After a successful fall and winter, San Gorgonio geared up in hopes of an equally successful spring, with baseball, Softball, swimming, diving, and boys ' tennis on schedule. Opening with a disappointing 5-5 tie against San Bernardino High School, Spartan varsity baseball used a scratch offense (one that uses stolen bases, bunts, hitandruns. and sacrifice flies) along with an excellent defense to hopefully produce a CBL championship. They came extremely close, baffling Pacific with their jackrabbit style. On the other side there was Softball. Relying on defensive work heavily, senior pitcher Tracy Webber took command but the Spartans also fell short of a CBL crown. Swimming and diving were disappointing. Very few highlights could be found as San G tried again to improve on one of their weaker sports. Following their opening matches being cancelled due to rain took its toll on boys ' tennis. A relatively young sport for San Gorgonio, the team was looking for an overall better team maturity. An overall success, San G did not shine as bright as in fall in winter, however. But in the near future the Spartans soon would dominate in spring sports as well. James Curran, class of ' 86

Tennis players display talent The 1982-83 Tennis team consisted of twenty-five members. Of these members, eleven were members of the San Gorgonio Varsity Tennis team. Although the rain caused some problems during the matches, the team played tough and to the best of their ability. When some of the players were asked what they dreaded most, a few said they hated riding the bus to away matches. The Tennis team met early in the year for a few important meetings to discuss plans for the upcoming season. These meetings gave the players and Coach Powell a chance to meet each other, since he was a new coach to the team. Practice, a long grueling running experience, was held every weekday. Practice started at 2:00 sharp. Every player on the team had to run three miles, which usually took thirty minutes. During practice, the team worked on volleying, getting down their strokes and getting their serve in the proper spot. There were many talented players on the team. In singles, Jeff Robinson, Paul Scholl, Susik Lee and Tim Toth did a superb job for the team. In doubles, Dave Coldren, Steve Schmidt, John Jure and Todd Stewart also teamed up for an excellent job. Coach Powell commented, All the boys endured and tried hard. I think we made some real improvement. Above right: Susik Lee warms up before a match by practicing his serve.
