In their lk hour practice they worked on hitting, catching, running, throwing and their positions. Fresh- men, Tina Rodriguez said that John's lots of fun compared to my little league coaches. Robbie Narez said that John teaches me more about softball than her other ordinary coaches. Most of the J.V. players had softball experience because of Little League. They soon figured out that high school level was more advanced with stealing, and turning double-plays. The main goal for the J.V. team was to develop unity and play as a team. Most importantly, players were taught basics to get them raedy for the Varsity level. 1. Lea Mostella warms up the pitcher. She is a starting catcher during the games. 2. Charise Ow- ens attempts to wack the cover off the ball. Hitting practice consist of hitting 25 to 50 balls a day. 3. Sophomore, Kim Medieros scoops up a line drive during practice. Medieros is one of the new addition to J.V. 4. Felicia Bridges warms up her arm before a workout. Bridges is one of the strong players. 5. Tina Rodriguez waves her arm to the batter signal- ing to hit it towards her. Tina starts at left field position. au. mints Euifmttt EE
