JV Soph Frosh Baseball Shine Through With Class Katella's two underclassmen baseball teams, having mediocre and spectacular years, werejoined by a brand-spanking-new Freshman Team in '85. However it was the J.V, and Sophomore teams that outshone the new member of the Katella baseball class. The Sophomores came within viewing distance of perfection, finish- ing the year l7-l overall, 12-0 in league. Strong pitching was the stronger points of Knight attack. Led by 5-0 starters Travis Driscoll and Matt Goodrich, plus 5-O reliever Marc Gerdes, the sophomores put together one of the more enjoyable years ever. The J,V, finished 85 with a mediocre 6-6 in league, ll-8 overall. Among their accomplishments is a consolation championship in Foothill Tourney. The .l.V. Knights defeated everyone in the tough Empire at least once, except for the ever tough Cypress club, who became the top dog in the league. Overall, the underclass- men Knights have shown the promise to keep Katella on top in the high school baseball world. ff- - X gi ' -- ,-j -1.-. X, .fs-1 7 . . - .
