X-NCS Champs Fall in '88 PIRATES HAVE TALENT IN '86, BUT ARE ABSENT IN PLAYOFFS The defending NCS Champs started off their 1986 campaign in typical fashion by losing their first two preseason games and winning their last. The Pirates started the D.V.A.L. season by slaughtering the College Park Falcons 29-0. Their next game was won by a close margin of 14-12, Northgate with the loss. The Pirates lost their next game 20-14 to the Ig- naccio Valley Warriors. When asked about the season, Head Coach Larry Rodriguez com- mented, It was a disappointing sea- son. We felt we had the potential to go all the way but the ball wouldn't bounce our way. He also commented on the team by saying, I was satisfied at times, but I felt we could have always played better, even when we won. His final comment was, I expected us to do better than we did. Sometimes things happen that you don't count on, like penalties and turnovers. Even though the season ended with Pittsburg having a 5-5 record there were some outstanding high- lights. One highlight included an 81 yard kickoff return by Donovan Soud- ers. This hadn't been done since the 84-85 season. Another highlight that had been brewing all season came about in the last game by all D.V.A.L. Running Back Donald Hines, breaking the 1,000 yardage mark. The other three All D.V.A.L. recipients were: Steve DeMonner, at ,Centerg Iason Walker, at Outside Linebacker, and Kevin Coston, at Safety. Tri-Captains for the Pirates were: Ken Allen, Donald Hines, and Iason Walker. - Iavier Ayala TECHNIQUE Charles Cuy struggles away from opponent and crosses into the end zone tying the game.
