New coaching staff for Co-op juniors A brand new coaching staff is leading the Exeter Co-op Juniors in- to the 1987 season and that staff is bent on results. Anchored by manager Brad Gregus, in his sixth year with the club which he had a hand in founding, the staff is made up of coach Don Currell and assistant coach Ron Anderson. Currell has a long baseball and fastball history to draw on. He played hardball as a youngster in Goderich and then went on to play senior ball with Oakville Oaks. After that he spent some years playing fastball in Leamington. Currell said.Thursday night prior to a game against Tavistock (which Ex- eter won by forfeit) that he and Anderson needed to get a good look at the team in actionso that they could use the players on hand in their most effective positions.

"Because Ron and I are both new, we knew we had to get to know the kids," Currell said. "We've got a lot of young players on the team right now. A lot of them are Midget -aged. They walk up here now and all of a sudden they've got a 20 -year-old throwing at them instead of a 15 -year-old." Currell maintained that once the younger players get a few more games under their belts, they will be more confident and consequently, more effective. To date, Coop Juniors have played seven exhibition and regular season games. The team cur- rently holds a win -loss record of 4-3. "We've got a good nucleus here." Currell said. "It's just a matter of fin- ding out where the young guys are go-, ing to fit in." Anderson, assistant to Currell, agrees with that outlook. Like his counter -part. Anderson comes from a baseball background in Northern On- tario. A first time coach. he said Thursday that it was good to be in, volved in baseball again.

If nothing else, the new staff's coaching philosophy should steer the team toward another successful season. At the beginning of the year. Currell layed down the corner -stones for the team: play as a team and don't get down on each other. - "And all through it all," Currell added, "They've got to remember that it's just a game."
