                  year’s team in scoring.
                  Carrell  scored 23 goals
                  breaking a record previ­
                  ously set by Craig

            &
                  was the best team that
                  I’ve played on here at
                  Ralston,  even though
                  other years have had
                  much more talent.”  Car­
                  rell  said much of
                 Ralston’s success can be
                 credited to the many
                  saves by senior goal­
                 keeper Kent Bonham.
                 “Kent was a great asset
                 to the team,” Carrell
