Individual talents aid Tiger softball Led again by Joanne Katanic, the Tiger varsity softball team started the season with an impressive pre-season record of 4-2. Having ended last year in third place out of 20 teams in the San Joaquin Athletic Association, the girls main- tained high hopes. Katanic predicted that the team would have an especially promising year because of the team spirit, and also because of the team's two strongest players, catcher Jacqueline DeSanti and pitcher Melissa Wall. Also, the team welcomed 98 freshmen Tonya Wagner, Darci Snider, and Stepanie Welch. According to Katanic, the Tigers found the toughest competition against Lodi High and Armijo. Even so, the girls expected to again place at the top of the SJAA standings at the close of the season. In past years, Tiger softball teams have usually been a threat to the SJAA. After 10 years, Tokay claimed four SJAA league titles and two SAC-Joaquin section titles. Last year, the Tigers finished with a 10-4 league record.
