Hitting With Perfection he Freshman baseball team had a very good year in eighty-six. Their coach, Mr. Robles, was also a history teacher. Coach Robles said that his team was a very good group of athletes that, at the beginning of the season, did not know very much about the specific rules of baseball. They were very eager to learn and to become more competitive as athletes. He also stated, the first games were difficult, but from then on, it became a little easier. Coach Robles, final opinion of the team was, They had excellent attitudes toward learning baseball, and they were improving as individuals and as a team. 4f,iv:,,,,f,f,fa2fff?7--,AE 'f H-.imi.,'L l ' ' ' M WN. .f . ,wh I 2 1.
