Our team's section championship hinged on several important factors, the most important of these being a will to win, Throughout the season the Panthers used this facility to pull ahead and take a lead in the late innings of play. VVith the pitching of Ron Sabatino, Dale Grove, and Bob Doak, we were able to establish a respect for Riverside pitchers by many teams. As the season progressed it became apparent that our team would be right on top of the section and it wasn't a surprise when we found the road to the Section 6 championship. Among the bright spots of the season was the hitting of the team. On top was Larry Boyer with a .414 average. Next in line was Drew Szabo with .364 and coming in third was Sam DeCaria with .333. The team's coach helped foster all of these items in addition to giving inspiration and encouragement. The entire com- munity took pride in the ability of our boys and in the fine manner in which they displayed a keen spirit of competition without losing an unwavering respect for sportsmanship.
