Young team’s future looks good Next to the youngest varsity baseball team in EFMHS's history with only four seniors, this year's squad even brought four sophomores up to the varsity program. Not only did Coach Siler express his pleasure with the sophomores, but as statistic- ian I also saw in their good performances a lack of the usual upperclassmen pressure. They were able to be loose and relaxed during a game. A young team every couple of years better prepares the younger athlete to fill his role when his senior year arrives. Forcing the best of the younger players into Senior letterman stays in form as contact with the Memorial-Central toa Foster his bat makes ball at the game. Letterman and et eae Doug Stone hurls the ball towards a Central batter. The Char- gers came away with victories in both battles with the city rival during the year. 6 Varsity Baseball harder level baseball will produce an outstanding team in future years. This team really worked. These players have been together through Little League and know each one's moods, moves and plays. They have executed many doubtful plays only because of their confidence in teammates. The 1984 Chargers exper- ienced several nice achiev- ements this year. Two vol- unteer coaches, Mr. Don Pontius and Mr. Joe Barone, have helped a great deal. Mr. Barone even shaved off his beard to follow the hair requirements of the team. And everyone appreciated the extra room on the bus when Mr. Pontius hauled the equipment in his van! The team is rather proud of the new jackets received this spring, especially during the many three or more hours of play. We beat several highly ranked schools, including Elkhart Central twice and the 1983 state champions, Fort Wayne Northrop. Overall, the 1984 season was a success and it is encouraging to think about our returning lettermen and a new | season. | | | -—-Julie Siler
