HarcI RoacJ To Success The Diamond Bar Softball team had a large turnout. Like many of the girls ' sports, the Softball team had an am- ple supply of experienced and talented players. Some players like junior pitchers Teresa Cherry and Lisa Herrera have played for over six years. Many of the other team members played on the Walnut Varsity and J.V. teams. Devon Schuler, junior, was also a catcher for the Wal- nut Varsity team last year. WATCHING THE PLAY, Lisa Herrera runs to third base. Lisa played first base and also pitched. AWTTH THEIR EYES ON THE BATTER. Kim Gruber and Mary Jo Noble wait for the pitch. Kim and Mary Jo were some of the more experienced players. Under the head coaching of Mr. Dan 0 ' Dell, the girls practiced long hours every day, em- phasizing different skills. Most of the players who made up the Softball team had played as a team during the summer. Junior Lisa Herrera commented, If we put in a little more effort and care, we should be a very strong team. Trying to build that strong team, Softball prac- ticed until 4:30 p.m. with an Individualized program. Having played together so long helps us function better as a team unit. — Teresa Cherry, junior There was great enthusiasm In the girls as they looked forward to a good season. Junior Kim Gruber commented, It ' s hard work, but It ' s fun with a good team. But by no means was it going to an easy season. The exper- ienced and enthusiastic Diamond Bar Girls ' Varsity Softball Teams looked toward a suc- cessful, and hopefully a good, season. I ' m looking forward to it all, commented Deanne Swift, sophomore. fl Junior Varsity Softball. From row: Krista Taylor Shelly Lcvell. Stephanie Lundstriim. Lisa Nemeth.
