Post 11 Baseball: All the Team Records

Several years ago, I spent a couple of months at the Wayne County Library going through the Goldsboro New-Argus microfilm to get as much as I could in the way of scores and statistics. Well, I didn't get as much as I could, as there are limits to how much a person is willing to do in these matters. But I have stats and scores for each team, though the quality of the former varies. But here to my knowledge are the records of all the Post 11 teams from the beginning.

1945: 4-6 (Carlton Frederick of Frederick's Music played on this team.)
1946: 5-2
1947: 9-7

At this point, the program disbanded despite assurances that it would return. I couldn't find anything in the paper to explain what happened other than probably a lack of interest.

1960: 6-6
1961: 6-5
1962: 12-10
1963: 27-11 (State runner-up.)
1964: 24-11 (State runner-up.)

George Whitfield coached these two teams. Players include Wayne Sullivan, Rooster Narron, and Jimmy Bryan. Oh yes, some guy named Doyle Whitfield. Perhaps you've heard of him.

1965: 12-12
1966: 4-12
1967: 7-10
1968: 3-11

Whitfield remained with the program through 1965. The quality of play quickly deteriorated until the program again ceased to exist after the 1968 season.

1978: 5-12
1979: 7-13
1980: 13-9
1981: 7-14
1982: 4-15
1983: 15-9
1984: 28-9 (Area I champion)
1985: 19-13
1986: 8-16
1987: 13-8 (Allen Battle led the '86 and '87 teams in RBI and runs.)
1988: 17-11
1989: 9-11 (The last losing record.)

George Whitfield returned to coach Post 11 for the next three seasons.

1990: 16-14
1991: 21-6
1992: 24-5

Doyle Whitfield took over in 1993.

1993: 17-10
1994: 23-14 (Won league playoffs.)
1995: 15-14
1996: 30-10 (Won Area I.)
1997: 35-11 (Second in state.)
1998: 23-6
1999: 27-8
2000: 33-8: (Won league title, went to first state tournament held in NC.)
2001: 24-11
2002: 38-8 (Second in state; most wins ever by a Post 11 team.)

Whitfield retired and was replaced by Brad Reaves.

2003: 18-5
2004: 28-9
2005: 17-10
2006: 12-12

The all-time record is 665-404.

Comments are appreciated. I'll do something such as this from time to time.
