FOOTBALL 1970: 3-6 In 1984, itwill be easy to look back and decide what Edgewood's 1970 fo o t b al 1 team was like. The 3-6 rec- ord will be scrutinized, and the decision made: crummy. The 1971 graduates will look back, and after those many years, will not rem- ember the game situations , the bad breaks, or even the scores of the games. They willonly vague y remember that the team lost more than they won. Even the p1ayer's memories will be dimmed after the high school years have b e co me ancient his- tory. But as our Senior Edi- tionisin effect a time cap- sule, let it here be recorded that 1970's footballream was much better than it's record. The 1970 edition of Tro- jan football was one of '- ceptionalpassing, good de- fense, and fairrunning. Jun- iors Dick Vale n cia, Gary Hahn, and Rich Havard led the offense as the passers. Their many fine targets in- cluded seniorreceivers Chris Moersch, Jim Strausbaugh, Bruce Guthrie, Mark Dover - spike, Bob MacBurney and underclassmen Geb Church, Tim Hillenburg, and Gary Roinecke. Semor Linemen were Dale Magner, Tim Dostal, CarlCiar aliq Scott Messenger, Mark Gebbracht. Dave Bertone, Ralph Maeda, and Bob Go1den Toe'H'etten stein, who doubled as the teams kicking specialist. Other seniorlettermen w ere Mike Esquivel, Craig 'Jello' Jeleniow ski, Vince Iacobo, a nd W a y ne Rosenkranta. The tri -captains were Dale Magner, CarlCiarfa1io, and Chris Moersch. When the Trojans beglan the season, it seemed t at perhaps th efates would smile on them this year. They defeated the Mark Keppe1Aztecs by one point, 14-13. Moersch and Hillen- burg pulled Valencia passes ,downfor TD's but the win - ning margin rxoved to be Golden Toe Hertenstein's PA T 's . Se nior fullback Mike Esquivel was named bg the coaches as the first layer of the Game'-. But from this point, until the South Hills game, EHS for- tunes seeme to go bad, and then worse. Edgewood next met the R 0 s e m e a d Panthers, ard were defeated 24-7. The Panthers rushed to a 10-0 advantage before 3 minutes had elapsed in the game. Troy blew several oppor- tunities to score, and seei as they were guilty of several? defensive lapses, cou1dn't get back in the game. Juniorslotback Tim Hillen- burgl was honored as Player of t e Ga,rne. The next two contests were with the Sierra League's elite , West Covina and Glendora. The West Covina Spartans spored on the first play of the game, and do- minated t e whole way. They won 26-0, Nothing seem ed to go right for the home team heros. It wasn't so much that they were over- a tc hed as that the other . 1 -1. Junior Richard Havard Q61 sprinfs for goal, with Geb Church L29 clearing the way. , li nr --. The Glendora ame was close the first half, tglendora man- agindg a 7-O lead. But the secon half seemed to be a rerun of the WC game. The Tartans muscled 32 points to win 39 -0. Linebacker Rich Havard was the Player of the Game against the Spartans, w hile tackle Dale Magnet reaped the same recognition for the Glendora game. The Covina contest prov- ed to be the fir-st of three heart-breaking defeats. EHS dominated the gam e , and after falling just shortof scorindg on many of their dri- ves le only 12 -6. With two minutes le t, it appeared the lea d would prove large e- nough anyway as the'Trojans controlled the ball at mid- field. But on a third down play, Covina nabbed an in- terception and scored. The PAT put them ahead by one point, 13-12, and that was the final score, EHS had out- played Covina in every way, yet the game was chalked up as a loss. Geb Church play- ed linebacker, tailback, and riorback the game. and a..-arced Pf51'er'f1::nors. Liwif ith 2 Q-ff record, Coach ivan Weil: crew next met Los Altos. Here again the y outplaged their oppo- nents everyw ere, but on the scoreboard. The score was tied at 7-7 when with 8 sec- onds left, Los Altos succeed- ed ona last ditch pass, good for 50 yards, and won 14-7. Edgewood 's seasonal lo now stood at 1-5, when gy' all rights it should have been 3 -3. Player of the Game want to Bob Hertenstein. The Trojans next man- aged to defeat their oppo- nents on the scoreboard as w ell as on the field. The South Hills team fell victim 14-8, while Troyneatly trimmed Azusa 28-0. 'Player of the Game' honors went to fullback Bob Sweatt and quarterback Gary Hahn. Edgewood played its fin- est game in its last one a- gainst La Puente. The rojans fought to take a 14-7 halftime lead into the locker room. The Warriors tied the game in the third ona 60 yd. punt return, and went ahead 21-14 in the fourth. Very near the end ofthe game, the Trojans scored again. Dick Valencia threw the season's most controversial pass on an attempt to score a 2 pt. Con- version. End Gary Roenicke caught the ball right on the out -of-bounds line, and though EHS football placyers and coachs will testify ary landed in the end zone, the Coach wells ref. ruled he didnit. The attempt had failed, and EHS lost2l-20. Perhaps this was the most bitter defeat of the year. A team that could easily have gone 6-3 ended up 3-6. Chris Moersch re- cieved the final Player of the Game award. Chris recieved a greater honor when he was named the first team All Serra League and Second team laurels went to Geb Church, Da 1 e Magner, and Bob Sweatt.
