J.V. Swingers Very competative players , stated Junior Varsity Softball coach Lori Schwalbach. She was very im- pressed with the intensity coming from each of he girls, their attitudes, and the enthusiasm they put forth during each game and practice. Cooperation and unity led them to play a great season. Heather Phillips did an excellent job as pitcher and was backed up by a powerful defense. The team consisted of 13 players, with each girl holding an important position. They were a very strong team, dedicated and determined to be the success that they were.

The team ' s outstanding performance was credited to the long hours of practice after school, consisting of a half mile warm-up, and stretching under the supervision of Coach Mitchell. The team was con- sisted of nearly a dozen returning athletes and an enthusiastic new group. The unity was an impor- tant part of the boys ' success, Coach Mitchell commented. They had lots of hard workouts and they gave it their all. Their season ended with high hopes for an equally winning team next year. Branl Smith gets positioned in gates. Mark Nicholaw exerts all his effort. Boys ' Track I I 3
