The 1979 varsity baseball team can best be summarized as a young team with fine potential. In practice games, the Lancer nine gathered wins against Chaminade, Cathedral, St. Monica and LaSalle to enter league competition with a sparkling 4-0 record. This performance marked them as a team to be reckoned with. The roster included two sophomores and seven juniors. Sophomore pitcher Jack Jasper, showing fine ability, seems destined for a good future at LHS. Other players displaying talent were Jeff Garrison, Nick Cepeda, Osberto Geno, Julio Veitia, and Gary Atherton. Coach Dan Noval, pleased with the strong pre-league showing, stated, ‘‘Each player on the roster contributes to the team’s success as a whole by incorporating hard work and self-discipline.’ As the Troubadour went to press, the JV baseball squad had a 2-2 pre-season scoreboard and one league loss to Miraleste. Achieving greater consistency was their immediate goal, and Craig Gutman and Ismael Ibarra were especially strong players. Early predictions picked the JV’s to do well in league play.

Following a slow start, the junior booters worked themselves into an outstanding group of competitors, who provided colorful and exciting action for their followers. Posting a record of 8 wins and 2 losses, the JVs finished in second place in the Pioneer League, only one point behind the strong Lawndale champions. Goalie Jorge Carrera, always a fierce competitor, had three shut outs for the year. Joining him as consistently fine players were Raul Alonso, Jonathan Cortez, Martin Ordaz, Raul Duran, Moises Lopez, Carlos Gonzalez, and Efrain Pimienta. 1. Crossing his fingers during the game is double insurance for Efrain Pimienta that luck is on his side. 2.
