Thanks to a well-balanced football team led by quarterback Tod Friend, Santiago rolled over its league opponents with little difficulty to capture the Crestview League Champion- ship. According to Coach Avery, the Santiago team started the season with its most inexperi- enced team and its most challenging schedule. This challenging combination, which could have resulted in a disasterous season, was ac- cepted by Santiago players, who put forth the effort to win Santiago the Crestview League Championship and its first trip to C.I.F. play- offs. Santiago started the season with a close loss to Compton, 7-6. The next two losses to Bay League champions, Hawthorne, and powerful Sunset League co-champions, Santa Ana Val- Fast-moving Tod Friend outdistances his pursuer. ley, proved to be the turning point for Santi- ago, for the next pre-league game ended in a 7-7 tie with Norwalk. Coach Tom Avery changed from the Slot-T formation to the Syracuse T in mid-season-a gamble that paid off Well. In league play, Santiago had little trouble in beating Sunny Hills, Magnolia, La Habra, Tus- tin, and Rancho Alamitos. For this, Coach Tom Avery was selected league Coach of the Year, and Tod Friend was named Player of the Year. Santiago had seven Cavaliers named to All League I-Ionors. In the C.I.F. playoffs against Fullerton, San- tiago lost a hard-fought battle against the de- termined Indians. The final score was 21-6.

J Aids VGVSWY- .lv FOOTBALL SCORES The Junior Cav's of 1964 were lacking only in numbers of players-their spirit, effort, determination, grit, and attitude were intense. Their win-loss record was not on the winning side of the ledger, but their aid to the varsity team helped in winning the League Championship. Many of the players that were .IV when the season opened ended up earning their varsity letter. This speaks Well of the ability of the coaches to bring out the very best in all those reporting for the sport. Playing most of their games this year away from Santiago due to the schedul- ing of games the JV,s became the most trav- eled squad of all fall sports. Many of these players will continue their careers on varsity teams and continue to win championships.
