The Saints went into the CCS cham- pionship game undefeated. The assistant coaches that also had a hand in getting the Saints to the CCS playOoffs were Coach Tom Lebherz, Coach Steve Muma, and Coach Bill Rassmussen. Coach Gallegos said. This is the best Santa Teresa has seen their football team play since 1975, but this year we will win all of our CCS playoff games and I'm especially glad we beat Oak Grove 31 -10 at our homecoming game.” Jerry Romero, assistant coach for eight years with Galle- gos, said, Chon is an excellent coach and I see no reason why the football team can't become CCS champs. Romero thought it was special that Chon would watch the f s football games played here. ”1 think it shows that Chon cares about all the football teams from our school and he also gave me some hints on how to have a better game, says Romero. Gallegos started coaching at James Lick ten years before Santa Teresa opened. He has coached varsity football at Santa Teresa for fourteen years since the school opened. Gallegos has coached three players that went on to play professional football. He coached Jim Plunkett of the Oak- land Raiders, Rich Campbell of the Green Bay Packers, and Norris Williams of the Pittsburg Steelers. Norris was the first player from Santa Teresa to receive an athletic scholarship award. Gallegos played football for James Lick High School for four years, three years for San Jose State University, one year with the Oakland Raiders, and five years for the semi- professional San Jose Apaches. Gallegos played quarter- back for the Oakland Raiders in 1962. Sports 102

The fact that the team had very few ex- perienced high school players did not put a dent in their performance. The Saints have been able to maintain an outstanding undefeated sea- son. Having already played ten games, five of them league, they are now 8-0-2 overall and 4-0-1 in league. One tie was in the first scrimmage game against Oak Grove, which ended with a score of 3-3. The rest of the non- league games, which were played against Willow Glen, 5- 4. Live Oak, 9-2, Gilroy. 9-8, and Pioneer, 8-5, were tre- mendous victories for the Saints. League games also resulted in great wins for Santa Tere- sa. The team's excellent pitching and fielding skills allowed the runs they drive in to really count. The Saints conquered Yeroa Buena 7-5, Andrew Hill 15-0, Piedmont Hills 8-1, and Overfelt 12-3. The same against lames Lick ended with a score of 4-4. The starting line up for the Saints consisted of freshmen, Brolin Burke, short stop, Blake Carmichael, second base, and Bobby Schwarz, outfield. Sophomores are Mike Plant, centerfield, Harvell, pitcher and outfield, Tim Kelley, catch- er, and hayward Cook, third base. This powerhouse frosh soph team,” says Coach Dave McDonough, will be an excellent varsity team in a few years. Overall the frosh soph baseball team is off to an almost perfect season which could result in a C.C.S. victory. By Katrina Kalman. Edited by Bill Oliver. ( Frosh Soph Baseball 101
