Moving Upward And Onward wlflir With the help of Coach Carl Sweet the junior varsity golfers are learning what has to be done to play varsity golf. Hard work and a skill for the game are two factors needed to become good players. Junior varsity golf programs have been dismissed from some Empire League schools as well as other schools throughout California. For some reason it ' s been a hard program to budget, but El Dorado has successfully continued to have two golf teams. Be- ing a sophomore and not able to make the varsity team, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to play, stated Scott Schweitzer. The team had 16 matches against non-league and league schools. They ranked second in league be- hind Esperanza. The strongest team in our league was definitely Esperanza, explained- John Marsh, because they have guys playing junior varity that could make varsity at other schools. ' The key players on this team were Scott Schweitzer. Kevin Biller. and Eric Reynolds. Other team mem- bers included John Marsh. Todd Pakulski, Steven Milcbell. and John Overland. The nicest part of the junior varsity program is most of these play varsity golf with top players in Southern California.
