The coaches are also helping the freshmen keep the Mus- tang winning tradition alive. This season's starters consisted mostly of returning players, but had a few fresh frosh faces. The starters were Chad Vial, Greg Ortiz, Curtis LaBay, Jerome Salisbury, Jim Hicks, Charley Ku, Mike DeGroot, Doug Kramer and Isaac Faris. The J.V.
