N.C.S. Title Out of Reach by: Ron Polk The D.V.A.L. crown was a difficult task, the N.C.S. title was almost given away before the game. The Pirates' only N.C.S. game with Berkeley High was close but very disappointing. lt seemed as if most of the players all agreed that they were a little scared from the start. The team psyched itself out early but made up for its opening game jitters by halftime with a 45-32 lead. Foul trouble took out the Pirate's bug man, Marzel Price and the rest was history, Berkeley 74-Pitt 67. The D.V.A.L. champs took the long way to get there. lts first game against Mt. Diablo was a blowout, Pitt 92-MD 76. The next game vs. CV was a barnburner at Northgate. Hundreds of screaming fans cheered each team on as seconds ticked off. With five seconds left with the Pirates championship on the line, senior guard Jose Rosado sank an all netjumper to put Pitt ahead 66-65 and Pirate fans teasing and taunting the CV fans. CV counterattacked with a jump- shot at the buzzer to win it 67-66. Ul,Ll.igEL'I,'Q LEUSIE l:Li,ELll5'l.'lil.i.l.Llil.i.l.l.f lL.IJ .Li,.L. l.tLLLLL'Ll,vli

Girls Basketball Play Confidentally by: Kerry Gudjohnsen The best team l've coached while I have been here , is how coach Dennis Flannery described the 1985-86 varsity girls' basketball team. McKinleyville had been one of their toughest opponents in the preseason, which ended with a record of 6-6. Coach Flannery felt a lot more confident going into a regular season. Most of the team was made up of returnees, which gave them the advantage of working well together. When asked about the assets to the team, coach Flannery said, There was a lot of talking on the court. Some of our most promising players were Lidia Stiglich, Denise Dyer, and LaRhonda Collins. Coach Paula Yvette Stingily called her first year coaching J.V. girls' basketball a great learning experience. With few experienced players, coach Stingily felt that they made a lot of improvements. Tina Rodriguez is a great example of that, the coach added, Roshelle Nunnly and Nicole Levy were two of our biggest assets to the team. Although their preseason wasn't very promising with a record of 1-5, coach Stingily felt the players were a lot more confident and will be more promising next year, The varsity girls' went to the DVAL playoffs, but unfortunately lost to Clayton Valley in the first round.
