Baseball Team Comes Across Every once in a while you'll run across one of those dark horse teams in a conference. ln baseball the Black Hor- nets got off to a slow 1-4 start. Realizing that the first con- ference game was only one week away, the team then picked up steam and overran Bethany 4-0 and 17-3. -March 30 came and Western squeezed by Southern for a conference win. From then on the team played heads-u baseball and sailed past the other conference teams ex- cept Gibsonville, who won 3-2. Revenge was sweet when Western beat Gibsonville three and a half weeks later 4-1 in an exciting night game. Winning the conference with an 8-1 record, Western looked forward to state com- petition. Their hopes for vic- tory were shattered, however, when Mt. Pleasant took a feeble win 1-0. All in all, it was an outstand- ing season with five Western players chosen All-Confer- ence. These were johnny Ralls, lohn Lojko, Greg French, jerry Midkiff, and Steve Dunlap. E , if Holmes David Ahrens and Mark Guenther discuss their victory. 92 BASEBALL Outfield: Keith Guenther, johnny Ralls, Steve Goins, Gary Bowers, Billy LaFevor i Infield: Greg French, Steve Dunlap, Alonzo Webster, David Bowman, Mark Guenther, Tommy Baker.

Lindley Grant Walters adds hip twich to power 300 yard drive. Quit rolling your right hand. Slow your backswing down and don't lunge at the ball. Don't drop that right shoulder. These were the sounds which were heard at golf prac- tices which primed the golf team for their 8-1 season, sec- ond lace finish in the sec- tionalpsi, and finishing among the top twenty in the state tournament. The golf team clearly domi- nated the conference olf scene as none of the matcgwes were really close. The only loss came against a strong 4A power, High Point Andrews. Many individuals on the seven man team turned in strong1 performances. Greg Frenc , who had the low stroke average, compiled rounds close to par match after match. He was comple- mented b the strong play of Grant Waifers, Chipper Cecil, jeff French, john Haley, and Arthur jordan. All of these team members had good rounds in more than one match and they all contributed to the team's outstanding year. The team en'oyed a reward- ing year and the prospects for next ear seems just as good as only two people will be lost to graduation. The team should, as Coach Hollifield says, beat the bi bo s next year just as they Eid this year.
