A game at a time After starting the season ranked eighth in the nation the Sluggers had their work cut -out for them. Practice started February 2l with the team out on the field Monday through Saturday and sometimes Sunday for three to three-and-a-half hours. From the original forty who turned out, about thirty actually got to wear a uniform: sixteen sophomores, eight iuniors and six seniors, five of which were returning lettermen. With a season of twenty-seven games: fifteen league and twelve prac- tice, Coach Bob Albo said, We only concentrate on playing one game at a time. Thus, the baseball season of '77 ended with league championships on May 20 and 21, regional finals on May 27 and 28 at Sicks Stadium and State on June 3 and 4, also at Sicks Stadium. l.

Girls' badminton is strong all around ln hopes of keeping with the old tradition, the Girls' Badminton Team had a fine season. Although not as many girls returned to competition this year as was hoped the team was fairly balanced with an array of all three classes. Varsity singles were established early in the season. The top three consisted of Junior Terrie Rogers and Senior Tim Gustafson, who both earned letters last year, and Sophomore Faye liken. The three top doubles teams battled it out for the two varsity positions during the season. They were: Seniors Chris Erickson and. Rene Revel, Juniors Bobbi Jo Duvall and Carol Howe, and Senior Christine Baker and Ju- nior Sue Waiss. lt's tough to maintain wins when all the teams in the five-league com- petition are pointing to you and looking at last year's no-loss record, said Coach Ray Lincoln, but we have a hard working team that's strong all the way around. l.
