The Point Loma High baseball program celebrated its season recently during a family banquet at the Bali Hai restaurant on Shelter Island.
\nThe varsity team went to the CIF Div. II semifinals before losing to eventual champion San Ysidro. Their 18-14 record under first-year head coach David Wells also included wins against some county powers.
\nWells became emotional at times when discussing the season and introducing some of his players.
\nThe former major leaguer also had high praise for his coaching staff, which included Kyle Harvey, Nick Garrett, David Camara and Mike Delgado.\u00a0
\nWells expressed optimism for coming years based on the success of the junior varsity and freshman teams.
\nThe coaching staff presented the following individual awards: Pitcher of the Year: \u00a0Cole van den Helder (junior).
\nMost Improved: \u00a0Cheyne VanArsdale (senior) and Philip Huber (junior).
\nDefensive Player of the Year: \u00a0Lawrence Perez (senior).
\nMost Versatile Player: \u00a0Seth Urbon (junior).
\nMost Valuable Player: \u00a0Cole Lemmel (senior).
\nMargaret Harvey Baseball Scholarships ($500 each): \u00a0Sean Robinson (senior) and Perez.
\nCoach Delgado Leadership Award: Lawrence Perez.
\nFormer Pointer infielder Scott Heylman, after concluding a college career at UC Davis, returned to take charge of the junior varsity program.
\nHeylman and assistant TJ Kendzora, a former San Diego State University player, teamed to lead their squad to a 20-5 overall record and a league-best 11-1 mark.
\nFreshman coaches Jeff Solis and Andy Martin (also a Pointer alum) guided their team to a 12-9-1 record.
