Experience Pays Price by: Nina Trias Team unity, good speed, hard hitting bats, excellent attitudes, and a knowledge of the game is what any coach looks for in a team. The varsity softball team practically handed all of those qualities on a silver platter to Coach James McClennan who was in his third season of coaching the varsity squad. With 11 returning players, the Lady Pirates showed no mercy when they pounded Fairfield in a pre-season opener, 9-Q. When the girls weren't playing a game, they practiced for Q hours after school. Technique and form were stressed the most during practices. The workout consist- ed of running bases, fielding practice, and, of course, batting practice. Coach McClennan felt that the team had enough potential to take the league again, however, lt is up to them if they want to be champions this year. One thing that McClennan looked forward to was, Just winning - one game at a time. f if ' W X ii. mwflffi' if r ,V ',,,,.,, , f' iw f t.' --,' Q ., ,hi my A., + v,Waf W my, V , , rrrr rrtr ralfrl r 4 if ,, at , E ULLLLELTQ EILL L'I:Ll,LL QW?
