CHATTER: LAMPERT'S SWING TRANSFERS TO THE LINKS.Byline: Lee Barnathan Staff Writer She wasn't known in softball circles, but she's on her way to being known on the golf course. Chaminade of West Hills' Holly Lampert played outfield and second base for the softball team last year that reached the Southern Section final. She won't return because she has found golf to be her sport. Although just 5-foot-4, Lampert drives a ball about 240 yards, helping her handicap to drop to 7.3. She has been medalist in five high school matches, most recently Wednesday against Calabasas at Westlake Country Club. She shot 3-over-par 34 in her team's 10-stroke victory. ``I never took lessons,'' she said. ``I just started in high school. I love to practice. I love to play. I love the competition. I've met so many people.'' Her freshman year coincided with the start of girls' golf. Lampert was one of the original six members. The Eagles are 9-3 with her as their No. 1 golfer. . . .

The Stanford-bound senior gathered himself in time to unleash four touchdown passes against Burroughs of Burbank - including a 7-yarder to Kevin Donoho in the fourth quarter to put the game away - and push ahead of Ryan Connors as Hart's career touchdown leader. Matter, who finished with 328 yards and four touchdowns on 19-of-31 passing, now has 66 career touchdown passes in two years. He has thrown for 2,160 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. ``It feels good, but I'm not about the numbers and records,'' Matter said. ``With all the great quarterbacks we've had, I guess it's a big honor, but I'm just really out to get wins.'' COURTNEY SCHULTZ Harvard-Westlake volleyball, Junior Her dominating performance at a preseason tournament in Hawaii made the Wolverines of Studio City confident Schultz could carry them, and she hasn't disappointed. The 6-foot-1 middle blocker is the heart of the Daily News' top-ranked team, which also is ranked in the top 20 of multiple national polls. Last week, she had 18 kills against Louisville of Woodland Hills and 11 kills and four blocks in Thursday's three-game victory over second-place Flintridge Sacred Heart to preserve Harvard-Westlake's perfect Mission League record.

HEAD TO HEAD RYAN FOLTZ Westlake Defensive back Two of the top athletes in the region lock up in this annual rivalry. Foltz is a lean, fluid, 6-foot-1, 190-pounder who has the speed to run with opposing receivers, the athleticism to match them and the ferocious hitting to intimidate them. He's the total package and his diverse ability makes him a weapon in the secondary. Considered the best man-on-man coverage back in region, making blitz packages successful. L. RAY HAWKINS Newbury Park Wide receiver Hawkins is the Panthers' top receiver, having caught 28 passes for 554 yards and four touchdowns, but the problem is he might have to play quarterback, as he did in relief of Ryan Lombardo in the second half of the Panthers' 44-0 victory over Simi Valley on Friday. Lombardo occasionally suffers knee trouble related to a growth spurt growth spurt Pediatrics A period of rapid growth in middle adolescence; ♀ ↑ ±8 cm/yr ±age 12; ♂ ↑ ±10 cm/yr ± age 14; GS is orderly, affecting acral parts–ie, hands and feet grow before proximal regions, , but if he's healthy, he'll play Friday, moving Hawkins back to his regular position, where his size (6-foot) and speed make him difficult to defend.
