Sparking the new Varsity Softball sea- son were almost a whole new team and a brand new coach. Shelly Garner said, Mr, O'Brien is teaching us more and pulling us together to make a team. The returnees from the 1981 team were Shelly Garner, Brandi Jackson, Luann Sweet, and Anne Turner. Season highlights of 1981 included a high-scoring game against Arvin early in the season, when North pulled out a league win. In the first inning, the Stars were behind l-0, but before they left the inning they tied it l-l. By the sixth in- ning, our girls had jumped to a 13-5 lead and were on their way to an 18-ll win over Arvin. Large contributors to that score were Luann Sweet with three runs, and Elaine Winchester and Anne Turner each with three runs. Another high-scoring game against Ar- vin found North scoring three runs in the sixth inning and two more in the seventh to bring home a 9-7 victory. Other victories included a 3-2 win over West, with the Stars scoring in the first, third and eighth inning to overcome the Vikings. Traveling to Porterville for their tournament, North first faced the Porterville team itself. Darlene Garret, a senior in l98l, gave it her all fthe scorebook shows itj. Giving the Stars three runs and four hits, she helped lead the girls to a 6-4 win over Porterville in the first round of the tournament. Oth- er contributors were Karen Harrison with two runs and Brandi Jackson with one. 66fVarsity Softball
