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.

Season disappoints hoopsters Things didn't start out well for the Lincoln Sophomore Basketball Team, with a disap- pointing 2-5 record the first half of the season. By the beginning of the second half of the sea- son the team was fired up and ready to play, with a 4-3 finish in the second half of the sea- son. The team ended up with a 6-8 season put- ting them fifth place in the league, The team was helped out greatly by player George Marco- polus who was the leading scorer, said Coach Tom Galvin. He also was a very good defensive pIayer. The most improved players of the season were Bill Estes, Matt Schrieber, and John Reece, who helped the team a great deal. The team placed first in the Manteca Tourna- ment, with Marcopolus, and David Zeyen lead- ing the team, said Coach Galvin. The team played together all the way, said Galvin. With strong play they saved a totally disastrous season, and ended in fifth rather than last, and without input from every mem- ber ofthe team we would not have been suc- cessful at all, said player Gary Safady. Overall they were a great group of kids, and I see them being very successful next year, because they learned to play as a team. said Galvin. O 184 Sophomore Basketball 1.
