Sea View League Champs team up for success Scoreboard SHS OPPOSITION 28 Costa Mesa 28 University 17 26 Newport 26 31 Estancia 7 21 Woodbridge 10 27 Corona del Mar 6 31 Norwalk 10 13 Fullerton 30 by Lisa Wood The varsity football team achieved its primary goal of being the number one team in the Sea View League. Led by the Daily Pilot ' s Coach-of-the- Year, Jerry Witte, the gridsters en- tered the season in peak condition, concentrating on the regular season competition, but also, beyond. We had a goal to win every game, to make CIF, and hopefully, CIF champs, Coach Witte stated. The team ' s progression to the CIF play-offs was highlighted by the tele- vised Homecoming game in which the Raodrunners tied Newport Har- ' ' We all came together and played like true champi- ons. — Joe Deal bor, 26-26. The varsity members completed regular season play with no losses and became Sea View League Co-Champions. After dispensing of Norwalk 31-10 in first round CIF action, the Roa- drunners were pitted against Fuller- ton. In an intense game where, as Glenn Campbell puts it, crucial mental mistakes were made at the wrong time, Saddleback was de- feated, 13-30. Summarizing the entire football program ' s sentiments on the sea- son, Joe Deal stated, I ' ll never for- get how every game we all came to- gether and played like true champi- ons with class and pride. The varsity football team attained much more than a trophy and a championship. They acquired a re- spect for themselves and for their teammates, accompanied by a sense of pride and accomplishment. Defensive back Teddy Baker, who also played offensive tail back, prepares himself to cover the opposing team ' s receiver. Teddy was named to the Sea View League first team, and also the Daily Pilot ' s first team. Kicker Todd Maxwell attempts to score that extra point. The punter ' s success can be the de- ciding factor in a winning game. Todd maintained a 46.4 average throughout the season. ♦ Once again, after Glenn Campbell runs the ball into the end zone, the referees give that won- derful sign signifying another touchdown for the Roadrunners.

Bret Miller hurls the ball to the receiver in hopes that he will run the ball into the end zone. His teammates. Antoin Lark and Nate Primous made sure that Bret completed the pass without getting tackled. 9 Pulling guards Martin Mercado and Jody Neal block their opponents with relentless blows. Teamwork was the vital ingredient to a winning season. Saddleback stops Santa Ana ' s attempt to block one of the many field goals scored. The final score, 48-0, proved that the Roadrunners were a team to be reckoned with. Al Coleman holds the ball for Jeff Schriver as he kicks the extra point after another touchdown. These two players helped the team many times by obtaining that additional point. Sophomore Football — Row 1: B. Thurmond, B. Nunez, D. Phillips, D. Onti- veros, J. Bustos, M. Mumford Row 2: P.
