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.
