YouNq GuTTy RarIn to qo Fielding a team with 2 1 juniors and 39 sophomores but no seniors the DBMS Brahma machine took it on the chin in their first year of existance. Although outsized in almost every game, the gutty Brah- mas were never out hustled. Being placed in the tough Hacienda league meant that the Brahmas had to face such powerful football teams as Ganesha, Gary, and Chino, all CIF I have a lot of respect, they are all good hardworking kids. -Coach Terry Roche powers. Non-league opponents included other teams who made CIF play-offs. It was obvious that the Brahmas were playing a level competi- tion above their skills and experience. The kids played better than expected. It was sad that they had to play Varsity level football. They ' re a great Junior Varsity team. said head Coach Terry Roche. The DBMS Brahmas are directed by a well experienced staff of coaches. They learned all their skilled moves and plays from coaches that come from all over. The football team and coaches are planning for next year. They want revenge from the losses this past season. I have a lot of respect, they are all good hard- working kids, stated Coach Roche, In the future we will be very competitive and prob- ably the best team around.

We had two weeks of very stren- uous practice, twice a day, morning and night. This really helped us, especially for our win over Marshall Fundamental, said Perry Har- pold. It is obvious that the summer practice gave the football team the sense of together- ness. JL A AS HE GOES BACK TO PASS, starting quarterback Richard Gonzales is heavily pressured by the Elsinore defense. He was often preserved because of lack of size in the offensive line. A AS THE RECEIVERS BREAK EARLY, the Brahma offense plans the next play. The offense had an even mix of running and passing plays. 96 Recreation Varsity Football

ConFjcIent not Cocky Storming out onto the field the freshmen football team was ready for their first high school football game. A team of 5 1 ready-to-fight freshmen took their first win at 15 - 13 against Elsinore. And kept going making all their games victories. Although the freshman team has won every game, they do not take it for granted that they are special. We ' re confident but not cocky , said Coach Anthony Kuns. They believe they can be as good as they try. They seem to be a team in the best sense of the word. They really pull for each other. They believe they can be as good as they try. -Coach Anthony Kuns Practicing twice a day over the summer and every day after school made the team what they were; undefeated in league. The Diamond Bar Brahma freshmen football team is a really talented football team. We have the best quarterback, wide receivers, offensive linemen, and running backs in league. Leading the freshmen team were Craig Washington, Curtis Le Desma, David Jones, Larry Vladic, Todd Zimmerman, Dean Dul- lude, and Todd Olsen. said Coach Kuns. Our positive attitude, hard work, and good coaching, have helped us a lot. stated Jim Harrington.
