The junior Varsity Basketball Team also had a tough season this year. Leaving their season with only two wins, however, the junior Varsity exhib- ited excellent timing and did an adequate all- around job. The main problem seemed to be the lack of height. Because of the jV's lack of height, the Comanches were rebounded in most of their games. The Comanches came in second place at their own Canyon junior Varsity Classic. They came in second after losing a super tough game to an excellent Servite team. The highlight game of the season was when the Comaches beat Tustin in the second round of league play. This crucial win knocked the Tillers out of a chance to win the junior Varsity Century League championship. The jV's did, however, win their first game of the season against the EI Mod- ena Vanguards, 43-27. Coy Glass was named most valuable player on the jV team. Sherm Donegan acted as captain, and David Alvarado was named Most Improved. Glen Veevert was given the Coach's Award for the Best Defensive Player of the year for the jV Comanche Basketball Team. 1.

My IW... The Sophomore Varsity Basketball Team placed second in the Century League, becoming the only basketball team at Canyon to place in the top three of the Century League this year. The team was set into the hands of Coach Dan Brady. It was the first time Coach Brady helped with Canyon's athletic department. The most exciting game of the Sophomore Var- sity team was against Villa Park. Canyon was down by thirteen points after only five minutes of play during the first quarter of the game. At halftime, the Comanches found themselves down by fifteen points. In the second half, the exuberant Com- anches fought back within two points with only six seconds to play. However, the Sophomore team did manage to score the two desperately needed points to tie the game. With momentum in their fa- vor, the Comanches beat the Spartans by six points in overtime. Ron Fardig and Chris Alvario exhibited their ex- cellent shooting ability throughout the season. Brett Scott was considered their playmaker, and he did an excellent job as guard. Rob Alvarado and Ray Larkins displayed great defensive hustle, along with Rene Rodriguez and Augustin DeValle's all out hustle throughout the games. Blair Peterson be- came an excellent backup and showed a fantastic attitude, on and off the court. The Sophomore Varsity Basketball team ended their season with a 10-4-0 league record. The team ended up capturing second place behind league champion, Foothill. The Sophomore IV team, however, did not do quite as well. ln fact, they finished their season with a 2-18-0 record. The high point of their season was the Comanches 51-50 victory over Foothill High. The team was coached by Coach Craig Nance. Coach Nance stated that the team never gave up, even when the team was down by quite a few. Ioel Larson was the high point man throughout the sea- son with 129 points. His game high was 19 points. Scott Siems was named Most Valuable Player. The Most Improved Player was Ed Earl. Matt Lamph was given the title of Team Captain. The Best De- fensive Player went to Ed Haskell. The Sophomore IV Team set an excellent example of good sports- manship as noted by Coach Nance and the other Century League teams. 1. Ioel Larson sets up to Matt Lamph. 2.
