The Dallas Post Sports _Tinner moves on up to high school head coaching slot je : Section 2 Wednesday , April 8, 1998 By JENNIFER KLAIPS Post Correspondent DALLAS - It takes more than putting players on a field to make a team. It takes ability, a good attitude, and unity among the members. That is exactly what can be found in the Dallas softball team. That is alsowhy the coaches believe their players truly are a team. A new element in the mix this year is the addition of a new head coach, Joyce Tinner. Tinner pre- viously coached the Dallas junior high team for two years. She is replacing Jay Pope, who served as coach for 18 years. In her transition from coaching junior high to senior high, Tinner 3 noted some differences. “There's a different level of maturity,” that can be found in the girls, Tinner commented. In addition, she said this year’s team of 13 girls is smaller in comparison to the jun- ior high turnout. “It’s easier to work with a smaller number,” Tinner said Many of the freshmen and sophomores on the team have been coached by Tinner in junior high. This enhances the program because, as Tinner said, “The play- ers already know the coaching philosophy and style.” Tinner is assisted by Christina Neyman. The coaches believe the Mountaineers should do well this season if they play solid defense.
