New coQch brings best-ever record Beating first place Estancia 22-15 and going undefeated their first three games, the varsity football team gave sagging school spirit a shot in the arm. N lany people felt the team ' s 4-1-5 record, an im- provement from last year ' s 0-10 record, was due to new head football coach Terry Hennigan. Hen- nigan hails from Cypress High School where he made a play-off contender out of a losing team in his first year. He saw no reason why Irvine couldn ' t be suc- cessful also, commenting that while most new schools are expected to lose for the first few years, now Irvine ' s due. Coach (Chuck) Sorcabal did many great things for the football department and we are getting great benefits back from them, Hennigan said about Irvine ' s previous head coach. According to Hennigan, he asked a lot from the team, but in order to have a winning season, he expected much commitment. Apparently his players agreed with his methods. Coach Hennigan is a good person and an ex- ceptionaly great coach. He knows his stuff, said senior runningback Jamie Sturtevant. The time spent at practice from February throughout the summer as well as during the season, plus before school and lunchtime meetings, paid off when the team beat Laguna Hills 28-25 in their season opener. Impressed by the backing the team received from the student body, faculty, parents and ad- ministration at Irvine High, Hennigan exclaimed, The support has been phenomenal. It ' s been superb.

Sophomore team finishes season with win over Uni Mixing outstanding plays, a little experience, and a lot of dedication, Barry Schulenburg, Ray DeAvila, and Mike Fazio succeeded in developing a group of ambitious winners for the sophomore football team. Getting the coaches approval for his overall outstanding play was Lance Neal. He ' s a great high school player and he ' s con- tributed over and above his fair share, said Schulenburg. In addition, Schu lenburg praised the team ' s spirit. They are very emotional and believe strongly in themselves; they go out every game believing they ' re going to win. Even though pre-season didn ' t look very pro- mising (by losing every game) the sophomore grid- ders surprised everybody by defeating their first opponent El Toro, 14 to 7, and ended the season with a 21-12 victory over University. We ' ve had a great season. We have a lot to be proud of and we are, said Ron Johnson, sophomore linebacker.
