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.

Season marked by injuries Wo have some fairly good seniors but basically it was a rebuilding year, stated first-year varsity golf Coach Ron Young. Coach Young previously was the junior varsity coach but was not involved with the golf team for two years. Because of the winter rain, which washed out golf courses, several pre-season matches were cancelled. The rain also made practicing very difficult. The team was plagued with injuries suffered on the course. Before the league matches began, junior Tod Fingal dislocated his knee while swinging. When Fingal returned to action, senior Steve Jones suffered a back injury and missed the second half of the season. The remainder of the team consisted of seniors Bruce Duner, Pat Foley, Tom Sorenson, Alan Todd; and sopho- mores Rick Cortez, Jeff Rodman, and Matt Sohl. The team did not do well in league. Coach Young helps you and makes you work, but he keeps the game fun, said Tod Fingal. . r 1. Hilling his drive down the middle of the lairwav is senior Alan Todd as Tom Sorenson looks on. 2.
