TH T CLASSIC STYLE . . . Leads to an Improved season It was a year of ups and downs for the Anderson County Bat'Cats. The 'Cats ended their season with a record of 8 wins against 13 losses. It was an enjoyable season! said first year Head Coach Larry Basham. We didn't win all that we want- ed to, but everybody tried. Highlights of the season include two grand slam homers by Rudy Johnson at home against Lexington Sayre and by Randy Gillis at Spencer County Both of these helped the 'Cats to victories. At first I didn't think it was going to go over, said Rudy about his homer, but it didn't take me long to realize that it was out of the park. It was my first one of the year, and I felt good! According to Coach Basham, one of the most consis- tent players for the 'Cats was senior Matthew Carlton who hit four homeruns in four straight games. It was a great feeling, said Matthew. I just hit a streak and kept going. The best game of the year came when the 'Cats beat Frankfort. Everything was as close to perfect as it could be, stated Coach Basham. Everyone played tremendous!

THAT CLASSIC STYLE . . . Puts the golf team Into the swing The 1987 golf team did well in the season after not having a strong team for a few years. Senior Bud Taylor and junior Laurie Goodlett did well enough in the regional tournament to advance to the state. I was second in my region by shooting a round of 73, said Bud. I have been practicing very hard and hope to do well in the state golf tourna- ment. Laurie won her regional tournament by shooting a round of 82. I played good in the tournament but there were many things that I could have done to play better, she said. Sophomores Eric Pittman and Mark Richard, as well as freshman Jonathon Earnest, did well in the region to help the team finish fifth, but only Bud and Laurie went to the state. Coach Gary Stevens was impressed by the enthusi- asm of the team. The team did well, to have been all younger than usual, he said. Bud Went to the state to tie for the eleventh posi- tion, while Laurie tied for fifth. FRONT ROW: Ionathon Earnest, Eric Pittman.
