Player skills spark season he girls varsity softball team, consisting of 7 seniors, 7 juniors, and 2 sophomores, ended its sea- son with a record of 7 wins and 14 losses. Our piching was in the process of improv- ing. Although it was not the cause ofthe record, it was cer- tainly a factor, said Coach Sam Tortorici. Despite the losing record, there were some exceptional individual performances. Sen- ior Aimee Callanan was select- ed to the All-Conference team as a third baseman for the second year in a row. Also, Ju- lie Osborne, senior, was awarded Honorable Mention All-Conference for her perfor- mance in the outfield. Leading the team in batting was Missi Luri, sophomore, with an average of .362. Junior Lynn George f.338l, Osborne f.279l, and Callahan 1.2713 also did well with the bat. The team really stuck together through some tough times. lt was a rough season, but we made the best of it by working together as a team, stated Luri. The varsity team ended its season with a conference re- cord of 3 wins and 9 losses which put them in 6th place. They lost their first regional game to H-F. The sophomores had a sea- son record of 9 wins and 9 losses. The freshmen's record was 4 wins and 6 losses. Top: Spirit prevailed when the chips were down.
