Ok 76e 1£i?6t 7 c6 Before the new season had even begun, summer conditioning, two-a-day practices, and passing league games were held to help build spirit, pride, and commitment as well as skills. In the fall, Wednesday afternoon study hall before night practice at the district field and Friday reports helped maintain the players ' grades. The combination of emphasis on responsibility in class as well as on the field provided mental conditioning for the team. Players spent time before each game concentrating on the game, the plays, and the job to be done. Finally, this practice, study, and concentration resulted in a successful season. Junior Erick Ware remembered his kick off return for 50 yards against Gladstone: I tried to get the team fired up because it was an important game. The game was also a highlight for junior Felix Badibanga who carried the ball for the go-ahead touchdown. When you physically defeat someone it makes you feel good, said junior John Baseel. It also makes you feel good, senior Ron Paoletto said, beat ing Azusa in a close game and being able to walk in a right mind after. The personal goal of head coach Dick Shelbourne was to win league and go to the play-offs. With only one loss in league, to Baldwin Park, the team came up just short and finished second.
