Lumberton Friday, Head Coach Roger Edwards ad Bucks lose squeaker, retain winless record The Hoke High Bucks' Varsity baseball team fell to Lumberton Friday afternoon, losing 10-9 and plunging their season record to 0-7 and their conference record to 0-1. "We probably played one of our best offensive games Friday," Head Baseball Coach Roger Ed wards said. "But at the same time, we pro bably played our worst defensive game," he added. Edwards strongly believes that his team can pull their record up if they "get it together" in the next few weeks. "We need to work on consisten cy," Edwards said. "We are working with a young team. They need time to pull it all together," he added. "Sometimes we play good defense and bad offense. Other times it is reversed," Edwards said. In the Lumberton game, Ed wards blames the Bucks' one-point loss on a less than perfect defense. "We have lost several games this season by one point. In the Lumberton game we were scoring the runs...we just could not keep the other team from scoring," Ed wards said. "Our boys are young. I think they will improve during the season," he added.
