West Leads Baseball Team in '68 Campaign Steve Lundquist bloops a 'Texas-League single in Provine's victory over Wingfield. The 1968 Ram baseball team launched its season in hopes of continuing the pace set by the 1967 squad. Charles West, in his first year as head baseball coach, had the diamondmen on the prac- tice field in early February to prepare them for the season's opener in mid-March. Several new baseball enthusiasts joined returning lettermen Wayne Monroe, Bobby Flynt, Gilbert lVlcCleave, Mike Dorman, Steve Lundquist, and Jenner Collins in forming the nucleus around which this year's team was built. Spurred on by memories of last season's city and District VI championship team, the diamond crew practiced earnestly in hopes of perfecting their play and bringing another outstanding sea- son record to Provine. Many Ram baseballers sought to improve their game by participating in Jackson's summer base- ball program. While juniors and seniors repre- sented Provine on the Colonial Bakeris American Legion team, sophomores played for various Dixie Senior squads throughout the city.
