AFTER BEING THROWN out at first base, Laura Stevens gets some tips and pointers about how close the play was from teammate Jenny Loomis. 17-2 Record Tops SMA For JV: Soggy 6 3 Seoson For F rosh had an outstanding season this past year, finishing off with a 17-2 record overall and an 11-1 record in the SMA. They established two records, one of which was their 17-2 record and a team batting average of .402. Coach Bob Goralczyk attributed their team success to excellent talent. Along with winning the league, a termendous highlight of the season, came an upsetting moment. In regular season play, the team had beaten Kimball once and lost to them once. Kimball happens to be one of Seaholmis arch rival in every sport, including softball. The disappointing moment was when they headed off with the Knights and the Knights won. Susan Maentz received MVP, while Sarah Yntema received MIP. The Sportsmanship Award was given to Laurie Michelson. Next year's team has a tough act to follow, but good luck to the team who accepts the challenge! to this year's Freshman Girls Softball Team, quoted Coach Bill Schmidt, a two year veteran of the Freshman. Overall, the Frosh had a 6-3 record and in the SMA, they had a 3-1 record. The freshman opened up the season with a bang, beating their opponents by 20 and 10 runs. This is not unlikely for a freshman team. One of the toughest games was the second of a doubleheader against Marian. It seemed to be a Seaholm loss, but they didnit give up. It also looked like a Seaholm comeback, only to fall by one run. The biggest highlight was winning the Districts. At the end of the year, the team and Coach Schmidt voted on awards and Most Valuable Player was given to Karen Marshall. With most of these girls trying out next year, the competition will be tough, but the challenge will be graciously accepted! 0 Jvf9rH SOFTBALL 215

Seaholm's standouts were Ferdie Astorga at 98 LBS. Ferdie was 29-10 and placed lst at the districts and 4th at the regionals which qualified him for the state meet. Chris johnson, at 132 LBS., had a fine year also with a record of 20-5. Chris was Seaholmls Captain and was a strong performer. At 198 LBS., Brian Mackey had a good year with an 18-7 record Brian was injured just prior to the state meet or he 2 16 W RESTLING would have likely qualified. Pat Bray was the Maple's out- standing sophomore on the team. Bernie Chapin, Brian Grundemen and Alan Nealley were all freshmen wrestling on this year's Varsity Team. All three of them lettered and performed well. The Maple's JV Team was lead by Pete Talmers, who placed 2nd at the SMA JV League Meet. john Acherman, Tony Tisler and John Marshall were all impressive as freshmen. Mark Borman, Dan Muir, Pat johnson and Kevin Hickey have improved greatly and should contribute a great deal to next year's team. Congratulations, team and good luck next year! 0
