Tough ehedule Hampers Comets Due to a tough schedule, the Comet baseball team suffered an up and down season. The Comets finished the season with a record of 13-20. The record was misleading because eleven of Kelley's losses came by one run. The season did have some highlights. The first victory of the year was Coach Jim Woolridge's 100th career victory at Kelley. The victory was an 11-7 decision over Class SA Hale. The 1985 Comets consisted of mainly Seniors. Shannon Reed and Greg Glover led the team in hit- ting with averages of .440 and .4-09, respectively. Reed and Clover both three year starters made First Team All-City. Reed made the team as an out- fielder, while Glover was the First Baseman. Jeff Santee, another three year starter, and Rob .lezek were the Comets ace pitchers. Santee proved to be a hard-luck pitcher finishing with a record of 2-4, which included a one-hitter against Webster. Santee suffered the loss as the Comets were beaten 1-0. Included in the Comets tough schedule was a total of seven games against the Class 4-A and SA state champions, Webster and Bartlesville. The Comets took two out of the three games with Bartlesville. The final victory came in the second round of the Metro Tournament. 1 Jeff Santee brings the heat. 2 Coach Woolridge celebrates his 1 00th victory. L 4.- 173

Although their record was not great., the Bishop Kelley Junior Varsity was competitive. The team, made up of freshmen and sophomores, played a tough schedule. Many of their losses came to 5A schools. Ben Martin and Leon McNally han- dled much of the pitching duties for the Comets. Jim Wilely also pitched for the JV before moving to the varsity, Short- Stop Jason Reed and Centerfielder Tony Alonso led the Comets offensively. The team may have had a tough season this year, but the prospects of Kelley baseball look good. 1 . Brad Jones dares any runner to steal. 2. Leon McNally fires a strike.
