A total of four Knights re- ceived mention from the Em- pire League, which is one of the toughest in all of Southern California. Two players from offense, two from defense. Tony Ruiz, the senior class President, received 1st team League defensive honors. Tom Moreno received the nod for second team defense from the League.

I Katella record for most recep- tions in a game during this season. Although Wayne Petrakis received no mention for the league, he deserves mention here. Petrakis, while only a ju- nior and constantly improving throughout the season, passed 215 times, completing 80 for 1117 yards, an average of 124.1 a game and almost 14 yards a completion, plus 7 TD's. The Knights played an emotional game, never giving up even when the odds were stacked up incredibly against them. They had the all impor- tant never-say-die attitude that separates them from oth- er teams with the same, or even better records. Perhaps it was stated best by the head coach of Villa Park, Katel1a has a good team, they just need experience, he said. They have a lot of heart. l 21.5 J 2 il ' 'Tx I ' 1 15532.
