Baseball president looks toward new year Jean last years chairman of the Georgetown Baseball Associa tion is looking forward to the start of the 1991 season The new year will feature a minor and major peewee rep team as well as a rep team Aubin said registration is also expected to increase Jean Weve been getting bigger numbers each season going from about 500 when I started two years ago to over 600 this year We 11 have close to teams with that many signed up said one of the biggest signs of the associations growth was the ability to have their own peewee team instead of having the younger children combined with bantams and midgets It was very tough for the young ones because that ball was really coming at them when play against the bigger guys Com against people their own age really made a difference said one of his goals Is to make sure that trend continues gathering more players order to help improve the quality of the associations teams TBall is a good example of how well things are going We had teams in house league so getting a rep team was the next step We dont have a junior team this year but we gained one with the addition of and the other team said the other major goal for him this year is to find more volunteers to help coach the teams and umpire the games as well as gathering sponsors Volunteers are our biggest need Without them we cant run the games Its not a lot of work requiring coaches to be at about two games a week and maybe one practice if the team is keen for if Aubin stressed that umpires are also in short supply and would welcome anyone wishing to help out in that area this year He said the returning umpires know their business and would be looking forward to helping new people learn the ropes Getting sponsors won t be too difficult The ones weve had are really great with about per cent of them coming back again Were always looking for new people though Aubin said registration begins March at the Georgetown District High School from 9 3011 30 a with dates to follow Anyone interested in coaching umpiring or have other questions are invited to call Don na Blight registration at 877 8379 or Dave volunteers at Injuries may be the only thing that could prevent Georgetown District High School junior and senior volleyball teams from tak rag the Halton championship The junior team crippled by the absence of six players was forced to play the full five sets taking two hours to defeat Nelson in order to advance to the semi finals Though he wouldnt specify which players were hurting coach John Watson said he was relieved his starting middle set ter Jenn Bottomley would be returning for Thursdays days game against St Thomas Aquinas Without her I had to move some of my players around go ing to a defence I lost some power by having to put someone else in the middle Watson said having Bottomley back will enable the team to put a more powerful attack up over the net which wasnt the case in Tuesdays game It wasnt a pretty win We just played it long and ugly During the season per cent of our of fence was through the middle Against Nelson we just pull the ball up and let them make the mistakes Watson said the Nelson team stayed with their starting lineup for the entire match making no substitutions at all something be took full advantage of It got really hot in there for the players Every one of our girls got a lot of court time that day Basically it was a new line set of players going in for each game which helped keep us fresher Watson gave his players full credit for their efforts filling- In for some of their starters and not giving up after losing the second and third sets It was a real character builder for them and hopefully it will help us on Thursday Were hanging in there Rebel seniors had an easier time against M Robinson defeating the visitors in three straight sets 155 and 156 Though all the seniors were playing coach Neil Cotton said three of his starters were walk ing wounded and is hopeful they will continue to heal as the playoff progress We didnt play one of our bet ter games against Robinson They werent putting a lot of power at us when that hap pens its tough getting our tempo going Similar to the junior game the seniors were content to keep the ball in play and wait for their open opponents to give Rebels the point Seniors played yesterday against Burlington Central but results were unavailable at press time The other surviving Richardson Division team Bishop Reding is playing Lord Elgin in junior and senior semi final action The winners will play the
