to better season Vast improvement is the answern, says head baseball coach Ed Ward of his 1966 team that showed great potential, but was not fully devel- oped. Ward also stated that with only losing three seniors by graduation, the players left will have time to mold and bring out all potential this spring. Ronnie Reese, Bill Dunn, and Buddy Williams were the three 1966 graduates. Reese was voted by teammates as the most valuable player and was also a three year letterman. Dunn received Most Improved Player and first year varsity awards, while Williams received his jacket award. For the first time, Wood played a reserve and freshman schedule as well as varsity. Eight returning letterrnen are Steve Kritsch, Ricky Hagan, Norm Shaw, Lige Mixon, Jim Scott, Rodney Clark, Larry Ragan, and Steve Reese. Mixon and Hagan were trophy award winners for best mental attitude and best batting average, respectively. Most improved player, Bill Dunn, practices his swing. l'miea'ml.Q14vurar5NMll3ln: zQl4'9 slva2milB'2'1a .n'.4 4-'Q Jem Steve Kritsch catches at the Wood-Howe game.
