For Hillsboro High golf coach Scott O’Hare, the more things change the more they stay the same.
Last season, O’Hare had the core of a strong four-man team with three pretty consistent low scorers, but also a big question mark for a fourth score low enough to vault the Trojans into medal contention.
Seniors and returning letter-winners on the 2007 Marion High School softball team are (juniors, front row, left to right): Kristin Waner, Tacy Taylor, Valeree Hett, Lanna Carroll, Lauren Helmer, Austin Percell; (seniors, back row) Stefanie Schell, Jandee Sharp, Morgan Cady, Kari Tajchman, Sonja Steinborn and Erika Geis. First-year Marion High School softball coach Sandy Black will have an intriguing group of freshmen to complement a deep group of upperclassmen coming off a 7-13 season in 2006. “I would rather focus on this year and the good group of athletic girls I have out,” Black said. “Each and every girl will be an important part of the team and play an important role in helping us to be successful. I do not want to single out any of my girls, we are a team and we are all very talented.” The squad will open its season at home against Smoky Valley on Tuesday, April 3.
Warrior veterans Aaron Burnett, Calvin Jeffrey, Zan Fine and Chase Williams (from left) will lead the 2007 Marion baseball team this season. MHS was 2-17 a year ago.
Marion Warriors baseball coach Shawn Craft has a modest goal to start the 2007 season: to improve a little every day.
“Improving every week, every game. That’s been our focus through spring training,” Craft said. “We’re focused on getting better every day.”
Five returning players and a foreign-exchange student from Germany will form the nucleus of the HHS tennis team this spring. Pictured are: back row (from left) Mark Prieb, Matthew Brown; front row, Max Thiel, Clay Shewey and Ben Bebermeyer.
Having lost five-sixths of last year’s varsity lineup to graduation, Hillsboro High boys’ tennis coach Kory Unruh sees this season’s challenge quite clearly.
“Starting my sixth year, this is the first time I can definitely say we’re starting a full rebuilding year,” Unruh said.
Four Hillsboro Trojans and three Marion Warriors have received all-league recognition from the basketball coaches of the Mid-Central Activities Association.
