Porter. Under the leadership of Coach Fred Boger, co-cap- tains Charlie Thomas and Tom Landis led the 1964 slug- gers to a great season and an 8-8 record. Tom Landis, named Player-of-the-Year, and Brad Barnette held places on the All-County team. After a tough first half, the South squad returned to place in a three-way tie for second in the latter half of the season. The team had good depth and reserve, plus a well- balanced pitching staff and good overall speed. The players’ high morale, which led to decisive wins over Myers Park, East, and Caringer, produced the best team in the school’s history.

South’s Harriers, led by Co-Captains Johnny Mayo and Jerold Burkes and sur prise junior star Terry Dona- von, made their way through the duals of the Western 4-A Conference ending with an overall record of 1-5. The Harriers, coached by Mr. Harold Lail, lacked depth and experience but hope for a more successful season next year. Donavon and Clement Wilson, the returning co- captains, will be the sparks igniting the flame for the Harrier’s aspiration to a conference title. Along with these participants, Mr. Lail is counting heavily on trans- fer George Blake, who finished 5th in the state tourna- ment, and on the rising sophomores who will add depth to next year’s squad.
