l .V. Football-A Determined Defense The most successful of Charter Oak's three football teams was the junior var- sity level. They finished their season with the competitive record of 2 and 5, with three ties in league. HThe ties were really frustrating, because we felt as if we had come so close to winning, commented one of the players. The Lancers' low scores in these games were attributed to C.O.'s exten- sive defensive strength. This allowed them to hold powerful offensive teams, such as San Dimas, to equally low scores. Only once did the Lancers score more than one touch down in a league game. On this occasion, they defeated Royal Oak 28-Ql in a very offensive game. This event proved to be the high point of the season. Determination played a major part in this victory, as well as in every game they played. Their common desire to win united them and enabled them to function well as a team. Our determi- nation was probably our greatest asset because it was the basis of all of our strength, commented tightend Tony Albin. FRONT ROW: D. Fiol, M. Gallino, l. Salvaggio, S. Papez, N. Pill, B.

Froshfgoph-A Final Accornplishment There must be something to the old adage, Z-Xll's well that ends well, because the freshman X sopho- more football team ended their sea- son with a feeling of accomplish- ment after beating Sierra Vista 15-6 for their only victory of the season. The defensively dominated, ener- getic freshmen had problems scor- ing due to difficulty holding on to the ball and working as a team unit. However, these were eventually overcome by the leadership and skill of determined individuals, in' cluding strong safety leff Muncie, and high-scoring free safety Chris Subject. Chris explained, We wer- en't too disappointed because we recognized this as a learning experf ience, and our final victory restored our confidence. We're hopeful for the future. - N.O.
