They will lose most of the regulars from this year's team, but have a fine bunch coming up from the JV's for next year, and the future looks bright. Tranquillity opened the season by dropping a game to Fresno High JV's. Bouncing back they took Roosevelt's JV team into camp. Then came two consecutive league losses, to Riverdale and Parlier. TUHS hit the winning column again, however, by swamping Laton, Tigers threw a scare into mighty Caruthers before going under in the third quarter, and ended the season shut out by Sierra. Wingback Rufus Vega, trophy winner, and tailback Benny Oller were the main work horses throughout the season, while Tom Phillips was brilliant on the line.
