Last year's team had an 18-5 record, the' Scarlets' top season under Gsell, but this year's squad has bettered that with a 22-5 record and a return trip to the Group 3 State final.

"I KNEW we would be tough, but I didn't think we would have the superior pitch ing we had last year with Ron Herlihy and Tom Krajlic," said Gsell. "But we've gotten the pitching from those who hadn't let us to believe they could do it, at least statistically." -Gsell began his coaching career at Ridgefield Park in 1958. After two years as freshman coach, he took over the varsity job. He's been there ever since, except for 1970 when he was on sabatical leave. The turnouts at Ridgefield Park would be the envy of any baseball coach.

Time hasn't passed Gsell by.

He's kept in touch with the changing mores of the younger set and except for a few isolated cases he hasn't had any trouble. "There's been a change in kids, both physically and mentally," said Gsell. "Kids today want to know why. If you take them out for a pinchitter they want to know why. I'll tell them I didn't think they could hit the curve.

If the boy says anything I just take him out on the field the next day and tell him to see if he could hit my curve." JOHN ROWE RICK ALEXANDER, Pascack Valley.
