Danleymen Dominated League Action For the third straight year in Varsity Basketball Katella has shown its strength in the Crestview League with an- other championship. Every team that Katella played was usually blown off the court in the first quarter due to three reasons. First, great interior passing by Lopez, Mc-- Guire, and Pacho to Dunn and Welshans inside, proved almost unbeatable, Second, the accuracy of the shots taken by Katella was usually an amazing 600!0 from the floor. The final killer was the press, which added pressure and many times turned steals into easy lay-ups. These factors made victories over C.l.F. rated teams like Tustin, Orange, and El Modena possible. League was over now and C.I.F. was next. NN. B!! ,qi sf W i il. l 5 3 l E l 3 l ,ni vdlR jx X. AV - ,,.,,,,,N,,,,,,,,,,,, g.sg, 88-Basketball a 'J ,...
