As the preseason ended, hopes of a successful season were on every player ' s mind. Following the Redon- do-P.V. Tournament, the Colts opened up league play against the Gardena Mohicans. Bouncing back from their preseason losses, they pounded the Mohicans, 8-1; With good teams such as Narbonne and San Pedro and always tough Banning still to play. The Colts are very en- thusiastic about their chances of be- coming League Champs.

WE HIT ' EM HARDER! The J. V. ' s returned from a fair 1983 season, in which they placed 3rd in league behind Banning and San Pe- dro. In the 1984 preseason games, the young Colts showed their talent in tne Redondo-Palos Verdes Tour- nament with an opening round win against host team Palos Verdes, 7-5. Unfortunately, the following week they lost to a very good West Tor- rance High team (5-3) and Palos Verdes II (4-3). Hang in there, Colts. The Junior Varsity baseball team is very young this year consisting of 11 sophomores and 6 juniors. Out of the six junior players, four are re- turnees from last year ' s J.V. ' s. They are Tom Pickle, Steve Ichiho, Caesar Delgado, and Kevin Welch. The oth- er two juniors are Tony Lopez and Gilbert Ortega. These players should bring experience and leadership to this talented and young team.

TAKING IT IN STRIDE This year ' s Boys ' Varsity Cross Country Team (led by Capt. Elbert Buddy Twist and Coached by W. Mocnik) placed 2nd in the Marine League. Buddy, a hard-working ath- lete, is among the top three milers in the Los Angeles area. Twist is a dedicated worker, and gives cross country his all. Also supporting the Colts in their victory, were Angelo Schmidt and Carlos Linares. The J.V. team, with standouts Jose Martinez and Michael Walker, also placed 2nd in Marine League. They lost only to San Pedro. Doing well for an inexperienced group, the Girls ' Varsity Team placed 4th in Marine League. Although this young team did not do as well as they had hoped, their Colt pride never faded. Sophomore Irma Duran was a great inspiration to her team- mates. The Sophomore Team ' s league re- cord of 2-14 gave the young Colts 4th place in the Marine League. Their wins were against Gardena and Locke High Schools. Jose Linares and Joey Sablan aided this young Colt team to victory. I Boys ' Varsity (L-R) Row 7: Coach W. Moc- nik. M. Howard, A. Schmidt, A. Baca. Ro: 2: E. Twist, C. Linares, j. Ryan, V.
