INGI .. . V -at-1 my .-.- name Jr. Jason Duncon proves to be asset to the team, in both the short and long game, which he showed by get- ting to state. i I Strike three, you're not out! For the first time softball was con- sidered a varsity sport. It was about timeg we practiced just as hard as any other sport, but the recognition was not there, Jr. Amy Delahunty said. A triple play happened during the 'first year? girls could now letter,a new coach took on the team for her first year in coaching softball, and the team went to the first softball state tournament, taking seventh place. The league, dominated by Boulder, could not tum their backs on the Blazers. As they entered the regionals considered underdog, they surprised every- one by making it to state. They played great, especially when they beat favored Rocky Moun- tain 14-4 in five innings, Coach Carla Stearns said. The season looked as though it wouid end with a 7-7 record be- fore regionals, but they ended up strong with a 10-9 record. Hitting was the major problem with the Blazers. Only two girls batted over 350. Our hitting was ter- rible until the regionalsg I don't somediing ders must leam to do. Sr. es that with a good throw be thrown out at second. outfiel on golf course or diamond, me athletes swing into action know what happened, but every- one began to hit, said Soph. Melene Benson. The season ended with three players elected to the All-Centen- nial League. Jr. Nikki Dardano was picked as First Team at first base. Irs. Amy Delahunty and Fran Donate were picked for the Second Team, Amy for pitching and Fran for playing in the out- field. Fran said the best trait the Blazers had was that no matter how bad we were losing or how great we were winning, we never stopped fighting? The JV record didn't exactly show how good the team really was. 'The greatest game this year was when we beat Creek: for the first time we played as a team, Jr. Kim Atnip said. The team im- pressively beat Creek, Gateway, and Rangeview but finished up with a 3-ll record. Most people tend to smile when they think of sand, but to a golfer it is their worst nightmare. Jr. Tony Pucci said, The team was in the sand a lot. The golf team shanked their record because an ineligible waiver caused them to be disqualified from all of their league tournaments. The intense ability to do the best they could was noted by all the players. Jr. Jason Duncan said, Golf chal- lenges you on every shot and is individualized so no one else is to blame when things go wrong. Fr. Mark Costol said, Jason is looked at for leadership because h can hold the team together. At state, only two players got the chance to show off their shots: Fr. Mike Brownell finishing 77th and Jason 20th out of 135 golfers. The team, young with three freshmen, learned the mental toughness it takes to play golf. Mike said, I like the experience I got and the chance to see other great golfers. Sr. Javier De La Garza, along with Jason, clob- bered all the courses with most of their scores in the 70's. Though Coach Jerry Richardson was wor- ried early in the year, he said, The team grew and surprised many people. Dedication and practice turned out to be the key in the game of golf, with practice every day at Meadow Hills for three hoursaday. Tony said, The time it takes to master this sport is worth everything when you make a good shot. In both softball and golf, to see a ball in flight was one of the sports' greatest joys.
