BOYS' TEAM Standing: Coach B. McCay, I. O'Brien, B. Stockwell, V. Delange, E. Smith, D. Price, D. Hillery, E. I. Alcantara, T. Haase, I. McLennan, S. Krishnan, T. Dumlao. Freshman Strive For Recognition BOYS WIN, GIRLS GAIN EXPERIENCE Ten years into Frosh Basketball history, and finally the girls joined in the fun. Bob McCay coached the frosh boys who had a very successful sea- son, beginning on November 26. Di- vision games started on Ian. 6, with a 64-42 win over Mt. Diablo. Our boys team finished with 11 wins, 5 losses overall, including the scrim- mage games, with the league stats ending in 8-4. 1987's MVP was Iamie McLennan, most improved was Shree Krishman and the player with the best attitude was Darrin Price. The lady hoopsters, however, had another story where points were concerned. Strong spirits compen- sated for the games that weren't won. According to coach Maureen Matt- son, Demetria Anderson was the lead spirit lifter who helped in the team's improvement for the end of the season. Their season ended with 4 wins, and 5 losses. Mattson commented on the first-time-frosh team, They'd done a very good job considering that this was the first year that we had a team. The girls started with no experience, but improved greatly during the sea- son. - Cris Cruz 46 152 Frosh Basketball Boys 7OirIs' Hawkins, I. Benefield. Kneeling: R. Angelito, I GET BA CK!!

Wrestling Is An Art NEW TEAM HAS NEW HOPES , The Pirate wrestling team, a young group of mat men, wrestled with great potential and pride this year. Pride was an important charac- teristic possessed by every wrestler, They showed this on the mat with their tenacity. Though they displayed more individual wrestling than team wrestling, they all depended on each other. Key wrestler, Tony Gordon, commented, We were always fired up. Showing spirit was very impor- tant. Gordon was a veteran wrestler who saw hope for this new team. Although the team had a 0-7 re- cord, new coach Brett McNamara said, This year was re-building for us. They gained experience for the years to come. He then added, We'll be a team definitely to watch for. - Myrna A.
