Baseball team wins 2nd place at State Dedication, determination, a lot of hard work and many long hours of what seemed to be never ending practice proved to be rewarding for the Grizzly baseball team. They were able to clench both the Hays Tournament Championship and the Regional Championship and go on to place second at State held in El Dorado, May 23. Finishing the season with 6 wins and 6 losses in the City League and an overall record of 13-7, the Grizzlies had one of their best seasons ever. ' 'The attitude of the players was very good. They had great team spirit and were an enjoyable group of young men to work with. Their courage and con- fidence kept us alive and competitive, stated Head Coach Roger McCune. By defeating East 5-0 and North 5-2 in Regional play-offs, the team won their se- cond Regional Championship and qualified for State, where they were victorious over Hays and Pittsburg, but were finally defeated by K.C. Ward. ' 'I am just sorry we let the big one get away. They worked so hard and they deserved it. It just was not our day. We did not play poorly, though, they just played a little bit better, com- mented McCune. I really enjoy the sport, and when you are able to accomplish the one thing you set out to do, it makes all of the time, hard work, and effort you put into it worth while, said Senior Scott Hale. Even though they were not able to come back as state champions, their pride of what they had accomplished was evident. At the end of the season the team elected Senior john Quinn, pitcher, as Most Valuable Player. Quinn was also selected as the All-City first team pitcher and was part of the All-Torunament Team at Hays. Others on the All-Tournament team were Senior Scott Hale, Sophomore Todd Dcvereaux, and Senior Brian Darnman. Damman was also elected Most Valuable Player at the Hays Tournament and was chosen on the All-City second team. Those receiving All-City Honorable Mentions were Hale, Sophomore Kevin Lanterman, and Senior Steve Clark.
