The Most Valuable Player of the 1986 season was Senior Scott Johnson. Receiving the Citizenship Award was Senior Scott Davis. The Reserve Baseball team coached by John Taylor ended its season with a record of 5-7. I ex- pect big things out of the ' 86 and ' 87 Varsity Baseball team, stated Coach Webster.

Strong hitting, fielding, and tough practices were the keys to our productive season. Highlighting their season was be- ng the underdog at the beginning Df the season and then going on and beating Center Grove to tie for 2nd place in the Conference.
