ascball Hitting for Power By Jennifer Stampfli Poway's Varsity baseball team has grown in maturity since last year. Their better sea- son can be attributed to an older, more ex- perienced team with better hitting and field- ing techniques. With practices averaging two to three hours daily, their abilities improved every day and in every game. We're very fired up for this season and so far our games have been better than last year, commented Mike Scaggs. A majority of the team ' were Varsity veterans and Q eid friends. This helped Show We're on a -high i i and ready to mon cares for our team a great deal. He makes the team his first priority and puts forth his whole effort to improve our skills. When we lose, he hurts more than us.

We all have to rely on one anotherf, Wraith epitomized the team's outlook when he said, L'As long as I can help the team, I'll play any position. Another factor in the teamis success was Coach John l-larmon's dedication and exper- ienced coaching. John Youngkin felt, Har- strong leader on our team. The intensity and spirit of the Titans brought them a successful season against tough oppo- nents.
