A See-Saw Season The 87 Cougar baseball season definitely had it ups and downs. Under the instruction of new coach, Mr. Estes, plus several returning starters from last year's team, the team was ready to play ball. Although the team did get off to a slow start, losing their first five games. They picked up their spirits and exploded on their next opponent, the Pendleton County Wildcats. The Cougars offense showed great hitting ability by scoring 19 runs, while the defense held Pendelton to only 2. We are possibly the best hitting team in Northern Kentucky, commented Mike Dragan. Another big game, and probably the high point of the season, occurred when the Cougars took on the undefeated and top rated Campbell County Camels. Proving their hitting ability once again, the Conner Cougars rapped out 15 hits and scored 9 runs against the excellent pitching of Campell County. The Cougars pitcher, Kevin Justice, went the distance and struck out 7 batters while walking only 3. Although they had these strengths, the players agree that one of their weaknesses was their fielding ability. All in all the team was very well-rounded. They have had a great and successful season, and hopefully, it will continue next year. 96 Baseball SCORES CSHS OPPS 02 Warren East 12 07 Warren Central 13 03 Warren Central 18 11 Walton-Verona 15 01 Cov.

The 1987 Golf season started off with the basics as Coach Clore had the team out early in the season practicing and becoming confident of their up-coming matches. With good coaching the team has improved a great deal from last year, commented Kevin Bonar, but the team's one weakness is our lack of experience. The first match was April 13 against Boone County and Beechwood at Conner's home course of Boone County. Although they got off to a slow start with Beechwood winning, things then started to look up for the Cougars, who finished second in the tri-match. Finishing up the year Mike Tesson commented that the highlight of the season was shooting a 40 on 9 holes at Boone County . 1.
