Mission Has Not Yet Been Accomplished

Mission College bringing back athletics is good, but you should demand baseball and softball return in the spring of 2001, not the school year of 2001-02.

Baseball and softball will be at Mission College in 2001 if athletes, families, coaches and others declare war against waiting until the spring of 2002.

Fight for justice. Three years with no sports at Mission College has destroyed educational opportunities for Valley kids. Quickly write a short letter in support of returning athletics to Mission College as soon as possible, including baseball and softball in the spring of 2001.
