The team powerfully carried their momentum into 17 straight win- nings, and turned out a remarkable final record of 21 wins and only 4 losses. With the carefully engineered directions of Coach Sey, the team of talent won such honors as the 8-AAA West Sub-region Championship and the Gwinnett County Dugout Tournament Championship to N.H.S. A baseball team is teamwork, and a lot of hard practice. Each player contributes many valuable hours in practicing together, with perfection as their goal. As Coach Sey noted, one of the outstanding qualities of this team is that the players support each other tremendously. They are all friends in and out of the school, and at the games, they are a well- knitted network of spirited team. Most of the statistics and honors go to the seniors of 1982, but the other constituents who gained much experience on the varsity team are sure to do well on the 1983 team. Joe Gilbert was the all-around leader in batting average - .448, homeruns - 5, and runs batted in - 27.
