Brief: On Elks’ Hoop Shoots Contest

Sun Staff ReportsDee Dee Appleton won the

Alameda Women’s Golf Club (AWGC) net tournament event with a net 71, besting 36 other golfers last Thursday, Jan. 22, on the Earl Fry Course.

Weather was a lot cooler than forecast, and a slight breeze made it feel cold even in the little sunshine that made it through the high fog and low clouds. All the flight winners played well, and all four flights had a tie in one of the first four places.

Appleton played in the third flight — handicap of 27 to 33. She held off Bonnie Kim, who shot a net 72, for the victory. Raye Pereira shot a net 74 for third place, while Kay Park and Wilda Moore both shot a net 77 to tie for fourth in the flight.

Kim, Claire Loud, who played in the second flight and Holly Cromer, who played in the first flight, all tied for second place overall in the tournament with a trio of net 72s. The first flight pitted golfers with a hand-icap of nine to 18.

Cromer had a sizeable dis-tance between her and the sec-ond-place holders in the flight. Tai Chewpanich and Peggy Miller both shot a net 77 for sec-ond place. Dot Moody finished in fourth place with a net 78.

Like Cromer, Loud won the second flight — handicap of 21 to 25 — by a sizable margin. Madeline Sally posted a net 77 for second place in the flight. Yvonne Lee scored a net 78 for third place, while Debbie Adams and Kim Sung shot net 80s for a tie of fourth place.

Pam Curtis won the fourth flight — handicap of 34 to 40 — with a net 75. She outdueled several other competitors including Angie Vaccarezza who finished second with a net 80. Shirl Ames shot a net 81, while Bev Blatt and Connie Wendling each posted a net 83.

Chewpanich might not have won her flight, but she did win the closest-to-the-hole competition of the fourth hole by hitting her ball 24’ 1” from the pin. Chewpanich also shot the lowest gross score of the event with a net 86.

Loud came in second in the closest-to-hole competi-tion with her ball landing 35’ 1” from the pin. Jenny Bae won the competition on the 15th hole. Bae shot her ball 12’ 4” from the pin, while Loud finished second again by placing her ball 13’ 11” from the hole.

Come out to Ala-meda’s downtown district on Super

Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1, and cheer on your favorite team.

For those who enjoy gathering with a crowd for food and drinks during the big game, a number of popular eater-ies and sports bars in the Park Street Business Dis-trict that will be televising the game live on their big screens:

Alameda Theatre & Cineplex, 2317 Central Ave., invites the commu-nity to watch the Super Bowl game on the biggest movie screen in the Bay Area! Admission is free and tickets are available now at the Theatre Box Office on a first come, first served basis. For cozier viewing, you can also opt to watch the game in the new Cinema

Grill. Beer, wine and food specials will be available at the restaurant, or you can take your food and drinks into the theatre with a “backstage pass.”

American Oak, 2319 Santa Clara Ave., is your destination for NFL foot-ball and Sunday Brunch. Celebrate the Super Bowl kick-off while enjoying a casual brunch with a classic cocktail or two.

Capone’s Speakeasy, 1400 Park St., will be offering drink discounts for those wearing team colors. This is Alameda’s newest spot to view the game on big screen TVs. Enjoy drink specials and a game-day menu starting at 1 p.m. But you’ll want to get there early to grab a good seat.

Fire Den Bar & Grill, 1231 Park St., is the perfect place to meet with friends and enjoy great

food and cold beers. FD Bar is newly renovated and fea-tures an array of big screen HDTVs, making it the des-tination for everyone from the casual sports fan to the die-hard fanatic.

Linguini’s Pizza & Brew, 1506 Park St., invites football fans to enjoy the action with food and drink specials starting at 1 p.m. $2 beef sliders, $3 garlic fries, $3 beers and more.

McGee’s Bar & Grill, 1645 Park St., is Ala-meda’s original fami-ly-friendly sports bar. With plenty of TV screens in-doors and a screen on the back patio, you won’t miss a minute of the game. And food from the new kitchen won’t disappoint either.

Speisekammer, 2424 Lincoln Ave., does things big. This is where you can sip big beers while watch-ing the Big Game on the big screen. They also have a big selection of appetizers and German dishes.

The Churchward Pub, 1515 Park St., will be “off the chain” with pre-game parties on Friday and Sat-urday night. But be sure to stop in on game day for a free barbecue.

The Hobnob, 1313 Park St., serves food and drink earlier than usual on Super Bowl Sunday. Root for your favorite team while watch-ing the game on two TVs with sound.

More Fanfare in the Downtown Zone

There are plenty of other places showing the game too. These neighborhood bars don’t necessarily offer food or have big screens but they are still a fun place to catch the game with a group of friends on Super Bowl Sunday:• Club House, 1215 Park St.• Lemon Tree, 2542 Santa Clara Ave.• Lost Weekend Lounge, 2320½ Santa Clara Ave.• Lucky 13, 1301 Park St.

The Park Street Business District offers great food and drink establishments, charming shops, professional services, and fun things to do!

