Overall the boys had a very good sea- son. We had a young team, but next year the team will be older and more exper- ienced, stated Coach Wal- ly Shatkowski. One of the highlights was beating Thomwood for the first time since 1985. We lost the first game which was played at Thomwood's field. We worked real hard together to beat them when they came to our field. Both of the games were really close , and it felt great to finally beat our rival team, stated Tad Mossell, junior. Selected to the All-Con- ference team were Mike Small, senior, Mike Griffin, senior, Edgar Anderson, ju- nior and Dan Koontz, ju- nior. Awarded All- Confer- ence honorable mention were Andy DeBoer, junior and Tony Vinciguerra, ju- nior. Wearing new uniforms which were columbia blue and white, the team added the gray and black Salva- tore R. Salato patch on their left sleeves. The new uniforms and the addition of the patch gave us really good attitudes. They made us feel complete and we felt as if we were really winning the games for Thomridge and Mr. Salato, said Mike Small, senior. 42 5- C - .1 ' -5' Lf!

Team takes 5rd in conference Three individuals were named All-Conference from the girls softball team that struggled to achieve third place in conference. 'il feel we had a success- ful season and we worked with a lot of potential as the season progressed. We be- came stronger because our pitching improved im- mensely, and we estab- lished a set line-up. l'm proud of our third place standing and our three All- Conference players, said Mr. Sam Tortorici, head coach. T Named All-Conference were Lynn George, second baseman, Stephanie Neher, first baseman, and Ginnie Hartman, pitcher. Named as special mentions were Lisa Martell, left fielder and Missi Luri, shortstop. A!-N The team, consisting of 5 seniors, 10 juniors, and 5 sophomores, supported one another to play up to its potential. This was the best team as far as spirit goes. We were like a big family. I was really happy to recieve All- Conference Honors: it was something l really wanted, stated Cap- tian Lynn George. The varsity season ended with 7 wins and 5 losses. Even if our record wasn't number one and even when we lost, our team spirit was always at its highest. lt was a great season, stated Heather Gilliam, sopho- more. The sophomore team had a record of 5 wins and 7 losses, and Freshmen fin- ished with a record of 0 wins and 6 losses. Top: Bev Walski pitches for varsity for the second year.
