Battle bullies
with the Atlas
' approach
T h. e school dislnct's policy
on bullying is OK as for dS
1t goes, but school hould
also lnu.n children how to counter
ctlmost anything a bully might
throw at them. To dch1eve lhlS
goal. students should be taught
counterbullying skills upon
entenng the school system, cmd
have age· and gender·dppropn·
ate updates each year therearter
We should take the Chdrlcs
AUas approach and teach our 98·
pound weaklings how to protect
themselves from sand-lucking
bullies. I don't know that the cur·
nculum should actually butld
muscle and teach hsucuffs. but 1t
ought to strengthen a student's
abihty to prevent dnd defend
agamst bullying
For example, a student who as
well trained in playing •The
Dozens· (a game an which peo-
ple pepper each other with ver-
bal ansults to build up immunity
and confidence) should have bl·
lie to fear from a verbal bully
If we can teach fonnal debdt·
mg slulls. we can teach mformal
verbal JOustmg sk.tlls.
Why ihould schools be tasked
w1th teachmg yet another
nonacademic subject? A short
answer is that students are sitting
ducks in today's v1olence-saturat·
ed world. The social fabnc that as
used to proVlde some protecuon
from anllsoc1dl behavior has
been rented a thousand wuys.
Another short answer as that tf
luds take over many of the coun-
terbullying respons1b11tt1e!>,
teachers can better concentrate
on dCademics So, even on cl
purely tax dollar basis. a counter·
bullying skills program would b<>
well worth the effort

DAILY Pll.oT
NEWPORT BEACH-Fortunately for Newpon,Harbor
High, today's 3 p.m. CJP Southern Section Oivilloo U
second-round boys iOCCer playoff game against top-
seeded Los Alamitos wW not be played on paper.
lo fact. the venue It wW be played on, the Sallon'
vamty football field, provtd even more hope that Coecb
KeWl Esparza's underdogs can bld for aq uptet.
"The thing that concerns me ls the size ol the field,· Los Al Coedl
Trey Scharl1n said. ·We're used to playing on a much bigger 6ek1. We
hke to play with the ball on the ground with a posaession·type game.•
The football fie.Id, more narrow and shorter than a typical prep rooce.r
field, will not give the Gnfflns (23·1·1) as mucb room as they're
accustomed to. It also figures to help the Sailors, who typk:ally play a
more physic.al game than most ot their opponents.
The Sailors ( 1~1-2) will hkely need all the help they can get lo knock
olJ the Sunset LeagUe champions, who have not lolt since Dec. 8. a span
of 20 games, 19 of which have been victories.
Since dropping a 1 ·0 tournament loss to Marina. the Gritfln.s have
out.scored opponents, S.-8, including a 4.0 first-round win Friday
over Foothill League representative Valencia. Their goal advantage for
the season Is 65·9.
Los AJ, which won the 2001 Sunset League crown and l05t in last
year's Division I semlfinals to eventual champion Mil.llka.n, bas played
beyona already high expectations this season, according to Scharlin.
·After having the success we did last season. we knew we'd do well
(despite graduating three All·CIF performen, including goalie Jam.le
Ackennanl, • Scharlin said. •But I didn't expect us to' play as well as
we've played this year.·
The Griffins Alt! led by seruor forward Jon Bornstein (18 goals). wbUe
seruor midfielder Cameron Kolovos. a returrung second-team All-CIF
performer, has 14 goals
Sean Cima, Dustin Venegas and Nick Koromela.s have seven goals
apiece for the GnffU\S. Kolovos. Korometas, Venegas and EvaJ> Perley
scored agamst Valencia. Goalie Jeremy Uhl recorded five saves Fr1day
to po5t the tea.m's t6th shutout.
Newport Harbor. m its second playoff appearance in five seasons,
ddvanced with a 2-0 first-round win at Santa An.a Valley
Junior forward J<M.e Serpas scored both goals to double his season
total, but he should have a little more help. according to Esparza.
"The Newport Coach sa.id after Fnday's win, the program's Jlrst
playoff tnumph since 1997, that seruor 1\'son Wahl, who missed bis
JWl.lorseason wh.ale trau\lng with the nabonal under·17 team In F1orlda.
was expected to return after nus lng five games with a strained back
muscle.
The Sailors dre dlso expected to welcome back seniors Redge
Bendheim and Adl\m Kerns. who were not available for the first·
round contest
Esparza said Fnday he knew tittle about Esperanza. but he planned
on collecting detatls from some Sunset League coaches with whom he
ls acquamted
·1 know they have d lot of speed at the forward spot. so playing on
ow field should be an advantage for us,· Espana saJd.
The Sailors. runners-up in the Sea View League, are also keyed by
seruor sweeper Kevm Cdmpo , their lone All·Sea View returner from
last season
Outs1dl" of three South Torrance Tournament games. the scores of
wtuch were unreported, Newport has outsrored oppooE..1t.s, 21·26, this

"I know Wahl and Campcx. ct.re very good players. because I've seen
them play on the club level,· Scharbn said.
