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.

Photo by Alex •J ••% • ♦•- •!•. ••A FRUITLESS SEASON The Junior Varsity Football Team had a successful year, consid- ering the fact that it lacked ex- perienced players. With departure of many of last year ' s players to the Var- sity team, the J.V. squad began the 1988 season with three consecutive wins against Bell Gardens, Don Lugo, and Schurr, but the winds of victory soon changed as the league games be- gan. After suffering losses against Ro- wland and Baldwin Park, the J.V. Foot- ball Team prevailed once again with a victory over Charter Oak. From that point the season deteriorated for the J.V. team with one loss after another. Though the season was undoubtably not one of the team ' s best, it served to lay down valuable experience for future use. The Frosh Football Team trudged through a tough season. The inexpe- rienced Cats fell into the the hands of defeat and experience a fruitless sea- son. In the end the team finished 0-9. Though the season was a tough one and probably the first for many of the members on the squad, their efforts were commendable. by Juan Cueva ■T o £ 9. £.
