Sharp-shooting guard Ernie Martin and center Matt O'Brien paced the squad throughout the season. Martin came through especially in the pros- sure games with Lompoc. The Cabrillo club won both contests by identical 46-36 scores to gain revenge for on earlier loss to cross- town rivals. Martin scored 19 points and forward Ron Brazee notched 'I4 in the first win over Lompoc. Martin then enioyed his best per- formance of the year in the final meeting with the Bravelets as he pumped through 24 points, including 10 of 1'O from the free throw line. O'Brien totaled his season high of 16 points twice, in losing efforts against Righetti and Santa Maria. 105

Santa Maria RECORD: 6-12 Strong victories Round out year Putting some life into what was otherwise a disap- pointing season, the iunior varsity basketball squad rolled to decisive victories in its final two contests to round out the season with a 6-12 record. The iayvees combined all their best talents to form a cohesive unit to finish the year with a 50-41 vic- tory over Lompoc, ond a 68-58 decision over the Santa Maria iunior varsity. Forward Tim Vivian played his finest game of the year to lead the squad over Lompoc. Vivian poured through 16 points and along with Dallas Britton con- trolled the boards for the Conquistadores. Gary Facer added 13 points, and guard Al Kitching scored 11 in the victory. Vivian's twin brother Kim took over in the final game as he ripped for 20 points to spark the con- quest of Santa Maria. Britton and Morris Henson contributed to the win with 12 and 10 paints, re- spectively. If the final surge at the end of the season is any indication, the iunior varsity will be sending some capable talent to the varsity squad for its 1968-69 campaign.

Win Over Righetti Sparks Wrestlers AZ'-Q., I The biggest season in the history of the Cabrillo High School wrestling team got off to a rather slow start. After losing their first four meets, the team rolled to a 36-I6 defeat of Santa Ynez. Highlighting the season was the first varsity league win ever. Led by the efforts of Dave Brown and Mike Denne, the matmen defeated Righetti by a score of 29-24 in one of the most exciting wrestling matches ever to take place at Cabrillo. Coach David Long felt that they accomplished quite a bit by tying for third place in the league standings, and placing four boys in the CIF prelims. These people, Dave Brown, Dave Patterson, Mike Denne, and Tom Von Ins earned the right to go on by placing at least second in the Santa Barbara League Championships. Coach Long went on to say that we had a fine young team that should come along rather well in the future. Meanwhile CabriIIo's youngest wrestlers, the freshman squad rolled to the finest record of the year as they chalkecl up a 6-3 mark. Don Willis, Calvin Riley and Steve Miller paced the squad with outstanding performances throughout the year. Heavyweight Mike Denne gets secure grip on foe.
