"MY THOUGHTS ON SPORTS"

"MY OPINIONS"

What you read here might sound like I like only certain teams, But I really do enjoy just about any sporting event. so from time to time I will attempt to take time to bring you up to date about how I think the game should be played.

I have been fortunate enough to have watched some of the best shooters in Indiana basketball, and I have to go down on record, that the greatest shooter of all time would be a man by the name of Jimmy Rayl. He was nicknamed "The Splendid Splinter", because of his lean body, and the prolific type of shots he took. He would give everything he had to the practice of perfecting his shot. He was said to have practiced till dark each night, and then be in the school gym, at least two hours before school each morning. Here was a shooter that could and still can shoot the basketball with perfection. Later I will give you some stats that will amaze you about this man.

Later when time is available, I will write about others.

Tonight, Feb. 15, 1997, I watched our Lady Kats basketball team win their regional, and they did it in style. This morning, they beat a pretty good Muncie Cental team, and tonight they beat Marion. It was a total team effort and one to be proud of. They go to Ft. Wayne next saturday, and if they win two games there, they will go to the state finals for the fifth time in six years.

Well the Lady Kats did well at Ft. Wayne, but fell to undefeated Northwood in the final game of the semi-finals. They were in the final eight teams of almost 500 teams which started the tourney. Great job, LADY KATS, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.

The boys started the sectional tourney with a victory over a tough Maconaquaw Brave team that knew how to shoot the three-pointers. We won by ten, but it was a tough win and we hope they can continue.

WHAT YOU READ HERE IS ONLY MY FEELINGS AND NOT THOSE OF ANYONE ELSE.
