ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Paly overcame a mixup at the scoring table that reportedly erased two Mountain View goals and played on after three starters were excluded on fouls and a fourth, Pinsker, was ejected. Palo Alto will visit Los Altos on Oct. 20 (6:45 p.m.) with a shot to tie the Eagles for the regular-season title. Los Altos won the first meeting, 9-8. In Cupertino, Gunn rolled to a 16-4 SCVAL De Anza Division victory over host Homestead as Tyler Wilson poured in six goals and Gavin Kerr added four. The Titans (4-3 in league) also got two goals from Michael Znidarsic and Coby Wayne.

Good for Business. Good for You. Good for the Community.
Buying a new car is a major purchase. First, you compare features, design, mileage, and dependability. You identify several suitable makes and models, and then compare price. With all features and benefits being equal, would you choose the most expensive, or look to the one offering the best value? You wouldn’t pay more than you have to, and homebuyers are no different. When selling your home, the asking price determines your success. Although only you make the pricing decision, it is wise to ask your agent for advice. Your agent knows what buyers have been willing to pay for other

homes similar to yours. Your price must be competitive against those, and no higher. Buyers often pay full price when they recognize a good value, yet rarely consider an overpriced home. Really, it is the buyers who set the sale price. No matter what you ask, until a buyer is willing to pay your price, no sale will take place. How do you determine the right price? Look closely at each sale that your agent has researched, comparing time on the market, features, and then the final sale price. Your home’s ideal price can be found in the maze of statistics provided by your agent. Price your home to sell, and buyers will compete for it.

Cross country Junior John Lovegren failed to score any points for his MenloAtherton boys team on Tuesday. Then again, just finishing took every ounce of courage and determination he could muster. It would have been easier to give up on the race and call it a day. Lovegren, instead, picked himself off the dirt of the Crystal Springs Course in the hills west of Belmont, and without bothering to dust himself off, started all over again. He continued to race despite feeling dizzy and suffering headaches over the final stretch. Bears’ senior Mike Hester finished in third place, three minutes ahead of Lovegren, and was one of the first to comfort him. Hester completed the 2.95-mile course in 15:46, eight seconds behind the winning time recorded by Carlmont’s Jeffrey Stalun. M-A junior George Baier finished 10th in 16:22. Lovegren doesn’t exactly know what happened during the PAL race. He collapsed, or fainted, or something, near the 1 1/2 mile mark of the course. He just remembers being on the ground, feeling a push, and getting up to continue racing. The Bears finished third (with 81 points), to Carlmont (30) and Aragon (76), but the result was pushed down the priority list as coaches and runners came to the aid of their teammate. Lovegren, who still managed to finished 62nd out of 111 runners, even tried to apologize for letting his teammates down. Afterward he described how he felt as “being car sick.” Menlo-Atherton has one of the top teams in the CCS, though Carlmont, as usual, dominated the race. The Scots had all seven of their runners finish among the top 13. Senior Jordan Scandlyn was MA’s third runner, finishing 17th in 16:57. Zach Plante and Alexander Aguiar also scored for the Bears. The M-A boys will enter the PAL championship meet, which counts double, tied with Aragon for second place. The top nine teams (of 17) qualify for the CCS meet, which will also be held at Crystal Springs on Nov. 12. N
