I l Iunior Varsity Play Ball PLAYERS IUST WANT TO HAVE FUN junior Varsity Baseball players made plans for their 1987 season. Players gave it their all at prac- tice, after school, and on the P.H.S. turf, because their plan was to have a winning season. Iunior, Gerome Sandoval's fa- vorite position on the field was pitch- er. Sandoval had played baseball for eight years, and felt he had a lot of fun in the diamond this season. Andy Trias, catcher, had been involved in baseball for about five years, and knew what the game was about. My goals for this season were to help my team win the champion- ship, Trias added. Coach Hero Pardi believed that this time, they had the power to make it big, and winning the champion- ship would be a great experience, and a lot of fun. - Tina Brooks PRACTICE ez' 'P-v..

STARTING OFF THE SEASON WITH A HIT The girls of the Pirate Softball team, planned to take it to the top in the 86-87 season. Practice for the Lady Pirates started off well, even though there were three returning starters absent due to NCS basketball. Coach Iarnes McLennan appeared to be very sat- isfied with the people who showed interest in softball and tried out for the team. There were eleven girls who came to try out for the varsity squad. Of these were: Monique Mondragon, Latrice Garnblin, Kim Medeiros, Lourdes Rosado, Eileen Aguba, Robbie Narez, Perthena Mollique, Michelle Melendez, Charise Owens, Felecia Collier and Gia Scinto. Out of these eleven girls there were only seven spots to fill. Latrice Gamblin secured a spot at pitcher. There were five returners. Catcherg Lidia Stiglich - 3rd Base: Denise Dyer - Short Stopg Iessica Medeiros, and Charletta Thompson, and Rachelle Davis, outfielders. An outlook on the season was hard to come by because McLennan was still unsure of his decisions. As usual the team was picked to do well, and would try their best at doing so.
