"Troy (Davis) will be one of those guys we are going to have to de pend on to get the job done for us. It's tough for a sophomore to have to do. But, I feel Troy can accom plish it for us." When the Panthers come in from the field, Waldrip will be looked at to provide the offensive fireworks for Perry. "Dallas (Waldrip) is the only mainstay we have," said Jones. However, said Jones, Waldrip should not have to shoulder the of fensive burden alone. "Terry Yawn has come on and shown great improvement," said Jones. "He's gotten stronger. Tim Allen, a sophomore, is swinging the bat real well although he doesn't have a lot to show for it right now." Jones added that Britt, who is coming off a knee injury, would also be looked at to provide some offensive punch for the Panthers. "Those four guys there," said Jones, "we are looking to them to be the guys who drive in and produce runs."

"Our defense has kept us in a lot of ballgames," he said, adding that if the Panthers had been able to come up with a key hit or two in the Upson-Lee ballgame, they would have won because of good defense.
