He 1 feel we have a good chance at making the playoffs again this year Sandy Cvann, Head Coach of the Varsity Baseball team re- plied when questioned about his team's pot- ential in 1988. Last year's magnificent march to the state semi-finals proved a tough act to follow, but such an accomplishment was by no means impossible, After losing ten out of fourteen players to graduation, the returning members had the experience needed to lead the team to vic- tory. This experience was the key to success, especially when Hiced with a very challenging Elll U18 IJBSBS in conference and non-conference schedule. The regular season officially opened on Tuesday, March 15, against High Point Central at home. It continued in full swing through the last game on May 17 against Madison-lvlayodan. The players consistently gave 100'Ka and learned the value of teamwork. The junior Varsity team also devoted much time and effort into the 1988 baseball season. As with their Varsity mentors, they immediately began practice after basketball season ended. ,! .. , N i 'i . .... y'r- . ---I -.--, f.
