Planning For Next Year IUNIOR VARSITY TEAM MAKES THEIR SEASON A SUCCESS Pittsburg High's 1986 Iunior Varsity Football team ended their season victoriously. This season I learned about a new position on the defensive line, which I have never played, com- mented Lex Corliss. Corliss planned on playing for the Varsity team next fall. Like most players, he played football for the fun, but would like to make it his career. Victory or not, Eric Tiscareno said, I had a lot of fun this year and I know I will play next year too. To Tiscareno, playing football was more of a hobby. He had no intention of making it his career. All in all, the players felt they didn't have too bad of a season, and were glad to be the center of atten- tion every Friday night at 5:30. Pirate fans would be looking forward to seeing them play in their 1987 Var- sity season. The Iunior Varsity football team ended in a 3-7 season. - Tina Brooks HIGH FIVE Gerome Sandoval and Danny Beshe congrat- ulate each other on their winning touchdown pass against Antioch. P. G.K.

Freshmen Continue Tradition UNDERCLASSMEN CARRY ON A WINNING SPIRIT The freshman football team of the 1986 season had the drive and potential to be the Diablo Valley Athletic League, D.V.A.L., Cham- pions of the future. Considering the freshmen got off to a slow start, they really im- proved later in the season. Every- thing was going well until the start- ing quarterback, Mark Aiello, in- jured his shoulder early in the sea- son. One may have thought that a new quarterback would not have been able to fill the shoes of the start- er, but Iaime McClennan showed everyone that he could do the job. laime did an outstanding job as quarterback, said Coach Steve Ahonen. There were also some players that were outstanding for the past season. Iesse Coronado rushed for a total of 323 yards. Another record, which was set by Steve Hines, result- ed in a total of 210 yards, in punt re- turns. Ioe O'Brien also set a record Q X X -.-ml' J - ..: RACING FOR THE FIRST DOWN 333 Ioe Iohnson sweeps left and turns up field. . . . Freshmen Football of 70 for the most tackles. The best offensive player of the year title was given to Iesse Corona- do for his rushing. The most out- standing defensive player ofthe year title was given to Ioe O'Brien for his tackles. The most improved player on the freshman team was Iaime McClennan, recognized for reliev- ing Aiello when he could not play. The two most inspirational players were Benji Simonton and Tom House. They missed very few prac- tices throughout the season, said Coach Ahonan. I feel the team had improved a lot, but they still had hidden talents which they will soon develop, com- mented Michelle Dimarob, a fresh- man football stat. - Dave Bahamian WAITING FOR THE PUMP IS . . . 1132 George Lumbre as Ioe Iohnson pumps up Mike Cardinalli for their next game.
