Tokay competed with St. Mary's, Lincoln, and Lodi for the top spots in the San Joaquin Athletic Association, according to Nancy Zeisler, first year head coach. These teams could have beaten either one on any given day, said Coach Zeisler. lronically, all four of those teams were in contention for the top spots because of their pit- ching. Tokay's pitching staff was lead by Andrea Drake, Lisa Lewis, and Mandy McCormick. Coach Zeisler, who coached Lodi High to a championship and took over the coaching spot from Pam Rux, counted on her seniors for leadership. Key seniors were: Katharine Saubolle, catcher, Amber Her- bert, centerfieldg Kimbra Koop, 172 Q second base, Andrea Drake, pitcher, and Cindy Eldredge, rightfield. For the sophomores, who were lead by Michelle Pfeifer, first year head coach. Coach Peifer, who came to Tokay after playing and coaching at the University of San Francis- co, tried to teach the team ad- vanced techniques on offense and defense. We had good team unity, solid pitching, and good de- fense, said Coach Pfiefer. Coach Pfiefer's goals were to have a .500 season and to achieve better quickness on base running. Key performers for the froshf soph team were Melinda Daniels, pitcher, Tera Montano, shortstop and pitcher, Sherri Seifert, third base, and Myra Mendoza, out- field. by Darrin Hughes I. 9 E 2 5 s E N it A -o Photo Photo by Darrin Coe 4.

Sackers show luggish start Fielding a younger team than in the past, Tokay's varsity base- ball team began the seasonslow and improved every game, ac- cording to Paul Lovotti, head coach. We were definitely a younger team this year, said Coach Lovotti. We only had one re- turning starter in Jeff Barron lcentertielderl. Timothy Costello lcatcherl was our designated hit- ter last year, but besides that, we were inexperienced at most posi- tions. Coach Lovotti, in his l lth year as varsity head coach, believed that four teams would be battling it out for the top two spots that would advance to post-season play. Lodi and Lincoln were definitely the teams to beat this year. And then it was us and St. Mary's battling between each other, he said. This year, our four basketball players played a major role for us, said Coach Lovotti. Espe- cially David Black, whom we needed to come in and pitch for us on many occasions. Coach Lovotti expected much leadership from his seniors this season. The team's five seniors were: Barron, Costello, Ronald Peluso, Todd Craddy, and Christopher Wall. by Tim Skamel Photos by Kent Wisenor .