Appleton Wins Women’s Weekly Golf Tourney

Ekene IkemeThree Alameda high school

basketball teams have a winning record with less than a month left in the 2014-15 season. But it’s the St. Joseph Notre Dame (SJND) women’s basketball team that has the best record of any basketball team on the Island. As of Tuesday, Jan. 27, their record sits at 14-7 overall after the team dropped its latest contest, a 60-53 loss to Valley Christian of Dublin on Saturday, Jan. 24.

The Pilots trailed the Vikings for most of the game. The Vikings took command of the game in the first period. They ended the opening quarter with a 13-9 advantage. The Vikings stretched their lead over the Pilots in the second period. The Pilots were held to just seven points in the quarter.

Valley Christian, on the other hand, more than doubled SJND’s tally by posting 15 points in the quarter. The Vikings took a 28-16 lead into halftime.

The Pilots were able to get their offense on track after halftime. The team managed to put 23 points in the period, more than their first-half total. However, the Vikings offense also came out smoking in the second half. They put up 24 points in the quarter, besting the Pilot’s strong effort. The 13-point deficit heading into the fourth quarter proved to be to much too overcome for the Pilots. SJND did outscore Valley Christian 14-8 in the last quarter, but it just shrank the losing point spread.

What made the Vikings’ win more impressive was the fact just four of their players scored. Junior

Nina Bessalo led the Vikings with 22 points. She also pulled down 11 rebounds. Senior Alyssa Arace scored 15 points, Alyssa Lorenzo posted 12 points and Kayla Frierson put up 11 points.

The Pilots, meanwhile, had a more collective effort with seven players showing up on the score sheet. Alyssa Gable led the Pilots with 19 points. She also grabbed six rebounds. Mira Love-Sangco scored 10 points and collected six assists on the evening. Ayesa Kearns also scored 10 points.

The Pilots took on Salesian of Richmond on Tuesday, Jan. 27, and will play St. Patrick/St. Vincent tomorrow and San Domenico of San Anselmo on Saturday, Jan. 31, in their next two contests. The Pilots sit in fourth place in the Tri-County Athletic League.

Lady Pilots Basketball Has Best Record in Town

Sun Staff ReportsSeveral sports programs admin-

istered by the Alameda Recreation and Parks Department (ARPD) have news updates for the city of Alameda.

The Alameda Gators swim team, a local year-round swim team that serves Alameda youth, is seeking donations to help fund its 2015 season. The Gators squad is almost halfway to its goal of

raising $12,000, having already raised more than $5,600 dollars. The money raised will fund the team’s expenses for the year. The Gators’ expenses include pool rent-al fees, pool equipment and major and minor team events such as the annual trip to Lake Tahoe. To donate, visit alameda-alga.com.

ARPD is holding Kayaking for Fitness classes for adults. Students can start their week off with a

low-impact aerobic workout via kayak while touring the local scen-ery. Each month, visit a new loca-tion exploring local wildlife, histo-ry, and scenic beauty. There are two classes every month. The next two classes are on Feb. 9 and Feb. 23 at the Grand Street Boat Ramp. The classes will run through May 18. There is a $38 fee per class.

Part two of twoAlameda high school teams and

athletes continued to show prow-ess in their respective sports in the latter portion of 2014.

Cross CountryNo Island

City team dis-played its domi-nance this year quite like the St. Joseph Notre Dame (SJND) men’s cross-country team. The team won its fourth straight North Coast Section (NCS) Division V title on Nov. 22 at the 3-mile Hayward High course.

The Pilots had three of the top six runners, among 164 total participants, in the champion-ship meet. The Pilots’ top five competitors had an average time of 16:32. SJND s o p h o m o r e Cooper Teare (15:55) finished with the second-fastest time of the tournament.

The season was not a complete success for the Pilots. The team finished second in the Division V California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) state meet on Nov. 29 at Woodward Park in Fresno. It would have been SJND’s third straight CIF Division V crown. The team finished with a top-five average time of 16:29, but lost to Xavier Prep of Palm Desert.

The Pilots’ women’s cross-coun-try team finished ninth out of 19 teams at the Division V women’s tournament. They had a top-five average time of 20:51.

Alameda High senior Bret Greene qualified for the CIF Division II meet as an individual. Greene (16:43) came in 122nd place out of 194 runners.

Water PoloThe Alameda High women’s

water polo team had a stellar 24-1 regular season record including a perfect 7-0 record in league play. They advanced to the NCS Division I quarterfinals after they knocked off Clayton Valley Charter of

Concord 8-7, but fell to Livermore 9-7 in the second round.

The Encinal High women’s water polo team finished 14-10-1 in the regular season. They earned the eighth seed in the NCS Division II play-offs, but lost in the open-ing round to Tamalpais of Mill Valley 16-9.

The Jets’ men’s team fin-ished the regu-lar season with an 11-16 record giving them a spot in the NCS Division II play-offs. However, they also lost to Tamalpais in the opening round 22-12 on Nov. 5.

VolleyballThe SJND women’s volleyball

team had another solid season, going 26-6 in the regular season. The Pilots won their first two NCS Division V playoff matches, against Valley Christian of Dublin
