"Mrs. Bacherlor "Honey Bee" smoking in the dug out and yelling "Kick it Baby
Mule". Coach Barwick having us do "line rolls" in short pants and yelling
"whip, whip" before games, especially down in PC playing Mosely & Choctaw -
dressing out 16 players when they had 35 or 40 & stomping their ass. Never
lost a Leon tournament. Hit 3 home runs off CF Terrell Parker and the 4th
time at bat being hit by a pitch - people from Lincoln clapping and yelling, and
when I charged the mound, Don 7 John Yates went after the people in the stands."

"During our Senior year Coach Harold Barwick had us wear uniforms that included
short pants. We had a pretty good winning streak wearing the short pants
and went pretty deep into the State Playoffs. Got beat (3-2) in the State
Quarter Finals by Jacksonville Bishop Kenny High School. We really only
had one pitcher the whole season (Robert Chambers). That team had some
very good athletes."
