AWE! awer ittins! with Streneth By Jaime Aquirre Swinging into the new season was full of hard hours of prac- tice led by Coach George Ramirez and Asst. Coach Gregg Marsh. Practices were filled with many ground balls, fly's, and line drives. Hitting was practiced many times in order for our Jacket squad to hit to top quality. Pickoff plays were practiced over and over so that the ball players could get the quick out. With returning starter Steve Robertson, the Jackets had the strength in both pitching and catching. Steve was one of the teams power hitters and had a 360 batting average in the 1983 season. He was also voted second team all-league pitcher and Athl t' 1 5 Basezdzs . 'r'---f, r,,- M ik .. N ,, sf. , , 5 mf., Z ,K team captain for the third year in a row. Steve said, ln being a returning varsity athlete, l felt that l had to give team leadership and work hard to become the best at what I do. This year was a good year for our Jackets because of the sophomores that came up from the Champion Sophomore team and all the returning veterans. Second baseman and Pitcher Zeke Reyna says, this years victories had a lot to do with the Championship feeling that the juniors gave the rest of the team. Zeke was 2 and 1 in his pitching for the 1983 season and says that he likes the challenge to face a batter one on one.

Maria was the most valuable player as a sophomore and played short-stop and second base. Rachele, who played catcher, short-stop, and second base said, ln being a returning starter, I feel that the year made me even better and prepared me for my senior year. Rachele played varsity as a sophomore also. B y Jaime Aguirre Practices began and softball fever soon caught the athletes and the spectators. ln practice, the Ladys prefected their bat- ting, throwing, and team plays. All fundamentals were put together for the Jackets in their games. The softball athletes learned more and more, week after week, game after game. The Lady Jackets were able to have fun and work hard at the same time. Debbie Martinez says, this softball season was filled with many ups and downs, but it made my senior year a lot of fun!
