Play ball Muscles are tensed as the player steps up to bat. Falcon pitcher Gary Llbanoski concentrates as he winds up, then throws the pitch. Strike! Yells the umpire. Gary, considered one of this year's star players, pitched for an impressive nine winning games. The team came out fourth in district with nine district wins and seven losses. Randy Lee and James Nichols, as the team's only two sophomores, enjoyed the prestige of being on the varsity team. Randy explained, This year was special for me due to the fact that l was one of two sophomores on the team, which really ex- cited me. One of the frustrating defeats for the team was the game against Cy-Fair. The Falcons and Bobcats were tied in the seventh inning, but Jimmy Jackson told, ln the eighth inning they hit a three run homerun to pull ahead by four. We came back two runs, but fell two runs short. A new addition to the team was Coach Brown. Our new assistant coach added a varie- ty of enthusiasm and ability, said Monte Hale. Most of all, the guys had a fun time play- ing. Even though this year's record wasn't up to par, there was a lot of enjoy- ment, grinned Monte. P Kevin Skarpa pitches hard and fast.
