Watch Out World Series, Here Come Our Cats What does it take to make up a great team? Strategy, cooperation, determi- nation and skill. These four words best describe our 1983-84 l.V. baseball team. lt turned out to be a whole different ball game when Coach Belt moved up to the Varsity team because Mr. Sicilian decided to devote his time to football. This year's team was coached by Mr. Art Acosta, who came to Sabino from Rincon, where he coached the school's baseball team. This is Mr. Acosta's first year coaching at Sabino. Sabino gave the team support and hoped that this would be the year for the l.V. Cats. The determination in the team made it easier for them to be like a family. Two long, tedious hours were spent each day on warmups, base sprinting, and other athletic skills, mak- ing it tough for the whole team, but they pulled through. All in all, it was a great year for our Sabers. Way to go, Cats! By Melanie Padayao and Debbie Mont- gomery Photos by Greg Selers

These Sabers Really Had A Ball The Sabercat girls softball team was the strongest ever. These girls worked from winter to spring getting better with every practice. Four year veteran Duska Sahler said, I believe one reason we played so well is be- cause we're more like a family than a team. But what does it take to be a Sabino softball player? Well, besides determi- nation, fortitude, and hard work, it takes, according to Leslie Dempsey, a positive mental attitude important to succeeding at anything. These girls improved athletically, as well as socially. They learned to play with friends as well as playing alone. These girls did a great job of repre- senting Sabino on and off the field. So, look out in '85-there will be no stop- ping the saber softballers. By lon Benson Photos by T.McCaffrey 1. I.V. Softball: First row-l. Harlow, L. Carbaial, T. Chipman, I. Graham, T. Polson, K.
