RAMS DOMINATE We had a great year! Led by senior Lester Calvin the Rams raced to a 18- 3 overall record. They added a All West Conference Crown as a result of sharpshooters: Jeff Madron, Babe Delgado, John Smith, and Lalo Quin- tana. Strong rebounding by Miguel Gonzales, Steve Lopez, Jose Ra- mirez, and Jack Wagner helped the season bounce in the Rams direction. The team was rounded out with the late addition of Abel Chabolla as a point guard. After Christmas, the Rams racked up 15 victories in a row, to place them in a good starting position for the State Tournament. The Rams de- feated Superior High School in the quarterfinals by a score of 55-48. In the semi-finals, the Rams season came to an end at the hands of the Thatcher Eagles by a score of 61 -54. The Rams hustled and played tough all year long. Great year guys! The Evil Eye. Miguel Gonzales. Babe and Jeff Madron disagree with the ref. Skyborn! Lester Calvin shoots for two.
