Getting Into The Swing Most of the last year's base- ball team returned this year, bringing more experience and skill for this season. There was a positive out look about the team from the very beginning. Said senior Dean Ad- ams, at the opening of the sea- son, There's no way we can't have a winning season with coaches like Mr. Howard and Mr. Lautenf' The only negative aspect of baseball this year was the fact that no games could be played at Glenn. The home games were played at Civitan Park due to the new football stadium. The team worked hard this year, perfecting the skills they had from last year's work to- gether. Practice's were even longer than usual, because they had to be held at Kernersville Elementary School. The team had to travel to the field, prac- tice, then come home which took up a lot of time. Senior Jeff Howerton said, Though the practices get long and interfere Competition 5 ii! Varsity Baseball: T. McCann, S. Jenkins, J. Howerton, S. Barringer, D. Adams, R, Bullins, S. Martin, R.

With most of the players re- turning from the last year, being on the team was special. Said junior Sandy Bullins, Every- body works together, and - win or lose - we're still all one team. Credited with a positive atti- tude and togetherness, the 1986 Varsity baseball team was one to remember. , ,,,.. , .. M., .. . . WE, ... i. Ai Wg 1 my

Raising Dust And Bobcat Spirit Raising dust, teamwork, and Bobcat spirit, the Girls softball team, coached by Mr. Stanley played with intensity. Having worked together last year, they hoped for a supportive team and a winning season. At the begin- ning of the season, Coach Bau- guss said, If their attitude re- mains good and their commit- ment is high we'll have a very successful season. Even with the possibility of a winning sea- son, softball is very competitive and a lot of hard work. Why do they do it? Said junior Rae East, Varsity Softball I play because it's fun. You learn to work together as a team, and how to speak out. Out on the field, you can't be shy. Sophomore Angie Smith also commented, I play softball be- cause I enjoy the competition. I want us to go all the way this season. No matter why they do it each girl on the Varsity softball team has an individual drive and ex- pectation that keeps them play- ing hard. Through their game knowledge and teamwork, their season should be a hit.
