The tairislloillfibviillogliging Things uch attention is given to the boy's baseball program, but the girl's baseball team is changing things. During the 1984-85 season, the team went to the state playoffs. We were a talented team last year, but we did not realize what power we had. We played very confident all season until we reached the State Tournament. The in- experience showed up and at this time our confidence was blown. We lost to a team, I had a really great time and l hope we will be able to win the state cham- pionship in 198o. Susan Williams Girls' Softball Playoffs Score Board Denham Sldell Sgrfngs 2 8 Denham Barbe Sgrfngs 4 O Darbe, that eventually lost in the finals to Delaire, a team that we had previously beaten two times in District, said Nilslsi Lead- er, head coach. Going to the playoffs was special to the team because not every team got that far. Junior Susan Williams said, Being able to play in the state tournament was very ex- citing to me because there are only a few teams that are able to participate. During the playoffs, the team's confi- dence played a major role. During the playoffs, when we fell be- hind, we lost confidence in ourselves. With more confidence in ourselves, l feel that we could have done much better in the play- offs, said sophomore Angie Malcany. The coaches and team are loolsing for- ward to the 1985-86 season. We have a lot of experience coming bocl-1 this year and hopefully with this exper- ience the confidence of the team will hold out until we win the last game of the sea- son, said Nilslsi Leader. For all the hard wotls that was put into last year's season, the coaches and team deserved a lot more than what was accom- pIished, said junior Wanda Coston, third year manager of the softball team, I t's a close call but sophomore Angie Malcany is safe when she slides into second base during the playoff game with Slidell.
