FROSH-SOPH BASKETBALL—Kneeling: Pat Gray, Allan Sarnowski, Victor Rivera, Robert Hall, Leonard Trujillo. Standing: Coach Siegal, Jerome Bell, Wesley Russell, Barrett Miller, Alfonso Cameron, Michael Winbush, Octavius Knox, Albert Hawkins, Sean Allen, Marvin Gray. Frosh-Soph nab 2nd place honors New faces were the key to a successful Frosh-Soph basketball season. Coach Marty Siegal and players Wes- ley Russell, Jerome Bell, and Barrett Miller were the new blood in a fine motion offense and over-all balanced | attack that resulted in a second place standing in league competition. Looking back over the 10-4 season record, Coach Sie- gal commented, “I thought our size would hurt us, but our quickness more than made up for it.”’ One of the season’s highlights was the exciting win over Harvard, when the Lancers sank two free throws in the last seconds of play to edge out their Opponents and take the important victory. Strong all-around performers for the Lancer young- sters were Pat Gray, defense; Alfonso Cameron, shoot- ing; Allan Sarnowski, defense and number of Steals; and Octavius Knox, rebounds. 1.

Varsity booters just miss CIF The varsity booters entered league play with hopes of making the CIF play-offs. Despite impressive victories over Lawndale and Morningside, the Lancers dropped close contests to powerful opponents Hawthorne, Avia- tion, and Culver City. Their CIF hopes were kept alive until the final game of the season against the Inglewood Sentinels, which the locals lost 2-0. Although the team failed in its bid for a CIF berth, the players made an outstanding effort to win and showed steady improvement as the season progressed. Jesse Diaz was a consistent player on defense, while Luis De la Pena and Jorge Carrera contributed strength in the halfback spots. The fantastic speed of forward Javier Luna combined with the work of talented midfiel- der Sergio Yepez and the scoring punch of Daniel Velaz- quez to make the Lancers a colorful team to watch in action. Proud Lancers who gained All-League honors were Jesse Diaz and Sergio Yepez, named to the first team; and Daniel Velazquez, Jorge Carrera, and Jonathan Cor- tes, second team selections. ee et be 1.
