America ' s Game Enjoys Success in ' 87 This year, the 1987 Varsity Baseball team ended its season with a respectable record of 14 wins and 17 losses. With the Hawks roster displaying five or six soph- omores starting every game, Coach Phil Webster thought that he got a lot ac- complished out of such a young team. He also felt that with all of his sophomores returning as juniors, they should have a very good win-loss situation for the ' 88 season. Junior Johnny Lamar was voted the Most Voluable Player for the ' 87 season, with Joe Cravens capturing Citizenship. With these two players in mind. Coach Webster stated, I had a real fun year working with the guys. In Coach Webster ' s opinion, the most important game the Hawb played was the game against Lawrence Central. This game was so important because it was the County Championship. The Hawks won the Championship for the first time since 1962. This year ' s Hawks were also the Sectional runner-ups, having beaten Mooresville in Sectional competition. The reserve team also had a successful season with its record of 9 wins and 4 losses. This is a proud, competitive group of individuals. They played well and behaved well at all times. They accomplished the first winning record for a reserve squad in many years, stated Coach Dan Clark. Sophomore Kevin Set- tles was awarded Most Valuable Player for the reserve team, with Steve Wheeler stealing Citizenship. With both the Varsity and Reserve teams ' accomplishments, Webster and Clark were pleased with the season. Junior Robert Burch confers with sophomore Tom Waites at the mound.
