arsity Softball Interest in softball was apparent at try-outs. The Varsity Softball team began the season with a loss and continued in a slump that they worked to overcome. The team's concentration was bent on building an experienced defense. Experienced underclassmen proved to be an added advantage. The Varsity coach Elroy Morand felt the program was going stronger and would become an intricate part of Eastside's sports program. Involvement in softball was apparent when thirty-five people tried out for both teams, the varsity and the junior varsi- ty, combined. 1. Warming up is essential for a good day's practice, as well as a good game. 2.

J .V. Football Year was filled with inconsistencies. Under the direction of Coach John Carter, the Baby Rams held a 2-3 record. lnconsistencies left the Baby Rams with a 2-3 win-loss record. The J.V. team looked promising as they opened the season with a 6-0 win over Bradford but were demolished by a tough Pala- taka team 0-28. The Baby Rams bounced back from the loss to Palataka and handed Suwannee a 12-6 loss to up their record to 2-1. After the win over Suwannee, the Baby Rams improved on defense but couldn't create a defense to hold back the Canes of Gainesville High or the Raiders of Santa Fe. Respectively, they handed the young Ram team losses of 28-42 and 21-28. Al- though the Baby Rams only managed a 2-3 record, they gained experience and knowledge of how to act as a team.
