Indoor track team

season.
   Under the leadership of Coaches Smith and Bullheller and Captains Ronald Hardy, Dwight Moore, and Bruce LaLonde, the Wilson track team ended its 1971 season proved strong in all fourteen track events and was represented by Howard- Joyner, Alvin Ely, Ronald Hardy, and Bruce La- Londe at the state meet in Lexington on February 27.

   The victories were over Cradock, Western Branch, and Oscar Smith; Norcom forfeited its meet to Wilson.
   Andrew "Sonny" Hill, who runs the hurdles, was considered the best newcomer by Coaches Smith and Bullheller.

Charles Kahler
Ricky Mattox
    Of this year's golf team, Coach Beale says "They look good for four out of eight being freshman."
    Ricky Mattox is the only returning letterman out of four from last year. "Dwight Spivey, returning to Wilson from  school is also a good prospect," says Coach Beale. Both are seniors. "Michael Scanlon and Geoffrey Clyver, both juniors look good for the
team for this year and next year," says the coach.
    Charles Kahler, Robert Rordon, Earnest Stokes, and James Robinson are the freshman on this year's team.
Sumner, Hurwitz, Morris lead 1971 tennis squad.
Row 1 - Jonathan Rivin, Robert Sumner, Mark Kozak, Keith Gettier. Row 2 - Coach McMillan, Alan
Shapiro, Louis Morris, Robert Hurwitz, Jed Levinson
   Coach Phil McMillan assumed coaching duties for the Woodrow Wilson tennis team in 1971 in what promises to be a highly successful year. The team will play ten matches in 1971 against such tough Southeastern District teams as Cradock and Churchland. Their toughest non-district team they will play is Maury. The starters this year will be Louis Morris, Robert Hurwitz, Robert Sumner, Mark Kozak, Jed Levinson, and
Allan Shapiro.
    Finishing second in the southeastern district last year with a seven and three record, the prospect of a higher finish this year and next is enhanced by the fact that the starting lineup is made up of four underclassmen and two juniors.

The baseball team for 1971.
Ron Peaks
Roger Cross
David VanDorn
Buddy Miner
Dana McCormick
Coy Godwin
Les Thorne
Glenn Groom
   This promises to be a difficult year for the Wilson Varsity baseball team, but Coach Prince thinks that the team can finish in the top half of the conference.
   Pitching seems to be the question mark hanging over the team this year, but an outstanding effort should be turned in by returning pitcher Dana McCormick. The other pitchers are first year men Glen Croome, Johnny Moss, and Les Thorne.
   Fielding is the team's strong point this year. In the outfield will be Ton Davis, Mike Griffin, Bruce Zirkle, and Ronnie Peaks.
   Eddie Lilley and Rober Cross will play at the first base position, Buddy Minor and Louis Bagley will play at second, Howard Henry and Reginald Jones will play at third, and Coy Godwin and David Van Dorn will be the shortstops. David Moss and Butch Daniels will be the catchers.
   Leading hitters this year should be Bruce Zirkle, David Moss, Eddie Lilley, and Mike Griffin.
