With team spirit at an all time high, the Colts went into each game as if the pride of West Stanly was left up to their winning. This sense of pride in their school and high expectations for themselves helped to carry them to several wins in a tough Rocky River Conference. Even the members of the baseball team that did not get to start supported the team with lots of 132!1983 Baseball enthusiasm and encouragement for the starters. The leadership of the team's six graduating seniors will be missed, but new leadership is bountiful on this ball team. With the leadership of seniors such as Stan Barbee and Eddie Whitley, the West Stanly ball team pulled off wins against arch rivals, North Stanly, and South Stanly. Also the Colts team lost no more than one game against any team except Albemarle and Pied- mont. All in all this season can be considered a winning season. TEAM SUPPORT.

CONFERENCE ON THE MOUND. Junior Roxanne Efird 1185 reassures Freda Smith 1241 of her pitching as the game against the Mt. Pleasant Tigers gets closer. EX f W if lways A Winner The Lady Colts of 1983 had a break-even season. They finished with a record of 8-8. Coach Anabel Speight was pleased with her team that consisted of mostly Soph- omores and Juniors. Disappointed as they were about their 8 losses, almost every one was by a close margin. Playing doubleheaders on almost every Wednesday, the girls' only split games, one win and one loss, were with Forest Hills, Charlotte Catholic, Parkwood, and North Stanly. The 1983 season started out cold and wet. The Lady Colts' first game 134f Softball WAITING FOR THE VICTORY. Waiting PITCHING IN THE WIND.

I 5 .9 was with Albermarle. With the cold weather and the first game being two prime factors, the Lady Bulldogs went on to defeat the Lady Colts in both games. But the Lady Colts were not to be outdone. The next five consecutive games were winners as the Lady Colts defeated South Stanly and 5 Mt. Pleasant, and split with Forest Hills. Coach Speight stated that she was pleased with the team's performance. They all have the talent and potential to make next year's season one of the most . successful ever. ik S 3 2 THE EYES OF ASSURANCE.
