Frosh, Sophs Apiece rejection • slow it, ref ' Win Two Both thc treshman and soph(jmore teams tell short of HH Bfli expectations this year. Five of the players from last year ' s freshman team, arguably the best in the county, passed over the sophomore level to JV and varsity. The able coaching of varsity ' s defensive coordinator Tom Riach was soaked up by the sophomores during practice, but enough of it seeped out by game time that they won only two league games. Big man and big scorer Tony Pavlovich, outside shooter Jay Johnson, defense specialist Eric Haney, and ball handler team leader Jeff Kurtz often managed to supply spurts that Coach Riach described as hints of learning and success. The most positive outcome of the season was the experience that second and third string players gained. League wins over San Clemente and Irvine were the highlight of the season. The team ' s most fierce competition took place against Capo Valley and Mission Viejo; an (overtime loss to El Toro left the group with distaste in their mouths and reason to believe that they were not too far behmd in talent. The freshman team also did not fare well against league competition, posting an identical 2-8 record. Coach Anderson ' s witty explanation for this outcome was, We couldn ' t score as many points as the other teams. Yet some of the freshmen proved that they are future prospects, including J.B. Taylor ( 14 points per game, eight rebounds game), Todd Futa (4 assists per game), Jason Hinckman and Brett Blauvett. Although the freshmen finished fifth in league, they were consolation champions of the D.H. Frosh Tournament and nearly always showed team spirit. If workouts were an indication of how games would turn out, these two teams, which worked out together, might have been much more successful. They were a great group of young men to work with. They listened, tried their best, and got better as the season progressed, commented Coach Riach. The weak points of inexperience, turnovers, and the inability to make the big play in close games all contributed to the depressing season. Yet, defensive play playing with effort by the sophomores and great improvement of the fundamentals and great attitudes by the freshman team were all strong points that led the coaches to believe that next year might be a good one. The opposing teams had more experience than we did -Jeff Kurtz Cim48 Teamwork 1. : Toro (mtstrc ' tchcs Tony Pavlovich by a fingernail. 2. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL-! front ) D Johnson. B. Blauvdt. S.
