With the opening of the baseball
season fast approaching, Carteret
county high school coaches are
faced with the problem of trying
to practice. The bad weather of
the past few weeks has made it al
most impossible for the coaches to
get their teams on the field for
practice.
More head City. Beaufort and
Newport were scheduled to begin
practice Monday. The heavy rain
and wet grounds, however, have
not allowed the players to do more
than work out in the gym. The
coaches do not know yet how their
teams will shape up or who will be
in their starting lineups.
Wayne Benton at Newport is
faced with a slightly greater prob
lem than the other coaches. New
port is scheduled to begin its sea
son today against Dixon, and Coach
Benton has not yet been able to
use the field.
He said Wednesday, "I don't
know what I have. I can't see how
wc can play on that field out there.
It's a sea of mud."
T. H. McQuaid at Beaufort is in
slightly better shape. His season
does not open until Tuesday and
he can at least hope for good
weather between now and opening
day. The Sea Dogs will play their
first game of the season against
Smyrna.
Gannon Talbert is even more
fortunate than his brother coaches.
The Eagles will not play their first
game until they meet Camp Le
jeune one week from today.
