Local task force to meet
By Donnie A. Lucas
The Albany Lions went to an
eighth inning against the Cooper
JV last Tuesday, April 3, before
losing the game 5-2.
The two teams were knotted at
2-2 at the end of the regular seven
innings, but Cooper batted in
three unanswered runs in the top
of the eighth for the win.
Cooper opened the scoring with
one run in the first and another in
the second. Albany scored a run
in both the third and fourth to tie
up the ballgame.
Scoring for Albany were Bobby
Smith and Chris Hargett.
Smith got two hits at bat and
drove home one RBI. John Lena-
mon knocked home the other RBI
for Albany on a double.
Doug Potter got three hits, in-
cluding a double for the team,
while Randy Holson and Hargett
Sixty local citizens have been
asked to meet Thursday, April 19,
as a study group to identify
critical local issues and help
determine possible solutions.
The meeting is sponsored by
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service as it begins planning long-
range programs to help meet local
concerns.
The group will meet at 7:00
p.m. at the courthouse.
The citizens will divide into
four task forces including
agriculture and natural
resources, home economics, youth
and community development.
Each task force will identify
matters of wide public concern in
its area. The entire study group
will then discuss how these affect
county conditions.

agent, 762-2232.
hit the ball twice. Hargett also
had a double.
"I thought we played a very
good ball game against an out-
standing JV team from a great
program," said Coach Denney
Faith. "We out hit them — we
just didn't get the clutch hit when
we needed it."
Doug Potter pitched through
the first out of the eighth for the
Lions, giving up five runs on five
hits and five walks. He struck out
five at the plate.
Bobby Smith pitched the final
two outs of the game, giving up
one hit and striking out one bat-
ter from the mound.
Albany committed three errors
during the game.

"Potter did a great job pitching
the ball for us," said the coach.
"He threw the ball hard and did
an outstanding job after runners
were on base."
The Lions were scheduled to
play Cross Plains on Friday, April
6, but the game was cancelled by
Cross Plains. Faith said that
"Cross Plains had too many kids
involved in other activities —
they didn't have enough to play."
The Lions are bringing a 5-4
record into district play, which
was set to begin Tuesday, April
10, with Albany hosting Ranger.
Albany is also scheduled to travel
to Hawley on Saturday, April 14.
Girls leading district golf tourney
The Albany High girls' golf
team is in the lead following the
first half of District 7-2A tourna-
ment action last week. The AHS
boys' team is currently in second
place.
The first round of the district
tournament was held Wednesday,
April 4, at Maxwell Municipal
Golf Course in Abilene. The se-
cond round was slated for
Wednesday, April 11, which
would determine the winners and
regional qualifiers.
The girls' team total following
the first round was 457, leading
Hamlin with 485 and Jim Ned
with 518.
Medalist Tammy Rogers was
also in first place with a first
round score of 93.
In second place as medalist was
Julia Jowers of Jim Ned, followed
by Maggie Bell of Kamlin.
Cindy Parrott of Albany was in
fourth place with 113. Other Al-
bany individual scores were Laci
Henderson, 125; Jennifer
Schlegel, 126; and Stephanie
Heatley, 127.
"Tammy had a good day, and
shoots consistently well," com-
menti 1 Coach Leslie Winegeart.
"She did well Wednesday, but I
know she can do even better.
Laci, Jennifer and Cindy did very
well, but Stephanie had a bad
day."
In boys' action, the AHS golfers
were divided into two teams —
"A" and "B." After the first round
of district competition, the
Albany "A" team was in second
place with a team total of 358,
trailing Hamlin with 333.
Other team scores were Anson,
367; Stamford, 412; Jim Ned, 445;
and Albany "B," 495.
Jeff Lenamon of Albany is in
the middle of a "real tight race" in
the medalist competition, Wine-
geart said.
Lenamon turned in a score of
81, which puts him in second place
behind Hamlin's Jeff Bell with 80.
Dusty Burson of Haskell shot 82
for third place. Two golfers —
Jeffrey Poe and Casey Hodges,
both of Hamlin — are tied for
fourth with 83. "Just about
anything could happen with the
medalists," he said.
Along with Lenamon, other
golfers on the "A" team are Jim
McComas, 87; Eugene Castaneda,
95; Blake Picquet, 95; and Robert
Snyder, 105.
Members of the Albany "B"
team include Joe Alcaraz, 114;
Robert Boyd, 122; Cody Leech,
128; Chris Edgar, 131; and Teddy
Whitt, 145.
"As a team, the boys keep
lowering their scores every
week," the coach said. "They are
doing well and I have been
pleased."
Although Winegeart stated
that he thought Albany was too
far out of the race for first place,
he thought the team should earn a
second place victory.
Both first and second place
teams for boys and girls will ad-
vance to the regional tournament,
which will be held April 26-27 at
Maxwell Municipal Golf Course in
Abilene.
Complete results from the se-
cond round of district action will
be included in next week's issue
of the News.
