He was noted to say, Varsity is a strong team I think we have a good ch ance to make it to the playoffs for the first time in five years. Although their preseason record was 1 in 3, Varsity had a good season. Coach Park encouraged his players to their greatest potential. There are many outstanding play- ers on the awesome team. Tney in- clude Joey Saenz, the number one pitcher of the team, Donnie South- er land, the best all-around player, Roy Tavui, best hustling player, and Angelo Martinez, the short-stop who is considered potential major league material.
