COME OUT AND PARTICI- PATEIl Nomind contributors to this is sue: Larry Street Sara Lee Lani Baldwin Charlie Pratt Mike McQuown Hunter Watson Janet Moses Mark Kleber John LaGuardia KEN “All” Mehrling takes a ripple.. Knight Rally Downs FSU, 3-2 straight from ringside here’s the final — SA 3 rounds Fayet teville State 2. Catcher Ken Mehrling mira culously held the ball after a hard collision at home plate for the final out. Suddenly the Bronco player out at home started ttirowing punches at Ken, Mehrling retaliated, and both benches emptied. A third- base Bronco coach was bashed in the face by his OWN man with a catcher’s mask that was aimed at Mehrling. Scrappy cat cher Wayne Polston came to Ken’s assistance only to be promptly laid flat on his back by a sharp right to his eye. Wayne Wise increased his team leading RBI total to seven with a sacrifice fly in the eighth that drove in the winning run. Steve Lltchford’s clutch-re lief pitching in the 9th inning saved the game for senior southpaw Mark Kleber. Up to that point, Kleber turned in a fine performance. Senior Gardy Wilson, avid baseball follower, said, ‘ ‘This is one of the best games I’ve seen the ‘Big Man’ pitch”. He also said "that ‘re- ferree’ behind the plate was terrible.” Gardy’s really in the ball game! This win runs S.A.’s record to 5-2 overall, 5-0 In District 29 (second only to Pembroke), and 2-0 in the DIAC. Saturday afternoon starting at 1:00, S.A, hosts archrlval Lynchburg in a key conference and district doubleheader.

The Knights are looking for three “road” victories before meet ing Lynchburg on April 9th. Florida Freaks Win Softball The "Florida Freaks,” a team consisting of 9 “Florida People”, overwhelmed their opponents In three straight games Saturday to easily win the Bacchanalia softball crown. The boys from Florida shined on defense and held their opponents to only three runs In 23 Innings. After easily beat ing the “Rednecks” In the open ing game 7-1, they trounced Suite 1 Meek 9-2 and then in the championship game held the “Ice Nine’ , their toughest op ponent, scoreless for nine Innings and won 7-0 after an explosive 7th Inning rally. All of the members of the team played fantastic defense which was the key to their suc cess. Team members included Riley Erwin, Jim Haddix, Tony Fernandez, Bob Stawski, Paul Finger, Bruce Taylor, Mike Fletcher, Steve McAlister and Marty McIntyre. When asked what they thought about the final game one of the Florida Freaks merely answered, “Where the hell’s the beer?” DRUG ALERT If you are having trouble because of drugs and need someone to talk to call 276-1515. Sophomore ace Davis Miller booms a serve. PHOTO BY STREET Track Team Seeks Improvement The SA track team has had trouble the last two meets and their record has fallen to a 1-4. This year the trouble Isn’t a lack of depth, but rather getting accustomed to track a- galn after last year’s layoff of no real track team as such. Last year’s team was a poor excuse for a team and this year’s team while fairly size able, Is suffering from a lack of experience. Injuries have also taken their toll this year. Jack Richmond has been out of all competl- tion so far, until yesterday with a pulled leg muscle. Tony James had been hampered by old knee injuries making It dlf- Icult for him to jump at all In the field events. And Ron Hayden Is constantly suffering from chronic asthma when he runs. As a result of key people being hurt, a lack of experience and failure by some members to practice and work hard, the team has faltered in Its per formance. II Here’s a spicy idea.
