Varsity Baseball team realizes that hard work must si lace inexperience m tell o matter how inexperi- enced players are. a good attitude, hard work, and never quitting can pull a team together in one quick snap. The 1986-87 Boys Var- sity Baseball team started out with only four return- ing lettermen. The big ad- dition was eight sopho- mores and juniors. We have a real young group out here, but they are good ball players, said Coach Scott Cassells. With such a young team, Cassells had to put pressure on the group, and work them hard in or- der to grab their chances for Valle Vista League Champs. Our team has a lot of potential, and we expect to wipe them out in the new league, said sopho- more Mark Marostica. Over Easter break, the Mustangs played in the Pomona Elks Tourna- ment. We want to do well in the tournament, and be able to compete in pre- season with Sierra League scores. said Cassells. We need good pitch- ing, and good hitters to have a successful sea- son, said senior Adam Stines. The confidence that the players had seemed to camouflage the inexperi- ence of the team. I think we ' ll do pretty good be- cause It ' s not as competi- tive in the Valle Vista League. said senior Paul McGuire. We ' ll have a great season. Having four returning lettermen on the squad, Paul, Ray Teare, Kurtis Wells, and Eric Lamb, the Mustangs and their coach entered competition with determination and hard work written all over their faces. With the fans behind them and their attitude to win, the team looked for a promising season. I ' m really excited; they work hard and respond well. said Cassells. Time will only tell.
