Boys' Baseball I I '1 FIRST ROW: Tom Moore, Ronnie Hudson, Pete Dukes, Jimmy Murray, Ronald Wootten, Jeffry Derrickson, and John McCabe SECOND ROW Mr Klotz coach, Lynn Bullock, Herman Rogers, Terry Dorey, Joe Lofland, Charles Cordrey, Jerry Dorey, and John Evans. THIRD ROW Bruce Hornung Barry Dodd, Richard Anderson, and David Collins. A squad of about 35 players reported for the campaign under Coach Klotz. The big gap left by graduations was in the pitching department, which was filled by Pete Dukes, who had some hard luck over the season. Nevertheless, the boys managed to acquit themselves in a commendable manner despite lack of experience at several key spots. The highlights of the season were wins over Felton, Milton, Rehoboth, and our arch rivals, J. M. Clayton. Ronald Pigeon Hudson was among the top batters in the league and although Pete only won four games he worked more innings than any other pitcher in the league. Next year's team will be coached by Mr. Lingo and he will have as a nucleus Terry and Jerry Dorey, Pigeon Hudson, Charles Cordrey, Herman Rogers, Jeff Derickson, Ron Wootten, Joe Lofland, Barry Dodd, Lynn Bullock, Tom Moore, and a host of other less experienced aspirants.
