FLAW THE DIAMUND Whoever remarked that experi- ence is the best teacher could not have possibly had Sander- son's baseball team in mind. The 1975 team suffered a rather disappointing season despite the fact that there were eleven returning members from the win ning 1974 team. Obviously in- experience was not the culprit behind their record-but then what Was? lt would be inane to try to use the age-worn ex- cuses of weather, coaching, or an inadequately equipped team to explain their season. The coaching does not make or break a team since the players' ability is of primary impor- tance. If an individual has the ability to play good ball, he can do so only if he po- sesses the desire. And Sander- son is possibly the best equip- ped school in the city. As far as the weather goes, it rained just as much on Broughton and Enloe as it did on us and both those teams managed to finish 9 losses? Perhaps the term im- maturity could be used to de- scribe the team. This term does not apply to the players indi- vidually, but only in the sense of how they performed together. Although each member was gifted in some aspect of the game, they seemed to have trouble combin- ing these talents into effect- This yeafs team lacked much of the togetherness which is vital to the suc- cess of a team. Bryan Copeland ive team play. However, to say that they never played well as a team would be false-their 8 wins alone would disprove that statement-but rather that they did not keep up this with above-average records. Then unity with the consistency that what factor made our team end up with a record of 8 wins and 66 is completely necessary to produce a winning season.
