Sun brightens chances for a Varsity victory The WCAL was bound to have a big sur- rise with this year's Varsity Boy's Base- all team. Everything was in favor of the eam. Practice started early with the leasantly mild weather in January. The two est pitchers, junior Mark Demsky and se- ior Kevin Christman, returned, along with any talented players, and the team was eared up for the year, Last year, the team missed being in CCS y only a half game. lf one game hadnt nded in a tie, the team would have made he playoffs. This year's team felt confident bout making the playoffs. Coach Bill Hut- on was proud of having such depth with killed players. 'There are sixteen players on the team, nd all sixteen are good, he commented Players agreed. Hutton could take the people who don't put them in the game, and our team be just as effective, said Demsky whose personal goal was to be named All League CCS. Most of all, the team drew on the spirit needed to have a successful season. Hut- ton felt there was a great deal of enthusiasm among the players. The team too, felt spirit was an essential factor. Everyone encour- aged each other, and as Demsky said, when one person is down another person will pick them up right away. Rich McLaughlin remembered an inci- dent when the players were really united. The team had gone on a ropes course where they had to get over a twenty-foot wall with only the help of each other. Mclaughlin felt they really worked together and showed unity. All in all, Varsity Baseball was prepared for a successful season, hoping to be the surprise team of speculated Demsky. - Niyo Kachalia - 'rlfoneuf' s fini' i E i NNARCI-lS V Rich McLaughlin tabovel drills the ball to first to stop an opposing runner.
