A basically young and “green” team remained with exper- ience as their top goal for the year. The junior varsity team also received a new coach. Coach John Kennedy replaced Coach Spatz. The team had a record of 5-7 and finished the season by winning the Derby Junior Varsity Tournament. Randy Kendrick, jr.. stretches to put more speed into his pitch.
