nforgettable Season The Mariners surprised everyone, in- cluding the coaches, by overpowering NMC, Santa Cruz, and SLV and captur- ing their 2nd straight Jamboree title. The pre-season looked promising for Aptos, shutting out Blackford 21-O, but injuries to Kevin Pedemonte, Dan Watson, and Mark Clifton, dampened Mariner chances for league. With one game left, Aptos got a much needed win, beating Fremont 14-0. Mariners luck ran out as they were shut out by NMC. But the Mariners bounced back to beat Harbor 21-6. The Mariners then suffered three hearbreaking losses to SLV, Santa Cruz and Soquel to end the season. The defense was led by senior defen- sive end Jamie O'Mahony and junior linebacker Grant Pudgy Smith. The of- fense was led by senior running backs Mike Munoz and Brent Pierce. Chris Howells, Nick Anderson, and Bret Bivins were also offensive standouts. Mike To- tah was the most impressive quarterback until a neck injury made him unable to play. Juniors Mike Pace and Eric Ew- banks took over the slot left by Totah. The Mariners only named two players to the all league and all county teams, Mike Munoz and Jamie O'Mahony, who also earned the Golden Helmet Award for 1983. 4, Tom Newton tum on the after burners against a stunned Santa Cruz defense. 5.
