Hit and Run A girls' softball team was organized for the first time in the spring of 1978. Coached by Karen Hester and her father, the young and inexperienced play- ers Qa large percentage were seventh and eighth gradersj won only one game in their first sea- son, but practiced diligently whenever and wherever they could find a field available, and looked forward to future winning seasons. The girls' track team, coached by Mrs. Marbut, was competing for the second year. To prepare for their meets, the girls spent hours doing sit-ups, push-ups, wind sprints, two-mile runs, and work outs on the dreaded leaper. They then camped out bravely in freezing weather at the Oxford Stadium for all-day Cand all- nightj meets against 1-A through 4-A schools in our area. ln the course of four meets, several of the girls placed in events on the area, sectional, and county lev- els. Two boys, John Holladay and Steve Weymouth, also competed in track - both as milers - and placed in the Sectional and Jun- ior-High County Meets, respec- tively.
