lnconsistenoy plagues , Trojans Dominance is not a word used to describe any of the teams in the San Joaquin Athletic Association. At the beginning of the season, all local sportswriters and coaches of the league agreed thatthe S.J.A.A. would be a tough, even- K j. ly matched league. Every team had their P9 strengths and their weaknesses. - As the season progressed, these expecta- tions proved to be true. Most of the contests were decided by a one or two point difference. This was the trouble for the Trojans this sea- son. They were a good, experienced team, but they usually wound up on the short end of the close games. The highlights of the year were surprise, up- set victories over Stagg and Lodi, Ctwo very highly rated teamsj, in the first half of league play. In these games the Trojans showed their true potential as a team, but inconsistency kept Lincoln from winning. We had a deceiving record. Considering how well-balanced the league was, we played fairly well. We just weren't fired up for every game, summed up departing Senior forward, Greg Riggs. QI.

Ladies take third Smashing was the only thing to be said about the girI's tennis team. The determined athletes ended up with a 16-4 record losing to St. Marys and Lodi twice each. They came in third place in the SJAA. With enthusiasm and hard work the team played well and had support for each other. We weren't expected to do that well so we were really pleased, said Wendy Wagner. Sarah DeWitt was chosen most improved and most valuable player. I was very sur- prised to get those awards, said DeWitt. Wagner and Betsy Highfill went undefeated for the season. They performed well, and we were one of the best teams in the league, said Coach Ellie Brumm. Cindy Cisneros was first singles player. Wagner and Highfill were first doubles play- ers.
