Krlsly, who hail an overall 10-1 record, also hit .439 for the state champs, and was the talk of (lie state tourney with his great performance. While Wheeling won the title, Sophia, which advanced to the slate semi-finals, was the only team to land two players on the elite first squad. They were rifle armed catcher Joe (5od- ilard and lefty hurler Kent Martin.

Gary Lotos of Wellsburg, who heat state winner Wheeling twice during the regular season and who finished with an ll-i mark, was the other hurlcr named on the team. Tlie lone rejiealer from lasi year's team is Pat Kornsick, an outfielder for Wheeling Central Others named to tho dream team by the all slate hoard with recommendations from thi coaches, included first baseman Richard Delaney of state run nerup Parkersburg Joe Maxon nt second from Bridgeport, Nick Saban and Monongah at short Bill Elkins of Mullens at third all around great athelete Kim West of St. Albans us utility player, and Hick 151am of Hun tington High and Hector Sigmor of Cedar Grove in the outfieU Pitching in the slate was a an all time high, with som really fine moundsmen delegate lo the second and third teams and many to the Honorabl mention list. Dave White of Lo gan and Hick Starkey of Buck hannon 'just missed the firs team. When Kristy wasn't pitchin for Wheeling, he was playing shortstop, and he had an average of ,439.

However, it was his heroics at the state tourney, when he pitched the semi-final and championship games for the Northern team, that he won wide acclaim. The youngster had a 1:50 ERA this year, liis third as a regular for WHS. Lotos defeated the state champs twice during the regular season, and lost to them in the Regional.finals, although he hurled a tliree-hittcr, Gary had an ERA of 0.89, and had a three- year record of 24-2. Te other hurler, Martin, of Sophia, hurled two one hitters in sectional and regional play, and just missed a perfect game against Logan when he walked a batter. He had a 1.11 ERA, and has signed a baseball grant to attend Marshall.

Sophia's. catcher, Goddard, has also signed a MU grant. He has one oe the best throwing arms seen in the state by a catcher in several years, and he hit a healthy .377 for the season. First sacker Delaney hit .444, but his main forte is fielding. He made only one error in 20 nines and handled over 90 Maxon, the second base liolec, is credited with leading kldgeport to a fine 18-3 roc- rd, with his .425 hitting and parking defensive play.

Mlnonguh's Saban, Uie 'short- top pick, is a three sports tumlaut. He hit .444 for the sea- on, in addition to playing al- ost flawlessly afield. Elkins. like Saban only a titiior, has a great arm, and it .403 for the Mullens Rebels, le was charged with only one raiscue all season from his hot orncr spot. Korsnick leads the outfielders vith a nifty .458 average, being lie lone repeater on the team, jlke Sigmnn of Cedar Groves ind Elam of Hunlington, lie is a ine fly-chaser.

Elam swatted .379 for the 'oney Express of HITS, which made it to the slate tourney again, while Sigman batted 443 for Cedar Grove and was lighly respected in the Kanawha Valley. West only hit .300 for Kana- vha Valley champ St. Albans, jut he led Ms learn in BBf with 23. He also had an excellent 8-2 pitching record. He has accepted a WVU football scholarship.
