Kevin Van Trump, Golfer of the Year, shot an 82 to capture the title All-District. He said, ttEven though my personal goal was to qualify for State, I felt very honored to be named All-District? Another award given was to Billy Wor- nell for the most improved golfer of the year.

Varsity earns way to final f our Whether its the anticipation of the end of school or just a serious case of spring fe- ver, spring sports at R-P have always been both popular and successful. Varsity base- ball has been the most successful team R-P has produced to date. As state champs in T85 and state contend- ers in T86, the baseball program has grown considerably since its beginnings in 1977. With Brad Blackwell, David Crabtree, Shawn Crabtree, Paul Fleming, Tom Kruse, Jack Pickren and Wayne Thoma- son returning from a successful champion- ship season, they provided the abilities and leadership that their less-experienced teammates could look up to. Despite a shaky start, the team jelled under Coach Joe Hunter, after former Coach Russ Foster resigned in mid-sea- son. After Hunter took over, the team took off winning game after game and qualifying for the State Playoffs after winning the District Tournament in Clinton. , The first game on the road to Columbia was at Maryville, where the Panthers came home with a 100 victory. It was a hot, humid Saturday afternoon game at Peculiar Park against the undefeated El Dorado Springs Bulldogs. The Panthers ended the Bulldogs, season at 18-1. On to the final four. A later date for the State Tournament pushed the finals into the first weekend of J une. Thursday was a hot day with temperatures in the high 805. On Friday morning, the Panthers were de- feated 2-0 under a cloudy sky that threat- ened rain. The consolation game was set for Saturday, but rain forced cancellation of the game against Helias of Jefferson City. The Panthers failed to repeat as state champs, but they finished in the final four and played in the State Tournament. That in itself can label the season as successful.
