Varsity Football Varsity Caps Winning Season K' M With C. l. F. Bid Football fever and expectations ran high in 1970 for the Fillmore Flashes. What turned out to be a spectacular season for the Flashes started with a tough defensive win at Rio Mesa 16-0. Following losses to Quartz Hill and Santa Paula, the Flashes blasted to such wins as 26-0 over Nordhoff, 31-6 Moorpark, 22-6 St. Bonaventure, 31-13 Carpinteria and 31-20 over Villanova before being up- ended by League champions Bishop Diego in a fine display of offensive football. Expecting a C.l.F. invitation, the Flashes waited patiently-but the Frontier League was given three berths in the play-offs- but wait l ! ! Santa Paula was guilty of illegal film exchanges and the Flashes were given a reprieve and made the C.l.F. play- offs. This timely occurrence came along at the right time and as it turned out, it took the Class A championship C.l.F. team, St. Genevieve to put the Flashes out of the running by a 14-8 score at Notre Dame High School. Many players were honored for an out- standing season. All-League honorable mention included Mark Vest, lohn Phillips, Bailey Glenn, Doug Main, Dana Hoover, and Gabe Sanchez. The Flashes had six players picked for the All-Conference team. They were offensive tackle and defensive end Gary Southwick, offensive halfback and defensive tackle Ralph Zermeno, offensive halfback Matt Willis and offensive guard Ken Myers. Along with these four, two fine all-league defensive backs made the first team-Ver- non Kenfield and Angel Carrera. Ralph Zermeno was awarded the league's Most Valuable Player award for his out- standing performances. Ralph carried the ball 188 times for 1108 yards and 12 touch- downs. Our sincere congratulations to Ralph, the team and the coaches at Fillmore High School for their great season. 20 83292
