Frosh Have Troubled Season by: Jeff Keats The freshmen football team finished Q-5-1 on the season. Though their record does not show it, the Pitt freshmen had a lot of talent. They lead the DVAL with the 111 offense in the league. Their offense was producing the points, but their defense was not keeping other teams out of the end zone. Most of their 5 losses were lost by one touchdown or less. We were never really beaten by other teams, said Chad Wehrmeister, We usually beat ourselves on big mistakes. Pitt's offensive success was due to a strong front line, and the running of their four backs. They were Aaron Turner, Marcus Muldrow, Pat Calderon, and Edward Castillo. Coach John Abono commented, We walked away from a lot of losses thinking we should have won. is - if. 'sf Z ti 1. Marcus Muldrow and Tony Dargon get down in 3 pt. stances.

Barcenas Looks to Future by: Jason Haley ln the next two years we will be as competitive as anyone in the league, said Guillermo Barcenas, PHS's varsity soccer coach, after the team had a dismal first season in the Foothill Athletic League. Barcenas said, We have quality players, but they made errors. The best player, according to Barcenas, was junior Duy Nguyen, who was A very clean player, perhaps too clean. lt's unfortunate that he is moving away. Another all around good player was center halfback Andrew Alatorre, a junior. The most improved player was goalkeeper Manny lsidro, a senior who had never played that position. The team's catalyst was senior Charles Lafrades who, even with the team's language barrier, was able to motivate the team. Barcenas always enjoyed playing soccer, and at other districts has been a referee and a coach. In Pittsburg he has been coaching for the Delta Youth Soccer League. The athletic directors were very supportive, and They gave us more than we asked, including uniforms and 53,000 for a pair of goals. 1. Center fullback Johnathon Jones, a junior, moves in on a player demonstrating the tech- nique of inside of foot kick. The primary function of the fullback is to defend against the opposition wings. Q. Senior fullback Thomas Baker, junior John Jones, and senior Hoang Phan watch as substitute Phan Somphet attempts to tackle the ball controller. A tackle is taking the ball away from the opponent by using the feet. 3.
