Mona Shores Excels in Track and Baseball The 68 baseball season was one to build on, said Coach Don Dezelsky, because of the many underclassmen who returned this year to help out in the team efforts. The Sailors put forth a strong show- ing despite the rugged competition of the Valley Coast Baseball League. Mona Shores had its three top hurlers back this seasong Mark 'Vincent, Bob Halla- day and Jim Depoy. Strengthening the infield were Tony Morano, Don Hoe- kenga, Donn Sundin, Tony Whitlow, and Harry Visscher. The M.S. ball team, despite the lack of depth, did a commendable job and made the Port of the Sailors stand out as a permanent threat in baseball com- petition.
