l z JV softball finishes 2-14 season with uenthusiasmv Without much experience or any standout pitchers, the Junior Varsity softball team exceeded the expectations of Head Coach jean Agee by winning two games. I didn't think we would win any games , stated Agee. We had no player that pitched as a specialty. Even our lack of a real pitcher could have been offset, however, if we would have had strong hitters. We only had one home run hit this season, that was by Jackie Ovaninf' Agee also stated that even though the team did not win many games, the team should be commended for its enthusiasm. Although we weren't winning, the kids kept coming to practice and trying their hardest, commented Agee. 1. Joanne Lozano fouls off a pitch from a Pacifica pitcher.

Coach Cec Ponce said, I thought that we did well enough for the first year in the new Empire League, but I wasn't really satisfied with the outcome. This is the first year we didn't go to CIF. The Aztecs have consistently won league cham- pionships and entered CIF play-offs up until this year. The Aztecs final record was 11-9. junior Mi- chele Crisanti, a two year JV player and one year Varsity player, said, We have a lot of talent and should of gone to CIF. There seemed to be more competition in the Empire League. Most of the teams were really good but not one specific team really stood out. We could have done better, if everyone would have been there all of the time,', said senior Linda Zucherro commenting on the injuries and illnesses that plagued the team. Zucherro agreed with Crisanti that there was more competition than usual. ga- .- VW?
