The Hawks learned quickly, evi- denced by their performances on the mat. Each one of them had to go out and wrestle every match offensively. This was the main goal of each of the FroshfSoph wrestlers. Having this in mind, the FroshfSoph team finished first in Empire League. They ended up with a record of four wins and one loss. The team had the potential to succeed, and they did just that. Getting along with all of the other members on the team was very important to everyone. They offered mutual support as well as being friends. The team had a very positive attitude which helped them to their victories. All of these qualities were key ingredients to their successful sea SOI'l.

' Charlie was right. The Boys' Var- sity Basketball team had an unex- pected winning season. Coached by Wane Carlson, the Hawks were determined and ready to go from the start. I was very pleased with their performance and with their intensity and ability to play hardf commented Coach Carlson. Over Christmas vacation, the El Dorado Co-Ed Classic was held over a period of four days. After winning three out of three games, our Varsity team captured the first place title. Additional awards I were given to Chris Facione, who was named MVP of the tourna- ment, and Mike Renaud, who re- ceived the All Tournament Team award. This tournament win built up the teams confidence and made Mr. Carlson one satisfied coach, The Hawks' overall record was 12- 10. Senior Chris Facione comment- , ed, I think our record didn't indi- cate how good our team really was. We were a small team with a I new coach, but working together helped us to accomplish our goal of making the playoffs. Several games were very close as four of them ended in overtime, and four of them were won or lost by one or two points. The Hawks' toughest opponents included Los Al, Dow- ney, and Woodbridge. The Hawks defeated the Esperanza Aztecs to- wards the end of the season, which moved them into the CIF playoffs, The final game for the Hawks was against Bonita. El Dor- ado lost 80 to 83 in the last sec- onds of the game. But many of the team players were pleased with their chance to play in CIF play- offs, as senior Mike Brooks said, I think that our season was very successful, being that we achieved most of our goals and got a spot in the CIF playoffs.
