A win like this allows \lS to raise our level of confi- dence, and our team plays well when it's playing with confidence." The Sea Kings, though, might have \!leir hands full against Bishop Montgomery. ·1 think they'll have a tough time, because Bishop Montgomery has a lot of weapons,• Bohney said. •1 think if (the Sea Kings) played con- sistent and tried to find some weak· nesses in Bishop Montgomery, they might have a chance. But, after qu.lckly deposing of the Rangers (9-7), Corona del Mar Coach Steve Conti couldn't help but " think about the semifinal task in a hostile environment. Thanks to some outstanding serving, Corona del Mar made sure Nordhoff's freeway time didn't quite . measure up to the on-court time. For example, CdM setter Jacque- line Becker finished with three aces With Nielson at the service line, CdM scored five straight points, the last a rocket down the line by Dem- ing for a kill. Becker closed out the In addition to Anstandig and Deming, Kate Petry, a senior outside hitter, displayed moments of domi- nance with the missiles she unleashed, resµlting in four kills (she didn't play in the third game). •But they have to block Bishop Montgomery better than they did against us tonight.# "That semifinal match will be the type of match high school players Scare by Qullrtwl Orange Coast 7 7 14 7 • 35 Fullerton 21 7 6 13 -47 flntQuwW OCC ·Fredrickson 15 pass from Higgs (Pate kick), 11 :07 F\all · Gogan 4 run (Yun kick), 8;48 Ml · Moore 57 pass from Crooks (Yun kick), 5:20 Full -Farley Jr. 82 pass from Crooks (Yun kick), 21-7 Second ()ullrtM' Full • Porter 71 pynt return (Yun kick), 12:10 OCC • Dale 3 pass from Higgs (Pate kick), 1:09 Third Quwt8r FUii • Porter 23 pass from Bartczak (kick failed), 8:45 OCC • Dale 23 pass from Higgs (Pate kick), 4:43 OCC ·Dawkins 51 run (Pate kick), 2:42 Fowttl Quwt8r FUii • Gogan 4 run (pass failed), 12:13 OCC -Peeples 91 kickoff return (Pate kKk), 11 :55 .
