Sports Editor
The members of the Georgia
Federal Pee Wee team, parents,
coaches, sponsor, and friends look
the day off from the game of base
ball, to enjoy a party at the Perry
Country Club that was held in
honor of the team and one team
player in particular.
'T hat player was none other than
the Georgia Federal star home run
hitter of the team Ty Jackson.
The little guy that now holds the
record for the most home runs hit
in one season by a member of a Pee
Wee team at Ochlahatchec Park, and
the only player to collect a "Grand
Slam" over the fence home run for
his team.
Jackson was presented a special
trophy for his efforts as a member
of the team and Coach John Moralh
said, "Ty Jackson is one of the best
if not the best hitler in the Pec Wee
league, and if he continues his con
sistency in hitting he will be an
asset to any team he plays on."
Ty's team mates as well as Ty’s
mom and dad, were extremely proud
of his accomplishments and the
help he has been to the team over
all.
The beginning of the evening's
entertainment was a swimming
party for the team, where everyone
seemed to be having a great lime
away from the baseball diamonds
for a change.
After taking the lime out from
swimming to have a picture taken
of the team, the boys went back
into the water like that was just
where they belonged on such a hot
day, while moms and dads stood and
watched wishing they had brought
along swimming suits.
The team was then given a bar
becue supper which had been made
by the parents of the boys, and ev
eryone enjoyed a great meal and had
a good time.
Coach John Moralh was very
pleased wilh ihe boys this year and
said, "We may not have taken first
place, but each of these boys have
done the best job they could have
done for any coach."

tions, and Premier Flicks 30-5 in
the Junior League Softball annual
All-Star game Thursday night.

scored for CMF as they took an
easy victory.
The game, planned to be an even
contest, failed to materialize that
way as Powell, Globe, Premier, had
an off night while Cotton, Main,
Family, played at almost an
entirely different level on their way
to the victory.
After the game all of the All-
Stars were given trophies. Trophies

Hornets continue to
ready for Westwood
By J.J. COOPER
Staff Writer
The Westfield Hornet Varsity
Football Squad continues to work
on its weight program as they gel
ready for the upcoming season.
Coach Gordon Powers is happy
with how they weight program is
going up to now saying "I've been
pleased so far. We have about 30
who arc consistently lifting."
The Hornets also have two, Brad
Dchem and Chandler Budd, who are
spending the summer out of town
and doing their lifting there.
Westfield will begin its running
program next week as the Hornets
gel ready for football camp at
ABAC in August.
For the first lime the Hornets arc
going to try to take the eighth
graders along with the team to help
them prepare for their upcoming
Stinger season.
Powers also secs this as an op
portunity to help prospective future
varsity players get started early.
"At Westfield they have an op
portunity to play in tjic ninth grade
so we want to prepare them in the
eighth," said Powers.
The Hornets have had several at
different camps. Phil Kennedy has
just returned from kicking camp
where according to Powers he was
kicking well.
Jamey Watson and Shaync Ar
rington have recently attended a
quarterback-receiver camp where
they worked together and indepen
dently in sharpening their skills.
"They seemed to have learned a
lot," said Powers.
Right now both John Lamberth
and Shayne Arrington are working
at playing comcrback.
Lamberth and Arrington arc both
also going for the starting quarter
back slot.
"I hope to go in to the West
wood game with the QB situation
solved,” said Powers.
Powers added that he is not a big
believer in dual QB's, but he would
not rule out the second string quar
terback coming in as a "relief
pitcher."
Powers plans on working both
Lamberth and Arrington at
comcrback, "Thai's always a big
debate because nobody wants to
lose their starting quarterback," said
Powers.
But Powers also added that it
was an easier decison to make when
you have two quality quarterbacks.
Powers also mentioned that Ar
rington started at comcrback his
sophomore year, when Joey Brett
was quarterback.
Westfield will begin fall practice
August 7 in preparation for their
opening game against Westwood.
