The fact that in pre-league games Santiago defeated three teams which later went on to represent their leagues in CIF indicates the strength of our team. According to Coach Heusser, the team's best games were the first two played against Rancho Alamitos. Rancho had one of the strongest teams in CIF. Although Santiago was defeated in these games against Rancho, the scores were very close until the last few moments of play. Chosen as most valuable player by his team- mates was Ron Malmquist. Bob I-Iarries was voted most improved.
