And it was the loud bat of sophomore Bob Ferneau who cracked out two of Laytons five hits and more importantly a heralded solo homer that provided Layton a victory in each teams 1983 region opener. Both of these guys love their baseball. Though Ferneau was one of those gutty, little runningbacks that helped lead the sophomore football team to an unblemished record last fall, neither he or Talbot participated in any school sport through the winter. Greg Folk (right) I FERNEAU is a little surprised at the recent success that has come his way, but Talbot might be a little less startled by his success because hes planned for it. Said Talbot about this spring, I really with it last year, even though I pitched wasnt .! in three or four varsity games. i: .n AT THE BEGINNING of the school year I I asked why I wasnt getting after it. I ?rmade myself mind Id get serious and began up my working out from almost the first day of school. Its amazing at how much more confidence I have now over last year as a shadow behind Brad Merrill. Hawkins appeared high on his senior pitcher in reporting, Brett stepped back on the mound and thought what he had to do to get out of trouble against Clearfield. He came back and threw strikes and got people out when he had to. I THINK Brett is working harder this year than hes ever worked in his life. He is a pretty good thrower but its just a matter of him wanting to be good. And how about sophomore Ferneau? He tried to describe it. Its just weird. Ive worked hard in practice, stayed after school with Coach Hawkins little brother teaching me some things and all of a sudden its beginning to pay off. 5 he a y I GUESS its just hard work and listening to coach. Coach told me that (Greg) Folk would be pitching me a fast ball sooner or later. He said to wait for it and when it comes to jump t own. 7 Iv on it. Thats precisely what happened and Ferneau tagged Folk for a single, a long hit fly ball into right and the homer. Hawkins was high on Ferneau too. Robert has been doing a dam good job, hes been making contact all along. Thats one of the main reasons why I started him against Clearfield and the fact he doesnt question anything I tell him, said Hawkins. FERNEAU said about the same, He ibly getting into the state tournament, but both mentioned that the hitting must pick up. I know we can hit, but up at the plate in a game we go blank sometimes, said Talbot. FERNEAU REPORTS much of his success his older brother Willie, who is presently enrolled in the Air Force at the academy in Colorado Springs. Willie was once a athlete with the Lancers.

I told him somebody was going to win it KAYSVILLE couple of weeks and I did. He said that if I didnt like the sport, I could drop it.

Said Fishbum about it, I dont see how a kid who is the only good pole vaulter at a school can make it. Its great to have the three of us knowing what we are doing and constantly getting better. Flint concluded all remarks about the three vaulters by saying, They pull for each other and arent about to let the team down.

Its a funny sport to get accustomed to, but after the number of trips Ive made down that lane, youre just bound to get better and better.

Talbot will guard first base when not pitching while Ferneau roams centerfield on defense. Both players were as high on their coach as he was on them. Talbot stated, I thought he gave us every idea in the book last year, but Hawkins keeps coming up with things to help us. Hawkins has a lot to do with our confidence being up.

The string boxes might have been a reason I4 why Talbot fanned seven Clearfield batters last week and the tips on Ferneaus stance surely aided that home run. .2 Ki I! 'STCZl'l! ajrn n r;:i j .1 |
