Four scholarships were awarded to 1980 seniors - Doug Middleton, War- rensburg, Larry Barnes, York, Nebraska, Gregg Stancer and Scott Morgan, Evangel. Scott Morgan received the teamis Most Valuable Player Award. With a team batting average of .253, the Chiefs improved from the 1979 season. Coach Pittman stressed the knowledge of the strike zone, batting swing, techniques of position, and base running skills while inside the building. From then on he stressed the team's offense and defense and the individual skills at positions while they were outside. After this year's Legion season we have a good nucleus of experienc- ed players for the upcoming season, replied Coach Pittman.
