Even though most fresh- men are familiar with rules of baseball, the freshman team spends most of the pre-sea- son going over the basics. This is for the benefit of the players themselves. During the season the team goes through the trials and tri- bulations of being baseball players. The freshman team is an important squad because they are the foundation of our varsity teams. The freshmen coach has the great responsibility of molding a group of freshmen into a well disciplined and dedicated baseball team. 235

With the opening of Horizon High School there was a considerable los of players to the JV baseball team. The team started the season with a fresh group of players. The season was a rebuilding one for both coaches and players. There will be a lot asked of the play- ers because of the size of the team. The team is full of spirit and confi- dence, They are hard workers and practice until they get it right. The goal of the JV team was to gain enough experience to produce a strong varsity team.
