Another in- dividual who performed admirably was John Thomas, the team's lvlostlnspirational Player, who did well in tight situations.

The 1976 Varsity Football season featured exciting vic- i tories as well as heartbreaking defeats . An outstanding as T pre-season record of 2-0-1 which included at 14-14 tie with Riordan, 48-O pasting of Crestmoor, and a 7-6 victory over a very good Aragon team, reaffirmed the hopes of those who were thinking championship. However, this was not to be, Following Oceana's hard fought pre-sea- son victory over Aragon, a rash of crucial injuries forced the Sharks to continously adjust their starting line-up and placed an extra burden on the younger Oceana football players. The result was the loss of the first three league games, allowing the varsity to play out the season for pride alone. Under the leadership of team captains Denis lVlurray, Bruce Taylor, Kevin Wynne and Jimmy lVlcCrary the team rebounded to win 3 of its last 4 games including Oceana's first ever win over South San Francisco, a stun- ning upset over El Camino and finally the bringing of Pacifica's BIG GAME ANCHOR back home by defeating Terra Nova 12-7 in the season finale. 1st team all-league performers included Denis lVIurray CFBJ, Jimmy lVlcCrary CCBD, and Randy Swayne CDEJ. Second team awards went to Dave Hinds KQBJ, Bob Sil- icani CWRJ and Kevin Wynne COGD. Steve IVlyhrberg earned honorable mention status.
