Schmidt and Petz lead teams We have a nucleus to have a really good ball club, but the results of the season will depend upon how many peo- ple are brought up to varsitv, said the new junior varsity baseball Coach Bill Schmidt before the season started. Kev players for the lunior varsitv team were John Vargas, Herb Marris, David Keith. Jef Garcia, and Jim Murphy. According to Coach Schmidt, the strength of the team was its speed. It doesn ' t really matter how well we do as long as the varsity wins, stated Coach Schmidt. Hitting and strong defense up the middle are two strong areas for the sophomore baseball team. This year the team is under the leadership of Mike Petz. We have a good team and will be a contender this year in the Empire League, said Coach Petz. Andy Campbell, Doug Forsythe, Mark Joanis, and Tom McCormack were key players for the sophomores.
