Rookie Coaches Produce Winning Teams For the first time since 1973, the softball team won the Battlefield Dis¬ trict Title. This win took them to the regional competition where they lost to Warren County, the defending champions. Since it was Miss Boyd’s first encounter with softball, placing second in the region was quite an ac¬ complishment, even for the experi¬ enced team. Miss Boyd placed most of her em¬ phasis on defense. She replaced catcher Vera Drumgoole after she suf¬ fered a leg injury early in the season, with Kathy Scott. Karen Wagner also sat out the season with an arm injury. Injuries were not a setback for the team enjoyed a successful a id event¬ ful season.

Rain is no stranger to golfers, but lightn¬ ing is a great danger. A golfer with a metal club raised in the air is an ideal lightning rod. The Culpeper golf team had just begun competition with Warren County when a t hunderstorm approached. The rain was a godsend for some like John Jones who forgot his putter and was forced to putt with a three-iron. Others, like Kevin Batten who forfeited a birdie putt, were quite dis¬ appointed. John Moran experienced a shock when a lightning bolt struck in his vicinity. Yet he was still disappointed in surrendering his even par.lt soon became evident that play was futile, so they loaded the bus and headed back to Culpeper.
