rall for strong finish The 1967 season was one of extremes. Actually, the varsity played two different seasons. Among other things, lack of experience contributed to the team's losing its first three games. But after the turmoil at the Poly game, the team jelled and went on to defeat Lowell, Lincoln. Mis- sion, and Washington: it had champion Balboa on the ropes, 19- 12, before key injuries to Jack Holleman and Rene McClain. The greatest moment of the season came against Lowell when a tremendous effort by Charles Lewis, Larry Haren, Pone Uperesa, Hilton Dillon, and Jim Quinnones stopped the Indians on the one- foot line on three successive plays. The most thrilling game of the season was against Lincoln, when the Mustangs - undefeated and rated No. 4 in the state - in- vaded Wilson stadium expecting to romp over the Warriors. The Warriors refused to cooperate and perhaps the most thrilling high school battle in S. F. history ensued. Wilson led, 7-6, 19-13, 26-30, and finally, 32-26, on the strength of fantastic play by Chuck Ferrera, Mike Baines, Larry Haren, Hilton Dillon, Pone Uperesa, Mike Williams, and Bob Klotovich. Next Wilson breezed pass Mission, 27-18, and clobbered Washington, 25- 19, in a game not as close as the score might in- dicate. At the end of the season, sports writers and players and coaches felt Wilson to be the No. 2 team in the city - the only team that probably could beat champion Balboa. Three members of the team made All-City: Baines, Dillon, and Ferrera. Next season looks good for the Warriors. Returning veterans are Jack Holleman, Pone Uperesa, and Larry Haren. Also, a host of prospects will be coming out from the junior and sophomore squads. NNN Bob Klotovich also proved to be a good blocker, as demonstrated here.

Chuck Ferrera, 5413, and Mike Baines, 387, teamed up on many exciting plays during the 1967 season. Ferrera to Baines became a familiar expression, as symbolized on the right.
