Coach Tom Fuller was at a loss for words after losing the first four games straight when he had expected his team to be one of the best in the city. The talent was there, but batting slumps and errors plagued the team. The only consistent batter was Kevin Intagliata, who finished with .3'75. The Cards lost the first game in sec- tionals to Rossford, and their final record was a lowly 8-14. There were many highlights, such as the last inning comeback against Woodmore, which produced six runs and a 9-8 win, and the Cards' 2,0-5 bombing of Scott. Coach Fuller had been realistic about the talent of the teamg that was shown when five play- ers were recognized in the city. Kevin Intagliata won first-team all-city at third base, and Steve Hudzinski, Da.n Johnson, Mike Ortiz and Paul Filka won all-city honorable mention. Team award winners were led by Kevin Intagliata, gaining the MVP a.nd having the highest batting average. 'I'he most improved award went to John McQuea.ry, and Dan Johnson re- ceived the golden glove award. The pitcher with the highest ERA was Dan Johnson with 3.52. vrwptwln was !'

The JV team will be remembered for a great season record of I5-5, but even more so for a great second-place finish in the city championship. The team had a balance of talent, from the quick speed of Loren Brown and Andy Gargac to the rebounding of DeLeath Hill, Ryan Belinske and Andy Gargac, to the shooting of Mike Gla- dieux. The JV s started the season winning seven straight and went on to become I4-2. with only three regular games remaining. Stritch needed one league Win to go to the championship. After the loss to Scott, they beat Central by one to ensure their place in the finals. The game against Scott, at UT's Centennial Hall, was a thriller from the start. But Stritch lost by a mere point to become city runners-up. When they returned to Stritch after the game, however, they received a champions reception. DeLeath Hill had the best field goal percentage with 5296 and J eff Gajdos- tik had the best free throw percentage with 69'7o. Rob Urbanowicz had the most assists with 66. DeLeath Hill had the most rebounds with 154. VARSITY GOES 8-12 The varsity didn't have a great sea- son this year, but they did have a good record outside of league competition, winning six of eight. In the city, they finished a poor 2.-IO. The team was guided by Head Coach Pat McGhee, the youngest coach in the league. This was his first year as a head coach, but he took command like a veteran, using his players well. One player who excelled was Tom Lynn. He could shoot well and drive the basket aggressively. Twice, he made the shot at the final buzzer to give Stritch the victory. Art Billups took care of ball control, while Dave Hodge, Keith Scott, and Scott Sampsell covered the boards. Scott Sylak played often also as a defensive aggressor. Tom Lynn had the best field goal percentage with 48.9'7u and the best free throw percentage with '?4.'79b. Keith Scott's 166 rebounds and Art Billups' 99 assists were the most in each category. Scott Sylak won the Mr. Hustle award. In the district AP poll, Tom Lynn won special mention, while Keith Scott and Art Billups earned honorable mention. Tom Lynn andArt Billups both received honorable men- tion in the district coaches poll and honorable mention, all-city. Above right: Deep ui concentration is llead Couch Pat Mcl Elise.
