IARSITY FOOTBALL I AGAINST TCJUGH COMPETITION Playing in a league which many consider to be the toughest league in California, the varsity football team knew their 1986 season wasn't going to be easy. In all, the Falcons, went up against five of the p nine teams in the county, but head coach Rik Haines mained optimistic. - l go into every game feeling we can win, said Haines. lthenwise I wouldn't be here. Despite the tough schedule, the team gave the Palomar eague a run for its money. At one point, they ran off three 'aight wins and took their first two league games, includ- g a 38-7 route over fifth ranked Orange Glen, putting the ilcons in a tie for first place. However, the team lost its next three games and all but it an end to their playoff hopes. Even with the disappointing season, there were many bright spots and GXCSIIBDT individual performances. Junior running back Tim Walker, for one, was naiiied 'North County Player ofthe Week' by the San Diego Union after the Orange Glen game. Torrey Pines also has nine players named to the 'All-Palomar League' team. Senior offensive lineman Chas Doerrer made first team while junior running back Mark Osterink make second team offense and senior defensive lineman Craig Olsen, senior linebacker Scott Carson, and senior defensive back Pete Cassiano all made second team defense. Four players, including Walker, Tyler Batson, Chris Nelson, and Steve Reiners received 'Honorable Mention.' The season left something to be desired by both the players and Coach Haines. Next year, he said, We're going to make the playoffs and win the Palomar League. - Travis Scart Varsity Football. .Front Row: Coach Craig Sooggins, MiKelle Merril, Kari Dunford.

FINAL STRETCH. Ignacio Barrera pumps his arms in an effort to gain speed in the final stretch of a race at San Dieguito Park. 56 CROSS COUNTRY CDUNTRY STFIUGGLING TO ESCAPE THE PAO Michelle Greer and Nicole Nugent fight position themselves at the head of I crowd in a tri-meet against Vista and I Carmel. olstered by top runners, Agustin Flamirez, Ignacio Barerra, Matt Lehman, and Nicole Nugent, the cross-country team accom- plished its main season goal -to reach the CIF finals. We had depth on the boys' team with seven real strong runners who had a pack time of under one minute, Coach Jim Temples. Most of them are coming back next year too. The girls' team, although small, was streng- thened greatly by the presence of one of the top girl runners in the county, senior Nicole Nugent. Having a rough time getting started, the girls started out with only three team members. At first, the only girls on the team were Nugent, Michelle Greer, and Jenny Peck, said Temples. Then some new girls came in with a lot of en- thusiasm. They really came in and worked well. It just took us awhile to get started that way. Once the teams got started, they were frequently troubled with injuries. Senior Jody Lim, who was out with mono for over two months was greatly missed by the team. That killed us, said Temples. Lim rejoined the team in late November, and was able to strengthen the team somewhat, but he didn't return with full strength. We also had problems with shin splints and other periodic things, Temples recalled. But that comes with the sport. This year the team faced competition from other teams that were mostly of its same level. We were able to compete strong and gain con- fidence. Temples said. The toughest competi- tion for us was within our own league, whereas, normally when you go to CIF the competition is harder. For us the competition is dillutedf' Despite the 'rough spots' throughout the sea- son, the team did manage to accomplish their main goal -to reach the CIF finals in which the boys' team placed seventh and the girls placed eighth. - Lora Stowe
