On Wednesday, May 16, parents, students, and administrators once again gathered to honor the S.L.H.S. athletes. Following a sumptuous banquet, the awards ceremonies began, with each coach presenting his team's recipients of the Most Improved, Most Inspirational, and Most Valuable Player Awards. A look at the M.V.P. winners indicates the extremely high caliber of athletes at San Leandro this year. Football chose their team leader, the man who led them to the No. 2 position in Eastbay rankings, Steve Andrade. In Cross Country there was only one choice, the runner who ripped apart every field he ran against, Tom Freitas. Basketball chose the omnipresent Dean Stahowski, the giant who dominated play at both ends of the court. Wrestling opted for Len Pristia whose sensational victory string saved many meets. Golf had Tom McElhatton, considered by many the best ever to play at San Leandro High. Tennis chose its North Coast Champion, Greg Dix. Swimming honored the clutch performer, Pete Skoglund, Baseball chose T.O.C. all-star, Steve Lubratich. Track named the first Pirate ever to win at A.C.A.L., North Coast, and Division 1, Don Woolley. Woolley was also presented with this year's Edgar Cerf Memorial Award. The Outstanding Athlete Award is San Leandro High's most prestigious sports award, and this year it was' given to 3-sport Ietterman, Joe Collier. Collier excelled in football, basketball, and baseball. The old axiom says, save the best for last , and so the presentation to Joe concluded a very important night for S.L.H.S. in 1973.
