talent and improvement of young players said Steve Weiser second year head coach for the Eagles With the exception of five returning pitchers the team consists of 90 percent freshmen Their performance levels will be developed throughout the fall season Weiser said “We might get beat up in schedule but our our early goals aim for conference play in the spring" Weiser continued "Fall ball is really our spring training and the long season really tells me a lot about the players" Every practice and game in the fall is geared toward improving for their regular season The baseball differences between fall and spring are simple Coach Weiser uses more players now to determine the best choices for future positions In the spring only the top nine will play with very few changes Two strong points for the Eagles include "excellent pitching and a strong defense" according to coach Weiser Dave Littlcwood leads the pitching staff with honors that include being second team last year and a conference player this year He is matched with returning pitchers Travis Lohncs Mike Smuin Lonnie Anderson and Todd Bendixon A few talented freshmen complete the strength of all-st- ar Eagle pitching Dan Emery also a second team player in ccntcrfield adds to the defensive side JD Keller and Chris Heaps also vie for outfield spots "Our defense is incredibly strong" Weiser said "With Robby Conrad and Dave Hrein-so- n I feel we have the two best fielding shortstops in the conference" Both of these players arc freshmen Strong second basemen include Mike Salazar and Gaylon Evans Behind the plate are Jeff Warton and Jared Dower both competing for the starling catcher position In addition to defense a strong hitting offense is led by Emery and Conrad Freshmen John Gunter and Steve Woolley arc lough at bat also The Eagles arc preparing continued on page 12 variety of hunting opportunities There are six units open to the taking of any buck two units on the Bookcliffs and Henry mountains and the limited entry unit of Elk ter Ridge In past years some units were better than others however all indications suggest hunting will be good on all units Success will be lower on units because of extensive illegal kills of young bucks in past years and heavy hunting pressure on older bucks Hunter success will depend on weather conditions prior to the hunt If the weather remains hot
