F rosh-Soph Football The Frosh-Soph football ream started a new tradition at Gunn High School this year. They had a winning season. The ream is ranked third in the league. They had a chance at first place but lost their games to Paly and Santa Clara. The games were close, but our Frosh-Soph team gave it their all. The team this year has two new coaches, Norm Air- oldi, and Chevy Eusebio. The ream memf bers felt that the coaches pushed them hard and that it was all worth it. The encourage- ment from the students and faculty was much appreciated by the team. The team began their practices early this year and were prepared for a hard working season. The teams winning season is partly credited ro the coaches a few of the team members said. The team worked as a whole this year and had a lot of team spirit among them- selves. The team felt very satisfied by the results of their season and felt that they were betrer prepared to face next year's football season.
