A Season To Remember A mat ' s win over Mary Star, 14- O sounded the start of an elec- trifying; season, one that would carrv them to the very f;ates of the C.I.F. playoffs. The team had beat the odds and came out of the flames with an Angelus League 3rd place. Preparing for the season in- volved a lot of hard work. In the opinion of the team, Patri- cio is a great coach. To many players, he was more like a Dad. When he .spoke — you lis- tened. To the team, if the play- ers weren ' t a family, then it wouldn ' t work. Head to head contact is the greatest feeling. explains John Martinez, reflecting over the season. The Lancers over- all record was 8-3, 3 and 2 league. A mat had lost at the hands of the Servite Friars 36-0 in a debacle at the Santa Ana Bowl. Amat lost a heartbreaker to MatC-r Dei and Lakewood, loosing each within a field goal of victory. The St. Paul game made it all; the whole season, Mike Kega- lado said reflecting on A mat ' s upset of our chief rival. The St. Paul game was a classic in the history of Amat. Amat ' s victory not only secured a C.I.F. playoff birth with a 3rd place in the Angelus League, but signaled an end to the St. Paul ' s reign of terror over Amat. The game was a sea saw battle, Amat striking twice, a Mike Frescas field goal and a Jeff Mack touchdown making the score 10-0. But the half ended up at 10-7 as St. Paul rallied back from their trailing position. Through the second half Amat held the ini- tiative, and left no St. Paul score unanswered, ending the game at 23-21. 19S2 will be a year to remem- ber for those who played and those who watched from the stands. Records were set, friendships were made and school tradition was enhanced. (Left) Pop goes ihc wenlc, Mike Vrmsic Fm- Its lies J CIF record for most lonsecuine PAT% ti U.
