m@w wm T The 1981- ' 82 high school sports year was a dismal one for the junior varsity baseball team. The JV baseball team accomplished a record of one win and five losses. We almost won a game against Crockett, said trainer Billy 3 hiteley. U e were beating them in the third inning, but officials cancelled the game because of the weather. Whitely is also the trainer for the varsity baseball team. March 10, the JV baseball team opened up their bid for a district crown with a gam e against rival LBJ. Reagan lost the game 4-3. Although we didn ' t have that many practices, we should have won the game (against LBJ), said Nick Elmore, pitcher. The Raiders were leading 2-0 in the sec- ond inning but lost the game in the seventh inning when the Jaguars scored two runs. We had good players, said Coach Pat Pennington, referring to the JV team ' s season, but we had pitchers with no ex- perience. Outstanding players, according to Coach Pennington, were Steve Spinn (also on varsity), John Love, Joey Naivar, and Derron Mirtsching (also on varsity). The JV district tournament was can- celled because of bad weather, but not before they lost to LBJ in the first game of the tournament. The JV district teams were unable to make up the tournament because the varsity teams played on make-up days. Our varsity should be strong next year, said Coach Pennington.

U: - What ' s a PW? Stay ' tuned for answer After four years of doing the same ' series, ' 352 Reaganites ' left town. ' The seniors of Reagan High spent our last year mainly in celebration: as a group at Six Flags, at Port Aransas and at New Orleans. Yet, we also studied, some more than others (like valedictorian Randy Faske). Because of this year ' s newly-enacted 10-day absence policy, 1982 seniors could afford to take fewer skip days than seniors of previous years. But that didn ' t keep us from sneaking out to Decker Lake, City Park or Highland Mall once in a while. Also, meet the PWs and KB ' s here on this ' channel.
