1989 EAGLES’ BASEBALL This year the Eagles’ baseball team had a new coach. The team started practicing in late February to prepare for the upcoming season. Both the coach and the team were hoping to better the previous season's record and play in the state play-offs. The season started off with a bang when the Eagles won the prestigious Lem Clark tournament in Macon, but the hopes for region championship were not to be. New to Northside, Coach Ricky Dennis had a good first year. The team had a winning season and had a 11-6-1 record overall and 9-3 region record. As the second place team in the sub- region, the Eagles went on to play Evans in the first round of the region play-offs. Northside played Evans their toughest game of the season but lost 3-2. Mitch Horton pitched an excellent game against Evans holding them to only two hits. Chris Ingram and Dwayne Zanders hit homeruns for the Eagles. The Eagles lost three disappointing games during the region play but came back to win five in a row to place second. Although disappointed in not going further in post season play, Coach Ricky Dennis was quite pleased with the overall effort his team game. The team leaders were Chris Ingram, Derek Harnage, Don Hudson, Mitch Horton, and Mike Lee. », ‘e— ane ee . ne Derek Harnage puts all his energy into his swing at the baseball in order to hit a homerun.
