4 SALUTB TO TMe fOOUAU UAIA -Zachary Wilson West Campus football was a major success this year, its 6-0 record owing to the magnificent coach ing of Chico Mendoza and Percy Crawford. (You help- ed too, Mitchell.) Outstanding individual perfor- mances were turned in too by Michael Walker in particular. Michael -was the MVP of the team and wasthe leader in rushing and scoring. Craig Mil- ler, on offense, was also one of our most valuable players, being the second leading rusher and scorer The team relied on Miller in short yardage situa- tions to pound through the line. The offensive line also was outstanding, moving out people con- sistently and opening holes for the runners. ' Quarterback Marcus Tally, who replaced Timmy Rob- inson in mid- season, had an easy job of it, only liaving to hand off to Walker and Miller. Rodney Williams also performed v ell at quarterback. On. defense it was a team effort all the way. When lineman Don Cis trunk and Larry Wirsig weren ' t ma- king great tackles, the linebackers gave opposing players liits to remember. Tne secondary rarely got a chance to tackle anyone but capitalized on opportunities by intercepting 2 passes. Tlie season started out in grand season with a scrimmage against the California School for the Deaf. With everyone playing, W.C. romped to a 35-0 win. Tne second game was a struggle against Redwood in San Francisco, as the Jackets repeatedly made errors that helped the opposition ' s cause. But superior talent overcame the inexperience and we won 6-0. The next game against Woodland was easier. On the second play from scrimmage. Miller broke free down the left sideline and was tackled on the two yard line. Walker took it in from there. From theji on it was a whip, W.C. winning 28-8. The game against Terra Linda was probably the biggest win of the year. Coach Mendoza told the team that the opposing Coach called up to say they would blow us out. psyched uf t -v ' went out and whip- ped them, 32-7. As expected, the next game was sort of a let- down. On a gloomy day in Alameda against Encinal, W.C. started slowly and never really got on track. But W.C. won despite it, 22-0. Tlie season ended fantastically against Sales- ian. Playing everone in the free for all, W.C. won 48-0. It was a great finish to a great season.
