At the beginning of the season, the only thing that was needed to have a winning baseball team was a pitching staff. Coach Eldridge soon found a combination with sophomore Mitch Horton and junior Mike Lee. The defense was in good shape with five returning players who had playing ex- perience. Jeff Sans controlled the position of catcher while Derrick Harnage, shortshop, had played errorless defense for the J. V. Team last year. For the first half of the season, the Ea- gles were 8-0. The last half of the season was played with determination but bad luck. The first sub-region loss was to Warner Robins. The next was lost to Southwest. This put Northside and Warner Robins in a tie for first. The next game was a heart- breaker loss to Northeast, but luck gave Northside some advantage when Warner Robins lost to Central to again be in a tie for first. The region game meant life or death to both of the teams. The winner would come out as the sub-region champs and continue in the region play-offs. The game had been close until the first baseman for Warner Robins hit a grandslam to give Warner Rob- ins a 10-6 win. Senior, Dexter Copeland, puts three years of experience be hind the bat for the Eagles. A new addition to the baseball team, John Stillwell learns quickly to keep an eye on per- spective ‘base-stealers’.
