Rainy Spring Hampers Sports Ole man weather reared his ugly head to play havoc with much of spring sports. Frequent rains turned the baseball field into a virtual lake and made track practice difficult and messy, if not impossible. Third-place team finish in the conference meet re- sulted from a third place finish by the 440 relay team, second place by Thom Wood in the shot put, and third place by Thom in the discus throw. The team also participated in meets atAda and district-qualifying meets. The baseball team play- ed an abbreviated schedule, due to many rain-outs and mud-outs (when the fields had suffered all they could). Nonetheless, the season produced a co-conference championship and a district championship. The Racers lost in the Bi-District to Jones. Fine pitching and bat- ting by Ronnie Williams led to All-Conference and Little All-City honors. Ronnie led the team in pitching victo- ries (5), batting (.406), and home runs (6). Randy Corbin, batting .400, was another All-Conference se- lection as catcher. 0 ther All - Conference honorees were Steve Wilson and Robert Mason.
