Soccer Team Reaches CIF This years varsity soccer team boasted a fine 13-3-4 record throughout the pre-season and regular season play. The Warrior team tied for the championship of the extremely tough Western S occer League One highlight of the season was the Christmas Tournament West won the largest high school soccer tournament ever held in the United States by defeating such strong teams as Chino. Dominguez. Culver City, and Cathedral The Warriors were lead by team captain David Atkinson whose seven goals and numerous assists helped to turn the tide on many occasions. Pete Frederickson, who was unquestionably the most valuable player, lead the team with twenty-seven goals and six assists. The defense was centered on sophomores Jim Brown, and Russell DeFord, who along with Tom Avoian. Brian Moore, and Steve Thomas allowed only twenty- six goals throughout the season. Following their First place tie in the Western League, the Warriors moved into CIF championship competition. Taking a bye in the first round, the varsity moved into the second round but were defeated, 4-2, by Cathedral. Coach Eaton said, Based on the fact that this years team started four sophomores and the fact that the junior varsity was almost entirely composed of sophomores, the future of West High soccer appears to be more than bright.
