Last year, the Sailors finished 7-4, 2-3 in the Sea View League and were eliminated in the first round of the CIF Southern Sec- tion Division VI playoffs by eventual champion Los Altos. But 14 seniors graduated from that team. Gone are Orange County All-Stars Matt Encinias, a tailback, and defen- sive lineman Mark Temple. Also gone are Daily Pilot Dream Team defensive tackle Austin Nieto and all-league offensive lineman Nick Watkins. Coach Jeff Brinkley too worried, though, because he be- lieves he has the personnel to take the Tars to the CIF playoffs for the fifth consecutive year.

coaching philosophy is to teach the players how to work hard, because success will come if you work he said. try to put the players in a posi- tion where they can be success- Even though star talent has left, star talent remains. Spencer Link, last New- port-Mesa Player of the Year, re- turns for his senior year after he led the Sailors with 55 catches for 977 yards and 15 touch- downs. Throwing to him will be Kasey Peters, who finished 69 of 125 for 936 yards and 13 scores, de- spite being sidelined by a bro- ken collarbone in the seventh game. And if Peters goes down again says the senior sig- nal caller had a great summer session without any problems Tom Jackson returns as the backup.

Jackson threw for 739 yards in four games, includ- ing a four-touchdown, 257-yard performance against Wood- bridge. Trevor Theriot returns as the top fullback. As a junior last year, the 6-foot-1, 225-pounder paved the way for Encinias to rush for 1,308 yards. Theriot ended the season as the second most productive rusher, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, slightly behind clip of 5.3 per attempt. The offense will be without the services of senior receiver Taylor Young for the opening game.

Young, who was second on the team with 21 receptions for 272 yards, has been limited in his summer participation be- cause of a broken ankle he suf- fered in summer basketball. Young wears a boot to stabilize the ankle and can not run, but has been practicing catching the ball. Brinkley said he is not concerned that injury will hurt the offense. strength of this offense Sailors in reload mode MARK C. DUSTIN DAILY PILOT Senior Spencer Link makes a leaping catch in practice.
