With only four sen- iors, the team had to play its first few games cautiously until the J.V. players gained experience. According to Coach Huber, Until they play at varsity level, you don't know what to expect. Age and ex- perience were key factors in the varsity baseball season. The step up to varsity can be dramatic and sometimes difficult. The difficulty, according to Coach Huber, lies in the players' lack of experience. The difference between J.V. and varsity is that the caliber of the players' abilities escalates. Opponents are faster, stron- ger, and are able to pitch much harder. This is due to the age difference. Some- times you have kids that are two years older than our players, and that has a great effect on how they play. With the J.V. players gaining such valuable les- sons this season, the varsity team will have a very promising future. Center picture: J.V. Baseball.
