Marysville plays for first SJS title in 39 years

May 24—On one of his final practices before taking the field today for a 4 p.m. showdown against second-seeded Calaveras at Sacramento City College in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV championship, Marysville High baseball coach Bill Rollins said that he wasn't even born the last time Marysville won an SJS title.

Rollins was born in 1984, a year after Marysville won its one and only SJS prep baseball championship.

1983 was a talented team coached by Byron Randolph and included a number of supremely gifted players, including an outfielder named Neil Stinson.
