Morrow Leads Varsity Cross Country Team The Varsity Cross Country team started off its season this yeai with a big upset over Hawthorne, 27-28, defying pre-season C.I.F. ratings. They proceeded to take the championship at the big West- minister Invitational. All this preceeded league action where the Varsity took fourth over all in the Ocean League. Junior Mark Morrow was outstanding, completing the season with first place in all but one dual meet and placing high in all invitationals. Morrow tied Mike Sellers ' all time home course record of 9:23. Placing first in the league, Morrow went on to C.I.F. representing the Ocean League.

Frosh Better Than Record The season record of four wins and five losses is a very deceiving statistic when reviewing the 1971 Freshman Football team. The young Warriors had some very close games including the games against North and Bishop Montgomery where a blocked punt in each game made the difference. Other close ones were against Hawthorne and Culver City where one or two plays could have turned the tables. The freshman had a strong defense. Several of the defensive standouts were Jim Reece, middle linebacker, Steve Zak, strong end, Gary Mimura, guard, and the entire backfield of Mike Farrell, Scott Walker, and Frank Fidelli. This team also possessed an explosive passing offense. The offensive unit had one of the best freshman passing games in the area. The combination of quarterback Chuck Comeaux and end Steve Zak was good for eight touchdowns. Other key receivers were Frank Fidelli, Jim Reece, and Scott Walker. - Row One (top): Coach Bob Costa, Coach Tom Komp, Coach Mark Knox.
