The 1979-80 Varsity Softball team excelled this year with a 20 win • 4 loss record. The team progressed to post season play where they took the Skyline Division trophy for the first time. The squad then advanced to State where they bowed to McClin- tock in the semi-finals 2-1. Their season ended taking third place in state. The team established a new state record by scoring nineteen runs in a single inning in their game against Glendale with a final score of 35-0. The spirit of the team was tremondous with activities, such as secret sisters, dinners before game days and crazy gifts made the team closer. Guidance was a major factor in the team’s success. Apollo had the number one example of a good coach. Miss Thelma Keith was chosen Softball Coach of the Year. The team knew she was special from the beginning of the season. This year’s team consisted of four quad-letter girls: Lisa Stuck, Helen Andrade, Susan Crabtree, and Peggy Amaril- las.
