Grant, the champions of the East Valley League last year, returned this year strong in most departments, but hampered by young and inexperienced pitching. Whether winning or losing, the Lancer nine always played good baseball and of- fered strong competition to their tough East Valley League foes. The most outstanding players were shortstop Tom Macleod, captain of the team and All-League candidate, who played and hit well all year long, Rick Amezola, first base, Mike Gordon, third base and possible All-League player, and Leonard South, with fine pitching performances. Tenth graders, who give Grant a bright future, were pitchers Jeff Pentland and John Schroeder, and catcher Ron McMackin.

Baseball team, last year's champions, had a good year, producing many stars who will be playing varsity ball next year. Leading players were Phil Bruder, pitcher, who also won games with his bat, Benny Samuels, shortstop, AI Mieren, lst base and pitcher, Steve Klein, Bob Hofer and Jim Campbell, outfielders, and Flip Knox, hard hitting third baseman. All the players are either tenth or eleventh graders, which means a promising future for Lancer baseball.
