Puyol earns | league honors Although this year’s varsity basketball squad was very young and inexperienced, as the sea- son progressed a strong defensive team emerged from the practice and hard work. The season ended on a high note when the Lancers scored a 35-25 victory over arch rival Hawthorne. Their 4-6 league record earned Lennox a fourth place spot in the final Pioneer League standings. Seniors who played a big part in the season’s competition were forwards Jana Butts and Maria Kosmetatos and guard Oraida Alfonso. Strength and size were added by juniors Tammy Puyol, who was named to the first team All- League, and Ardis Carnes, guard. Sophomores Hettie Price and Barbara Rodri- guez gained experience playing the tight ‘‘press’’ guard positions. The only freshman on the team achieved distinction by copping a place on the second team All-League. ae; ended — y ra I , 36 Basketball Sponsored by D‘ FRANCES SPORTSWEAR—MANUFACTURING 11011 Hawthorne Blvd. Inglewood, CA Telephone: 674-6363 GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL-—Seated: Jana Butts, Coach King, Barbara Rodriguez.

Young players display courage ‘4 2 Testes ad ¥ ia 45 “4 o ih Pec A young but enthusiastic JV soccer team that never gave up posted a very respectable season record of five wins, four losses, and two tie games. The junior booters displayed their come- from-behind spirit of determination in the final game against Inglewood. With 10 minutes left to play, trailing 1-3, the JV’s pressed on to end with a 3-3 tie. Among the outstanding players was Guillermo Quant, who gave mobility to the forward line and assisted in many goals. Arturo Valenzuela was a key player in the midfield, providing strong help for the forward line; and Carlos Gonzales showed his potential of becoming a top flight center fullback. Stated Coach Jose Gutierrez, ‘‘I was very happy to coach this team, and it was a satis- faction to see them try so hard to win.” 1. Fullback Carlos Gonzales heads the ball upfield to his Lancer teammate. 2. Arturo Valenzuela had an outstanding season as a key figure in the Lancer first line defense. 3. Victor Ramos gets the ball off before his Lawndale oppo- nent can make the tackle. 1979-80 JV SOCCER TEAM— Front row: Roberto Ramirez, Guillermo Quant, Efrain Barba, Jose A. Mota, Victor Ramos.
