Varsity Softball Shows Positive Abilities Full of skill and experience, is how Ms. Robison described the 1984 varsity softball team. Seventeen nnembers (which is quite a few players for a softball team) made up their team. Northview ' s toughest opponents were Workman and South Hills. Workman was 1 in C.I.F. in ' 83 and South Hills was 1 in ' 82. The top 3 C.I.F. teams are in the Covina dis- trict. The main reason the teams are so good is because of their pitching (which can ac- count for 60%-90% of the game, depending on the pitcher). Some of the pitchers from these and other close schools go to special pitching schools, which are very expensive. Ms. Robison stated. Hitting was our wea- kest point, but our need to build our self- confidence was a deep blemish on our team ' s abilities. They also had to learn how to win in order to discontinue blaming each other for failure. After receiving the ball. Donna Harriman jumps up to get a better view of her oppo nents ' positions. Stefanie Chamberlain swings with all her strength in hope for a run. (•wJU f « ' 4a A FRONT ROW: Lori Brown, Jody Richards. Jeanne ro a. Pam Leftrict. Ilene Zuder BACK ROW; Stefanie Gerard.
