Description
The men's baseball teams flourished under the direction of coach Leroy Wheat. The program sent many players to college teams and also produced several players who reached the major leagues, including Craig Skok and Don Newhowser. Until a diamond was built on Central Campus, the team practiced at New River Middle school and played its games at Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale.
