I play on the team after school to help me improve for next season, said Al- faro. He is one of the top scorers on the Cougars as well as on the Aztec team.

Soccer gets slow start Frosh Soph goes Io-4 Not until mid-season after a loss to Cypress, did the Varsity Men's Soccer Team begin to gain momentum. From that loss to Cypress they went on to a three game winning streak defeating Los Alamitos, Pacifica and cross town rival El Dorado. Their next opponent, Katella, brought their winning streak to a stop. Ramiro Alfaro was selected as the team's Most Valuable Player. Alfaro was also the teamis leading scorer with nine goals. The Varsity team was coached by Larry Duncan. Of all three levels, Varsity, JV and FroshfSoph, the JV team had the worst record. They only won three of their fourteen games. Duncan, who also coached the JV team, commented that the players had made a tremendous effort but were over- matched. The team's most outstanding players were Aaron Cohick and Danny Venegas, who were named co-MVP's. With ten wins and four losses the FroshfSoph team, coached by Bob Lewis, had a most impressive season. The Aztecs topped off the season with a shocking win over Cypress with a I4-O shut- out. Lewis commented that the team's success was a direct result of the team's enthusiasm and spirit. 1. Freshman Joe Aparro shoots the ball downfield during a game against Katella.

Along with this champion- ship, Hyde also placed first in the grueling Canyon as well as the Bonita Tournaments and took third in the Brea Tournament. Hyde was influenced into wrestling by his brother. He always used to beat me up with wrestling so I decided to get into it and learn some of his moves, explained Hyde. Hyde went on to say, . . . the biggest achievement was the league champ for the I 38 pounders. It,s the thing that will stand out the most. I couldn't have done it without Mr. Stout. He taught me everything I know. Hyde also went to CIF in his sophomore year placing second in league. Overall wrestling was the best, but I hated trying to make weight every week.
