Team spirit soared high, thanks to the new home field. lt was a great community ef- fort, Coach Steve Chapman said. Parents, the Booster Club, local businesses and others from the Corpus Christi area helped make the completion of the field pos- sible, by donating time, effort, tools and by giving discounts to the school. As of February 19 the players hadn't been able to practice on the infield because of some bare spots in the grass. However, as soon as the grass grew the team began practicing on the infield. The completion of the field was made possible by the efforts of many Booster Club members and parents. l. A lot of parents really worked hard and it's really nice, Clay Pfluger, varsity baseball player, said. Clay, like the other team mem- bers, was looking forward to a successful season. We thought we'd be losing out in pitching since Bobby fGarcial is not here. He was our star pitch- er last year, but we made it up and are doing great, Tommy No- ble said. Coach Chapman and the play- ers all felt that having a homefield advantage helped out. It'll make a difference. We were only allowed four practices a year at Oilbelt, Chapman said. Because of all of the effort and teamwork between the players and parents there was no way that the team could have had a losing season. l l vv y r v ,.,,. ...

, K it and Miss The making of a dedicated athlete could be found on and off the court, but often over- looked were the junior varsity and freshman teams Where dedicated athletes got their start. Since the top athletes Were placed on the varsity squad, the junior varsity and freshman teams often consisted of the less experienced players. The var- sity received all the recognition while the IV and freshman played to virtually empty stands. Although they played to emp- ty stands, both teams walked away with Winning seasons. The IV round out the season with a 4-3 district record and the freshman had a 5-2 district re- cord. The IV and freshman coped with the loss of the more ad- vanced and experienced play- ers and continued to strive for that winning season and the po- sition on the varsity squad.
