During the 1981-82 school year the athletic department of- fered 20 different sports. The 20 Card Studs” taught many participants how to lose as graciously as to win, that winning is important, but having fun was the main objective. Under the supervision of boys’ and girls' athletics advisors Rich Alderson and Sherri Ross, El Toro's athletes proved themselves to be among the best in the county. CIF was com- monly heard around campus this year, and it was not unusual for the majority of teams, or individual members of the teams to go into post season play. Quite a few outstanding players for from the various sports were chosen to become members of the All-Sea View League Teams. Besides the honor of many teams going into CIF playoffs, many senior athletes received the athletic scholorships they'd been working so hard to attain. Two of El Toro's female athletes. Tracy Clark and Leslie Devereaux, were also asked to become members of the U.S. Women’s Olympic volleyball team. This was not only a great honor to these two young women, but also to El Toro High School as well. Even though the competition is tough, El Toro High School’s athletes worked hard and were successful at meeting their goals. All the athletes worked as a unit to help El Toro's athletic department to play its hand full of Aces. “20 CARD STGDS” Sports 87
