A Winning Tradition Keeping a great winning tradition, the Freshman Football Team stunned their opponents with the help of quarterback Dave Hus- band, and tailback John Fishbeck. Strong blocking from the offen- sive line was also a key asset. The defense shut down their op- ponents by strong play from outside linebacker Brian Decoit, and in- side linebacker Brian Healy. Coach Duffy Clark took over the head coaching spot and did an outstanding job in leading the team. Two exciting highlights of the season were when the mighty Knights romped cross town rivals Tustin, and an exciting rivalry with Santa Ana Valley. ln their first meeting, at Valley, the freshmen were beaten 28-0. The tide would turn a few weeks later. When the two teams met again, it was an all out war! Although the Knights lost, 14-13, their courage and strong desire to win brought them close to victory. This potential made the future look promising for Foothill football. The sophomore team, too, enjoyed a successful season. Coach Bob Zeich tallied up his 100th career win for Foothill and spurred his team on to victory. The team's hard-hitting performance thrilled fans as well as fellow students. The offense was led by receiver Chris Cutliff and the strong running of tailback John McTaggart. The line did a superior job in opening up holes for the running backs. The defense was led by strong play from Dave Fox and Todd Stewart. With the enthusiasm these students displayed, the future indeed looked bright for Foothill football.

'va' -an- 'kai H20 Polo Makes the Goal Outstanding! What other word could describe the JV and FroshfSoph Water Polo Teams' seasons? With a superb record of 6-1, the JV team splashed out their com- petitors. Moving up to 4A, like the varsity, they also played a defen- sive game. Excellent players included Nick Toscas, Dave Brouk, and Ricky Rodriguez. Their coach, Dave Simcox, worked them to the limit, which was one reason they became Century League Champions. Also with a 6-1 record, the froshfsoph team became league champs. Their coach, Mark Vallenkamp, used a different strategy in workouts. Pushups! They helped build strong arms, an essential in water polo. Left: Coach Dave Simcox works those boys! Below: Mike Welch smacks a goal while Doug Crawford wards off the opponent.
