Billy and the Boys by L. H. Duke PDF Summary

Book Description: DESTINED TO WIN? During the spring of 1956, a small-town high school baseball team in Southwest Georgia lived the impossible dream. It won game after game and advanced to the state playoffs. It was the sixth year the boys had played together, and along with Coach Billy Cox, they felt this was their year to go all the way. The time was now...now or never. But was it their destiny to win? Webster called destiny 'that which is predetermined to happen.' The boys called it 'full speed ahead and take no prisoners!' Billy and the boys complemented one another. Billy was easy going and laid back; the boys were as comfortable together as an old shoe but still had an insatiable desire for winning and a time-is-right attitude. Together they turned District 3C on its ear en route to the Georgia state playoffs. This is the story-game by game-of the season when a close-knit group of boys from the country and a God-fearing, dedicated coach defied all odds for the Georgia class C championship, in some of the greatest games in playoff history. The author was born and reared in Americus, Georgia, and was educated in local schools and colleges within the state. He served four years with the U. S. Navy during the Vietnam War aboard the anti-submarine support aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge CVS-33, Long Beach, California, and Reconnaissance Attack Squadron Three, Naval Air Station, Albany, Georgia. He is retired civil service as a configuration management specialist and mechanical engineering technician with a U. S. Marine Corps logistics base. An amateur songwriter and member of Broadcast Music Incorporated, he enjoys bluegrass music and watching the Atlanta Braves on television.
