Several gloves should see action at first base, including those belonging to Vinnie Martelli, Chuck Marshall and Donny Allard. Marshall and Allard suffered from horrendous starts at the plate last season and couldn't recover, both finishing below 150.

The hoopsters had little hindrance in their shooting, and most everyone who played came away with eight or ten points. Frenessa Hall led the pack with...
