Freshmen outnumber others on JV
freshmen outnumber the other classmen on the Wawasee junior varsity baseball team. “And they’re making freshmen mistakes,” says their coach Gregg Minegar. But overall, the coach says this year’s team has more talent than last year’s team. And evidence of this is the fact that coach Larry Shook drew a good number of players from the JV squad early in the season to supplement his varsity starters. “I’m surprised at some of our sophomores this year who were weak last year and did a pretty good job for Shook,” Minegar explained. The JV team has pitched four no hitters this season — an inheard of thing last year. The team has also been fielding better, their coach has observed
