S o arin g High Being a member of North's diving team wasn't easy dur- ing pre-season as North High's pool was without a diving board until the second week in February. That meant the entire team plus Coach Sandy McCready had to travel across the river to the Wes Nott Pool on Cleveland Avenue for their daily practice session. The eight member squad is an important part of the Red Knight Swim Team, competing in each scheduled meet during the 1982 season. Three boys and three girls are eligi- ble to compete each week making practices doubly impor- tant as the divers must qualify as members of each meet's team through intrasquad competition and their attendance record. Divers must perform six dives at each meet with a dif- ficulty rating of 1.0 to 3.0. These dives are evaluated by three or five judges who look for excellence in the ap- proach, the departure off the board, the entry into the water, the precision and form of movements, and the dive's difficulty rating. A score of 0 to a perfect 10 may be award- ed by each judge. Then the judges' scores are averaged and recorded and finally totaled for each diver's performance during the meet. As anyone who uses the pools of Southwest Florida knows, diving off a board or from the side of a pool can be dangerous or embarrassing lespecially if one ends up belly-flopping in front of one's friendsj. Well-trained, agile, well-coordinated, graceful divers like those on North High's Diving Team are a pleasure to watch. They leave the board soaring for the clouds, execute their dives with precision and accuracy, and enter the water crisply and cleanly . . . perfect 10's in the eyes of their fans. 3 4 W' -4 - 6 . 4 iff-,.,.f HX . gr Athletics X 207

, 0 It s A Hit! The 1981 Varsity Baseball Team, coach- ed by Ted Ferreira and Steve Wise, emerged at season's end with a feeling of pride and accomplishment. The team, composed of all juniors and seniors, had proven they could work as a united group in all areas: hitting, throwing, batting, and fielding. As proof was their record of 19 wins, 7 losses, and 1 tie. They captured the South Florida Conference Title and became District 12 Champions. This made it two consecutive years that North's varsi- ty baseball team had won these two championships. Practice started early in january for the 1982 season with the hope of achieving a third appearance in the conference and district playoffs. The team, rich in talent and experience with eleven returning let- termen, practiced daily after school. Seven starters from last year's successful nine, returned to the diamond and battled with hopeful and talented juniors and seniors for 1982 starting positions. Many of the team's hopes in 1982 centered on Senior third baseman Mike Greenwell, three year letterman and 1 - Dusty Boyd hauls one in for an out. 2 - Scooping up a grounder is outfielder Wade Smallwood. 3 - Varsity Pitching Ace Bobby Carrillo winds up to deliver the ball across the plate. 4 - After forcing Stuart Moriconi out at second during an intrasquad game, Scott Sushil fires the ball to first base on a dou- ble play.
