B-team baseball is big time Oigger and Bigger, with an ever- Increasing enrollment, Coaches McAnally and Brever worked together on the con- cept of a varsity B-team. It expanded the in- creasingly popular baseball program. The new team, consisting of 4 juniors, 9 sophomores, and 4 freshmen, played a rough schedule of only the toughest JV teams, and a few varsity teams. After drop- ping its opener, 10-7, to Western, they bounced back with wins over Beth Haven, 8-7, and E-town, 3-0. The team never dropped below .500 for the rest of the season. With a 27-game schedule, they had visions of winning 18. The Falcons eyed spring break and the 1st annual JV tourney to be held at B.D. Af- ter an opening win, 7-4, over Valley, the Falcons were upset, 5-4, by a fired- up Stuart team. Two weeks of rain followed and 12 games were cancelled. So, with only a week of the season left, the team took advantage and won 4 of 6 to end the season with a 9-6 record. @ Warming up before a game, Kevin Hockman dis- plays his pitching form. The varsity B-team ended the season with a winning record of 9-6.
