But the Colts bounced back with an overall good season in 1986. Under Coach Don Rothermich, the varsity team set some new records and developed some new star players. The young team con- sisted of one freshman, three sophomores, nine juniors, and four seniors. Our goal was to finish at .500 and to win Districts. said Rothermich. Although they ended with a fi- nal record of 13-8-1, the Colts were unsuc- cessful at capturing the District champion- ship. After beating Parkway North during regular season play, the Colts lost a heart- breaker to them in the finals of the District Tournament. l'm proud of the girls. They worked hard this year, said Rothermich. To have a successful season, a team must be led by good pitching. Pitching seemed to be the major problem for Rothermich and the Colts in 1985. With extra work and coaching, sophomore pitchers Andee Silver- man and Janet Springer played a major role in the success of the team. The Colt pitchers went from an average of 12 walks per game in 1985, to only three in 1986. Silverman do it recorded a 6-1 win f loss record while Spring- er went 7-7. Other outstanding individuals who took the field were Seniors Kim Deutsch and Heather Murphy, Juniors Ka- ren Schneider and Beth Burns, and Sopho- more Steffie Fox. Named to the First Team All Conference were Schneider and Fox. Schneider also set a school record for stolen bases during a season with 36, including eight in a single game. Schneider led the team with a batting average of .474. Fox was second in batting with an average of .389. Deutsch was named to Second Team All Conference while Burns and Murphy both received honorable mentions. Burns also led the team with RBI's with 16. Rothermich lined up a tough schedule for this year. The Colts played seven of the final eight quarter finalists in the state tourna- ment from last year. Coach Rothermich seemed very pleased with the season. Noi only did we play well', but we had fun.l think one thing that helped us was the fact that we played as a team. l'm really looking forward to next year, said Burns. With the loss of only three starters the Colts look good for the 1987 season. ,-il I 0 2 l 000000 Q f.
