In their only double-header of the year, Blue Devil nine split twin games with hosting Orange Hornets. A balanced hitting attack produced the victory in the opening game as the Devils won 6-5. However, in the nightcap, the Hornets stung back at Culpeper batsmen 7-5. Led by power hitting Stephen Southard and Luther Stanley, Devils came close to upsetting a strong Lane team. A late inning rally, however, fell short as the Black Knights edged the outclassed Blue Devils 4-3. Southard singled to drive in two runs in the fifth inning and Stanley scored in the sixth to produce the tallies. Good fielding by Gary Lillard and Stephen Southard failed to stop Spotsylvania as Knights nipped Culpeper 2-1. The lone run came on a Curtis single driving in William Thornhill. Although winning no contests, the Junior Varsity baseball team gained valuable experience. Numerous errors and insufficient hitting led to the downfall of Little Devils. STRIKE ONE— CCHS’s ace pitcher Michael Curtis throws the perfect pitch to Jeffrey Massie of the Stafford Indians. 24

Track Devil cindermen break four records in season DOWN THE HOME STRETCH-Devil sprinter French Bache races to the finish line capturing first place in the 440 yard run against the visiting Stafford Indians. Breaking four records during the year, Cul- peper Cindermen went undefeated in dual com- petition until their last meet of the season with Orange. Records broken during the five meets in- cluded the triple jump, the mile relay, the two mile, and the one-half mile relay in their vic- torious season. Boys who placed either first or second in district meet events were eligible to compete in the Group IB State Meet. Blue Devils had two seniors and one junior to qualify. David Van Lieu placed third in the two mile with a time of ten minutes, twenty-four seconds. Injuries and illnesses plagued the team all season and at the State Meet lessened their chances. Leading scorers were French Bache, Joseph Coates, Wayne Deal, David Gulas, Edward Lee, Ronald Utz, David Van Lieu, and William Yowell. A young team, composed mainly of freshmen, learned how to run, hurdle, high jump, and pole vault under Coach Halley’s supervision.
