THE WILSON SIGNAL CALLER WAS NOT WITHOUT OPPOSITION FOR 'THE MVP HONOR. WES WALKER, COACH GENE VOLLNOGLE'S TALENTED END ON THE CITY CHAMPION CARSON ELEVEN AND FRANK QUINONES, QB FOR RAY VERNOY AT HUNTINGTON PARK, ALSO RECEIVED SUPPORT. THE REMARKABLE PASSING RECORD OF THE 6-3, I80-P0UND SENIOR FROM WILSON FINALLY PRE VAILED, AND HIS STATISTICS ARE PHENOMENAL. Randy Garcia completed 144 passes for 2,354 yards and 26 touchdowns during the Wilson Mules' 10-1 season, fashioning a 57*4 completion percentage. He had 10 aerials intercepted of 249 thrown. He rushed for 132 yards and six touchdowns. Garcia's ooach, Vio Cucoia, passes along some high-powered quotes from prep and collegiate coaches: "Randy is the best I have seen. Much better than last year's Player of the Year Vinoe Ferragamo" "The best QB prospect I have seen in the United States this year" "He's our No. 1 high school pick in the U.S. He's even better than Plunkett and Bunce and I recruited them both". Besides being such a remarkable passer, Garcia was his team's top punter, field goal kicker and PAT man. He led Wilson High to a perfect 8-0 league season and through two playoff rounds, before Carson scored a 14-7 victory in the semis. Coach Cuccia's Mules averaged 30 points per contest and allowed a mere five. Only seven points were scored against Wilson in league play.
