lengthy consolidation motion that could result in a joint trial of both three-murder cases against David Allen Lucas. Deputy District Attorney Daniel Williams is expected to call more than 30 witnesses, primarily investi- gators, in an attempt to convince Kennedy that the circumstances of the six killings and one attempted murder are similar enough to war- rant a single trial. Lucas' attorneys, Steven Feldman and Alex Landon, are opposing the consolidation. In one case, now before Kennedy, Lucas, 30, is charged with murdering Suzanne Jacobs, 31, and her son, Colin, 3, on May 4, 1979, in their Nor- mal Heights home; and murdering real-estate saleswoman Gayle Gar- cia, 29, on Dec. 8, 1981. in a Spring Valley home she was showing to pro- spective renters. In the other case, Lucas is charged with murdering Rhonda Strang, 24, and a child she was baby-sitting, Amber Fisher, 3, on Oct. 23, 1984, in Strang's Lakeside home; murdering Uni~rsit,Jul! San Diego student Anne/ Catherine Swanke, 22, who was last seen alive Nov. 20, 1984, walking toward her disabled vehicle carrying a can of gasoline on Parkway Drive in La Mesa; and kidnapping and at- tempting to murder Jody Santiago, 34, a Seattle woman who survived a throat slashing, skull fracture and stab wounds June 9, 1984. /

it quits as vo le all coach after 12 years. In her tenure, Mitchell built the most successful of all sports programs at El Cajon . Valley. Monte Vista High coach Pat Forsberg rolled up her volleyball net for the last time, announcing an end to her 21- year career. She won a pair of league championships there, and masterminded a 34-match consecutive league winning streak from I979-81 that still stands as a record today,. though Grossmont could topple that mark next fall. University of San Diego basketball star Debbie Theroux concluded her career by scoring her l,0OOth point - the first Torera ever to do it. And she claimed the honor in only three seasons, playing her freshman year at Grossmont College. It was a pretty good ye!lr for basketball players. Theroux fared well at USD. Santana graduate Missy Rand concluded a good four-year career with nationally ranked Long Beach State and now is a graduate assistant coach there. And Grossmont College graduate Laura Mars, who at one time seemed to have finished her career with a serious knee injury, made a comeback with 25 points per game for the Griffins. She now participates at Point Loma Nazarene College.

The Toreras struggled to an 0-21 finish The YSD.lmlleyball plight wasn't the saddest story involving the East County. The girls' soccer scene was hit hard in only its third year of CIF competition. El Capitan High forfeited five wins and a tie and Granite Hills lost eight wins and two ties to forfeiture due to the use of ineligible players. The most tragic moment of the entire year came when 16- year-old Eagle soccer player Laura Herron and her 13-year- old brother passed away in a car accident near the end of the season. Grossmont College had upbeat news. The Griffins are on the ver~e of starting traditions m two women's sports. The Fletcher Hills college, for the first time, had softball. And The Lady Griffins made an immediate impression despite playing most of the season with nine players. They finished second in the Pacific Coast Conference and made the state playoffs, ending their debut

A anorama of stars in '86 .._ ., W -:ZC/!.::>---5" omen

As most of us dismantled our Christmas trees. this week and hummed Auld I!,ang Syne, we bid farewell to L'986, a year that in athletics brought an end to several distinguished careers and either extended or ended several of the all-time best win streaks. Though people usually open the sports pages to locate news of their favorite football or baseball teams, girls' sports did not go unrecognized. Many all- time performances occurred in the previous 12 months. The top performance in terms of "all-time" was the tremendous success of Paula Mascari. • Wome 5B
