After a long delay due to the ever insistent rain, the Cougars took a Spring training trip to Nashville, Tennessee, but rain only allowed one game in which they won. Maintaining confidence and a positive outlook wasn’t easy, but a sophomore, Shane Burch, sparked the Cougars with a home-run agains Ludlow, his first varsity hit. Showing his attitude for hustle John Owens, played at third base, caught two foul balls while diving over a fence during the Conner vs. Simon Kenton game. The Cougars put the pieces into place by ending the sea- son with a winning record of 6-5. I. Preparing for the pitch is Shane Burch. 2.

Rain Rain Go Away I he 1984 softball team would have had to adorn themselves with raincoats and galoshes if they were to partici- pate in any of their rained out games. But once the season got started it was up and down with a loss to Newport Catholic and a great comeback against Campbell County. Two games proved to be memorable. One in which Chris Karlosky hit the winning run at the bottom of the eighth inning making the score 6-5 over Walton-Verona. The other game was a double header against Boone County. The triumph was a score of 11-3 and the second at a tremendous 8-3. The Cougar softball team was victorious. The outlook of the future for the Lady Cougars is very prom- ising. Despite the loss of players like Nancy Grieve, who showed tremendous ability playing short stop, and Lisa Rettig. who was an outstanding outfielder, the Lady Cougars ought to have a winning season once again. Also to be commended is hitter. Allison Ryle, who was a successful pitcher for three years and Jessie Holt, who contributed her time and skills despite a sprained ankle at mid-season. Regardless of the rain the team pulled out an 11-5 season and is looking forward to a brighter season next year. I. Allison Ryle shows her ability to pitch a perfect strike. 2.
