ophomores Meet the Challenge Entering the Sierra League was a real eye opener, said sophomore foot- ball coach Steve Salmons. Salmons who has been coaching at Diamond Bar since it o ened said the team faced new challyenges in the Sierra League. The lea ue had just started playing both sopliomores and juniors together, while Diamond Bar remained with just a sophomore team. The size of the teams also presented problems along with being scouted for the first time. The competition in the league was much tougher, their players were big- ger and tougher, said sophomore Briam Loft. Injpries also plagued the team losing t ree centers in three games. Even with these problems the team showed their talent in impressive per- formances against Centennial defeating them 20-0 and holding the strongest team in the league, SportsfSophomore Football undefeated Los Altos who averaged 30 points a game to just 16 oints. The Brahma offense was fed by quarterbacks Scott Rache, Dwayne Vison, and running back Brian Shuford. In their four victories, the offense scored over 70 points, while holding their opponents to just a few of the outstanding perfor- mances turned in by individuals. This is a young and talented team, said Coach Salmons. The team only lost by .eight points twice and lost two games by one point. They gave us enthusiasm when we needed it and encouraged us when we were down, said sophomore Dave Moreland about coaches Tony Cruz. Steve Salmons, and Anthony Sanchez. Although the coaches were tough we respected them, said Loft. Despite the disappointin perfor- mance record the team kept all of their games close until the fourth quarter. With the experience of this year the sophomores will be great help to the varsity next year.
