Young In the cold and dreary month of March a few but dedicated bunch of girls started practice for the softball season. Although the turnout was limited the talent among these girls was abundant. With only three seniors on this years team the future looks bright. Playing infield and first in the batting order was junior letterman Hollie Kozalf. Backing her up at second and third base were Barb Shafer and Chris Zawacki. A sur- prise for the season was the incredible talent of freshman Mi- chelle Patsolic, who started as first baseman and was also a clean-up hitter. The Lady Cats also sported two very talented pitchers, Senior Bonnie Buck and Iunior Dana Wil- son, who split the pitching duties for the season. Working behind the plate a good portion of the season was power hitter Barb Ehasz who got relief from Iudy Cooper and Betsy Lee. Another strong hitter and left fielder was Sherrie Macik. Top of the order hitters accord- ing to Coach Farl, were juniors Bindi Morozek and Iulie Cimino, who also played right and left cen- ter field. Although their season record wus not that dynamic, many of the games were close being lost by only one or two runs. But with the young talent on this team, next year should shape up to be a winning season. SLOW PITCH.

Although the team had a similar record to last year's team, there were many dif- ferences. Former assistant coach Iim Raymont became head coach. Dave Goree and Terr Tooz became his new assistants. The administra- tive hold ups involved hiring new coaches delayed the beginning of the season. Senior Iohn Percejus commented, We were at a disad- vantage starting later, fortunatly we worked hard and had the talent to overcome this initial obstacle. The next little problem came when an enterprising student tak- ing swimming for phys. ed., found a way to ignite the plastic obstruc- tion wimdee which was under enormous pressure. Fortunately no one was injured. Unfortunately, the team lost over a week of practice and nearly forfeited a meet UPSIDE DOWN.

Once the team got started however, there was no stopping them, They swam well in their first meets and finished non-conference competition by upsetting Hudson. Once conference competition began the team damped on everyone. The closest conference competition came from Brush which was soundly defeated by a large margin of points. The team did equally well in the CCC championship meet. Having defeated every team in the conference in the dual meets it came as no surprise when the team soundly defeated all others. The 83-84 Bearcat swimmers proved that they have both talent and endurance. By capturing the conference championship two years in a row they have set a precedent. Only time will tell how many more years they will be able to keep it up. NUMBER ONE.
