MHS this year enters league baseball after a five year absence but Coach Roy Thacker indicates that prospects for the team are nevertheless encouraging because of the number of players that have participated in the summer baseball program.

At first base the Buckaroos will have either Eddie Allred, Clayton Johnson or Mike Young and prospects for second base Include Jeff Frost, Alan Maugh-a- n and Ted Demill. Third are Howard base hopefuls Nielson, Freddy Pehrson, Bruce Adams and John White and at shortstop Mike Bronson, Greg Adams or Mike Young. Outfield starters will Include Chester Kay, Mike Young, Gary Halls, Jeff Broderick, Lee Torres, Fritz Pipkin, Lowell . Young, Steve Scott, Sandy Johnson or Johnny Madrid.
