Surfers Score On Big Waves The surf team, coming off a sixth place finish in the state meet last June, won four out of six meets, but it was not enough to knock off arch -rival San Clemente for the league championship. Consistency on 4 ' -6 ' waves, strong back-ups to the first team, and outstanding efforts by the girls only lay in the shadow of the weak performances on smaller waves and the falls during radical maneuvers. The lack of dedication and occasional no -shows by some of the better surfers also did n(5t help matters. Nevertheless, the waves were handled best by sophomore Vince Delapena. who was usually a winner or runner-up. senior Eric Thomas, who shredded on the big waves, and freshman Tim Reardon. who showed he could be the 1 man of the future. Aside from the problem of the Tritons, the team was also pushed to the limit by San Dieguito, Edison, and the DHHS alumni from 1977-1986. The true bright spot of the season was the 66-60 victory at Trestles in the season finale. We scored on the best waves and won hands down! exclaimed Coach Nakamura. Prospects for the future remain bright with Heather Meade. Marc Belanger. and Jake Millard expected back with Delapena and Reardon. The coach ' s expectation for next year.

Varsity Stopped Short of C.I.F. Like the New ' ork V ' ankecs of chc 192() ' s and the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970 ' s. any sports dynasty ' s most threatening opponent is time. The Dolphins ' varsity soccer team confronted not only the reputation of the Augies Army tradition, but also the conflict of a mid- season coaching change. Nevertheless, the boys managed a fourth place league finish with a 10-8-2 overall record. As a matter ot tact, the last game versus the Tritons, which ended in a 1-1 tie, determined their CIF status: needing a victory to advance, the Dolphins scored first tt) lead 1-0 at the half. In the waning minutes of the game, however, San Clemente tied the score, but only after Chris Astrand was carried off the field with a broken leg. In the pre-season Irvine Tournament, the Dolphins came from behind to tie the Vaqueros 1-1, a team that defeated Dana 3-1 in both league confrontations. As cited by Coach Butler, the highlights of the league season were beating Capo Valley and Bryan Larkin ' s diving save against Fl loro. As an indication of its potential, the team statistically earned the rank of second in league in both total offense and total defense, including the greatest margin of victory (5 against El Toro). Our season and injury. was endeci by a tie -B. Coley The team ' s strength was its defense, headed by Larkm and Christian Jester, which compiled eight shutouts for the year and never allowed more than three goals in one game. Other outstanding players were fullback Tim Shipley, mid-fielder Jeff Meredith, and foraward Gabe Smith. -t.h. 1.
