AZTECS PLACE FIFTH I LE GLIE This year the Boys Varsity Bas- ketball team completed their season with a 5 and 9 record which placed them fifth in their league. The Aztecs showed ex- ceptional talent with Ross Har- vey and Rob Nay recognized as the team leaders and Most Valu- able Players. The team's record was affected by the inexperience of their younger players. As 98 Boy s Varsity Basketball Coach Kurt Kersten said, A poor field goal percentage placed a heavy priority on good shot selection with this group. M.V.P. Rob Nay was one of the leading performers on the team. He established a new record in the rebounding section, averag- ing 8 or more a game. He assist- ed in the win over Katella in the closing seconds. The defeat of Katella was the team's biggest thrill. Another thrill was beating the Aztecs rival, El Dorado. The most disappointing game was the game lost to Pacifica by one basket in overtime. Ross Harvey was voted into All Tourney Can- yon and will most likely be voted All County second team.

.V.S TIE FOR 3RD This year the boys' .l.V. Bas- ketball Team completed the sea- son in a tie for third place with Katella. Both teams finished 9 and 5 in league, but the Aztecs had a I2 and IO record over-all. The team's record was attributed to pulling together and working as a disciplined team, as com- pared to five individuals. The team was led by junior Co-Cap- tain Mark Morris, junior Co-Cap- tain Mark Santoro, and junior Gary Brushwyler. Morris led the team in scoring and rebounding,1 and was also named the team's Most Valuable Player. Santoro was responsible for setting and running the team on the floor as point guard, while Brushwyler led the team with his quickness and jumping abilities. All in all the team was a talented group of young men who had their ups and downs, but could accom- plish anything that they really set their minds and abilities to, stated Shellmen.
