Vo rsity Soccer: Future Contenders The 1980-81 Bosco Soccer team was one of youth, speed and heart. The Braves proved themselves in Pre- League competition by beating some of Southern Cali- fornia's finest soccer teams inc uding a tough Hunting- ton Beach team 1-0. The Del Rey League proved itself to be as awesome as ever. After getting off to a slow start, Bosco came on strong with a second round victory over CIF-ranked Crespi 2-1. The Braves fell into third place and were denied a playoff berth because of a loss to Notre Dame who also tied for the third slot. Three year All-Leafuer Jeff Simonton led the Braves with the surest bit o goal tending in the league. J eff's leadership and dedication was matched by Senior full- back Chns Gatica who was also named to the Del Rey League first team. Brendan Qui ley and Rudy Guzman rounded out the senior starters. Sophomore Bob Urbany and junior Robert La Freniere were two other Del Rey standouts so honored by the league. The Braves although young proved themselves to be a contender in ears to come. Y 1.
