Sophs s CCQC espite scores Cool breezes flit through their jerseys as the young players stand frozen in their time-old stance. Someone yells in the back-a player changes posi- tion-the quarterback runs- scans the Held-the balls re- leased-a frenzy of motion. He runs faster, faster-all he can see is that great line ahead of him-all he can hear is the glory of a touchdown. Faster, faster, but then-there's something at his knees-pulling. The world Hits by as quickly as the touchdowng fallen but not defeated... Ending their football season with a record of 4-5-1, the soph- omore football team learned endurance and unification. Steve Westgate, head sopho- more football coach said, ln the beginning the team would just give up and become dis- couragedg throughout the season they learned how not to quit, to keep trying. According to Kyle Rohde, as- sistant coach, the defense and a growing companionship bet- ween teammates carried them through the season. Defense-the fact that we stuck lhitl people in every game was winningg the score doesn't mean everything, said Coach Rohde. Winning at the award's ban- quet were: David Trotter, most valulable playerg Michael Toy, most valuable backg and Randy Powell, most valuable lineman. by Robin Saxen Photos by Kent Wisenor pk.-will 1.

F rosh gridders give Tokay tr After winning its first game of the season, Tokay's freshman football team finished with a 1-6-1 San Joaquin Athletic As- sociation league record. Accord- ing to Steve Hubbard, head coach, the Tigers were restricted to a running game which greatly hampered their performance. lt was a learning experi- ence, stated Coach Hubbard. We had many unorganized players in a system of organized football. As second year freshman head coach, Coach Hubbard had to take responsibility of the younger students not knowing the basics of high school football. ul became frustrated at times, but overall the team was very enthusiastic and willing to learn, stated Coach Hubbard. Tracy was one of the toughest competitors because of its fluent freshmen programs and Lodi because of its cross-town rival reputation. The frosh gridders also won a non-league game 7-6 against Grace Davis and tied in its first game against Lincoln 14-14. Players earning post season honors were: Erik Beer, most valuable linemang Derek Mor- gan, most valuable defensive backg and Corey Jones, most valuable player. The awards were voted by team members. by Troy Movius 3. Freshman Teddy Hom reads the defense and looks for a hole. 4. 128 Q Struggling to recover a fumble ls Teddy Horn. Photos by Matthew Silber
