iWorking Together JTWFIQQSIEQ1 This was not one of those seasons where we were not blessed with a lot of talent or success, stated Coach Monty Rurey of his 1981 JV baseball team. To im- prove whatever you are doing, you must play. Our playing time, as a result of the rainy weather was limited, and consequently, our improvements were not as appar- ent as they might have been, explained Coach Rurey. The team earned a season record of one win and four losses. Due to relatively low turnout, the JV and freshmen were basically the same team. Robert Kellerhalls was one of the few non-freshmen contributing to the JV team. Since the teams were basically the same, coaching was done by both Freshman Coach Randy Holland and Rurey. During practices, Rurey and Holland worked together. Rurey is a tough coach. He yells, but when he does he's right, and he teaches us, expressed Freshman Robert Key. The freshmen team compiled a season record of three E: ti i ,,,, grr, 1. ', s ' ttiii g wins and two losses. Coach Holland, a former Marshall trainer, was new to the Marshall coaching staff. Bus drivers were always mistaking him for a player, said Mark McBride, short stop, referring to Hollandis youth- ful appearance. At the beginning of the season we were not together as a team, stated pitcher Robert Key. Near the end of the season many boys had dropped off the team, leaving barely enough freshmen to play. To look at it positive- ly, this resulted in more of a team feeling. We had to play together to make it work, explained right fielder Tony Calvert. One of the highlights of the freshmen season was their win over a JV team from Jackson. It's a good feeling to know that, being freshmen, we were able to beat a JV team, commented left fielder Tony Sneath. Coach Rurey summed up the freshmen season, The freshmen level was a good group of athletes that per- formed well in all catagories of the game, offense as well as defense.
