It was a great feeling to de- feat my former school,', Coach Wickline said. I was proud of my boys and anything after the Skyline series was frosting on the cake. The Raiders advanced tothe area playoffs against Lake Highlands, but they were knocked from the playoffs in three games. I feel we should have won against Lake High- lands but things fell apart on us, said Senior Steve Young. Momentum from the spring to the summer was evidenced in an 18-game winning streak which was stopped by North Mesquite in the first round of the Texas Teenage Baseball Association playoffs. Winning five must-win games, including two against North Mesquite, the Raiders traveled to Midland for the playoff finals. ln this double elimination tournament, a first game loss to Midland forced the Raiders into the losers bracket. But the Raiders won the game against Waco, but lost the next game to Justin, sending them home for the summer. Throughout the 1984 season, the Raiders dreamed of going me Q 5 E.
