atural Blend Creates Success oach Jim Perry thinks that eliminating mental blocks and play- ing fundamental baseball will help this year's teams average three runs or better per inning or better. This will give them a chance to finish the season well above .500. Even though this is Coach Perry's first year at MBHS, he has coached for two years and taught in Cincinnati, Ohio for three. With concentration and a great attitude there's a good possibility that the team could go to CIF. The coach expects Jon Dodson to be the number one pitcher and Randy Ubay, Mark Tabares, and Clayton Shong to be outstanding hitters. In the first game of the season the Pirates outscored San Luis Obispo by ten runs, winning fifteen to five. Fans, students, and parents alike, not only appreciated the action packed game, but felt the same tension that the players did. With Robert Ruppert on the pitching mound, Kreg Kowarsh behind the plate and Josh Vasquez on first base, San Luis didn't have a chance of getting on base much less scoring any runs. Frosh-Soph baseball coach, Dick Headley, also comes to MBHS for the first time. Coach Headley has had experience in playing during high school and college, as well as coaching college teams. Headley thinks that the team has a natural blend and will have a successful season. The team has a sound defense and a good running offense. The leading players are sophomores Paul Patti in center field and Gino Barrett at first base. They led the team proudly to victory with a nine to eight win over traditional rival San Luis Obispo. Anytime MBHS beats the Tigers, the season has to be considered a success. an-suuunh Mi 'il lin 'nil' fy.- 1 16 Baseball 4' ag: , '

Team Shows Promise fter the great success of the Cross Country team, the Track team inherited the incredible talents of those who were the essential ingredients of the Cross Country victory at CIF finals last season. According to head coach Terry Bauer, This year our goal is to send more people to CIF preliminaries and finals. Among the veterans are David Lilly who placed second in CIF finals in the 400 meter run, Shannon Egan who placed fifth in the 800 meter run, and John Docker who was sixth in the 1600 meter run. It is apparent that the team's strongest events will be distance running. Track is a sport ranging from track events to field events. It takes an immense amount of dedication and hard work to be a success at it. Though it may at times seem to be all blood, sweat, and tears, track is also very enjoyable. The team unquestionably believes that the best part of the season is traveling and competing. They will compete in meets as far away as Stanford, in Palo Alto, and Norwalk, in southern California, where the CIF finals are to be held. The Track team has the talent to be extremely successful, thanks to the helping hands of coaches Bauer, Leo Lenting, Robert Altvatter, and Jack Smith. Their advice and experience is improving the team's effectiveness one hundred percent. They collaborated in different areas of track to create an immensely powerful group that should, next year, be even better. It remains to be seen how far the team will go to get to the top. It is likely that their hard work will pay off. We expect them to want to compete, achieve, and to be successful- that's the bottom Iine, said Coach Bauerg The way we run it is just to improve. We're just here to rewrite the record books and to do our very best.
