J.V. ' s Improve Skills As Season Progresses, The 1985-86 boys ' J.V. team began the season slowly and somewhat mexpenenced, due to the tact that many ot the players were young and there were few returnmg players. Coach Chuck Feth described this year ' s J.V. team as an improved team . They learned to overcome their obstacles. In the La Puente Christmas Tournament, the team lost their first three games, but came back and won the next three games, capturing championship of the consolation round. Bruce Evans and Tommy Navarro, being the most consistent players on the team, aided the team to victory. Phil Cox was an extremely consistent rebounder, Jason Dressel added a great deal of height, Steve Paige added hustle and defensive intensity, while Steve Braun and Mike ( lead contributed abundantly to the team. The J V. team ended the season with a 3-7 record. The freshmen basketball team consisted of many talented young athletes. Unfortunately, their overall standings were slightly disappointing with a 5-5 record, mainly because very little aggression was shown. Their most consistent offensive player was Dave ti lolina, who definitely displayed his talents on the court. A surprising young player, Richard Rassmussen also added a great deal to the team as he suddenly came on strong for the Vikings in the middle of the season. Mike Hollowell also improved considerable during the second half as did Dave Fernandez. Mike Garcia led the team with rebounds while Chuck Kemp and Bob Wingett as- sisted with the team ' s success.
