9th grade girls
compile 4rl mark
The Hoke High Ninth Grade
Girls' Softball Team now stands
with a record of 4-1, but Coach
Spencer Sampson says the girls still
need work.
"Our defense is improving but
we need more consistency," Samp
son said.
"We play well for a few innings
then we play bad. Our pitching has
to keep improving and hitting is
spotty, but we are getting better,"
the coach said.
Last Wednesday, the girls
defended their record against a
team from East Lee.
The ninth grade girls won that
game 14-8.
The day before, on April 2, the
girls sent a well defeated E.E.
Smith team home to tell of a score
' of 32-10.
"It was a fine hitting perfor
mance by the team," Sampson
said.
"Better defense will be one of
our main areas of improvement,"
said the coach.

counterparts last week and they
lost one last Tuesday to Pinecrest
19-2 and another last Friday to
West Robeson 15-14.
Of last Tuesday's game. Coach
Cheryl Farmer said: "Pinecrest
has a well-rounded team with a lot
of experienced athletes. We won't
begin to win more games until I
And the 10 girls who want to ex
ecute softball fundamentals and
plays and reduce the number of er
rors. In this game alone we had 1 1
errors. You can't expect to win
games like this. Also, the girls
must start hitting the ball and get
ting baserunners into scoring posi
tion."
The varsity girls now hold a
record of 2-8 overall and 2-3 in the
conference.
The Hoke High Bucks lost their
game with Pinecrest last Tuesday
1-0.
Pitcher Brian Norris gave up on
ly two hits in that game according
to Coach Roger Edwards.
The Hoke County Girls Track

Rheames also placed second in
the long jump and third in the 400

Rose Stevens placed second in
the 300 meter low hurdles and
Mable Oxendine placed fifth in the

According to Coach Audrey
Long, the team is very young.
There are 20 freshmen, 10
sophomores, seven juniors and
two seniors on the team, Long
said.
"This year is building. We have
a lot of good talent. They work
hard and with more time should
develop into a good team," Long
said.
