The Gold Fever Gang The gold fever gang welcomed six re- turners back to the team this year. Two of which were seniors. The team came a long way since it first began four years ago. They took thirteen members — the whole team to Regionals, and they took seven members to state, which led to a state victory and a first place medal for Senior Chris Riddle at state. The team had many new members, but remained a strong and dedicated group. They re- corded quick pins such as Junior Otis Brown with 1:07 and Senior Larry Mer- edith with 1:15. They captured a lot of Gold and Silver this year and added to the Bronze. The Gold Fever Gang proved dedication pays off. 1. ROW 1: Mgr. Michele Nolan, 98 Ib. Albert Lazono, 126 lb.

Park View Louisa Buckingham Louisa Jefferson Prince Edward Goochland Central Amelia Prince Edward Fluvanna Amelia Goochland Central Fluvanna This year the softball team was able to place 3rd in the District, not as good as last year in which they placed Ist, but it defi- nitely was not bad. Even though they might not have come in first in the standings, they really made a lot of progress in working together this year. One player, Paula Erwin, said “We learned alot about working to- gether this year, and that makes up for not placing Ist.” Keep up the good work and you will surely be at the top once again! 17
