ViHson wcfes OI J QjjteJi an •v. ••. EXCEPTIONAL COMEBACK • A fter what may have seemed r to be the start of a poor S I season, the Wilson Football Team made an exceptional come- back into league competition. The team finished with a 5-6 record, bringing it to a three way tie for sec- ond place in the Sierra League. The season opened with five con- secutive losses, including our Home- coming against Rowland. With a vic- tory over Charter Oak, the team began a five game winning streak. After we were 0-5, we could have started bailing out, but the kids really hung in there. We bounced back against Charter Oak and won . . . said Coach Merrill. The Wilson Los Altos game has traditionally been a battle of rivals. After battling against the traditionally superior L.A. team, the Wildcat squad prevailed and not only won the game and the prized wheel, but shut L.A. out, 7-0. Victory after victory soon fell to the team, including those against West Covina, Diamond Bar, and Nogales. With these victories the Wild- cats earned a spot in the C.I.F. pre- liminaries against El Rancho. Although the team seemed to dom- inate the game in the first half, it soon fell to the hands of the El Rancho squad. The game was a loss at 27-6, but the fact that the team made the play-offs was a victory in itself. With a successful season over, the Wildcat team has a bright future ahead. With 18 eligible lettermen returning next year, a team of equal or greater caliber is inevitable. As Coach Merrill stated, It all depends on how hard the kids want to work over the off season.
