Ball , Bats, Babes Lady Mavericks Bask In Glory Of Title We knew we had a lot of potential, but we ended up going even further than we thought we would, Coach Ka- ren Brannon said with pride. The girls' eighteen to five winning season won them a regional championship title. Perhaps the most difficult and memorable game, according to the players, was the loss to Irmo in the Up- per-State Playoffs. Amy Holmes said, We worked hard to win, so of course we were let down when we lost. Coach Brannon said that the team learned that it takes a group effort to succeed, and one individual does not determine a win or a loss, the whole Bee-Boppin' on base . , . Catherine Par- ish tagged out an Irmo player to complete a double play. iPhoto by Mike Fryel Giving it her all!

Ms. Brannon commented, This group of girls learned to get along on the field and put together their skills to form a winning team. Next year's strategy is based highly on offense. We will have to hit better, because they pitch faster than we do, and that puts us at a disadvantage, said Coach Brannon. Another winning season was fantas- tic, but according to Missy Sullivan, next year's goal is the state champion- ship. She stated, This year we were confident about winning state, so it was a little disappointing, but it will make us strive for it next year. Todd Sycks
