Softball adds Classy coach From the coaches down to the sopho- more rookies, the softball Stars faced a year of transition throughour the early aurumn season. Changes from the season before occured iN many situations during the Srars’ sched- ule. Graduation itself tools away many start- ers of the previous year, bringing in new faces to take over. The defense thus lacked experience. A fotal of 109 errors through the first ninereen games was proof enough, bur the Stars were still able to finish with a positive overall record of 12 - 6. For the second year in a row, the Stars caprured the District Championship in the Stare Tournament when they tools care of Hazelwood West 7 - 3. Bur fhe favor was returne d in the first game of the stare play- offs against Parkway Central Oct. 9, as the Stars were handed a disappointing 8 - 4 loss, wiping out all hopes for possible state action. Before the season, retiring Coach Merrill McDaniels placed his assistant Mr. Ray Schoch in the driver's seat, giving Schoch the opportunity fo prepare for next season and the seasons to come. ‘I’ve arranged the line-ups, scheduled the practices and done the yelling when we screw up,” said the new coach, who just the year before broke in as assistant to Coach McDaniel. In the middle of a smooth follow through, Tammy Golak eyes her line drive into left cenrer field.
