W Coach John Vance's Lancer quint turned in an ad- mirable performance this year. The jayvee squad posted five victories in the'year, while losing three others only by one point. Having gained both experience and poise from their early season losses the boys were able to play smooth co-ordinated ball through the last half of the season. Win or lose the Lancers were able to display fine sportsmanship in representing their school well. Bobby George drives past two Vikings for a score. IO4

Well, it's back to work, thinks Sonny Pearson, as the Raiders take the field again. I06 During the spring of '63, twenty-five eager boys worked every day to be ready for their first baseball game. This intense practice paid off with an 11-6 victory over Clarke County. The Raiders also won games over Herndon, G. C. Marshall, and Loudoun Valley. The Raider pitching staff was strengthened by veteran Benny Mullins, who boasted a 4 and 1 record this season. l Many underclassmen obtained positions on the starting nine. Sophomore catcher Sonny Pearson led the team with a batting average of 361. The climax to the Raiders' successful season was topping Loudoun Valley in a thrilling ten inning game. As a result the '63 Raiders became county champions-a just reward for a fine team.
