 Baseball Rebuilding . . . Better In The Future What can one say about a baseball team who only won three games out of thirteen. “It wasn’t the best, but we did have fun while we played.” stated sophomore Brent Free- man. With the loss of almost ev- ery one from last year's awe- some team (due to gradu- ation). this year was like a re- building program. Many of the players has little or no ex- perience underneath their belts, so it was expected that this year's team would not be the greatest. ble win for the team was their victory over the Pcrryvillc team 19-18. “We played real gether as a team.” Jeremy Ford well The worst moment for the majority of the baseball team was the hard hitting and fast Dardancllc ll-l running Dover Pirates. Dover. Dardancllc 4-6 after having a lean year last Alread 1-30 year, proved to be the team to Lamar 1-0 beat as the pounded the Hcc- Wondervicw 3-0 lor Wildcats 14-0 in regular Clarksville 3-2 play and 8-0 in the first round Clarksville (B) 4-3 of the district tournament Dover 14-0 held at Dover. Dover (B) 4-1 “Our hitting was the worst Dardcncllc 7-2 part of the game.

The Fundamentals Of It All Sports Preventative Medicine Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeecetch! Again. Strcceeeeeeeeeeeee- tch! Again and again, these words can be heard throughout the confines of the Hector Athletic Depart- ment. Why? Why waste time on needless stretching exercises that take most the practice time away when the team needs to be working on fundamentals and plays in their selected sport. Because stretching IS a fundamenti of sports. Injuries plague most ath- letes thorughout their ca- reer at one time or another. The most common injuries are pulled ligments in the knee or ankle. Some more serious injuries that may oc- cur are separated shoulder, broken collar bones, and broken arms and legs. This year a concussion was even added to the list of injuries of Hector Athletes. What seems to be the so- lution to many of these in- juries? Preventative sports medicine. That’s right a good program of stretching exercises before sports and a good program of cool down exercises after the sports have been played. One may ask why? Because these ex- ercises help the body and its system of muscle get use to the activity that will be re- quired from them later. With a good program, injur- ies will decline. glory by Trtslu H»miHow
