Coach Cec Ponce blamed the bad record on poor pitching and the tougher Empire League. Yeah, pitching was our main problem. Without good pitching a lot of things seemed to go wrong. Another reason we had a bad year was because we were in a very strong league. The Aztecs switched from the less competitive, weaker Orange League to the Empire League at the start of the 1981-82 school year. Ponce looks forward to seein an im rovement in next ear's S P Y season. Next year's team will be very young with the exception of one or two seniors who may move to the varsity from the JV. Returning to the program will be the junior Lozano twins, Corinne and Joanne, the Ovanin twins, Jackie and Joey, fresh- man Gina Pachiano and the outstanding pitcher Andrea Love- land. 1.

JV Softball ends dismal 2-12 season Blaming their awful record on a lack of pitching ability and an inexperienced team, Coach Jean Agee also blamed the tougher Empire League competition for the dismal season. Ending the season with only two wins and twelve losses the JV Softball team did not enter Empire League playoffs. I think the one player who excelled greatly was Melanie Lubanko. She was the one we could count on to come through for us. Overall, the varsity team should have a good chance due to the returning players, said Agee. Many of the JV players will be promoted to the varsity level for the 1984 season. Both Agee and Varsity Coach Cec Ponce plan to cultivate a pitching squad, the one area where obvious work is needed on both squads. We predict to have a strong team in a couple of years due to the young players we have to work with, commented Ponce. I think I gained experience this year. I also learned a lot. I learned this is a very tough league, said junior Joanne Lozano. 1. Junior Corinne Lozano shoots in another pitch to strike out her opponent. She and twin Joanne are outstanding members of the team. 2. Shortstop Dena Mozano attempts to field a ground ball. Mozano is backed up by Kim Sawyer. iijvsgiftaill I J ,Ei ,Dorado .
