Rain shortened seasons The Junior Varsity Baseball team ended its season with a winning record. They complied seven wins against four losses and one tie game with Jay County. Our pitching was very adequate, commented Coach Gary Cheesman. Gary Langdon and Dave Spencer did much of the pitching for the Cubs. Among the players to gain varsity experience were Gary Langdon, pitcher; Eric Langdon, shortstop; Pat Parker, first base; and Tod Boise, behind the plate. The Freshman squad, coached by Russ Sutton, held a season record of 6-1, their only loss coming at the hands of Dekalb in a double header. Coach Sutton said the defense was good, but he did not have a chance to teach the team as much as he thinks he should have because of the weather. Sutton commented that the hitting was fairly good and that Larry Williams held the season high batting average. His pitching staff was made up of Dave Dickey and Craig Reese.
