With five returning Iettermen, the 1969 Reagan varsity baseball team began workouts early in Feb- ruary in preparation for the season which began on March 5. Coming back from the 1968 team which finished third in district competition were Don Denny, Rusty Campbell, Lee Walker, Alan Moore and Robert Miller. Two of the more promising pros- pects were Rickey Smith and Buster White. On this squad of 30 boys, Coach Carroll Lundin cited no one boy as being particularly outstanding as the team was relatively inexperienced with only five returning Iettermen. Of the 30 boys in the baseball program 15 boys also play B-Team. Some of the boys played both varsity and B-Team, whenever they were needed most. In the district contests there was a tight race, with the McCallum Knights and the Johnston Rams giving the Raiders the toughest opposition, as these teams had the most returning Iettermen from the 1968 season. Prior to the opening of district play, the team played in nine practice games. -1 3
