Softball Let The Good Times Roll Jon Jaro Our team is like a giant cookie. The players are the chocolate chips and Coach Campbell is the cookie part, described lst baseman Michelle Adame. The Junior Varsi- ty Softball team earned the right to be called a cookie. The girls were united as a whole, with Coach Campbell holding them together throughout the season. 'iHe takes the time to work individually with all the players, com- mented 2nd baseman Lysha Younker. As a result, the players showed their appreciation to Coach Campbell by constantly working hard and winning several games. Success came about through various reasons. Dana Timms believed that, We play well because we work together as a team and always en- courage one anotherf' Much like the Varsity, these girls had played together in years past. So, becoming familiar with how others played was simple. In the end, the season was very satisfying and revealed much promise for the future. Pride. That which compels thee to do one's best, even when no one is looking. Throughout the season, the Freshmen Soft- ball team lived up to this motto. Many of the girls considered this year's season to be ex- tremely interesting. The team lacked a coach until Jim Cross, a volunteer, stepped into the coaching spot. His team welcomed him with much enthusiasm. lt was generous of him to give us his free time, replied 2nd baseman Alison lngleby. The Freshmen team exper- ienced several new things during the season. They included: gay looking uniforms and the smell of agriculture near the softball fields. However, aside all this, the team man- aged to win games and have a great time. Friendship also thrived as the season pro- gressed. With so many positive things turning up, the PHS Softball program is bound for further success! 106 JV 8: Frosh Softball Jenny Van Boom prepares to scoop up the ball and throw. l H. Cross, J.

The entire team loved their coach's laid-back per- sonality, although he remained a 'itoughf' teacher. In return, Gehrke described the eight-member team as hardworking and friendly. 'AAII of them are willing to try any dive I ask them to perform. Their degree of difficulty has increased by leaps and bounds since the season's startf, Trey Freelen called diving 'fan art from God. He gave me this gift and I use it to make Him happy. Dana Dodd said, I dive because it's a challengeg I feel like I accomplished something and I'm always learning. Similarly, Kim Miller felt, It's an individual sport so you're in control of every- thing instead of relying on someone else to finish off the playf' Diving is great because it's exciting and daringlf' explained Derric Oliver. Although they competed against one another in meets, the Titans stuck together. They encouraged each other and shared ad- vice on how to improve technique and bring their scores closer to a ten, Each diver had a lot of depth, and Poway usually captured most of the points. Greg Stampfli's favorite part of diving was Hflipping and spinning.
