Softball continued ... We tried, and lhat’s all that counts.” — Rob- bie (.'lark Coach Wilder had his hands full coaching golf and Junior Varsity softball. He commented, “1 enjoyed coaching girls very much. They didn’t have much ex- perience, so they genuinely listen and try very hard.” Since they were begin- ners, practices included the basic fundamentals of the game. Being a young team their main strengths seemed to be youth and desire. Every ex- perience was a first. This in- cluded their only win against Carrabelle. Coach Wilder said they “always tried”. Even if they couldn’t put it together to win, they had fun. They would only lose two players to the Varsity, which meant a real chance to score as seasoned players in ’89. £• unior Varsity So tball Team:Front row.Terri Armstead, Nikki Sims, Melanie Morris, Bonnye Davis, and Elder Maxwell.Back row: Natasha Frost.

Young Team Hurdles Short Season Although we had a team full of inexperienced young peo- ple, we worked hard and are looking forward to next year . — Coach Woody Hildebrant Stats Placed in Dis- cus Throw Jody Beane Stephen Gouss Placed 3rd at District meet for the 440 relay: John Barrow Jody Beane Mark Brown Cory Hill Although inexperienced young members, the track team had a good spring ,and placed in almost every track meet. With no girls’ team, it was left up to the boys to throw the discus and shotput, run the mile and the two mile, and jump the broad jump and long jump. Most track meets were held at either Greenboro or Bristol. With only six meets available it was easy for most to attend all of them, but for a few there was baseball to juggle. Having fun was part of what a sport should be about, and the track team definitely had fun. Trying out something in a meet that a member didn’t usually do was a custom. Horsing around, using fake names, and attempting to confuse Coach Hildebrant was a must. By the end of April the season was completed. Those who competed did well. Despite not having a large number of partici- pants, the skills each mas- tered were valuable and could be expanded on in the next season and in other sports. A quick start by Jamie Worrell in the Stephen Gauss’s throw of 117 feet, places him fifth in the one mile at Bristol leads to a loss to discus at the Greenboro meet. Greensboro. At the last meet with Greensboro, Patrick Boykin gives his all for a 38 foot throw in the boys' shot put. 118 Sports
