Tough Week For Hoke
Bucks Stopped By Patriots, Falcons
By Mike Steadman
The Hoke High School baseball
team dropped two decisions last
week, one to conference foe Pine
crest, and the other to non
conference Seventy-First of Fay
etteville.
"It was a good game that was
Ded before the Pinecrest student
y." said Hoke High Coach
Terry Grier about the 4-2 loss to the
Patriots.
Noah Hendrix was the leading
hitter for the Bucks as he was 1-2
with a homerun in the sixth inning.
Pitcher Eddie Ramsey suffered
the loss and now has a 2-1 record.
Both Pinecrest and Hoke had
two double plays in the game.
"Pinecrest made their two hits
count and we didn't," said Grier.
While explaining the Buck's 9-6
loss to Seventy-First, Grier said, "If
anybody should take the blame for
the loss, 1 will for playing my young
players early."
Grier said he met with the other
coaches and decided to play some
of his younger players in the
Seventy-First game to give them
some experience.
"We knew it was a gamble, but
we felt it would be good for team
morale to let the younger players
have a chance to play," he said of
the loss.
"They scored six runs in the first
two innings while we were playing
our younger players and switching
people around." he added.
"We made a lot of mental errors
rather than physical errors." he
said.
"We had a lot of extra base hits
and we stole seven bases against a
pretty good catcher." he continued.
Grier said this week would be the
most important week of the season
as far as conference play was
concerned.
"This is a do or die week in
conference play." he said.
He explained that Pinecrest and
Richmond each had one very good
pitcher and the two teams will meet
this week.
He said after this week, the
conference standings should really
be tight.
The Bucks' game with Bowman
of Wadesboro for Tuesday was
called off because of rain, but will
take on Scotland in Laurinburg
tomorrow (Friday) night.
