Ramblings Reflections on fastball by Jack McLaren Now that the fastball season is over, I have looked back' and assessed the performance of the new Russell Junior team. Although there have been ex- cellent Russell fastball teams in the past, this was the first attempt at putting together a Junior team. The reason for doing this was _ quite simple. We had a good solid core of local boys, who if denied the opportunity to play here, would surely go elsewhere -- that would probably mean the end of fastball in the town. In fact there was some concern at the local team's performance during the few years previous to this past season. It appeared that we might be losing some of the local talent to other teams in the area. The decision was made to start a Junior team. I would be the coach and Jim Sullivan would be the manager of team operations. New uniforms were purchased, thanks to donations by several local business firms and private in- dividuals. (By the way, team Operating costs including uniforms, were in excess of $2500). The team would operate in the South-Carleton Fastball League and we would enter as many Intermediate Tournaments as we could. Local boys were used as much as possible to fill the team roster, but it was necessary to carry a couple of players from outside the area. What were the teams ac- complishments? I feel the most important accomplishment was to put Russell back on the map as very real contenders in fastball circles right from Cornwall to- Oshawa. The team proved that it could take on the best In- termediate opposition anywhere within these areas- and win. Highlights of the year were: a) Champions of the Embrun In- termediate Tournament. b) Champions of the Consolation Round of the Russell Intermediate Tournament. c) Finalists in the Championship game of the Berwick Intermediate Tournament losing 1-0 to Corn-. wall. d) A tough 1-0 loss to Morrisburg in 10 innings, in the Moose Creek Intermediate Tournament. e) Undefeated in South Carleton league play. f) Eliminating Carlsbad in three games straight only to lose a tough final series to South Gloucester. g) Represented the area in the Kemptville Junior Tournament losing in the quarter finals to Smiths Falls, who eventually played in the Championship game. x h) Last but most important was the fact that the team represented the community in a way that -everyone could be proud of -- they were excellent ambassadors. The team had a few problems "'getting up" for house league tournaments and for some South Carleton house league games. The mix of House League with In- termediate level competition does create problems. Next season we may go strictly with Intermediate opposition. It takes a lot of time and effort to operate a competitive team. I had considerable help throughout the season -- Jim Sullivan as team manager looking after financial matters, entering tournaments etc., -- Frank Thompson as coach, equipment manager, team disciplinarian -- Marilyn Sullivan as the most efficient and depen- dable scorekeeper and statistician any team could ask for -- Don Oshier who helped with coaching - during the early part of the season and was always a loyal fan. Also in the latter.category were Harold and Mabel Gamble, .Russ and Muriel Hay, Lois Woolsey, Deb- bie McVey and Rosie Wigcheren. Hopefully the team will remain together for many years. This season was only the start but_a good one. I foresee a few changes in personnel in order to gain strength at a few positions, but these should be minimal. There is a good nucleus of talent to build around -- next year should be even better. ; ; new lack Russell Warriors team manager Bob Clarke has assumed extra duties this season. As well as team manager, he was recently elected as President of the Cambridge- Russell Intermediate B Hockey League. The league has taken ona new look this season in that there will be no body contact allowed. Apparently there was concern among league officials that last years play was much too rough, so it is hoped that by introducing this new rule it will be more entertain- ing for fans. It will be interesting to see fan reaction, but it appears to be a step in the right direction. Bob reports that the Warriors have started team try-outs and he is hoping that some of last years graduating Juniors will stay with the Club this season. Home games will be played 'every' Friday night bably begin about 1 November:.'.'." ey
