Winds Hamper, Help Golf Season Most of the practicing and most of the golf matches took place in 20 to 30 mph winds. One player commented, We didn ' t even have to hit the ball in that weather. If we were lucky, the wind was on our side. It carried the ball. But even with all the wind and rain, the golf team pulled through with another good season. There were more spectators and this helped to boost team morale, plus five members of the team were returning for second and third seasons. The team ended the season with a 5-7 record. At the athletic awards ban- quet. Coach George McKeIvy awarded Pat Lawrence the Most Outstanding trophy and Mike Cummings the Most Valuable.

Moonlighting Lancers Make Critical Error i ' ' mi The baseball team began the sea- son with hopes of making it to the regional play-offs three years in a row. But with one game to go, their 11-7 record gave them third place. Then, in the last week of play it was discovered that three players had violated a VHSL rule by playing on a non-school team. The critical error was made and had to be paid for. All games except one had to be forfeited which left the Lancers with a 1-17 season. The team was led by seniors Eddie Pace with 18 hits and a .346 average, Larry McAlexander with a 4-2 pitch- ing record, Willie Martin with 13 RBI ' s Lionel Nolen with team spirit and constant infield chatter, and Harold Gravely with a .327 average. Junior McKinley Stockton scored 16 runs, had a pitching record of 6-5 and a .395 average. Starting at second base were freshman Randy Camp- bell and at right field sophomore David Cole. At the awards banquet for athletes, Larry McAlexander was awarded the Most Valuable trophy and Eddie Pace, the Most Outstanding. TOP: A game during school gives students a break from sixth period.
