The Cats Rock The Field We wrapped up (he season in the Famu game with our best hilling ever. — Coach John Hodgens “Batting Aver- age” Randy S. — .421 Tom B. — .345 Mark B. — .400 Chris S. — .295 Adam B. — .390 Maury H. — .300 “R.B.I.’s” Mark B. — 30 Adam B. — 25 Pitching” Tom B. — 6-2 Randy S. — 1-2 Derek). — 1-3 This being the Cats best overall season in quite some time, brought many smiling faces from players, coaches, students, and many parents. Maclay, who was ranked fourth in the state, was said by many players, to be the hardest team to conquer. Two games were played against them, with only one loss. North Florida Christian was defeated by the Bobcats twice, which was a long awaited and appreciated oc- currence. During the Famu home game, the Bobcats won 10-5, despite having lost the day before to Chattahoochee with a score of 3-9. Baseball seemed to bring the team members closer to- gether. Adam Burns was heard saying that the team had a “love hate relation- ship.” One reason for the excellence in the playing participation was the com- petition between the players themselves. 55 Front Row.

Boys Baseball Continued Batting Aver- age” eremy M. — .321 lake V. — .290 Russell S. — .250 David C. .200 “R.B.I.’s” Rus- sell S. — 15 Jer- emy M. — 10 Early in the season, the J.V. Baseball team experi- enced long, hard practices, but as the year progressed, they were shortened. “Run to first, walk to sec- ond, and run from second to home,” was one of Coach Hurst’s methods of getting the players in shape for the games. More games were lost than won during the season, with complaints of “the field was too long,” from Shelby Sanford. Brian Gregory was absent from the team for more than half of the season, due to appendicitis. Despite this fact, the game against Lake Jackson’s Varsity team was won 3-2. Two games were played against Aucilla, and both were lost. Aucilla’s skill in pitching slowly, was a weak spot for the hitters. Also played twice, was Trinity Catholic School. Both of these games were won, and Russell Suber’s ability to hit the ball “hard” was discovered. The team’s record was not the best, but one could not say that the team did not try. They were full of enthusi- asm, and great expectations of the year ahead. ‘2J Front Row: Marshall Griffis, Brian Gregory, Calvin Bedenbaugh, Angus Hinson, Shelby Sanford, Brian VVi son.
