BETWEEN THE LINES THERE 'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME Often times it was the little things that decided the big games. The biggest of the little was home field advantage. But what it meant was different from sport to sport and from field to diamond to court. The obvious factor was always the crowdg every athlete loved to have it behind him and hated to play against it. But other factors also affected the outcome of the game. In football it was 0-W' the intense rivalry that stemmed from three schools sharing the same stadium. ln basketball it was the mystique brought about by the close, cramped quarters of the gym. One of the biggest advantages occurred at Stengel Field, home of the baseball team. We're the only team in league with lights. So when other schools come to play us, the games are at 7:30 instead of 3:00. That gives us a psychological edge, explained junior Hyok Chang. No matter what sport, all the teams preferred playing at home, and definitely had better records there.

We had to be quiet. It gave us time to think about the gamef, ex- plained junior Paul Wiley about the silent theory of the football team. Another way to prepare for the games was demonstrated by the wa- ter polo team.

BASKETBALL n step with tradition, the varsity basketball team had another fine year that kept the fans coming back for more. Leading the team at the point guard position was two-year varsity starter Brad Adam. He also led the team in the score book with 21 points per game. Pulling down rebounds for the team were second year varsity players senior Mike Harrison and senior Marc Schrobligen. Both averaged in double figures. Having a 6'7 and a 6'6 player really came in handy against some of the bigger teams, said senior Anthony Burgess. One aspect of the game that the team excelled at was the fast break. Junior Raffie Eskandarian and seniors Tuan Le and Erik Anderson often led it, with senior Ben Somera and junior Brian Cortes filling the lanes.
