Mac's Men Fr Opponents Domination Stands Continuing along in one of Katella's stronger lasting athletic program's tradition. the Varsity Baseball put together what was incredibly destructive to any and all opposing tteams. After a poor start the Knights seemingly got their act together and took it on the road. making other Empire League teams rather squeemish at seeing Katella listed on their schedule. At the Loara Tournament. before Katella began to realize their potential, they were knocked out fast and painlessly by teams that simply seemed to overwhelm the dormant Katella attack. But instead of being down on themselves they picked themselves up, dusted offa bit. and roared into the Santa Ana Elks Tourney, There they stormed through to capture the second place trophy. They then proceeded to have a ten game winning streak overwhelming opposing teams left and right. When the dust finally settled at the end, the Knights had chalked up an over all mark of 14-5, and a league mark of9-Z. to capture a bentch in C.l.F. Also. 84-85 was the Knights best finish since l980. with the help of pitchers Chris Doll till and Jerry George C8421 To put it as simply as possible. the '85 Knights has set the standard for all Katella teams to meet.
