Carlos Alvarado is determined to score for the Cowboys. 1982-83 was a year of rise and fall for the Cowboys. Entered in three tournaments, the Cowboys took three straight losses in the Consolation Championship. When district rolled around, Coach Dennis Smith was sure he had a winning combination. What he didn't know was that one of his starters was about to leave the team. The loss of that senior leadership and the scor- ing was a determining factor in district games. With a great lack of height and experience the Cowboys finished fifth in district in front of rivals, the South San Bobcats and the Harlandale In- dians. Out of three meetings between the Cowboys and Indians, the Cowboys came out on top. With four returning starters and three other lettermen coming back, 83-84 should be the winning season to bring back the good tradition of McCollum athletics. This year two Cowboys received district honors. Alex Huizar a 6'1 junior starter received All-District Honorable Mention. The twelfth leading scorer in the district, he was a powerful force, mainly due to his great jumping ability. The other honored Cowboy was a 5'11 senior guard named Oscar Sepulveda. O was the sixth leading scorer in the district and was named to the All-District first team. Both of these young men gave us all exciting moments and kept the winning at- titude. Senior lettermen, Rod Salinas,jonathon Higgins,james Cannon, Oscar Sepulveda, Edward Solano, juan Campos, jeff DeVille, and Coach Smith wish next year's varsity good luck. A special thanks to Rudy Navarro for helping out with everything. McCollum Cowboys are still at the top of our hearts. vw' Q.-2.-ef Qt., N1 iy..l.
