who’d honk or holler support when they
drove past him while he trained. He also
thanked the staff and students at the Community
Education Center, and most of all,
his loving wife Gretchen, who helped him
work up the energy to get up in the early
hours of the morning and hit the road.

Deer Valley from page 1B
Joshua Eagle went the distance for
Deer Valley, striking out seven and holding
the Panthers scoreless after Foreman’s tworun
shot despite constant loud contact off
the bat of Antioch hitters.
“Eagle is only a sophomore, but he
does a great job of competing for us – even
when we don’t make plays in the fi eld – he
just goes right back out there and competes,”
said Luquet. “They’ve got some
good hitters on that team and every game
they score a bunch of runs, but we knew
that if he could avoid walking guys and get
a few strikeouts, he’d do pretty well.”
Foreman’s big homer was the highlight
of the day for Antioch, but certainly didn’t
overshadow a great game by utility man
Percy Campbell Jr., who fi nished the day 2for-2
with a double and walk.
“Deer Valley is a good quality program.
Their pitcher kept us off balance, and
Willie Mays, could not: step away from his
sport on top.
“I’m retiring from marathon running,”
said Clare. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime
experience and I think I’m going to
keep it that way. But I’m going to continue
running 5k and 10k distances, maybe a
half marathon. I’m competitive for my
age group and I have fun running those
distances.”

not to make any excuses, but after losing a
big part of our team, it’s hard to get these
kids to believe that they can get it done without
those guys,” said Antioch head baseball
coach Ben Juarez, explaining that the team
suffered a big blow talent-wise when it lost
two of its best players due to academic ineligibility
and a disciplinary issue.
“But my hat’s off to Dennis; they have
a good program. They’re going to lose twice
to us next year – but they have a good program,”
joked Juarez.
Antioch will be holding a pair of alumni
baseball games this Saturday, May 3, beginning
at 9:30 a.m. The event will honor
the school’s 1984 NCS championship team
and pit the current varsity players against
alumni who graduated in 1980 or later,
while the JV squad will take on alumni who
graduated prior to 1980. Admission is free.
