Next year the girls hope to catch that runaway winning season by playing good, consistent softball.

Struck Out!! Summing up this year's Varsity Baseball season can be expressed in two words, Struck Out! Not being able to get hits and making fielding errors at key moments resulted in an 8-13 overall record. The team had the talent and experience, but could not get into the swing of things. The team did have some good games. They beat Mendon, which was in first place at the time. They also beat Centreville, which was in second place. Winning these important games showed everyone that the team did have the talent to win. Junior Paul Fowler and Sophomore Brent Kulp were named CO-MVP of the team. Evan Anderson, who played first base, was named most-improved. Brent Kulp was also named to the All-Conference Team and Paul Fowler and Brad Schneider were named Honorable Mention.
