A CORRECTION
In last week’s issue of the
Progress-Argus, prep editor
Steve Figueroa of The
Atlanta Constitution, was
quoted on an article he had
written about the Jackson
High baseball team.
Figueroa mistakenly wrote
that the Jackson team “has
been led this season by the
only two seniors on the
squad—Scott Moore and Ray
Thomas.”
Omitted, of course, was the
name of Scott Waits, brilliant
right-hand hurler, whose
pitching has won many
crucial games for the Red
Devils during his career.
The Progress-Argus re
grets this omission and is
glad to make this correction.
