JEFFERSON COUNTY CHAMPIONS Ten years of sweat and toil brought Seneca's hurlers and hitters to a peak of perfection as the team under the leadership of Coach Hal Taylor brought home three championships for their season's work. What began as an ordinary season developed into a sizzling record of 8 wins-2 losses. By beating such top-ranked ball clubs as Fern Creek, Durrett, and Waggener, the Redskins batted their way through to East Jefferson County championship. Led by its ace pitching staff, Dave Line, Charlie Petry, Gary Buttermann, Hank Ellington, Jeff Witten, Bill Lesak, Mike Hay, and Lin Bell, the team entered the District race. ln the first round K.lVI.l. fell to Seneca. However, in the second game, Waggener put up a good fight and led 4-2 with two out in the last inning, but Seneca wasn't beaten yet! Six straight batters reached base and I90 tied the game 4--4. Then the fired-up team went on to win in extra innings. After such a close call the Red- skins went on to clobber Westport and become the District champs! After losing to a tough St. Xavier team in the Reg- ional semi-final, the team entered the grand finale, the Jefferson County Championship! Butler presented a tough challenge, and once again Seneca found itself losing. However, out of pure determination, our men produced four runs and attained their third trophy by winning the Jefferson County Championship! This win gave Cary Buttermann a record of 6-0, including a no- hitter and a one-hitter, and Gary was recognized by the Courier Journal as one of the state's finest pitchers. Only one other team looks more promising-NEXT YEARS! !
