What a Game The Varsity Baseball team had a good year. Despite the number of first year players, the team worked well together. They practiced many long hours to win games and the team suffered most in the area of pitching. Later in the year the schedule also played havoc on the team. Several games were rained out or moved to another date due to Prom or other events. Sometimes the team would have in addition to school work tired them out. No one can play his best game when he’s tired. The team got off to a good start, with Alaric Gust even getting 3 homeruns in a game. Near the end of the season the team fell back, however, and lost its chance for the playoffs. 1. Raymond Mottley prepares to go out on the field and play a good ballgame. 2.

The season was really a rough one, as Coach Will Robinson will agree. The team played in weather so cold that the CHS pitcher could hardly hold the ball. They played in wind storms blowing so much sand that the batters could hardly see. And by the end of the season they played in weather that was incredibly hot. Still they finished with a winning season. 3. Mike Bernard carefully watches the batter. 4. Coach Robinson makes ready for the pitch while Mike Bernard lies in wait. 5. 1981 JV Baseball Team.
