Netters, Linlcers Finish Paced by doubles team Todd Beel and Robbie Cowin who finished runners-up in the State tourna- ment, the Seaholm tennis team finished third in State. As far as the regular season went, the varsity netters made up of Todd Beel, Carter Ryan, Kurt Hoffman, George Stephens, Robbie Cowin, Bill Potter, Rick Merrit and Scott Moore came on strong to win seven of their first eight meets before dropping three crucial contests to Cranbrook, Kimball, and Berkley. In doing so, along with their weak third place finish in the SMA league meet, the Maples finished a rather disappointing third in the SMA. Losing six of the team's ten lettermen, the 1971 season should prove quite interesting. Lettermen re- turning are seniors Robbie Cowin and George Stephens, and juniors Bill Potter and Kurt Hoffman. Led by captain Randy Erbach, Coach O'Donnell's golf team finished the season with a respectable 7-5 record. Their best performance of the season was against arch rival Groves fone of the golf powers of the statel, with an excellent combined score of 197. .AA .-.1 117 fy, ww f 4, we Wh if ,V , L W , I ff , f, f' ,df f yi, .W , ff! ,N V - 'f my 4' 1 in.,- Q' 0, 'A gf 145 455 465 100

ll-4 Record Wins Title Seaho1m's 1970 baseball team turned in one of its peak performances as the team won its first SMA title with a 11-4 record. Bolstered by ten returning lettermen, the Maples had a squad strong in pitching and hitting. Sparkplug of the Maples was captain Jim Hagen who played first base. Pitchers included two stand- outs, John Bratten and Gary Rinkenburger - the former won the coveted Mintling Baseball Award as the outstanding player of the year. Rinkenburger posted the best won-loss record with seven wins and two losses. Ed Neff led the team in batting with a .350 average. It is not normal for a baseball team to end a game in a tie but it happened to the Maples this year. Playing on fields without lights. coaches have to agree to call the game at the end of an inning when dark- ness overtakes play. The second meeting between Seaholm and Kimball resulted in an unusual 2-2 tie - the game being called after the 13th inning. After the regular season, Seaholm participated in the annual Pontiac Invitation Baseball Tourna- ment. 99
