Sophomores And Freshmen Make Big Splash The Sophomore Water Polo team gave its Sunset league competitors an- other challenging season with a record of 3-2. The season was highlighted with the Chargers narrow loss to the Fountain Valley Barons. Captain Kevin Rudd lead the team with 25 goals and 15 defensive steals for the season. Pat Sutton, named Most Valuable Player, led the team with 15 assists and 18 goalie saves. Kevin Rudd and Pat Sutton were also named to the First All-Sunset League team. Gary McCartney and Jon Wood were named to the second team. Most Improved Player Jim English and Lance Layral also were a great asset to the team. Though the freshman did not win a league game this year, they did prove to be a great help to the sophomores in non-league games (record of 6-8). Four games were narrow losses by one point. Most Valuable Player, David Wad- leigh lead the team with 12 defensive steals and Captain Jeff Wheeler came next in line with six. Most Improved Player Craig Pepper had the season high score of four goals.

Varsity Penetrates Deep Into CIF Playoffs The Varsity basketball team won their tirst two CIF playoff games in their history before falling to unbeaten and number one ranl ed San Marcos in the quarter-finals. Richard Chang and Rick Dibernardo teamed up to lead the junior oriented squad to second place in Sunset League with a 6-4 record. To compli- ment the excellent offensive unit, they also had a stern, menacing defense led by Darren Moore. Mark Goudge, Jeff Stephens, and Bill Vogelsang were the other starters that contributed greatly to the Charger victories. Rich Romeo, Ken Major, Mike Dibernardo, and Jim Barone each came off the bench to aid the starters. Nobody expected them to win their first two playoff games, but the in- spired Chargers proved them wrong. The first upset victim was Compton, as the Chargers came away with a 48-47 overtime victory. Notre Dame was the next challenge and the Chargers re- sponded with another one point victo- ry, 57-56. Highly favored San Marcos came to Huntington Beach and early in the game looked like another upset was in the making. The game was tied at halftime, 33 all, and the Chargers lead by as much as six points in the third quarter. But fate would not allow the Chargers to upset the Royals. The San Marcos press became too much for the Chargers and the Royals stormed back to win 72-66, in what one student said was, the most excit- ing high school basketball game I ' ve ever seen.
