zagbf! arsity softball has improved in numerous ways since last year Head Coach Vince Marchese believes that the varsity's pitching and defense are superb this season, however he would like to strengthen their hitting game. Marchese's goal at the beginning of the season was to make divisional and state playoffs, but now his goals for the coming seasons are to continue the winning season of the past two years and establish more team unity and commitment. According to Marchese, keeping up his team's morale is tough. With 15 distinct personalities that compose the team, he relies on the player's own self-motivation. Generally he believes that they do a good job of doing so. Senior Stacey Frate is one of the top pitchers in the league, has been of- fered many athletic scholarships.

Marchese feels that the facilities are improving every year. He feels that because of the earliness of the games C3:45J most students have prior commitments. He says parents provide a good amount of support. Marchese expects good things from the softball program in the next few years. He sees a solid JV and a very energetic freshman group. During the off season, Marchese attempts to get the players involved in City League if their individual schedule permits. Following through on a base hit is sophomore, Heather Shannon. Just before hitting the ball is senior Lisa Follett.
