Qnnnnuewww Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head Rain delayed softball season. This year's softball season got off to a slow start because of the weather. On the way to a pre-season game, the rain started to pour down, and the bus was forced to turn around and take the players home. The varsity's softball coach, Mr. Matt Passalacqua, said at the beginning of the sea- son, that the team would do very well as long as Lori Groves pitched her best dur- ing the games. Mr. Passalacqua also said that this year's varsity team was very good and that all of the players were highly skilled. -Teri Ortega 1. Tina Lane pitches the ball. 2.

I'rn All Right Golfers swing for a better year. Mr. Howard was the coach of the golf team this year, as he has been for the past six years at C.V. I-le said we had a good, well- rounded team even though we had some beginners. The stron- gest, players were seniors Bri- an Bucher and Bill Curtin, sophomore David Bennit and freshman Mark Kluis. The rea- son they stood out was because of their experience and because they had fluid swings and good technique. The team practiced at Gold Hills three times a week to per- fect their game. Coach Howard said it's very important to prac- tice because one never plays a game the same way twice, so a player has to know what to do if he should get into a difficult situ- ation. -Shannon Webster 1.
