We did just about everything you didn't want to do." Jones said that the team's not making the playoffs was a little disappointing. We started the year Figuring we would be somewhere around .500," Jones said. "We were one game be low .500. We played with a lot of young players, and they made young mistakes at times.

Perhaps the NCAA could even go the route of other amateur sports, which allow the athlete to be paid.

It was the first time in four years that we did not make the playoffs. It would have been very gratifying to make the playoffs re gardless of what would have hap pened afterwards. "Overall, we played about like the team that we were. I was pleased with some spots and disap pointed in other spots. It was one of those seasons where we had to take some lumps.” Jones said that the team would Tarvis Felton ran the 1500 meter run, Boris King qualified in the dis cus, Williams in the pole vault, Rickevia Jackson in the 800 meter run and Natalie Taylor in the long a trust fund. The athletes can then use the money in their fund to meet normal expenses. The NCAA wants to maintain the image of the student-athlete. However, it is becoming increas ingly difficult to maintain that dif ferential. Letting the athlete lcgiti- "When we were at 2-11," he said, "I thought that there was a possibility that we might not win another game." But, the Hornets turned the sea son around, winning six of their next 10 games. The only team to outclass the Hornets in the second half of the season was state cham pion Stratford, which beat the Hor nets late in the regular season 20-0, and knocked them out of the play offs with a 16-0 triumph. Talton led the second half resur gent, winning five of the last 10 games, and getting most of his RBIs in those games. Brown said that he had a talk with his senior pitcher. "Lon had a lot of pressure to per form early in the season.," said Brown, who noted that Talton was hitting in the number four slot de spite the fact that he did not have "clean-up" power. "I told him to re lax, try to play and have a good time. To a certain extent the talk worked." "We got off to a slow start," said Brown. "We were just so inexperi enced that it took the better part of 14-to-15 games for a lot of the kids to reach the point where they could play and succeed on the varsity level. "Even though we had a lot of seniors," said Brown, "they did not have a lot of playing time." Next year, the Hornets will be much younger, with just two ju niors, Jake Wells and Michael Davis, from this year's team be coming seniors. Brown will have four other players back from the '94 team: Matt Shipley, Greg Adams, Brian Staines and Keith Waites. However, Brown said the Hor nets had a lot of good players com ing up from the "B" team to go along with the players he had re turning. "We are going to be com petitive next year," he said. be better off in the future after the 1994 season. "I’m really looking forward to next year," he said. "Without a doubt, we will be much better skill-wise, stronger and know more about the game. We will have a lot more confidence going out and playing." The Panthers will lose only one player to graduation from this year’s team. However, that player, Waldrip, will be hard to replace. Waldrip led the team in batting, hitting .410, homeruns with five and RBIs with 30. "He had an ex ceptional year," said Jones. "He did a good job on the mound. He was the victim (pitching) in some of the games we did not win." Waldrip is being recruited by several colleges, including several NCAA Division I schools. Cur rently, he is looking at Liberty University, but will not make a de cision until after the Georgia Ex travaganza All-Star tournament at Kennesaw College. Everybody else returns. Pitching was shallow for the Panthers in 1994. Two of the three pitchers that Jones had this year will be returning. Jones added that some of the pitchers who saw spot duty on the varsity team and "B" team will see more innings next year. The pitching staff will also be helped if a player who could not play because of eligibility problems returns. jump. In addition to the 1500 meter relay, Felton also ran the 800 meter run and competed in the high jump at the state meet. Panther makes all star team Panther ace Dallas Waldrlp was named to the Georgia Extravaganza All-Star tournament, which will be held the weekend of May 27 at Kennesaw College, north of Atlanta. mately earn the money necessary to meet normal needs would return most of the missing mystique to the concept of a student-athlete.
