With Wendy Anthony having the highest batting average, Delphine Jefferson being voted the Most Valuable Player for her outstanding pitching and Krista Skuce obtaining an award for the most hustle, the season closed with a record of 11 wins and l22fSpring -- Softball '81 7 losses. Since it was a new sport added to the Girl's Athletic Program this year, there was a lot of hard work and preparation needed to get Softball off to a good start. There were different rules and regulations that had to be followed. It is now possible to steal bases and also, new offensive strategies had to be planned since the girls were allowed four people in the outfield instead of three. Many long hours of practice gave the team their first winning season. All the players will be returning and we are looking forward to a great 1982 year.

Girl 's Tennis Team A ces Season The Girls' Tennis Team end- ed its regular season with an impressive 9-l record. A newcomer to the team, seventh grader Stacey Phillips has been a valuable asset by winning all of her regular sea- son matches. Conference regu- lations allow Middle School stu- dents to participate in high school tennis matches and with Miss Dean's encouragement, Stacey tried out for the team. The girls' hard work and dedi- cation proved to be the key to their success this year. The team played in the Con- ference lV-AAA tournament and finished third. Patsy Se- crist and Cheryl Polk qualified for the State doubles tourna- ment at Clemson while Jenni- fer Clark and Stacey Phillips qualified for singles. Losing four players out of the six, Coach Melissa Dean is still opti- mistic for the upcoming year. K. N Cheryl Polk anticipates the next move of her Midland Valley oppo- nent. Jennifer Clarke gives it all she's got as she hammers the ball across the net in the game against Aiken High. l24fGirls' Tennis x. x
