Narrowly Missed Although the 1973 swim team was probably the youngest in Pirate history, they narrowly missed the A.C.A.L. title, and the swimmers also foreshadowed coming greatness. The young Pirates, led by M.V.P. Pete Skoglund in the freestyle, Verne Person in the butterfly, Rich Reed in the individual medley, Kelly N9 in the breaststroke, and Mike Raab in diving, imparted fear into teams throughout the Bay Area. Despite all their exuberance and determination they could not win the one that counted most. In the A.C.A.L. finals the young Pirates, led by John Kirby's strong third place finish in the freestyle, made a gallant bid for the title, but slowly succumbed to the more experienced veterans of the league. The Pirates had it all this year: speed, strength, endurance, precision, and above all, real class.

Amazing Comeback The 1973 Golf team predicted to finish second in league, was greatly reduced in size early in the season by injuries and transfers. The squad was determined to give Coach Hager a winning season in his final year, despite this. Therefore, the team was rebuilt around the school's three superstars: Tom McElhatton, Jeff Dennis, and Rich Jensen, An intensive recruiting program was started, and soon the team was defeating the league's best. With superb late season performances by Ron Massaglia, Ken Sparaco, and Len Winkler, the team made an amazing comeback in the A.C.A.L. finals. Although they failed to win it, the golfers turned in another admirable performance for San Leandro High School. LeftAleff Dennis puttin g for a birdie.
