Three Point Players The 1986-67 Varsity Doskerboll Team hod Q greor year, going 10-4 in league, 17-7 overall. This record was good enough to place rhird in rhe S.A.L. and also to advonce to the C.I.F. play-offs. We hod o few problems at first, but we put it together in the second half of the season, stoted Junior Kevin Sweet. Melvin Love was the scoring leader on the team this year, averaging 28.7 points per game, second highest in 2A schools. Most teoms found out that Melvin wos the man they hod to stop. Son Bernardino put three men ogoinst him ond he still scored 26 points. I just told them to give me ' The Rock ' (Basketball) and they did, quipped Melvin Love. The 6 ' 5 center won recognition in the Inland Empire by gaining one of the The Sun ' s prep othletes of the week. After that, many scouts from mojor colleges found on in- terest in him. In the beginning of the yeor, Cooch Mark Lehman hod only about six weeks to prepare his team for the upcoming season. Most players were eager to stort the season; looking forward to the play-offs. Even though they only hod o few weeks before their first gome, they worked very hard in practice in order to obtain rhe high quality club thot they become. The season come down to one gome, against Son Bernordino. If we lost, we would end the season in third place. But if we won, we would take first place. The gome was close, but Berdoo unfortunotely won, 70-64. Even though we come in third this year, we hod Q great season to be proud of. i (Top Right:) Melvin Love skies above the fest to score two mote points for the Cowboys.
