The girls basketball team had a longer season this year, but the outcome was just as interesting as last year. The squad consisted of seven seniors, and some fantastic under classmen. After a long hard tryout, only fifteen gifted girls out of many were chosen. Coach Jim Wilson, leader of the varsity team was very close in keeping track of the girls advancements. He also kept the team well spirited. The junior junior varsity team was equally close as the varsity team. They watched and followed the path of the varsity team to gain the togetherness of a real team. The coach of the j.v. team was Joanna Burton, who directed the girls through a great season.

Varsity Baseball excelled again this year after taking third in the state tournament last season. This success was attributed to the efforts of the entire squad mostly returning seniors. Practice began in January, two months before the first game. The boys trained extensively on and off the field. Throughout the spring the team conditioned by running and lifting weights. Coach Chuck O’Connor is a veteran coach at Apollo. Coach O’Connor started coaching at Apollo ten years ago. He is the school’s first and only varsity baseball coach. The captains of the team were Chris Zink, third baseman, and Mike Castro, center fielder. Goals were set, dreams were fulfilled and honor was present at every game. 247
