Baseball The 1979 baseball team got off to an all new start this year; a new coach-Mr. Tom Lonergan, and four first year players- senior Janice Reeher, and freshmen Doug Rodgers, Tim Crawford, and John Janowski. Janice also made Jewell history by being the first girl to play on the baseball team. The remainder of the team consisted of returning lettermen Mark Jackson, Scott Frazier, Don Irvine, Dean Foster, Ward Vandehey. James Reeher was manager of the team and Donna Reeher and Debbi Wood were stats keeper and scorekeeper. Although the team had nine members, some games found them short on players. This problem was overcome by borrowing players from the opposing non-league teams. Contrary to the previous bus trips that had the girls serenading the boys with songs, baseball trips had the boys singing instead. Twenty-one games were scheduled this year, and they managed to get in 16 games, five of which were played as scheduled. Mark Jackson led the team with his .468 batting average and six home runs. Scott Frazier led the team in steals with 10. Mark Jackson, Scott Frazier, and Don Irvine were elected to 'first team all league.’ Dean Foster received an honorable mention. Baseball awards, voted for by the team, named Don Irvine 'best pitcher’ 'Golden Glove', Mark Jackson 'Most Valuable' best hitter', Janice Reeher 'Most Inspirational,' Tim Crawford 'Most Improved' and Ward Vandehey was 'Mr. Hustle.' 1-Coach Lonergan watches the batter intensively. 2-Doug Rodgers fires the ball to first base. 24 Baseball

Four 8th graders, Lynda Adamson, Joan Layman, Michelle Portrey, and Dawn Smith, along with 7th graders, Linda Casad, Vicki Lowe, Brenda Morgan, Lisa Rinkes, and Julie Tunnell, went out for the team. The girls, coached by Miss Alice Crino, combined their talents to participate in eight games, losing one of those games in over-time. Throughout the season, the girls displayed true examples of team work and hustle, but most of all, they had a good time and learned about playing basketball. They celebrated the end of their season with a pizza party, compliments of Mr. and Mrs. David Morgan, and a congratulatory cake from the PTO.
