In 1981, the Tiger sackers didn't win the league title, however, the team's success was in the playoffs as Tokay won the Sub-Sections and went all the way to the sec- tion finals before bowing out. The Tigers were looking for some of the same magic in returning starters Fred Henne, Perry Manley, Nathan Bertsch, and Ernie Jackson. Also returning was assistant coach Gary Dreher. With a nucleus of returning starters, the program in 1982 was predicted to be a suc- cess. Leading the success was a host of Tiger hurlers with Charlie Swimley, John Johnson, and Jeff Larson sharing hurling duties. The Tigers managed to start slowly with a 2-2 record in its first non-league ap- pearances. ss , it lgigl x fq 3 sr S Q'
