Papooses win Little League title
The 1982 little league
baseball season has come and
gone w ith te a m s from
throughout Jefferson County
providing all the action.
Now that the echos of all the
Hoorays! the Yeahs! and Boos!
have all faded away the
Papooses of Warm Springs
emerged the ‘82 Champs,
sporting a perfect record of 10
wins and 0 losses.
It was through good team
effort and determination which
was the big factor behind the
teams successful season. Good
strong pitching of Dalton
Trimble and Tray Leonard
gave the team the big punch
they needed along with super
defense.

The coaches for the all stars are
Fran Moses and either the
coach from Culver or Julie
Mitchell.
Coach Leonard said that the
first part of the season it was a
little slow getting things
together but later on in the
season things begin to fall into
place and there was no problem
from then on as the Papooses
held on the finish in good shape
and a clean record.
Behind good pitching there
has to be good defensive play
which the Papooses done well,
the in field along with the
outfield was strong. The hitting
contributed its share of the
teams good season. It takes hits
to get runners on base and it
takes runners on base to score
points and thats just what the
Papooses did well, was to score
points.
Behind a kids team is the
enthusiasm of the parents.
There was tdtal cooperation
and. support from x all the
parents all season long, this
gave the kids a big boost to
know that the backing was
there.

the next step is the" state play
offs from which Jefferson

The loyalty and dedication

commended. He left behind a
great team which was all he
wanted, to be competitive and
enjoy the sport, the team was
his second family.
He stressed attitude conduct
on ad off the field and never
wanted to hear anyone say, “1
can’t do it.” His support and
strength as, friend, and father
is definitely missed, but his
coaching and teaching left a
team and family with the
