Ff osh fight against crippling injuries Crippled by injuries, Irvine ' s freshman football team attained a 5-5 overall season under the direction of coach Rick Lara. Lara, who lost 13 out 22 starters by midseason, relied heavily on Mike Hennigan, running back; Jeff Kline, wide receiver; and Steve Lipton, quarterback. We had a good offense but in defense we were inexperienced, said Lara. They were aggressive which is good, but they were inexperienced. That is where we got hurt. Lara ' s team had a strong start winning its first two games against Laguna Hills and Laguna Beach. Then injuries began to take their toll. Irvine lost the next three games in tough battles against Valencia, El Toro and Saddleback. They finished their season with a 21-20 victory against cross- town rival Uni. My goals were to win as many games as possi- ble and to teach the fundamentals. More impor- tantly, I wanted everyone to have fun, said Lara. Football is one of the greatest sports around if you are having fun. If you are not, it can be one of the worst.
