Aztecs conquer Empire League Even a move from the Orange League to the more athletically difficult Empire League didn't stop the Aztecs from making a fantastic showing. The Varsity Football team entered CIF competition for the third consecutive year. Entering that competition on a wild card draw the Aztecs defeated Fullerton, and Downey before being stopped in the semi-finals by El Modena. The girls junior varsity tennis team remains undefeated, they have not lost a game in the school's history. The girls volleyball team took the Empire League title and entered CIF competi- tion. The water polo team took the Empire League title for the first time in that sport's history. They entered CIF play and were eliminated by Newport Harbor. But the most outstanding example of the Aztec superiority was seen on the basketball court. For the first time in this school's history the boy's basketball team entered CIF competition. In 1974 and 1979 the team held its best season to date winning Il games. By mid-season the Aztecs had already broken that record. 1. Varsity Volleyball Coach Dal Dessecl-ter gives instructions to his team during a time-out. The team had an extraordinarily good season, taking league and entering CIF competition. 1.

This sign, declaring the Aztec's strength in the Empire League, was hung over the fence at Bradford Stadium.

The team was coached by walk-on coach Sue Wittler. 5. Paul Moralez leads the Aztecs to their best record ever. Prior to this season the Varsity Basketball team had won just eleven league games in 1974 and 1979, their best seasons to date, by mid- season they had surpassed that mark. 6. Varsity Songleader junior Lisa Smith motivates the crowd at the Sunny Hills football game. Her efforts were not in vain as the Aztecs crushed the Lancers 42-0. 7. Varsity Water poloist Don Zavadil tries to pass the ball during the Aztec victory over El Dorado. The poloists were the first team to win an Empire League title in the 1981-81. season. 6 - theme
