C and D BASKETBALL This year the C and D Basketball teams had a fairly successful season. The teams played ten games. The C's won one and lost nine, to finish last in league standings. But all was not lost: the D's won eight and lost only two to finish first in league standings. Both Coach Charles Carter and Student Coach Jim Hill worked hard with the players, and some of these should be a great help to the A and B teams in a year or two. The C and D teams leaving for a game. Charlie comes down with the ball in the Liberty game. Watch that elbow, Charlie! Tension rises in the game against Antioch. 64

COACHES Thu past football season was perhaps Pacifica's best all out effort to perform on tne gridiron. The linemen and backfield showed what desire and team effort can do toward building a successful football team. This was Pacifica’s best all around backfield and line in the history of the school. These boys played almost the entire game without relief and they played offense as well as defense. In our league we are the smallest school in enroll- ment, however week in and week out we showed that we could handle teams that outweighed us 20 pounds per man. These boys had the will to play rock and sock football. When the season ended we were proud to put our tackle John Arciniega, quarterback Barry Neely, and fullback Bill Mattson, on the first All League Team. Guard Bob Guadagni also gained All League, on the second team, and end Richard Hewitson, and halfback Kenneth Lopez received Honorable Mention. In conclusion, we would like to mention that this squad never quit in any game and had the aggres- siveness that makes for better teams and men. This was a great group to coach, and we wouldn't trade this team for any other in the league.

The Spartan ' B's were led by three all-league nominees, Bob Johnson, 1st team, Herb Meeks, 2nd team, and Jim Morris, Honor- able Mention. The B's had poten- tially the best team in the league. Inconsistency, however, plagued them throughout the season. Thus they inherited the name of Chi- nese Bandits (if they couldn't find anyone to rob, they robbed them- selves). The Pacifica Frosh enjoyed a successful season posting a five- and-two mark. A double win over Mt. Diablo marked the highlight of the season. Members of this Frosh Team showed fine potential and should help the basketball teams of Pacifica in the coming year. p FROSH BASKETBALL First row, left to right: John Johnson. James McGee.
