For the first spring in 15 years, Jerry Mondalto is not preparing for an upcoming baseball season.

The long-time Amesbury High baseball coach has no plans to coach this spring, he said yesterday. Mondalto coached Amesbury from 1983 through 2007 with the exception of a six-year span from 1988 to 1993. Amesbury athletic director Elizabeth McAndrews relieved Mondalto of his head-coaching position last October. She has not specified the reasons for Mondalto's release.

Who will be the top baseball teams this year?
