Young Knights Construct Solid Defensive Walls ig bad Esperanza re- ' ceived their bumps and bruises from a young impu- dent Knight softball teanr ln a game that was finally de- cided in the last inning when Deanne Cox drove in her double play partner, short- stop Julie Standering. The game ended with Katella winning 3-2. The real excite- ment came when Cherie Gardner singled, Sparky Cox followed with a single, and Spanky Standering bunted aboard to jam the bases. And then Becky Ja- cobson, just a Freshman, slashed a single to drive in two runs. Standering turned out to be one of the defensive stars of the game, as she started a double play with the bases loaded and relieved to save the game for Deanne Cox. The girls had a 3-13 sea- son which is not too bad when one considers that eight girls on the team were either Frosh. or Sophomores. This year's team was very strong in the defensive de- partment. In fact it has been said that Spanky Standering and Sparky Cox form the best double play combo in the league. They've turned six during the season. The team suffered only one serious setback during the year and that occurred when Julie Ramiriz split her pitching hand against Loara and the wound required eight stitches. On a positive beat Julie Standering has been chosen to join a USA team and play in Hong Kong. Znd. baseman Deanne Cox ge Sophomore cranks up the windmill. Nady I0 80 I0 bal- ,gf 'I5O THE PLAYERS

Badminton Captures lllustrious Empire League Title One of the more little known sports at Katella, yet one that is growing in popularity is Badminton. For the second consecutive year this team has captured an illustrious, and much sought after. Empire League title to bring back to Katella. Along with a league title, they were also a strong favorite and one ofthe top ceded teams in C.l.F. Both the high and the low point of the season came against our archrivals, Kennedy. The first time we met. the Irish downed the Knights to capture first place in the league. But we waited patient- ly for the rematch. When we met again Katella fought and clawed, slowly coming out ofthe match with a winning game and a share of the league crown they never relinquished. A team record dropped as Katella whipped a seemingly defense- less Anaheim High School team. 29-0, making themselves out to be juggernauts ofthe badminton world. For a team that consists of mostly underclassmen, Katella raised a number of eyebrows in 1985. To disspell the rumor of badminton being a sissy sport. wrestlers Joe Kim and Steve Pagaduan joined the team. With all this. is it any wonder why Coach Richard Grauman predicted a successful '86. - John Wu carefully follows through with his action packed swing. - Christine Fix.junior. dives at birdie for an outstanding play.
