FRC soccer teams each beat Shasta
The Feather River College
men's and women's soccer
teams opened conference
play on a wet and windy af-
ternoon against the Shasta
College Knights Tuesday,
Oct. 4.
After coming off of a
stretch of 11 matches in 21
days, the Golden Eagles
teams had a welcome 13-day
rest to get healthy before
Tuesday's match.
The men (9-2-2), who are
ranked No. 13 in the state,
opened the day's action with
a 2 p.m. kickoff, and it only
took 15 minutes for FRC to
score. Freshman Dinesh
Prasad surged forward from
his left back position and
unleashed a shot from 30
yards out that squirted
through the wet hands of the
Knights keeper and ended
up settling into the back of
the Shasta net.
Twenty minutes later,
the Golden Eagles were
awarded a free kick from 40
yards out, and freshman
right back Jason Apolinar
found sophomore Makenzie
Lukas streaking into the
goal area. Lukas wasted no
time slashing home a header
goal for a 2-0 FRC lead.
In the second half, the
Golden Eagles dominated
possession of the ball and
created numerous scoring
opportunities from both
flanks, but as the rain in-
creased, so did the greasi-
ness of the ball, and no more
goals were to be had.
Sophomore keeper Antony
Wakeford recorded four
saves on the day for his 10th
clean sheet of the season.
Wakeford is now ranked
No. 5 amongst keepers in the
state, with a goals against
average of 0.54.
"I don't know if we were
nervous during the first half
because this was our confer-
ence opener, or if the rain
and wind was getting into
our head s, but {re played aw-
ful soccer," said second-year
coach Don Williams. "In the
second half we made some
great adjustments and we
were back to our attractive
passing and attacking soccer
that I want to see us play."
Next, it was the Lady
Eagles' (4-5-3) turn to see
if they could pull off a
conference opening win
against a very strong Lady
Knights team, which came
in at 6-4-0 and boasted the
No. 3 scorer in the state in
Allie Maxwell.
The FRC women Were def-
initely up for the challenge,
as their trademark posses-
sion and passing game paid
dividends with a 3-1 win.
Freshman Keaton Wheeler
latched onto a ball inside the
penalty box and drove a shot
low and to the near post of
the Shasta keeper. The slick
ball skipped into the goal for
an early 1-0 FRC lead. The
Lady Eagles nursed the 1=0
lead though the half, but
were not finished scoring.
Freshman and former
Quincy High player of the
year Samantha Green came
forward with the ball from
her center back position and
found fellow freshman Ale-
sha Stoffel on the left flank.
Stoffel made a move with
the ball and cracked a shot
over the head of the Lady
Knights keeper and into the
net at the far post for a 2-0
FRC lead.
Shasta still had something
to say about how the game
would go, however, and beat
FRC's very tough goal keep-
er, Korey Cline, to make the
match close at 2-1.
Cline made sure that there
were no further goals,
recording eight saves on the
day.
It took only two minutes
for the FRC women to re-
spond to the Shasta goal,
when freshman Grace Pe-
droza struck a laser shot
that ricocheted off the bot-
tom of the crossbar and into
the back of the Shasta net to
make the final score 3-1.
"This was by far our best
performance this year," said
Williams. "Our women are
really playing attractive soc-
cer, and we moved the ball
very well. Our defensive
play still needs work, but
Cline came up with some
key outstanding saves late
in the match to preserve the
win."
Next up for Feather River
is a road trip to Butte Col-
lege Oct. 14. According to all
scouting reports, the Butte
teams are going to be very
tough.

Charming, well built,
seasonal cabin on the river.

Despite last week's freak-
ish snow, I'm hoping we still
have several weeks left in
the trail season. Get out now
while you can!
Doug Self, chief executive
officer at Seneca Healthcare
in Chester, has taken a two-
month leave of absence to
ride his bicycle across the
country from San Diego to
San Augustine, Fla., follow-
ing Adventure Cycling's
Southern Tier Route. He
plans to average 60 miles a
day six days a week, with
one rest day per week. He
estimates he will complete
the 3,093 miles in 60 days.
You can follow his progress
at usabik-
eride.blogspot.com. Last
time I checked, he was in
west Texas.
The Lassen National For-
est said last week that it has
plans to improve its 24-mile
trail network in the Cari-
bou Wilderness next sum-
mer, Improvements include
waterbar installation at the
trailhead, new destination
signs, a kiosk with map and
information, and portal
signs for each trailhead, in-
cluding Spencer Meadows,
Heart Lake, Echo Lake and
Star Lake trailheads.
Waterbars? It kills me to
see public agencies spend-
ing money on waterbars.
Good trail design negates
the need for waterbars. In-
stalling waterbars is a stop-
gap measure. Build the trail

The Sierra Buttes Trails
Stewardship spent last
weekend working on the Pa-
cific Crest Trail in the
Bucks Lake Wilderness.
This Sunday, Oct. 16, the
group heads to the Lakes
Basin outside of Graeagle
for work on the Jamaison
Creek Trail. For all the de-
tails, visit sierratrails.org.
SBTS has fini'shed its
restoration of the Bucks
Creek Loop Trail. Funded
by the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act, the
work included building a
"stringer" bridge and con-
structing several hundred
feet of turnpikes, elevated
paths through wet areas.
For pictures of the work,
visit sierratrails.0rg.
The creek crossing was of-
ten a deal-breaker for cross-
country skiers; now, with
the bridge in place, skiers
should have smooth sailing.
The Yahi Group of the
Sierra Club, out of Chico,
plans a bike ride along the
Susan River this Sunday,
Oct. 16. The group will fol-
low the Bizz Johnson Trail
from Susanville toward
Westwood. Organizers are
hoping for some fall color on
the route, which will be a
maximum of 20 miles round-
trip. This ride requires
some endurance as it is
mostly uphill, although
gradually, on the way out.
Please bring a properly
prepared bike, spare tube,
helmet (required), lunch,
water and money for dinner
in Chester. Cars or trucks
that Can carry bikes espe-
cially appreciated. Rain can-
cels. Contact leader Jeanne
at 899-9980 or assistant
leader John at 872-8258 for
alternate meeting place.
The following Saturday,
Oct. 22, the group plans to
do some maintenance on
cross-country ski trails at
Colby Meadows. The Forest
Service will provide tools;
you should bring work
clothes, boots, gloves and
lunch. Call leader Larry at
342-7998 or assistant leader
Ken at 693-2134 for alternate
meeting place.
The group will reprise
this outing Saturday, 0at.
29. Same bat time, same bat
place.
Lassen Land and "Trails
Trust offers its last two Bizz
Johnson Trail shuttles of
the season Saturdays, Oct.

a truck and trailer shuttles
bikes from Susanville to
starting points along the
trail, while a bus transports
hikers and bike riders. The
shuttles allow people to
arrange one-way and
mostly downhill -- trips on
the trail without having to
plan their own vehicle shut-
tles.
Departure is from the Su-
sanville Railroad Depot on
Richmond Road at 8:30 a.m.
Shuttle stops are Devil's
Corral (7-mile return ride),
Fredonyer Summit (12
miles) and Mason Station
(18 miles) en route to the fi-
nal stop at the Westwood
trailhead (30 miles). Fares
vary according to stop.
Participants should be at
the Susanville Depot a half-
hour before departure to al-
low time for bicycle loading.

tration link. More informa-
tion is available by calling
