Mike Robichaux safe on 2nd as he makes his journey around the bases. Vandebilt's diamond-men closed their successful sea- son by bowing to Rapides 3-0 in the State semi-finals. Overall the Terriers sport a 19-3 season record with an 18-2 record, with a 9-1 mark in district play. In their regular season, the Mighty 9 played two perfect contests in succession against John Curtis and Buras. Three district no-hitters in a row, 35 consecutive scoreless innings and five straight shut-outs against loop foes, which could rewrite the record books. The Terriers took the District title for baseball, add- ing to Vandebilt's four other district titles. This was truly the Year of the Terrierv. l78 r NINE I Mitch Thompson nears home-safe on 3-rd base.

Vandebilt's super cindermen equaled the honors earned by the other Terrier teams, in achieving the district 6-A crown, but faltered in the class A Regional track meet.. After taking its district trophy very easily, the Terriers expected to place well in the Regionals. But with three of their top-flight performers missing from action, the Terriers track squad only managed to finish fifth in the bi-district meet at Crowley. Throughout the year, Vandy's cindermen had placed first in the two meets sponsored by Plaquemines, in the Vandebilt relays and in the district meet. Of course, the Terrier cindermen couldn't have gotten far without the help and devotion of their fine coach Melvin Spinella. I80 1 uv. f..,,.tp.:-.iran qvviyr- - m .1-4r,,, nw.
