NOT PICTURED: Coach Sue Parrish. As she swings at the ball, Lauri Lawson keeps f her eyes focused on the outfield. i Rain hinders; Infield strong Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. This, most likely, was the feeling of everyone on the fresh- man Softball team. When the season ended, they had played only 6 out of 10 scheduled games. I could have had a pool party in left field, stated Donna Rhinesmith. The rain not only took away playing time but practice time as well. Although the team ' s season record was 2-4, Coach Sue Parrish felt that they had a strong infield. Coach Parrish stated, Despite the inexperience, I feel that overall the girls did remarkably well as a team. We had quite a strong defense, but we had difficulty ' getting wood on the ball. ' Best offensive player was Lisa Old- ing. Most improved player was Dawn Ballard, and best defensive player was Karen Ayler. With a look of grim determination, Shawn Se- bert pitches the ball.

Frosh hurlers set records We had great team depth and a lot of potential. It ' s just a shame the rain kept us from playing more, stat- ed Coach Sid Hancock. Winning the Eastwood game in the last inning with two outs turned the season around and gave the team con- fidence. Numerous practices and nine games were cancelled due to rain; however, the freshman baseball team ended their season with a 7 and 1 slate. Leading hurlers were Tim O ' Reilly and Randy Burdsall, while outstand- ing hitters were O ' Reilly, John Pay- son, Tim Keller, Kent Schroeder, and Ken Rowland. O ' Reilly set a new school record with 1 6 strike outs in one game. Burd- sal also set a school record by not giv- ing up an earned run in 21 innings.

Leadership, support spark strong team Jumping with his utmost ability, Terry VanS- kyoclc catches a hard hit. Coaching, along with good leader- ship by the eighth graders and strong seventh grade support, helped the team post a 5 and 2 season. Led by Coach Mark Francis, the seventh and eighth grade baseball team ' s best game was against Southport. Seven out of the 14 scheduled games were cancelled due to rain. As a team, this was one of the savvyest groups I have ever had. They were always thinking and hustling, even on the bench. I don ' t think any other team out played us, but a couple just out hit us. As the saying goes, ' The game isn ' t over until the game is over, ' remarked Coach Francis. SEVENTH EIGHTH BASEBALL. FRONT ROW — N. Gerhardt, C. Fralces, J. Harold, M. McNeely, T. Heber.
