Junior Varsity gears up for exciting season After long, hard tryouts and several cuts, San Gorgonio ' s JV baseball team was ready for an exciting season. They worked hard conditioning and working on their skills. The players did a good job keeping their field in excellent shape. Almost every day the team could be seen working hard and devoting their time and energy to build a better squad. In the beginning of the season, they started off very well by splitting a double header with San Bernardino High School. San G played quite well for an opening game. A lot of the players thought they would have a great team because of both their skill and enthusiasm that was demonstrated at the games. John Greswit, the head coach, and his assistants, Harold Southworth and Jerry Franklin, did a great job helping each player perform to the best of his capabilities. Jeff Solis said, It was a good season, thanks to the coaches and all of the people who came out to watch.

Player makes a difference in team ' s success San Gorgonio had an infinite number of extremely talented young athletes who made a difference in the way the athletic programs succeeded. One that stood out was captain of the Varsity Baseball team, senior Perry Amador. Perry had been playing baseball for ten seasons going on his eleventh When he was younger, he was too young to realize the interest of the game, except there was nothing else to do. Eventually he grew to love the game more each year. My mom started me in baseball when we lived in Colton. If you live in Colton, you have to play either baseball or football, or you have no friends. As far as his goals: His number one goal is to have his own World Series ring. His second goal is to be successful in everything dealing with baseball. His third goal is to try to teach others about baseball. As fa r as my career: I ' ll give it my most determined shot at the profes- sional leagues and go to school and work toward a teaching credential to become a coach. Memories he shared on San G ' s baseball team were the excite ment of hitting a grand slam, making diving cat- ches, winning games, and losing tough ones. But the most sincere memory he will always cherish is the brotherhood he shared with his teammates. The most devastating memory is the runn- ing Coach Arnold had designed for us but I ' ve never been disciplined so well in outfield and putting up batting cages to improve the program of baseball. The team was well coached by Coach Arnold and the coaching staff consisted of four new coaches. I felt our team this year played well together. The teammates I played with are just like brothers to me. Our team had a lot of talented players, like foot- ball and three year baseball letterman Roland Acevedo. Our other captain Mamie Jimenez, Steve Haight, Peter Reyes, Mike Gomez, Fernie Agundez, Larry Richards, John Nagy, John Pellow and Horace Bellamy were also very talented players on our squad this year. Perry Amador stressed his apprecia tion for Coach Arnold. The most talented player on our team was Coach Arnold. He ' s a great coach as well as a great person. As a student athlete, I ' d like to thank Coach Arnold and the whole San Gorgonio teaching staff for four memorable years at our school.
