Recently, Maine West Varsity Coach Al Carstens was asked about his team's performance in the past few games. He had this to say: "We've been making contact and hitting the ball hard, but straight at the opposing team's fielders. If we keep making contact, those fly outs and ground outs should start turning into hits."
All of the work that Coach Don Olson's sophomore team has been doing on fundamentals is paying off. The team now shows a record of 7-0 with recent wins over Niles West, 7-2, and Glenbrook South, 6-0.
In recent action on the freshman level, the "A" team lost 3-0 to Glenbrook South, while the "B" team won 14-3 against Glenbrook South. This afternoon at 4:14, the varsity Warriors will take on Glenbrook North away. The remainder of the season's games are all conference games and should be important ones for Maine West.
