' 4 Everybody worked together, and Coach Cosner was great! H -Maria Franco 94 - Sports ecord-setting, spirit and overflowing talent are all adjectives that de- scribe the freshmen softball team. The team only gave up seventy-one runs, and it had the least errors, most hits, the highest batting average, the most home runs, and more stolen bases than any other freshmen softball team from Marcos, with an incredible record of 15-O-1. Their spirit and talent was overwhelming, according to Coach Cosner. Mr. Cosner also felt that every girl on the team made such an ou standing effort that there was no way t pick an outstanding player, they were a outstanding. However, Nova Dansby brok a school record for freshmen with her .62 batting average, and Tawna Porter stole 3 bases, she also broke a school recorc The freshmen even had one shutout, whic cost Coach Cosner a pizza party. Th freshmen were exciting to watch and ha more athletic ability than ever before. Freshman Softball. ROW 111: Rebecca Regalado, Tawna Porter, Shannon Benninger, Maria Franco.
