i TENNISXSOFTBALL ST AN Sweet smelling flowers and warm, bright sunshine along with the toing of a tennis racket and the crack of a soft- ball bat were among the sights and sounds of spring for many students. As the hours of day- light increased, the girls' tennis and softball teams used the time to improve their games. Ending the season with an 8- 3 record, the girls' varsity tennis team was well led by its three singles players. At the district tournament held May 8-10, Sr. Cindy Galloway, playing the number one position, finished third to players from Cherry Creek and Smoky Hill. Both the players in the number two and three positions, Fr. Court- neay Goss and Soph. Courtnee Calvert, finished in second place at districts behind Creek. Other district finalists included the number one doubles team of Jr. Buffy Barnes and Sr. Anjali Budhiraja and the Overland varsity team as a whole which finished fourth at the tourna- ment. A young and inexperienced JV tennis team also had a very successful season ending with a 7-4 record. The team of Sophs. Stacy Melluzzo and Jill Pepper went undefeated and that of Jrs. Patti Coulter and Lisa Evers lost only one match. Both coaches were very proud of the teams. Coach Mary Martha Shaw said, We have a very young team that has improved over the season. If the team plays over the summer, we will be even more successful next year. Coach Lynn Simpson ex- plained, Because the team is so young, only three players are graduating, which means the team will be much more exper- ienced and even stronger. Softball, for now considered just a club, had a season compa- rable to a very serious varsity sport. With a record of 8-4, the team finished fifth in the state tournament and supplied three players to the all-state team for the Centennial league. First baseman Soph. Nicole Dardano was unanimously voted to the first team while Soph. Amy De- lahunty and Sr. Stacy Dean were honored with places on the second team in outfield posi- tions. Also, Fr. Christine Dean was given an honorable mention to the all-state team. Most play- ers had a fun season, including Soph. Francee Donate who said, The team was very close and really cared about playing their best. Winning just seemed to come from trying our har- dest. The JV team, coached by Ka- ren Kronberg, finished the sea- son with a 6-6 record. We played hard but were basically out there for the fun of the sport, explained Jr. Daphne Wilson. Whether it was a slice serve or a curve ball, everything was coming up roses for the spring sports of girls' tennis and soft- ball.

B A S E B A L L ALLMWWAN The bases are loaded. It is the bottom of the ninth and the score is tied. The star batter steps up to the plate, taps the plate three times with his lucky bat. I-Ie readys himself for the pitcher's best shot. He swings the bat with all his might. CRACK! The ball soars over the fence through the sky like comet flying through space. lt is a homerun and the crowd cheers as the players strut into homebase. It is exciting moments like this, that have made high school baseball the all-American pas- time. The pastime at Overland is strong with record-breaking statistics. The junior varsity team finished the season with an ll-5 overall season record. The team won their last seven games, which was a school re- cord. We were fundamentally sound, in the later part of the season. Pitchers threw strikes and the players behind him played their defense well, said junior varsity coach Jeff Thompson. We lost to Hinkley and some other teams that we shouldnit have lost to. We went to Creek with nothing to lose, and came out with a win, that is what started our winning streak. said Soph. T.J. Kenne- dy who played on the junior var- sity team. Many tried out for the elite spots on the varsity team. Only thirteen spots were open for the best players in the school. The team played sixteen action- packed games. They completed the season with a 6-10 record. The sophomore team ended the season with 6-5-1 record. I believe that our team really im- proved over the season. Next year, I know we will do much better, said Soph. Jeremy Du- Pont who is a teammate on the sophomore team. Although they were just starting their high school base- ball career, the freshmen team finished with a 4-5-1 record. With the excitement of load- ed bases, tied scores, players giving their all, and baseballs flying through the sky like com- ets, the all-American pastime will live forever at Overland.
