Competition and Motivation icture a baseball field. The bases are loaded. The score is close, and it's the last inning. The intense situation causes the pitcher to quiver and sweat. Then, with a burst of energy, he throws the ball. The crowd is silent. The umpire yells, Strike Onelf' You're out! The crowd goes into a frenzy. The loud speaker shouts, Diamond Bar has won 4 to 3. This was the kind of action experienced by the JV and Freshmen baseball teams. Under the direction of Freshmen coach Terry Roche and JV coach Paul Shirota, players worked long hours to achieve great expectations and great moments like the one described above. An average day of practice consisted of: stretching, outfield relays, bunt defense, hitting and base running. lt's a lot of hard work, but the feeling of knowing that l have done my best has made me feel really good, com- l'm really glad that l have gotten into baseball because it not only lets me have fun but also shows me discipline and the meaning of hard workf, Replied Tyler Snow. mented Ji-mmy Doyle. To prepare for games, the team practiced for two to three hours every- day, When asked why he plays baseball, Tyler Snow, a freshmen replied, l like playing because l like competition and the hard work that goes with it. lt is a great feeling knowing that l have accomplished something at my best. When asked about motivation, Terry Roche Replied, l feel really lucky that all my kids are always motivated. They really work hard and play really competitive games. ln closing, Shirota added, I think it's great that kids are motivated young to learn about good sportsmanship and competition. wh. .sg Anthony J.

The triple jump took much coordination. Determination described our track team.
