Doreen Ross Doreen Ross, who - reached the .500 mark in her rookie season as head coach, will be back at the helm this year. The sophomore sophomore coach hedged at making making a prediction for her team. "The attitude on the team this year is strong, we really don't have one particular strength," she said. "We've got an overall decent rapport rapport on the field with each other. I think you'll see a decent, decent, consistent team this year." The high school English teacher began her coaching career in Cornwall while teaching at a senior public school. Upon her arrival in . Bowmanville, she asked to be the head coach of the baseball team, and was granted the position. 'Tve always played ladies' ladies' fastball in a league, so I do have the background knowledge of the game," she said.

As for being accepted by the players in her role as coach, Doreen said the transition transition was an easy one. "The guys were really good when I took over the team. I didn't receive any negative attitudes from any of them." "At the very first practice I told the guys that I didn't want any of them talking back to me. If they disagreed on how I was running a drill, they could come and tell me and we would discuss discuss it. They've followed the rules, and have been just super." super." The team began with 45 hopefuls back in November, and Doreen has managed to whittle the team down to 25 at the present time. She plans to carry 14 players for the six-week schedule. One of the players Doreen Doreen will be looking to for some leadership this year is hard throwing right-handed pitcher, Nick Dennis. He's the same Nick Dennis who tied for the scoring championship championship with Eagles' teammate teammate Glen Campbell during this Nick Dennis s ye "it: /ear's Jr. 'C' season, think we've got a good chance at winning the league this year," predicted the second year starter. "The attitude on the team last year wasn't good, be cause we didn't run on or off the field. Doing the little things helps make you look like a ball team." One of the things that impresses impresses Doreen the most about Nick is his ability to take on a leadership role. "He takes on the role naturally," naturally," she said. "He's a great talker, and it really pumps the guys up during a practice." Nick chose to downplay the compliment. "I feel if I stay pumped up, it will wear off on the team," he shrugged. "If I shout for a ball, hopefully the others will pick up on it. You have to have communication communication out on the field." Both Doreen and Nick feel their stiffest competition competition will come from the Henry Henry St. Hawks. The defending league champions, the East- dale Eagles, will also pose a threat. Both are hopeful that the team can repeat the performance performance of the Redmen team from two years ago. That team came within one win of playing for the DYSSA championship at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. _ The Intermediate group of the Orono Figure Skating Club performed to the song Singing In The Rain at the club's annual carnival on Saturday, April 7.
