VOLLEYBALL The Volleyball team started practice in April for its trip to Binghamton to try and win its second straight championship in the section 4, class B Championship. 'I'he team left on a Saturday morning about nine o'clock, and arrived about ten at Binghamton North High School where we were to play. There were games held at East Junior High School and at North, the wirmer in each of these schools plays for the championship at Binghamton North. Bainbridge after losing one game of 21 to Marathon, went on to the finals, where we met Roxbury for the championship and lost. The team played good volley ball and gained second place which is a good showing out of 23 schools. Rex Thornton was elected our captain and did a good job of it. Karl Salzberg, Willie Collings, Steve Smith, and John Hackett were the spikers, while Keg Cawley, Rex Thornton, Leal Michel, Gary Holman, John Armstrong, Larry Dykman and Dave Corbin were the setters who gave the spikers the ball to slam for a point. The team had a lot of fun and we hope that this year they will win back the champ- ionship. 4 A - - -

BASEBALL The baseball team had a very drastic season, that showed two wins against twelve losses. The team hit very well but lack of pitchers hurt the team. Through the season the team lost very close games that would have been wins if the team could have com- bined their httting and pitching together. Charlie Fletcher, Dick Gerg, and Steve Smith dld the pitching throughout the sea- son. Keg Cawley had the highest batting average for the year .400 according to games played followed by Smith with .310 and Stoutenberg with .295 which showed that 'the hit- ting was very good. Steve Smith was chosen All-Star to represent Bainbridge at the annual game held at Greene this year. Games Batting Genoa Batting Player Played Position Average Player Played Position Average F.
