Soph keep hope in pite of losses Competition meant more than the win and loss record to To- kay's sophomore football team. lt meant that the games were played with sportsmanship and a good attitude. Despite Tokay's sophomore football team's 2-8 record, the team played with a good attitude all year, according to Kyle Rohde, first year head coach. Having fun is the most im- portant thing, winning ball games comes with it,', said Coach Rohde. Coach Rohde's goals for the team were to win ball games and represent Tokay High with a banner. Tokay recorded its wins against Stagg 38-6 and cross town rival Lodi High l4-10. We made mistakes against the easy teams and against the tough teams we played them tough with a chance to win all the time, Coach Rohde said.

We didn't make the turnovers that we made in the first half offensively and we played the teams evenly on defense in the second half, said Coach Rohde. Coach Rohde believed that the team played better in the last two games because of daylight sav- ings time. The last two games were against the undefeated Tracy Bulldogs in which Tokay only lost 7-O and the Lodi Flames which Tokay won l4-10. Both of these games were played under the lights for the second half. Football is a game, whether you win or lose, you have got to love it, Coach Rohde said.

F rosh gridders bring titl hom Eleven years have come and gone since Tokay's freshman football team has won the San Joaquin Athletic Association title, but the freshman football team accomplished the grand title. Overall standings for the season were 7-2. This past season was a huge success. The freshman team played harder than any of the other teams in the league, said John Hunt, head coach. Key players for the freshman football team were running backs Craig Daniels, Tracy Love, Lee McLaughlin, and Quarterback Eddie Brooks. Other key players were, offensive members Parish lVlcLain, Jason Carson, Shawn Chavez and defensive members Yossarian Madden, Love, Da- niels, McLaughlin, Stanley Oeorge, and Brian Nauta. Our team followed the GOLD philosophy, which meant Ooals Oneness Loyalty Disci- pline, said Coach Hunt. Along with success came pro- blems and the freshman team witnessed a few of them. Most of the freshman team were from Stockton, making transportation and communication one pro- blem. Due to the no cut policy, there was a tremendous amount of team members, many of whom didn't get a chance to play. There were over 70 mem- bers on the team. The team couldn't throw the ball as much as l would have liked, and the quarterback was not as strong, but these minor difficulties will be remedied when the freshman team plays sopho- more and varsity football, said Coach Hunt. Despite the obstacles, the team was committed to hard work, had really good team unity, and tre- mendous overall team speed, by Andy Andris photos by Eric Johnston I.
