' Cross Country Gives Best Effort by: Pam deLeon Low turnout and lack of experienced runners limited Cross Country team's capability. The entire team consisted of only 15 members which were mainly inexperienced. The top runners were Erik Camberos, a senior, Joe Turner, a sophomore, and Jason McKee, a freshman. This was the first year of Cross Country for all 3 runners. l feel that if Pittsburg would have had an organized youth track team we would have had a better group of runners at the high school level, replied coach Atkinson. Most DVAL schools fielded full teams, for the following races: Varsity Boys, JV Boys, FroshfSoph Boys, Varsity Girls, and JV Girls. 'atv' 1.

Sports Appeal to Both Sexes By: Kerry Gudjohnsen and Jennifer Dimarob The Pittsburg Golf team was made up of both girls and boys and consisted of two returnees. The team had 14 sign-ups, but many players eventually dropped. The 2.0 no F rule didn't seem to affect us at all, coach Jack Becker commented. The most promising players on the team were Sopho- more, Dino Susim and Junior Mike Macaluso. The team practiced everyday, with matches on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. The team was ranked in the middle of the pack last year, after finishing ahead of 3 teams and behind four. With a new coach and some new faces, the swim team was encouraged and ready to compete. Though there were a few returnees, the numerous swimmers helped to aid the team. Returning swimmers were Erin Cronan, and Esther Tellez. The team didn't have as many members as did other teams in the DVAL but winning wasn't all that mattered to the team. What we place isn't really that important. lt's the feeling of pride we got from going out there and trying, stated Stacy Nunnery. 1.

Varsity Has High Potential by: Ron Polk The Varsity baseball team felt it could go a long way with its many talented players. The league is a lot tougher this year, but so are we, replied head coach John Abono. The team must follow up their previous season in order to make it to the N.C.S. play-offs again. The pirates had several returnees which made their squad complete. Seniors Tom Nicolosi, Lee Dongallo, Al Acuna, Johnny Suarez, Phil Layfield, and Ron Polk were among the few which made up almost of the almost all senior team. Nick Sivil and Craig Billeci have also helped the team with their extra added hitting power. One more big plus for the varsity squad would be the J.V.'s coming up like Ed Bokinski, Bobby Johnson, and Kevin Coston. Don Hines will add that little extra spark, along with Dan Arroyo and Buddy Solis. Last season's team did a spectacular job by achieving a play-off berth at the N.C.S. finals, something it hasn't done in years. Hopefully they can repeat. ' 4 . Q R+-X ..
