FRESHME PROGRESSQ OPHS BUILD STATURE Although basketball is tough on the sophomore level and even though the sophomore team only got 5th place it was still a good season. The team proved its mettle by giving close games to Mission Viejo and San Clemente who came in lst and 2nd in the League and by really losing 4th place by a 1 point difference in one game. The League is tough because most schools concentrate their sophomores on the sopho- more team while we sometimes move them up to the JV level. Outstanding sophomores were Tom Thornton and Ed Alabrand who were most valuable players. gl, , awp,- ' x 'l ,Q b .4 gd.: uv v Jeff T., One Year Before the M351 Z 2'

Freshman level basketball is learning, not so one can be a varsity player but just so one can play. Coach Jim Irwin hoped for a better place in League, but being off in shooting at the beginning of the year held the team back as did two close losses to Laguna. Not that Dolphins are short but when an average size team is playing against 6' 4 and 6' 5 fresh- men, what can you do? So shooting and height held the team back, but still the team progressed so well it was a good season. Doug Andrews was Most Valuable Player, Eric Smyth was Most Inspirational, and John Hawkins was Most Improved. lj The Sophomore Basketball Team: Back Row, Jeff Dye, Mike Smith, Ed Alabran, Bill Wade, Jeff Olson, Coach Thornton, Hans Christenson, Chris Goller Front Row, Bob Hendrickson, Bill Robinson, Tom Thornton, Dick Jeffers KSilling2, Ed Kearns. 25 Ed Alabran hits on a lay up as Jeff Dye readies himself in case of a miss. 35 Coach Thorton works on strategy during a time out. 43 Hans Christensen lets go a jump shot as Alabran and Thorton watch. 55 The Freshman Basketball Team: Back Row, Eric Smyth, Doug Andrews, Mike Samuels, Charles Larwood, Dennis Vinson, Mike Ross, Winchell Jonas.
