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.
