Another amazing find in Douglas, was this Douglas High School newspaper article about my Uncle Bill Scott. He played in seven games, was at bat 17 times and got six hits with a .353 batting average.
Louis McKay, peppery backstop for the bulldogs, led the 'dawgs in hitting this past season collecting 24 safeties in 37 trips to the plate. McKay, in nine games, hit a .648 clip. Right behind the Bulldog backstop was Tony Morales who hit in the clean up spot for Coach Sancet (FYI-he was the baseball coach at the University of Arizona from 1950-1972). Morales hit 29 times out of 47 tries for a .617 average. Morales' blows were usually for extra bases and he collected 8 home runs in 10 games.
The Bulldogs had nine hitters over the .300 mark. This was the most successful season Douglas has enjoyed in baseball. Coach Sancet had his team playing head-up ball winning eight games and losing two.
