Football Yields Unpredictable Season Bonita Vista football was hampered by the loss of several coaches and most of the starting players from last year. The team began slowly in the new 3A league CMesaJ, winning its first league game against Mont- gomery six weeks into the season. The team's next league game was against Hilltop at their homecoming. The game was tied, and Bonita had to beat Sweetwater, who was undefeated, to go to the playoffs. Sweetwater was first in the league in both offense and defense, and ranked third Fi in the county overall. However, Bonita stunned them with an upset: they tied, 15- 15. But this was not enough to go to CIFQ Bonita remained third in the league. We had tied both the first and second place teams in the league, and had we beaten either one of them, the team would have gone to CIF. In the Sweetwater game the team dem onstrated their true winning style, class and sportsmanship. This attitude was pre sent in all Baron sportsg football was no exception. 1981 Varsity Football Barons Opponents O 14 6 28 6 9 19 15 9 0 Granite Hills Castle Park Southwest Coronado Mar Vista Montgomery Hilltop Chula Vista Sweetwater Marian Season Record 3 5 2 Clockwise from upper left: Jaime Devera sprints through the secondary.

...qi alfa. G R The Girls' Varsity Volleyball Team was an outstanding example of Baron Pride. The team finished with a very strong sea- son, won the Mesa title, and then advanced to the CIF finals. The team had a slow start, winning only two of its first six games. By the time the league matches came up, however, the players had unified, and they won the next ten matches. They won all their league matches, and consequently earned the Mesa league championship. The team advanced to CIF playoffs, and beat Patrick Henry and Valhalla in the first two rounds. The final match, to determine the CIF 3A Championship, was played at UCSD against Torrey Pines. The girls lost the first game, and were behind, 13-14, in the second game. The serve changed sides nine times in a row, with neither side scor- ing. Finally. Torrey Pines scored the last point, and the Barons emerged second in the county. The seven returning seniors provided the team with experience. The Most Valuable Player was Anna Sanchez, who was voted the Most Valuable Player of the entire Mesa League. Anna also made the All-Cl F first team. - 1 - Special recognition is in order for Ms. Jan Kimball. the dedicated coach of the volleyball team. Without her expen guidance thc winning tradition at BV would not continue. I I -Q
