I dare you! Freshman Mike Scharf shows off his special pitching arm. This year Mike shared the majority of the pitching chores with another freshman, Paul Michelow. With glove in hand . . . Ready to cover all corners, Scott Page waits for his opportunity. Scott is one of the best all-around players, showing consistent catching and team leadership. 1981 J.V. Baseball Team. Front row: Fred Schmeid, Mike Myers, Don Celata, Steve Swart- wood, Sean McGinnis, Tom Belcher. Second row: Paul Michelow, Ken Mason, Steve Manely, Tim Zombro, Marty Crabb, Robert Hunter. Third row: Coach Callaway, Brad Comey, Richard Wilson, Mike Scharf, Scott Page, Don Nesaw, Scott Copeland (manager). Is this the way the coach said to do it?

Communication is the main objective of any hard-working team. If attitudes don’t rank number one with players, chances of a successful season are slim. Often, when a new coach takes over, the team will test him to see how much they can possibly get away with. Such was not the case with Mr. Charles Callaway. Sophomore Sean McGinnis commented, “Coach Callaway is a great coach. He really knows his stuff.” Coach Callaway’s baseball exper¬ tise helped to strengthen the J.V. Vikes bat¬ ting averages, as well as their fielding. Richard Wilson recalled, “Coach Callaway used a lot of fundamentals, which really helped my batting.” The biggest victory the team took was against Potomac. Potomac was rolling on an eleven game winning streak. They definitely knew the Vikings had shown up when they went down 13-1. The guys remembered a season and a team made of good friends. I’ve got it covered! Sophomore Brad Comey takes his stance at third base. Brad is one of the many return¬ ing veterans under the direction of Coach Callaway. What is he doing? Coach Callaway looks on in disbelief at a close call. This is Coach Callaway’s first year at the helm of the Viking J.V. squad. Fundamental Strength 1981 J.V.

Sophomore Sean McGinnis lets a low inside pitch rip. Sean’s rookie year recognition was due to his hitting and fielding abilities. Coach Callaway’s fundamental batting drills and baseball experience brought much deserved success to a squad made of mature veterans and experienced rookies. 26 Athletics

Ready or not, it’s coming at you. Maureen Sullivan warms up her arm before the Gar-Field game. After los¬ ing to the Indians earlier in the season, the Vikes won this game 7-6. Come to momma. Teresa Wise makes a key play to first baseman Katrina Dwinell. Cooperation on the part of the players was the main goal stressed at practice. Hey batter swing. Shortstop Donna Hodgson readies herself at the plate for the approaching pitch. A second year player, Donna is a powerful strength at bat and in the field. • ' a ' ' 9 - V . 4 .. p. . • ! . • .
