Girls Win Regiou Before the 1987 Softball season began, the Northside Eaglettes had high hopes for a clas- sic year. The first game of the season was an example of these hopes. The Eaglettes played cross town rivals, Warner Robins Demon- ettes. The game was tied until the 6th inning, when the Eaglettes scored three runs to de feat the 1986 4 AAAA State Softball Champs. The Eaglettes remained undefeated in the sub-region until they played Southwest. This game went into extra innings, but the Eag- lettes lost 6-4. During the middle of the sea- son, the team went into a slump and another sub-region was lost, this time to Baldwin County 5-4. At the end of the season, the Eaglettes had two sub-region loses, while Southwest had one. The girls played the Patriots and defeat- ed them 8 to tie for First place in the sub- region. Another game was played to decide who would be in the number one spot during re- gion play-offs and where the region game would be played. The Eaglettes lost to South- west, but that loss would be to their advan- tage in region play-offs. The Eaglettes had the “winning attitude’ during the region tournament. They went un- defeated against Hephzibah (one game) and Warner Robins (two games) to win Region and go to sub-state where they lost to Statesboro High School. 4 ‘ ss 1 : mm. 4 ot Coach Carreker with this year's | The team shows their pride as Seniors they pose for a picture with the region trophy % 2, ,

On the eve of November 4, 1987, the 4 AAAA Region Softball Champs gathered at Quincy's Steak House to celebrate their suc- cessful season. Parents, friends, and team members enjoyed a time of togetherness to recognize the achievements of team mem- bers. This was the second year Vicki Carreker had coached softball at Northside. She was very pleased to have a team that had won region and moved on to sub:state. After everyone finished their meal, awards were given out. The two captains, Carol An- toine and Robin Jones, who were chosen at the beginning of the year, received a plaque. The Best Batting Average was earned by Mary Mills. Most Improved plaques were giv- en to Laquita Thrower and Shanna Weaver. The award for the Best Defense was shared between outfielder, Beth Lanier, and infielder, Mary Mills. This year the team agreed there was not one person on the team who could be named Most Valuable Player. A different person came through to do the job when it was need- ed. This year an award was given to a person who gave 110%, hustled on and off the field, and tired to keep the team with the “winning attitude. ’ This honor, the Eaglette Award, was given to Stephanie Sorrow. To end the evening, the senior softball play- ers presented plaques to the managers, Ro chelle Greer and Kendall Williford. As well, they gave a plaque to Coach Carreker that held the game ball from the last region game.
