"We were just flat in this one and made a lot of mistakes. We couldn't the ball. Their pitchers weren't overpowering; we just didn't hit," says Artis Stratton, who assisted Billy Joe Coleman in coaching the team.

Stratton was also league president and the one most responsible for reviving Logan County Babe Ruth baseball.

"I think all three teams did well to make it to state when we didn't even have Babe Ruth last year," Stratton says.

"Billy Joe, Jerald Tabb and Dickie Shifflett all did a good job coaching their teams, and the players had a great attitude."
