+ ? 2 € 2 Admirable Season The youth of Monacan ath- letics displayed sportsman- ship and talent in the form of the 1984 Junior Varsity Base- ball Team. Behind a founda- tion of teamwork, the team fin- ished with an admirable 11-6 record. These numbers cam- ouflage excellent play, includ- ing 2 no-hitters against Pe- tersburg. At the root of the team’s success were pitchers Don Williamson, a right-handed sophomore; and Bobby Boothe, a talented, left-hand- ed eighth grader. When these pitchers were joined by field- ers such as first baseman Eric On The Move. Giving the opposing team a run for their money, Jeff Bosch attempts to steal a base. Mead and middle players Rus- sell McCallum and Jeff Bosch, the combination was out- standing. Offensively, the team was led by Rick Boden- heimer, David Keogh, Jeff Bosch, John Freiberger, Kurt Heine, and Rodney Cole. At the close of the season, the Junior Varsity Baseball Team could look back on wins such as those against Mar- shall-Walker, Benedictine, and Hopewell. Through tough competition, commendable teamwork, and sheer ability, this team emerged as winners. They joined the ranks of those that make Monacan work. Change Places.
