The Varsity football team xen- joyed its best season in years. he Hawks rolled through the pre- season beating crosstown rival Va- lencia 10-6. When asked about the Valencia game, Wide Receiver Chris Fa- cione said it was his favorite game because 'tof how we got together as a team and showed people we were for real. I liked the determination and enthusiasm showed during the game. Most of the players agreed this was the highpoint of the sea- son. Scott Sporrer said The whole team was pumped up for the game because they are our crosstown rivals. Va1encia's plan was running but the defense dominated, the runners came and we stopped them. The Hawks continued to blow through the preseason going 5-0 and entering league ranked eighth by the LA Times. In the first league game the Hawks tied Katella 13-13 and seemed to lose some of the enthusiasm they showed in the pre- season. When asked if the team's attitude contributed to the season's results, quar- terback Kevin Schula said, Yes, especially in league. We thought the teams were go- ing to be easier than they were. It was a tougher league than we thought. And tougher it would get. The Hawks ended up 1-3-1 in league. The last game of the year against arch-rival Esperanza would deter- mine whether the Hawks would go to CIF. In the closest game of the year, the Hawks lost a heartbreaker 23-21, thus ending the season. Coach Carl Sweet said, The team played very well and it was a good season. I was happy with the players performance. The team played with enthusiasm. Chris Fa- cione said, I thought our team was a lot better than our record showed. Although the team did not reach CIF, they played the best football of any Hawk team in years and hopefully next season will be as exciting as this years was. 9 Head Coach Carl Sweet watches the action from the sidelines. Coach Sweet attributed much of the teams success to the hard work of the players. Senior Running back Chris Olsen turns the corner on another defender and scores the touchdown. Varsity Football
