A Running Tradition - 7 A f TRS Otis 2 ee es lanes — 4: Oe etme atts. 5 Pi a ati eo Pe ee | Pete ie The boys and girls cross country teams worked hard this past fall to continue their motto of success, “A Running Tradition.” Their success was obvious in their excellent sea- sons. The boys went undefeated until the district tournament where they came in second. Barry Maroney and Hank Schepker led the boys through this successful sea- son. The girls also did ex- tremely well. Tracey Slater led them through an unde- feated season including the district tournament. Both teams placed well in the Regionals and went to several college invitationals to compete, such as William and Mary, Georgetown, and George Mason. They did well in these and defended their title as champions in the N.C. State Wolfpack Invitational. Both the boys and girls cross country teams did well this past year, and they hope to be as successful next year. Girls Cross Country.

Losing to Hopewell by a score of 5-4, the JV team nevertheless had an incredible year finishing with a 17-1 record. Excelling on both offense and defense, the JV team typified Mona- can’s strength in spring sports; and a balance came through hard work and tal- ented individuals working as a team. Offensively, the squad bat- ted an impressive .340 and never scored less than four runs in any contest through- out the entire season. Leading the way was John Adkins who batted .415 and pounded 14 extra base hits to lead the team. Rodney Cole, the team’s jackrabbit, batted .408 on the year and led the team in both bases stolen and runs scored. The team’s power came from Todd White who, at the cleanup position, bat- ted .357. Bill Pearman pro- vided additional slugging punch and in one game batted two back to back home runs. Defense was another strong suit for the JV team. The pitching staff was particular- ly strong, giving up more than three runs only four times in the season. Bobby Boothe led the way with a 9-1 record and Wx fh a team low 1.67 ERA. John Adkins and Todd White each finished 3-0 and Sonny Kidd pitched strongly in six relief appearances. Other strong defensive players included Kurt Hine in centerfield, Ed- die Burleson, who at second base, had the least errors of any infielder, and Bill Pear- man at catcher. All in all, the JV Baseball team helped Monacan to complete what could be called a “‘dream”’ year in spring sports. With such fine young players coming up to help out the Varsity baseball team, Monacan baseball should re- main a powerful force to deal with in the future. pig Zs i t, j vs FRONT ROW: Pat Smith; Chris Devood; Bill Terry; Pat Mancuso; Eddie Burleson; Chris Olsen; Jeff Salmon; SECOND ROW: Jackie Dato, manager; Bill Pearman; Sonny Kidd; Rodney Cole; Walt Rogers; Ken James; Eddie Koss; Bobby Boothe; THIRD ROW: Beth Johnson, manager; John Adkins; Corey Bryant; Kurt Hine; Todd White; Richard Hausier; Byron Holmes; Coach Pruett.
