Freshmen- Seaview Champs The Freshmen football team this year did ex- tremely well. Their record was 9-1 losing only to Corona Del Mar High School. Estancia, Corona Del Mar, and Saddleback High Schools ' freshmen teams all ended up 9-1 finishing the season with a three way tie for first place. Coach Ferry was very happy with the team ' s successful season and is sure that next year ' s team will do just as well. How does it feel to play on such a successful team? Well, ac- cording to defensive player Jon Taylor, ' It felt great! The more the team won, the harder we played. And that ' s just what they did. This year ' s team was consid- ered to be one of the best teams that Estancia has seen. They were also considered to be one of the best teams in the league. The team ' s nick name was the Eagle Express and the name fit them perfectly. Leading the Eagle Express to victory after vic- tory were Quarterback Danny Ucker along with Jesse Casan- ova, Len Herman, Dan Petrone and Oliver Wright. ' The out- standing offensive line is the main reason why the team did so well, explained Coach Art Perry. On defense they had outstand- ing leadership from players John Taylor, Quan Martinez, Jaime Rask, Larry Michleson, Jason Armstrong and Ty Hilbrook. This year ' s all around most outstanding players were Josh Wojtkiewicz, Kevin Thomse, and Gary Burros. Varsity Football.

Great Guys ' V M JTe were a young ■ IMI team this year. W If There were no seniors on the team and most of us were freshmen, Devin Bowen said. The team was young; the star doubles team was two juniors, Brett Moody and Richard Quirk. There were more freshm en on the team this year than there have been for many years. The team started at the be- ginning of the year, while the girls were still practicing. The team started out with pre-sea- son tennis. Pre-season tennis was just conditioning. They stretched for about fifteen minutes and then they ran pe- rimeters until three o ' clock in the afternoon. Later, after the girls started to move off of the courts, they did drills some days and ran other days. When second semester start- ed, they set up a round robin and started establishing a ladder for the three teams. When Darren Levine was asked why he joined tennis, he said, I joined because it ' s a fun sport to play and the matches are great. Let me tell you about the guys; they ' re the best. Darren continued, Mike Studebaker, he ' s really good. He ' s our number one singles player. Rich Quirk is our tennis captain. He leads us in stretching, running, and drills. You just kinda look up to him. He plays number one doubles with Brett Moody. Ken Owada, now there ' s a funny guy. He doesn ' t play the game as a competitive sport, but as a sort of enter- tainment. He ' s a real good friend to everyone. In short, it ' s not just a game, it ' s an adventure. Coach Jenner is very seri- ous about his team, he hopes that in the next few years, they will grow and gain exper- ience. If they do, he says, no one will be able to stop us. 134 Sports
