Defending Champions Play Ball. 4-.E 41 ani Coach Paul Lance, an avid baseball fan, is enthu- siastic about the '78 season. Practice began in February with two and a half hour sessions to prepare the players for district competition. According to Coach Don Hatcher, approxi- mately four dozen bats were used until the wooden bats were replaced with aluminum ones. Now the team uses a dozen wooden and four aluminum bats. All equipment is provided with the exception of the player's glove which he must furnish for himself. Travel to the district games on the home field and in nearby cities is by the familiar Yellow Hammerp but out of town games are by char- tered bus. All games are climaxed with the fa- vorite menu of chicken fried steak with all the trimmings! When the dust settled, Bobby Hall knew he was safe at third againl Coach Lance holds a mid-game conference at the mound with pitcher Eric jones. Coaches Hatcher and Lance act as substitute pitching ma- chines before the game. Baseball 29
