eeping the winning tradition alive Under the direction of the varsity Eoach and junior varsity coach Dan 'Dell, the I.V. softball had a 6-4 ecord at press time, Coach Dan O'Dell stated, I elieve my girls have come a long ay since the beginning of the I eason, and I was proud of each and very one of them. Their goals were o have a successful season, and most importantly to have gained an ,experience in the sport of softball. bi Their only problem was the lack fin experience and leadership, ac- icording to Coach O'Dell. The team consisted mostly of sophomores and hree freshmen. The team's top- ' layers were Shannon Steck, 1Christie Fudge, and Denise Reda. 1 ft f- 't1f'T'AfT. X F' '.-J - ' 'A ,T 'fit ' Mfplpuv- , ..

' Thersa Zalewaski, a member of the I.V.-team explained, This year was my first year on the team, and I've gained so much. I planned on trying out for the next season's team, that will be some serious competition. This year was quite strong and will really surprise us, as a varsity team. Denise Reda joked about it, It was quite the season. I thought for sure we'd be just terrible in the last game with Walnut, but surprisingly, we showed them. I plan to try out for varsity, Who knows what we have in store for us next? The accomplishments achieved by these girls prepared the junior varsity girls for the real thing, varsity status. It meant a whole lot knowing that Coach O'Dell was teaching the same techniques to his I.V. softball team that he focused on with the varsity team. 6 in ,, , I ,, ..-vb -V f Bassuk ,if ,, ,W H, H.. e.wL '7'r9W1Iff7fk...f, K , ., ., . , ' ' '- ' ' ' 'kt 7- 11 - -, .
