Varsity Football Steamrolls Way To Leagu 'We picked up right where we left off our IV year.' -Mark Senter The ball is hiked. The linemen surge forward. The secondary drops back. The quarterback releases the pass. The Charger corners see it coming. The receiver goes up for the ball, but so do the two defensive players. Leaping to the ball, the receiver catches it, but, before he hits the ground, he's hit in mid-air by the two defenders. The ball is jarred loose. The pass is incomplete. This is a typical example of how effective the Charger defense was. Led by such players as David Breuninger, lon Tattersall, and Carrick O'Quinn, the Charger defense was the strength of the team, seven times holding opposing offenses to under fourteen points. Although Breuninger made All- Valley and was voted most valuable defensive player, he was not the only defensive star. Tatter- sall also made first team on CIF as did defensive linemen Paul Berry and Ed Mangola. O'Quinn re- presented the Agoura linebackers by making first team and Mike Armstrong was named to the first team as a defensive back. Making second team were defensive linemen Gary Moreno and Ryan Dietz, with Aixa Wilson making second team as a defensive back. The Charger offense played well, also, scoring fourteen points or more on seven occasions. Run- ning backs Dave Friedl and Doug Hastings were largely responsible for this success. These two players made first and second team, respectively. The offense was further supported by a good kicking game led by kicker Mark Senter, who made All-CIF first team and kicked a record- breaking forty-seven yard field goal. Senter later kicked another field goal of the same distance. Coach Greminger, however, felt the strength of the offense was really in the offensive line. With center Tommy Kim 12nd teamj, offensive lineman john Heeber fist teaml and Tattersall and Breun- inger as offensive tackle and guard, the Agoura offense was able to control the line of scrimmage much of the time. Although they lacked great speed and were emo- tionally inconsistent, the Chargers got pumped at the right times and won the Frontier League Championship. After their loss to Atascadero dur- ing CIF play-offs, Head Coach Greminger felt that his team had much to be proud of: l am real pleased, they came a long way. They played to their potential and did what was asked of them. ln short, this year's Varsity team excelled, giving AHS one of its best season in several years. -john Kelley YNY Top Row: P. Berry, R.

Victory Now and in the Future 'We played as a teamg the guys gave as much as they could. - Jamie Osbrink runts sound, muscles strain, and pain courses through the bodies of all. But the Coyotes are overwhelmed. Touchdown!! With such aggression, the 1987 junior Varsity Football team had an explosive offense. Running back David Caramanis accumulated almost 1800 yards rushing. The offensive line contributed a great deal to this total with guards Travis Gepson and john Lakotas, and tackle Mike Cavalier consis- tently controlling the line of scrimmage. The of- fense was strengthened further by quarterback josh Smaler, wide receiver Greg Ochoa, and run- ning back Todd Cribari. Besides having a superior offense, the defense was exceptional as well. The defense was hard-hitting, possibly as Coach Crow stated, the best group of tacklers he's ever had. Defensive stars Matt Curie and Sean McGrath led the defense, shutting out opposing teams twice. This combination of offense and defense, as well as their burning desire to win, was responsible for the team's league championship. The Frosh Football team had an impressive season as well, winning league. Surprisingly, the team was composed largely of players who had never played organized football. However, with an in- terest and ability to learn, the young athletes quickly became excellent, with players like run- ning back Rich lacobellis and linebackers Chris Bluth and Dylan jones responsible for the winning season. Both junior Varsity and Frosh teams promise to get much better in the next two years. Coach Crow felt that the team will be an outstanding one, as the junior Varsity already is. In retro- spect, Crow stated that he really enjoyed the team. They have a lot of talent, and they worked really, really hard.
