FOOTBALL COACH ES Mr. Gunnari Mr. Rose Mr. Jones Mr. Hart Mr. Hitchcock '57 FOOTBALL Fall of l957 brought the first varsity football season at C.V. and it proved to be a successful season, since 6 out of 9 games played were won. The first game came along and all Castro Valley rooters had hopes for a victory. Victory it was as C.V. downed the DeAnza Dons 28-2. With high spirits the Spartans continued to the 2nd game against Alhambra and Castro Valley was soon all smiles, for we ousted them 33-l 3. The next test 'was Oakland Tech, a very powerful team from the O.A.L., Castro Valley beat them 27-l9. Once again the Spartan team showed their stuff in a close game with St. Mary's. The score was 2O-l3. lnto our league games Castro Valley roared challenging first our close rivals, Hayward. Even the most faithful Spartan became a little worried as the Farmers led at the half 7-6. But spirit and teamwork brought touchdown after touchdown, until the much desired victory was attained 25-7. The spirit of Castro Valley was at its peak when the gallant C.V. team suddenly lost that old drive and determination which had won so many games in the past. They met San Leandro, who was favored to take the League and finally met defeat in that thirteenth game. lt's an old saying that trouble comes in threes, and thus it was for Castro Valley, as Encinal and San Lorenzo beat C.V. by the scores of 47-l4 and l3-7 respectively. Then came the Arroyo game, which was Castro Valley's from start to finish. This finished the season with 6 wins out of 9 games, an outstanding record for the first year in varsity competition, an outstanding record and an outstanding team.
