Missing Dog Water Bowl
For a number of years now, my insurance
agency on Main Street has put out a water
bowl for our neighborhood pooches and
doggies to enjoy while walking with family
members to and from downtown. This
morning, the day before Thanksgiving, we
discovered our State Farm water bowl has
gone missing. Often, we get to speak with
our neighbors who make positive comments
about the “doggie watering hole” and we
are surprised by this incident which puts a
damper on our community spirit. If any of
you can help us find and return our little
bowl to its rightful position out by the
front door, we would all be deeply appreciative.
Most importantly, it is our beloved
animals that are the losers here and all
of you kind folks who have enjoyed this
little tradition on Main Street USA! Thanks
for listening,

Boys Soccer Preview and
Cross Country Teams
Wrap Their Season
By Gregg McMullin
The El Segundo high school’s boys’ soccer
season is about to open. The Eagles are
looking for their first Pioneer League championship
in years, and with plenty of talent,
they may have the nucleus to pull it off. The
cross country teams wrapped up their season,
and the basketball teams played in their first
season tournament to mixed reviews.
The Eagles won back-to-back CIF Southern
Section soccer championships in 2018 and
2019. During the 2019-20 season, they won
an Ocean League title but didn’t do quite so
well during the pandemic 2020-21 season. This
season the Eagles are at full strength and are
looking to return to the playoffs. Though they
were a senior-heavy team last season, they
do return seven players who either started or
played valuable minutes.
Head coach Andrew Kelly says his team
experienced an anomaly last season. “Our
normal preparation and planning were affected
by the truncated and rescheduled season.
This year, we have had a little more time to
analyze our personnel, think about whom fits
better into our system, and get players in their
proper positions.”
The Eagles have been working out for weeks
under strict Covid protocol, and before that,
several players have been involved with their
club teams. It has allowed the Eagles to stay
focused on the full season ahead and stay
sharp. Simply put, Coach Kelly and his staff
see a squad that is gelling into a cohesive team.
Returning starters and players with experience
that Coach Kelly will lean on are Jackson
Bevelhiemer, Kieran DiCerbo, Ty Kerns, Josh
Lopez, Constainin Papadopoulos, Angel Rojas,
Gage Van Kleeck. Each had an impact on last
season’s team and looked to make their presence
known. Kerns, Van Kleeck, and Lopez each
have three years of experience, and they’ll help
with their leadership to make the Eagles ready
for their schedule. Others who look to make
an immediate impact are Jaimeson Johnson,
Liam and Conner Moore and Ethan Ralls.
The Eagles’ early season schedule could
be a daunting task to navigate through. They
open the season with Bay League power
Peninsula, then face Mira Costa and Animo
in a December tournament. The early-season
schedule should help the team prepare for a
rugged Pioneer League that includes twotime
defending champion North Torrance.
According to Coach Kelly, the early season
games will be used to improve on last season’s
transition game. He says, “On a philosophical
level, if we can get the boys to commit and
buy into the system that we have in place,
we believe that we have the necessary components
for success.”
Cross Country Teams
Wrap up Their Season
The cross country teams ended their
season with impressive finishes at the CIF
Southern Section Finals. Both the girls and
boys compete in perhaps the most competitive
divisions in the CIF Southern Section.
The boys’ team ended their season as a
team with an 11th place finish. During the
race, they were third at the halfway mark but
just couldn’t hold on. The Eagles were just
11 runners (points) away from qualifying for
state. Division 4 is a highly competitive division
with six teams within 16 points of each
other to qualify for the state championship.
This year’s Eagles finished with the fastest
team time at the Mt SAC CIF finals in team
history. They were led by Luca Romero, who
qualified for the state meet as an individual,
with the second-fastest time in school history
(15:55); he finished 12th. Owen Frank (16:31)
and Nasai Rivas (16:41) finished second and
third respectfully for the Eagles. Rounding
out the seven runners who competed were
Luke Harrell (17:14), Ryu Iguchi (17:33),
Jackson Chartier (17:43) and Muhammad
Imtaaz (18:07).
The Eagles were a top 10 ranked team
for all but the opening week of the season.
Though they didn’t win the competitive
Pioneer League, they advanced to the CIF
Prelims due to their strong season-long ranking.
Next season could be another successful
one when they return five of their top seven
and look to make a push to qualify for the
state meet.
On the girls’ side, they set a team course
record at the CIF finals. They beat some of
the program’s most dominant team times from
the 2010-2012 teams; that group included
standout Anna Farello. The girls narrowly
missed advancing to their 5th consecutive
CIF State meet appearance by only four
points. Division 4 is highly competitive,
with the top eight teams separated by only
a few seconds. To give you some thought
on how competitive Division 4 is had El
Segundo been in Division 3, they would
have finished fourth, sixth in Division 2, and
won Division 5. Finishing eighth was quite
an accomplishment.
