This 1972-73 year marked only the second competetive season for the North High Soccer team. The young Varsity team finished fourth out of the entire Bay League. The relatively inexperienced team proved their skills when they pulled off a sur- prising upset against top-rated South High. The head coach was Mr. Lynn Brooks and working along side him was Mr. Ditter Schultz. Among some of the outstanding Varsity players were Walt Leisner, Mike Tomich, and Paul Lewis. The Junior Varsity was also coached by Mr. Brooks and finished the season in third place. Some of the outstanding members of this team included Earl Hon, Stu- art Mitchell and Randy Lawrence. Both of these teams showed a prom- ising future for the NHS Soccor League. ROW 1; Coach Lynn Brooks. Coach Ditter Schultz ROW 2: Danny Archuleta.
