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 ,.,,. ...

Defeats it The Iunior Varsity Baseball Team had no problem proving themselves able for varsity play this year. The team beat Greg- ory-Portland without a doubt. Unlike the Varsity players, the Iunior Varsity team came away with a victory after playing Calallen's most prominent sports rival. Another outstanding win for Calallen's Iunior Varsity team was the Tuloso-Midway tourna- Making another run for the team, Tom- my Noble jogs into Home. Kami ment. When asked what the most memorable event of his '87-'88 baseball career was, Mike McCreary, freshman, an- swered, It would have to be the Tuloso tournament. Definitely. As the Iunior Varsity Baseball team finished off their year, they had many such victories to look back on. Most of them, however, were looking toward the future and their first year as varsity players. Wincing in pain. Gilbert Fuentes tries to catch the ball. f .1 ,. ':'L-fl., - .
