Olivas two much

COSTA MESA — Jorge Olivas clutched his left hand with his right hand.

Standing near the Estancia High sideline, he motioned to his injured hand.

Coach Gannon Burks saw him in pain, yet Olivas never asked to be substituted for with 15 minutes left in the boys’ soccer match against Newport Harbor.

“How much time is left?” Olivas spoke up after Burks misunderstood his hand gesture.

Burks really had no reason to inform Olivas that time was running out on the Sailors Wednesday.

Olivas was the reason why.

The senior scored twice, using his head the first time and his right foot the second time to lead the Eagles to a 3-1 nonleague victory at Estancia.

Olivas’ foot put the match away in the 64th minute, allowing Estancia (3-0-1) to remain unbeaten.

Midfielder Antonio Gonzalez had a foot in each of the goals produced by Estancia, ranked No. 8 in the CIF Southern Section Division IV preseason coaches’ poll.

Estancia’s bench got a clear view of his second precise assist to Olivas. From the sideline, Gonzalez fed a running Olivas.

Olivas beat the defender toward the inside before leaving him and goalkeeper Jose Hernandez deep in the box all alone for a couple of seconds.

Olivas finished fast, sneaking it past Hernandez. The footwork displayed on the attack got the larger-than-usual home crowd off its feet.

“Olivas is definitely our top player,” Burks said.

It took the fourth match of the season for Olivas to prove that he can finish.

The goals are Olivas’ first two of the season. A good time to find his touch as Estancia on Friday plays Santa Margarita, ranked No. 1 in Division I.

“Santa Margarita is next,” said Olivas of the challenge of continuing Estancia’s unbeaten season.

Estancia kept it alive by controlling the action against Newport Harbor, the second school the Eagles have beaten in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.

The other win came against Corona del Mar.

This time, the defense gave up a goal.

A foul from 30 yards out set up Newport Harbor (1-1-1) four minutes into the second half.

On a fake direct free kick, striker Innocente Tellez blasted a beauty toward the far right post, away from keeper Edgar Vega’s outstretched hands.

The senior tied it at 1-1, giving the Sailors a reason to celebrate.

What transpired the rest of the way disappointed Newport Harbor first-year coach Michael Ditta.

“There was definitely some lack of dedication I think in the game to make plays and read the game, and be ready to stop their attack,” Ditta said. “We couldn’t do that very well.”

Four minutes after tying the match, Newport Harbor gave up the lead.

Corner kicks usually lead to great scoring opportunities. Estancia proved that in defeating Newport Harbor for the second straight season.

The Sailors struggled getting a corner kick out of the box. Estancia senior Jesus Garcia got control of the ball, sending it to the left to a wide open Gonzalez.

Gonzalez knocked the pass down before sending the ball toward the right side of the net, putting Estancia ahead, 2-1, in the 48th minute.

After scoring his first goal of the season, Gonzalez raced toward the Eagles’ bench. Once he got close enough, he jumped on Burks.

“Our wings are really strong this year,” Burks said. “Normally in the past, our wings have been kind of weak.”

Nothing looks weak to Burks now. Maybe Olivas’ left hand, but he showed he touches the ball better with his head and right foot.
