1-. 1 W .f- M Tops Buena With the CIF finalists Dos Pueblos and Buena in the Channel League, the girls' varsity basketball team had a very impressive season with an overall record of 16-6. Highlighting the season was the well earned first place finish in the Bird Cage Classic where the Royals triumphed over Dos Pueblos and the CIF champion team, Buena in major upsets. Coach Tony Vigna, in his first year of coaching the girls' team commented, Girls basketball needs to be emphasized much earlier. The boys have years of opportunity whereas the girls don't become involved until much later. Outstanding players included Most Valuable Player Cindy Battistone and senior Michelle Meaney. The JV basketball team improved greatly from September to March with the help of much practice and teamwork. Coach Bard Salcido commented, The girls went from individuals to a team and then to a family. After the team's disappointing loss to Buena 61-I6 their motto became no more humiliation, and they proved this by beating Santa Barbara 48-31 after a loss earlier in the season. Most Valuable Player Carol Wesolowski, Most Improved Player Karen Michaels, and Most Inspirational Player Jody Gebert all helped to further the Royals' success.

Freshmen Help Out With outstanding performances by Jim Neary and extra help from ninth grade wrestlers from La Colina, this year's wrestling team had a winning league record of 4-2. The toughest competition for San Marcos proved to be Camarillo and Dos Pueblos which were the only two league losses this season. A new ruling this year made it possible for wrestling and various other sports to benefit from freshman participation if the school in which they attend has no prior program established, Coach Gus Aldana who worked with the wrestlers two to three hours a day, six days a Wrestling Varsity ffif fggfifilf Marcos Opponent Santa' Barbara 39 f,f1 3 f ,' I Q28 if Hueneme .1 ,225 y,, 5 22 I 554Buena', ,Q 42 , ' ' '34 5'-fiCamariIloA ' 29 If '36 if-7 DOS 5169105 i I ift1i6,fff if I -Ventura V'-'1 r ' ,,,il 't'r 'Wrestling ,,, I ,,V, V I '-ff' San Marcos' Opponent i' Huenemefgf' 51 7f5!:j' 26 Buena I8 ' .fl 30 Camarillo' 3 jf 40 Dogtjjrueblos I I 'ii' 56 Ventura 42 ,, 130 week said he really enjoyed coaching the team because they were always very cooperative.
