BATTER UP: Over the last two years the baseball team, coached by Ron Sebastian, has fallen short of winning tne state title. Many Senior Bears started practicing before the season opened in hopes of winning the state title. Coach Sebastian said, Our main strength this year was hitting, speed and experience from returning ball players. The Bears began their organized practices February 23. Those who were able to make it through the final cut were awarded a posi- tion on the team which played in eleven reg- ular games and four tournaments. Eight high schools from Central Arkansas formed a new Metro Conference. These schools included Sylvan Hills, Catholic High, Jacksonville, Cabot, Sheridan, Biyant, and McClellan. The conference was formed to generate a greater baseball interest by devel- oping a goal for the teams. Members of the baseball team were Tracy Brown, Kevin Roberts, Randy Ward, Mike Foster, Mark Meador, Keith Rankin, Randy Hindman, James Scott, Joey Mayo, Glenn Gwatney and Tracy Henard. racy Brown

Golfer's Motto: shooting eagle not illegal “We’re Number One!” should have been the motto of Deb- bie Dawson and Debbie Brinkley. They made up the girs’s golf team and won the tournament this fall which made them Team Champs. Even though their tournament was held earlier this year, they played the teams from various schools in the district. “Most of their games will be played at Pine Valley and at Bums Park — hopefully at North Hills Country Club, too.” said Coach Paul Cody who took over the job of coaching both the girl’s and the boy’s golf teams again this year. Debbie Brinkley has played for two years now, and as Debbie Dawson said, “I have been playing ever since I was 10 or 11.” The boy’s golf team had tryouts in the spring. Eight boys made the team which was split into four on the A team and four on the B team. Coach Cody had qualifying matches before every game to see who “could make the A team and who could make the B team.” The boys that returned to play were Bo Brinkley, Clarence Goolsby, David Miles, Jimmy Esch, Roger Lancaster, and Jason Moore. The new players wee Mark Stal- lard, Mike McFarlane, Glen Perciful, Lin Peeler, Carl Madson, and Mike Davenport. The conference tournament was held in April and the state tournament in May.
