Although the seniors were small in number, they formed the nucleus for the Bryan varsity. Mike Plouck, leading the team with a 312 batting average, was also named Most Valuable Player. The Most Improved Player award was given to John Crow along with junior Tom Babcock. Tri-Captains for the team were Steve Michael, John Crow and Mike Plouck. The Bears, facing a tough schedule, scored only 67 runs in 16 games. However, with a young team, Bryan's varsity looks for a brighter future next season. Batgirls Barb Carlin and Mary lngle added to the beauty of the Bryan ballpark. The Reserves showed promise with a 4-4 slate under the direction of Tom Wagner. Jeff Grant and Kenny Brannan picked up the wins while the outstanding fielding and batting of Rick Saneda and Randy Thorp sparked the squad to four wins.

The graduates threw their hats into the air concluding the program.
