Girls softball team drowns in rain The girl's softball team is one team that receives relatively no attention. lt is a seemingly non-existent sport at our school. But those girls go out on that diamond and give that game everything they have got. They play only six games. Their schedule is so small because only three other schools form softball teams for district play. This is due to either lack of interest or lack of grades at the other schools. lt is strictly a spring sport, with only even a handful of girls playing at Clark. Those girls had a tough season too, with the bet- ter percentage of their games being rained out, the team pulled out a fine season record of 3-1. Their other games were can- celled due to rain, and because the season runs too close to the end of the school year, the games were never made up. Terri Enriquez follows through on her swing and watches the ball sail over her opponents' heads. Natalie King warms up in the waiting deck, prepar- ing to approach the plate and come up with a base hit. 5 tl , ., 'Q 5 it 2 1 if 1 ..... ,Q SN-f ' NM ,T-M-rf n-e--an-Q.-vvvvw-v---w .Y effffr X .--- f Sug-g f A .,...:-2a1llwe.sn,n.,.- Vw A l Uisiparfh i r ' 'f' l M ' ' o A H l 1 V' ,N I ' it 1 4 4 . .HF Fl Q5 'al YQH, l ' ' il r ' fifkazk' , K' l 1. inf, gl ,l ,, .M 4 V, 1 gjfgigs , ' r iii't'r 1- ' f17'i'ig Y. be .. ogy p e MVR M if-3+ , f W M . we e ' my id 5.

A season that was small in production and big on heart. Plagued by injuries and the loss of a brilliant sophomore, Steve Rec- zek, to the varsity team, the junior varsity Cougar baseball team had its problems. The boys baseball program involves long hours of practice and many extra games, even in the summer. The team also had several junior varsity players who rotated from junior varsity to varsity, this also, hindered the progress of the team but the shining, however for this junior varsity team was, as it is in the cases of many other junior varsity teams, the show of promise for the future. The freshmen had to be full of talent, drive and enthusiasm and a love for the game because it takes a lot of talent and work without the support that other major events receive. Freshmen receive their talent from such players as outfielder John Wiles whose power and size allowed him to hold his own on the team, while another freshman, Brandon Davenport, obviously follows in his fami- ly's footsteps as a talented pitcher. The Junior varsity exists as a farm system for the varsity team, who has solid and tal- ented outlook for future success at Clark.
