SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW CO-ED DIVING spinning into spring season BOYS’ BASEBALL steps up to bat By Jack Reuter The boys’ varsity baseball team started their season off with a 6-1 win against George Washington High School, on Feb. 26. Junior Mark Graham crushed two home runs in the first inning, setting the trend for the rest of the victorious game. The boys’ season looks good for this year, in large part to an experienced, senior-heavy team. They ended last year with an 18-10 overall standing, but the boys’ are eager to break this record going into the 2020 season. By Kyla Seeley The competition is heating up in the diving pool. Six people make up the 2020 team: juniors Camille Davis, Jesse Martinez, and Sophie Taubman, sophomores Oliver Samuel and George Shryock, and freshman Carson Camp. Their coach, Miranda Maas, also coaches for the Redwood team, so they often have to alternate locations and share the pool with the other team. Regarding competition with their team, Davis said “a lot of them are ex-gymnasts, and which is pretty good because they can already flip and twist.” With standout divers like promising freshman Carson Camp (with past experience diving with a club team) and returning veteran Jesse Martinez, the Drake team will put up a strong fight this season. 21 The Jolly Roger | April 2020 Photos by Kyla Seely Toby Gibbons Winter Snell
