aseball Hitting the Top By Jennifer Stampfli The long and strenuous JV practices were made more enjoyable by Coach Nelson's atti- tude and the closeness of the players, Marc Pendleton described Nelson as a cool guy who knows when to be serious and when to have fun. Second baseman Eddie Cornblum pointed out, Coach Nelson relates to us both as individuals and as a team. l-le listens and sticks with us, even in the tough times. Not only did Coach Nelson remain supportive throughout the season, but the players bol- stered one another's spirits and maintained a positive attitude about their abilities. 'tWe consistently work together to produce results and don't let each other get down,', ex- plained Alon Banks. True to this statement, it required a team effort with everyone playing as a unit to win games When asked about the 'edge the Titans possessed over their oppo- nents, Bill Bertsch immediately replied, We have excellent hitters and a great deal of enthusiasm, which keeps us going. Our suc- cess comes trom determination and the ener- gy needed to win, believed Pitcher Brian Rodems. Todd Sawyer best summed up the teamls attitude by saying, Poway's JV team has the players with the will and desire to overcome any odds we may encounterf, ln- deed optimism was high when Pendleton ex- claimed, 'AGO Titanslu Todd Waters contemplates the possibility of stealing a base.

Last year's team certainly proved that they had the will to win with an outstanding record of wins. But, winning the games was not all the team focused on, they focused on working together as a team. We had a lot of different person' alities on the team, but when the games came around we were unified as a team. The thing that I enjoyed about baseball was winning as a team, stated Tommy Peterson. By spending so much time together, the team members got to develop an understand- ing with each other. Coach Lekvold was a great coach. He pushed us to become better baseball players, said Mike Pedrotti. Coach Lekvold expected perfection out of us, and we worked to give him just thatf, expressed Tommy Peterson. Since this was their first year on a team at high school level, these players took the game seriously. As Pitcher Mike Pefrotti put it, k'Pitching is a game of inches, it can make the different between a win or a lossf' Tom- my Peterson stated, Baseball isn't just a game, it's a way of life.
