The Lions came into the game struggling with an ll-ll record. It appeared easy to call. It wasn't. The final score was 1- 0, Moore. The triumph over Norman proved to be the tuming point in the season. From that time on, the baseball team went on a rampage, losing only two games the rest of the season and finishing as state runners-up. A gifted but inexperienced team began the season. We had a lot of talent on the ball club, said Head Coach Dennis Morgan, but it took some time to get ourselves together and find out that we could play and winf' The Lions began incon- sistently at the start of the year.

After a brief setback against Edmond, the baseball players beat power- houses Midwest City and Enid to gain momentum going into regionals.

The pace changed, however, and the game ended with the same score. Although the team didn't win the state title, they found con- solation in the fact that they went further than anyone ex- pected. -at-Us . ,.,.., Q igging Down.
