Boys Frosh Soph Soccer A year of learning experience Katella's 1984-85 Freshman-Sophomore team, sometimes known as the Junior Varsity or J.V. team, completed the year with a very disappointing showing on the soccer field. The FroshfSoph team had a very hopeful preseason that had everyone predicting a very prosperous and bright year ahead. They tied El Modena 3-3, and Villa Park, 0-0, while tromping Magnolia, 6-0, and defeating a tough Anaheim team, 3- l. But in reality it was false prediction as to what was to come for the young group of players. By the end of the year they had posted a 3-10-1 mark, identical to the varsity record, to snatch 7th in the final Empire League Standings. Two of the three victories came against the Loara Saxons. The first time these two teams clashed, the Knights handily defeated the Saxons, 6-3. The second time Katella barely pulled out a win, 3-2, in one of the toughest games of the year. The third victory came against the Irish of Kennedy, in which the Knights pulled off a 4-2 victory at home. At the awards banquet Coach Armando Cendejas awarded the Most Valuable Player, Outstanding Defense Player, Outstanding Offensive Player and Most Improved. Not an outstanding year, but one to learn from and build upon to make the future teams of Katella better than ever. - Carey Clubb fires a shot to try and help the downtrodden Knights. 432 THE PLAYERS X

Varsity Matmen Take League Title, Miss Perfection by One gg I , fwe can't have one loss and win the league, Coach Werschke said at the pep assembly, then we'll have to go undefeated! Well, the Varsity Wrestling team missed perfec- tion by one. losing in an upset to El Dorado, 24-22. Overall the team ended up ranked number 2 in Orange County. along with winning the Empire League Championship for the first time after spending too many years in the shadow of such teams as Loara. The Knights won the Estan- cia tournament to start off their excellent year, which only went uphill from there. When they started league play they steam- rolled opponents, including Loara. who they beat for the first time in many moons. Their one loss came after an exciting pep assembly. During that assembly Mr. Werschke taught the crowd how and when to cheer for the team that night. With the help of a few of the wrestlers. he taught the crowd a little bit about some of the moves and holds. Eventually he built the crowd up to a fevered pitch. as they cheered their team to do their best against El Dorado, or i'ElDork as they were known that week, who was at that point challenging them for first place. Unfortunately they lost. in what could only be called the most emotional match of the year. But no one could take away the league title. lndividual awards went like this: Dave Bestenlehner - Captain, MVP. Most lnspira- tional, Scholar Athlete and 43 in CIFQ Don Chrisman - Most Improved: Matt Post f Coachs Awardg Phil Graham - Rookie ofthe Yearg Tony Ruiz - ff5 in CIF: Jim Devore - 546 in CIF. All in all a tremendous year for Katella's Varsity Matmen. - David Bestenlehner leads the varsity team in warm up before a match. 4341 THE PLAYERS
