J.V. Finishes Strongg Varsity Ends Dismal Year 'SWait til next year, was the cry of this year's Varsity Basketball team as the Mustangs won only a scarce amount of contests. Although the wins were few, the excitement was there as in the Dana Hills game, when the famed Dr, F.,,' Mark Falke, slammed in a swooping dunk shot to cap David Dawels 25 point performance and Mesa's first win, 55-47. Coach Joe Dominicis first Varsity season has shown him looking for height and improvement on next year's squad. Other good Varsity players were playmaking guard Willie Stavricos, consistent guard Jim Edson, Junior forward Chris Beasley and Canadian Jeff Hiscock. The J.V. team did as expected, finishing high in the standings. Led by Freshmen Roger Lackey and Mike Love along with brothers Steve and Billy Lux, the Me- sans won most of their games by a considerable margins. Coach Mark Embree was very pleased with the way the team played all year, especially with the younger players the Junior Varsity had. But this experience will prove to be valuable as the youngsters grow into stronger Varsity players of the future. l.

Freshman Team Cvoodg Sophomores Shoot To Victory The l977-78 underclass basketball teams of Costa Mesa High finished out the year as many expected, in the middle of the league standings. The Sophomores, coached by Jim Gmur, ended the season with a 5-9 league record and a fifth place finish in South Coast League play. Hurting the Sophs' chances considerably this year was the loss of many good players to the J.V. squad. Helping the team all year were guards Jon Richardson and Owen Watamura, forward Jeff MacClean and sixth man Chris Sorce. The Freshmen of coach Paul Kahn ended the year in third place, losing games by very close scores. They were led all year by Greg Teregis and Max Marold on offense, while Mike Murray led the defense. Putting all of this together, the Frosh did a good job in pre-season as well as league action. l. .lcff Sutterfield shoots over San Clemente's .lohn Carson. 2. Freshmen P.J.
