It has been said that Junior N ' arsity squads are training ground for Varsit . This seemed to be true with this year ' s J. ' . Baseball team. The boys displayed great po- tential and ability, but lacked the consistency and teamwork necessary to make it work. Brad Brink had a .400 average at the plate, while Most N ' aluable, Lee Becksfort, had .300 and pitched his way to three vic- tories. Mr. Eding and the squad finished the season with a 6-10 record and de elopment of skills for next year. J.V. ' s swing away at season Left to Right— 1st row— D. Hoinsb -, H. Kraker, T. Rigterink, R.
