arsity aseball Be the best you can be and have fun doing it. The varsity baseball team got fired up this year and made an attempt to improve last year's record. Only two former players, Jeff Buchanan and Lance Walko, returned as seniors to play for the Rams. One new senior, Jerry Dunmore, also joined the team. The rest of the 1982 team consisted of former junior varsity players who moved up to the varsity league. Coach Steve Russell said, The future looks bright because we won't lose a lot of players at the end of the season. The team motto this year was Be the best you can be, and that was what they strived for. Coach Russell pushed his team of eighteen players for three hours every weekday, and often for several hours on Saturday. He was aided by a new assistant coach, Ken Schimchak, who played for the University of Flor- ida. I looked forward to the season. The team had a lot of potential, but it was up to the players and their coaches to bring it out, observed Russell. The coach realized that the team would not be the state champs, however, according to him, uthey were a competitive team that could play with anyone. The total attitude changed for the better. The whole idea was to have fung baseball is a fun game! 3 Editor's Note: Due to extenuating circum- stances, we were unable to obtain a score- board. 1l8fVars1ty Baseball MY 1 . .. N f- l.

Girls' arsity asketball New techniques were learned despite tough season. Going through a rough period, the Girls' Varsity Basketball team had a tough season, though they learned many new tech- niques. There were only two seniors on the team, captains Leigh Gallups and Brenda Godbolt. The other five members of the team were new. Although they were inexperienced, they worked hard to improve on their weaknesses. We are a young team and we lost a lot of games, but we are looking forward to district and hopefully we can win. I think that everyone gave 100'Z1 and sometimes 100 plus, said Leigh Gallups. Our record was no indication of the teamis talent and spirit. These girls are winners and will develope into fine athletes because they have determination and a lot of guts. It took a lot of guts game after game against teams with more height and experience, but they went out fighting and always hustling, said Ms. Barbara Burrows, coach. 198 1-82 EHS Suwanee 51-54 EHS Bradford 49-54 EHS Santa Fe 76-85 EHS Buchholz 70-62 EHS Newberry 54-61 EHS Buchholz 34-49 EHS Palatka 68-71 EHS Gainesville 32-54 EHS Suwanee 53-69 EHS Bradford 32-42 EHS Forest 36-41 EHS Santa Fe 50-63 EHS Newberry EHS Palatka EHS Gainesville EHS Forest 1.
