OD Baseball SENl0Rit Led by captains, Kevin Rimes and Clayton johnson, the 1980-81 baseball team achieved success. The team made many changes, an exam- ple that illustrated this point well, was discipline. The Indians were definitely a well dis- ciplined ball club. One of the captains, Kevin Rimes, had this to say about the team: I felt that our defense was the best in the conference, and our main problem was of- fense. Midway through the season, offense ex- perienced a slump, thankfully it was only tem- porary. We had great pitching from Bobby Hoover, and our best hit- ters were Clayton johnson and Anthony Pittman. Coach Moore and Coach Perdomo were a key fac- tor in our success, they were enthusiastic and in- terested. We hope to do well in districts, and we have our sights set on a state championship. Senior members that led the team were: Ron Hosea ffirst basemanl, David Solano, Anthony Pittman, Eddie Powell fse- cond basemanj, Lon Prevatt, Leslie Harris, Mike Brunswick, Kenny Davis, Clayton Johnson fthird basemanl, Kevin Rimes lcatcherl, Wayne jefferson and joe Morales. The rest ofthe lineup was: Marty Sweat fright-fieldl, Anthony Pittman tcenter- fieldl and Greg West Cleft- fieldl. The districts were held May lst at St. Pete Catholic High School. k, :xt - as s ivtik P- ' . - Q .- t.

Scoring the first goal of the soc- cer season was Ward Smith, a sophomore. The leading scorer for the team was jimmy Knight, with three goals. Coach Tony Parra, a professional player from South America, had the experience and patience that epitomized a suc- cessful coach.
