The All-Conference picks included, first team: Brian Grobe, pitcher; Dwayne Davis and Willard Palmer, players; and second team, Jamie Lux, player. There were also some honors that were voted on by the team, and announced at the Spring Athletic Banquet.

Winning Season The record of the Varsity Softball team was 5- 3. The season started out excellent with 5 wins losses until the game against Smith Cotton from then on it went down hill. The starters for the Varsity squad were as fol- lows: seniors Kristi Burkhart, and Carisa Proctor, juniors Sandy Parker, and Shannon Palmer, sophomores, Shelly Hutton, and Vanessa Johnson, freshmen Stephanie Morland, Leanne Thixton, and Jennifer Henderson. The honors this year were awarded to Kristi Burkhart and Sandy Parker. Kristi Burkhart received first team all conference, and also MVP of the Softball team. Sandy Parker was chosen for first team all conference. Carisa Proctor senior said, This year ' s Softball season was basically very disappointing for me. Although the young girls did very well and gained a lot of experience, the older players didn ' t come through when we needed to. Coree Cutler, junior said, This season was pretty disappointing. I felt we really weren ' t prepared this year. We had a good team, but just couldn ' t get our stuff together. Kristi Burkhart senior said, Softball did have a disappointing end this season. Everybody just lost their confidence and gave up. I guess I was just hoping my last season would be better! There was a lot of experience gained by the younger play ers. And because of seven return- ing starters the years to come show lots of promise.
