WWW Ouch! It cost Ryan Henry a bloody nose, but he successfully picked off an unlucky Nottoway runner trying to steal second with a throw from catcher Mike Clary. We would loose 7 — 8. Sacrifice Hits IIM9 BATTER ti It’s tough to play your best game ever and not have anyone see it. Well, sure a few girl friends and proud parents, but spring sports just don’t pull the crowds that some sports do. Baseball proved no exception but that Bulldog tenacity helped the team through another year to remember. With a respectable but non-headline grabbing record, the team eraned a reputation of solid, if not fantastic, play. The hitting was good, the fielding was good. The pitching was good. But against more powerful teams we found ourselves on the loosing end as often as not. Two new items at the games helped the team’s pride — two things that made us look professional. An outfield fence, with flags, was erected this spring. There had been something out there before but it was not as im¬ pressive as this fence. Now a ball player could really say he knocked one out of the park. And Night Games — just like the big leagues! Lights that could be seen for miles announced that we had a game. 28 Sports Baseball

The Girls m pm it And go they did — to other schools because our track was not up to standard requirements. But that was OK; for the first time we saw a coach just for the girls and a seperate team just for the girls. When the girls found out they had their own coach a feeling of pride sped through the ranks. They were noe a seperate unit. Then the girls found out that they went as their own team, not just some people to fill out the team, but as their own team. The number of students to go out for track and the consistant effort of the members showed a renewed interest in a long-quiet sport. The Flash!
