' ©My Although the varsity baseball team did not wifi district, Coach Pat Pennington felt his team did better than expected. We had a better season than was ex- pected, Coach Pennington said. We only had two returning starters, so we didn ' t ex- pect to win as many games as we did. It was predicted that the varsity baseball team would finish the season near the bot- tom of the district standings, but the baseball team proved the prediction wrong as they finished the year with a season record of 18 wins and nine losses. The baseball team finished third in the first and second halves of district play. According to Coach Pennington, the team ' s best game was against the Lanier Vikings. Lanier won the first-half cham- pionship, but Reagan was able to beat them in an impressive game. It was the first time in playing them that the team beat them, Coach Pen- nington said. Sophomore pitcher Don McCoy had an impressive season with a pitching record of nine wins and four losses. Other players who had outstanding years, according to Coach Pennington, were Doug Fletcher, Jon Paul Trial, and Gerald Wright. And as far as next year is concerned. Coach Pennington says things look good. We ' re expecting good things from the JV team, he said.
