AZTECS BRE K RECGRDS The l986 varsity football team was noted for its great blocking offensive line and solid defense along with a great running back. These factors all contributed to the final league standings that ranked Esperanza in third place among tough Empire League competitors. Not only did the team achieve an admirable league standing, but two of the players broke school records. Mike Miscione set the new rushing record of 76 Varsity Football I,955 yards, previously held by l985 graduate Jim Farrell who rushed for I,85O yards. Don Her- rick set a new record for average yards per catch with a 37.l yard average overcoming former re- cord holder Kevin Oleson's I982 record of 36.4 yards. The teams biggest thrill was beating long-time rival El Dor- ado. Another thrill was the Az- tec's first round CIF playoff vic- tory over Santa Monica. Award winning players were Mike Miscione, who received All League MVP, All County, and All CIF honorsg James Rae, who was named All League, All County. and All CIF, and Greg Roseen who was also named All League and All County. All League awards were given to Toby Kirchke, Robert Conner, Don Herrick, Mike Moneymaker, Brant McCullough, Dean Sage, and Rick Lane.
