Junior Varsity Wrestling I verybody knows that the Varsity Wrestling team had an awesome year, but what most people don't realize is that the JV Wrestling squad dominatedlopponents even more thoroughly. Without a tremendous JV program year in and year out, the wrestling program couldn't be insured of success. Almost every successful wrestler at Jesuit began on the JV team Each year Fr. Peter Callery, S.J. recruits a large assort- ment of prospective grapplers to try out for the wrestling team. The hard work that the wrestlers go through at every practice could rival that of any other athletic team. The work has its rewards, however. This year's team was able to compile an almost perfect record against some stiff compe- tition. The squad easily overpowered such opponents as Tampa Catholic, Springsteacl, and Plant. Many outstanding JV wrestlers are expected to make outstanding contributions to the varsity next year. Junior Mark Smith had an excellent year and often wrestled at the varsity level this year. Sophomore Mike Finger was nearly unstoppable at the JV level and figures to move into a spot on the varsity due to the loss of graduating seniors. Junior Richard Solomon also had a tremendous season and will greatly contribute next year at the varsity level. Next year's JV team will most likely be strong like this year 's due to the return of several freshmen and sophomores as well incom- ing freshmen recruited by Fr. Callery. Back Points.

Varsity Baseball ne sport that was not supposed to have a good season was baseball. All doubts about the squad's ability were erased with a fine season, however. First year coach John Crumbley did what no one thought he could do by putting together one of the best teams in the county, bar none. The highly successful season was achieved against a murderous schedule. The Tigers were able to play anybody close due to their surprisingly great pitching. Junior Charlie Seoane was usually called upon to pitch against the best teams. The two senior pitchers were both left-handers that saw a lot of action. They were George Pollock and Lee Mezrah, and they both could be counted on as starters or relievers. The surprise of the staff was junior Eric Luallen, who at the end of the year was the staff's hottest pitcher. The Tiger offense was characterized by speed and hustle. The team's top hitter was shortstop Scott Maciejewski. He was also a member of the strong double-play combination with junior second baseman John Marc Tamayo. Third base was held down by senior Rafael Couret, and Jose Barreiro spent a lot of time at first base. Junior Faustino Dominguez and senior Javier Baldor anchored down the powerful outfield that could throw out runners as well as rack up base hits. Countless others contributed greatly to the excellent success of the 1985 baseball team. The future of baseball at Jesuit indeed looks bright for all concerned. A Lonely Figure.
