CHANGE OF FACE — CHANGE OF PACE King High baseball, a strong district contender, got off to a better start this season than last year. Although they ended up runner-up for the district crown, the Lions lost their first seven games last year. The King Lions put away any thoughts of losing by winning their opening battle against Lcto. Although only three starters returned, Coach Macaluso found that he had a good group of players. With a group of strong hitters, the King Lions baseball team concentrated on a strong offense behind the plate. In the field the Lions combined talent from the new and returning players to form a strong de- fense. The Lions boasted seven strong pitchers, many college prospects and a strong outfield. The infield was full of players unfamiliar to their posi- tions, yet through hard and work and training, they proved their skills and helped King dominate Western Conference baseball.
