NET WORK PAYS OFF Hard work and team effort made for a very successful season. With a record of 14-2 overall and 12-2 in league play, it was the best year in the team ' s history, marking their second year in CIF. This team met my expectations per- fectly; hard work pays off, commended Coach Tom Allen, He also added that there were no stars, but that the team as a whole enabled them to reach the CIF play-offs. Although they practiced as much as five hours a week, it wasn ' t all work. Practice included can-can dancing for excercise and playing follow-the-leader on the football field. Their practice paid off. Before the match at Colton, Coach Allen promised the girls that if they beat Colton by at least 6-3, he would take them to Shakeys. They beat Colton by 7-2 and ate Coach Allen into debt.

...BUT LIONS OVERCOME OBSTACLES Along with these NEWS came the old turnover. This problem besieged the team, causing close skirmishes with opponents and cost the team valuable field position and in the end, losses to Poly and Barstow. However, Doug Reynolds emerged as CIF ' s second leading rusher after nine games with 1187 yards on 206 carries. Keith Shorter also shared the limelight as the Press Enterprise ' s Prep-Athlete of the week for his outstanding performance against the Colton Yellow Jackets. The homecoming game pitted AHS against Colton. Oddly enough, the Lions had never lost a homecoming game and Colton had never lost to our Varsity. After forty-eight minutes of playing, the crowd no longer wondered which streak would end as they saw the maroon and gold whip Colton 33-14 giv- ing AHS a CIF berth as the third place team.
