52 OUTSTANDING SENIOR ATHLETES Baseball Last year's varsity baseball team was a tough act to follow this year. Three showed that they had what it took to be winners. Second baseman, Johnny Ar- riago produced excellent fielding and hitting all year. He finished the season with an average of .351 with 2 homeruns and 17 RBI's. Clay Davis, a catcher, pro- vided 12 RBI's and an average of .308 at the plate. He is also a former district player. Both Arriago and Davis have been regulars to the team lineup. Just this year, Ronnie Johnson has come into his own. He was the number one pitcher in the rotation. He spoke soft- ly but carried a big stick. He was the most productive player with an average of .441 with 10 steals and 18 RBI's. Gymnastics This year's gymnastics team was one of the strong teams Lakeview has ever seen. The major cause for t success was three seniors that would not quit. Gina G gin has been a captain for two years. She has been American on the uneven bars, floor exercise and the around. She is a two year All American on the balar beam. Robbin Leggett was much the same. She was American in five events and placed second in state the uneven bars.

7 M Golf s Best Year This year's golf season for Lakeview was a u- ique one to say the least. After years and years f not winning a medal, this year's team took a sur- rising third place finish in their last and most im- ortant tournament of the year, the district tour- . ament which was held at the Mesquite Municipal Golf Course. The third place showing was especially gratify- ing for Coach David Knight, who announced that this year was to be his last as golf coach. The district tournament was full of firsts. akeview senior golfer Jim Parker shot a 73 to set Lakeview record for the lowest eighteen holes ournament total. Senior Bo Brownlee had a spec- tacular double eagle on his way to a fine round of 77. Junior golfer Scott Kirby and senior Rudy lKlancnik helped the Patriot cause greatly with consecutive rounds in the middle 80's. All in all, the 1984 golf team has been the most productive in the history of the Lakeview golf program. Next year's golf coach will be Ms. Turner. She will have only four returning golfers: Paul Tomlin- son, Scott Kirby, Arron Moser, and Jim Gregg. .... K est Bo Brownlee chips the ball onto the fairway. M' NYY Mm K H it , ,,,, Y rig?
