Players strive for honors in district Aiming high in the begin- ning of the season, the junior varsity baseball team worked to win the district champi- onship. It took dedication in order for them to come close to this goal, but they seemed to have the ability to get what they strived for. We had a good team to work with and I think that it had a lot to do with the way we played. If we keep up the hard work then I think that we could win district, soph- omore Daniel Calderon said. After report cards came out there were those unlucky few who could not continue to play on the team, but this did not hurt the morale of the team. They continued to im- prove with the players who were still on the team. The first six weeks inel- igibility hurt our team. We lost some of our best players. After that we knew that we had our work cut out for us if we wanted to succeed, jun- ior Chris Cruz said. Even though the team had troubles they never quit. They kept going and doing their best. The coaches kept pushing us and telling us not to quit just because a few guys were gone, freshmen Lee Gutier- rez said. Overall the season taught the players unity and determinination. And it was no secret that they were al- ways a team to contend with. .Sending the ball to first base to get a Johnson Ram player, out sophomore Danny Rodriquez hopes to end the inning with his play.
