HIGHLAND GRAD JARVEY LANDS AT CSUN.


Byline: Dave Shelburne Staff Writer

Highland High graduate and three-time Southern Section finalist Erik Jarvey hopes to launch his college career Monday, competing for Cal State Northridge in the Northwest Collegiate at Trysting Tree Origins of the name

The 2005 Golden League champion, who originally intended to accept a partial golf scholarship from Loyola Marymount but opted for Northridge because of its cheaper tuition, is one of 10 players competing for one of five starting jobs on a team expected to be considerably stronger than last season.

``We've got five new faces,'' Northridge coach Jim Bracken said, ``and I really think we're going to be competitive. Everyone on the team can shoot under par.''

Bracken said he believes the Matadors have improved enough to contend for the Big West Conference championship, which awards its winner an automatic regional berth in the NCAA NCAA

 Division I playoffs.

``I really think we can compete for that,'' said Bracken, whose Northridge program has advanced just one team - his 2000 Big Sky Conference championship edition - to regional play since the Matadors moved up from Division II to Division I in 1990.

Bracken, who is starting his 20th year as Northridge coach, thinks next week's tournament at Corvallis could reveal a lot about the Matadors' potential - which has made the team's qualifying rounds so competitive.

After three qualifying rounds, Jarvey - one of three freshmen - is holding his own on a team that includes five seniors and two juniors. His 67 at Porter Ranch Country Club is the second-best score.

Another freshman, former L.A. City Section champion Albert Lee Albert Lee (born December 21, 1943 in Leominster, Herefordshire) is an English guitarist known for his finger-style and Hybrid picking technique. Early life

 from Fairfax High, is low at 66, also at Porter Ranch.

``Erik has a great attitude,'' Bracken said. ``He doesn't seem to have a lot of highs and lows. He stays on an even keel, and he makes a lot of birdies.''

Erik Jarvey had hoped to be one of two Jarveys playing for Northridge this season. But older brother Lawrence Brother Lawrence (c. 1610 - February 12, 1691) was a Carmelite monk, who is today most commonly remembered for the closeness of his relationship to God as recorded in the classic Christian text, The Practice of the Presence of God. , Highland's first Southern Section finalist, who nearly won the Western State Conference scoring title his final year at College of the Canyons College of the Canyons is one of the fastest-growing community colleges in the state.
