84 Sports Varsity baseball has shaky year The varsity baseball team finished their season with an 11-13 record and a 5-7 district mark. The worst part of the season came during the last six games when the Dragons could only muster up one victory. This was not expected since the Dragons had been picked to win the district crown. They did well up to the last six when they were 10-8 and on a roll. Even before district had started the team was an unsteady 6-6 against their non-district opponents. Despite their shaky start some newspapers still ex- pected the Dragons to win district or at least place second and advance to the state playoffs. In their first six district games they looked like they were going to prove the ex- perts right. Temple beat the Dragons in their first district game but after that the team went on to win four of their next five district games. Their winning streak includ- ed a 10-run rout of eventual district cham- pion Westwood, 11-1. At this point the Dragons were tied for second after half of the District games. The Dragons opened the second half of District play against Temple and lost 7-3. They went on to win only one of the next five games. Team captains for the year were John Powell and Kevin Luerson, seniors, who were returning starters from last year's bi- district runners-up. Cody Rabb, senior, was named Most Inspirational Player and juniors Mike Bradley and Jr. Ontiveros were named as the team's Most Improved Players. r Luis Diaz, senior, winds up as he prepares to let the ball fly toward his opponent. The Bryan victory was credited to him. He also picked up the win agianst Westwood, his fifth of the season and third in District. bn! VARSITY BASEBALL: lFirot Row!
