Unaffected Performance Even with record not up to par team spirit still shined through We had a good team this year. I saw a lot of poten- tial in these play- ers and thought we would do real well. The boys were eager to get out onto the field and playg there was a lot of excitement in their eyes. Gary One of the major positions on the team is the pitcher. The pitcher knows exactly what kind of ball to throw and, by looking at his op- ponent's eyes, where he is going to hit the ball. Seniors Rick Akers and J.D. Krug carried the team as far as pitching went. Other valuable players for the team were Bret Mclntire, Malachi Millard, Kevin Goldston, Joe Cada, and Mark Guidry. The boys did their best to keep together as a team. One of the team's best qualities was how well they worked together. They talked sf: Leiafzaf- to each other on the field in plan- ning their strategies. They based ar xg - 5' . f!.ls4,.,.g' 1 .A j ts. 3 il . .L Q tin. ,,.?g.,...,,3m I E5 ' l V ' 5 f i ' .gzyq .

A better record was anticipated, but all that can be asked of a team is to do their best. No matter what the final statistics show, a team can have a perfect record in the way they promote their team spirit. Stephanie Kimball and Karen Laird.
