Perham softball head coach Tyler Doll knew his team would need to score a lot of runs if it wanted to beat the Park Rapids Area Panthers on April 4 at Arvig Park. However, Panther pitcher Brooke Jerger made sure that didn’t happen when she shut down the Yellowjackets, helping the Panthers to an 11-1 season opening win. Jerger scattered four hits while allowing one run. She struck out eight and did not walk a batter. She started strong, striking out five of the six batters she faced to start the game.…

Underground in Ann Arbor, Michigan are the archives for the University of Michigan. There you can find the Final Four, “... banners from 1992 and 1993” (Thamel). The Fab Five, known as “The Greatest Class Ever Recruited” had bald heads, sagging shorts, black socks, and an attitude that changed College Basketball forever. “They don’t care how they were perceived” (Hehir). They had a journey to get to the point of the Chris Webber scandal.…

A part of life is failing, but without failure one cannot gain new insight and learn from their mistakes. With the UCLA Women's Volleyball team part of my job is creating new in-game activities to engage the crowd and keep their energy level up. I thought it would be a great idea to have fans take selfies of themselves cheering on the team, tagging the photos on twitter with #USeeLAFans, and tweet the photos with the hashtag to the team's official twitter account. The best pictures (of those accounts that are following the team's account) will be retweeted and displayed throughout the match on the big screen video boards; and the best picture of the night would receive a free UCLA Women's Volleyball fan package with free t-shirts and tickets,…
At the mid-way point in the fourth quarter the score was fifteen to twenty one in favor of Hoytville. Hillcrest had the ball though, and everyone was sure that they would score. Finally Hillcrest got down to the goal line with only a minute left and no time outs. On first down they passed and it was incomplete, on second down Joe Mitchell ran and was stopped just short of the goal line and the out of bounds line. Now Hillcrest really had to hurry, because there was only seconds left.…
We played nationally ranked teams across the country. We were the underdogs in the tournament because this would be our first national tournament. Although we were the underdogs, we were not intimidated. We prepared for these games just as we did any others. We prayed, said a team chant, stretched, and warmed up.…
After the game, Jessica’s dad ran over to the girls and congratulated them with hugs and high fives. “Awesome game girls, let's sit in the shade and get some fluids.” Amanda and Jessica followed him to a shady spot near the tree and stripped off their socks and shoes. They knew better than to run around in the sun and heat when they had three more games ahead of them, and they definitely knew that they shouldn’t argue with their coach. Their hour break was flew by; the girls lounged in the shade and shared headphones.…
So we prayed and the game started and we played nervously. My captain, Melissa dribbled down the court, looked to pass, and took the shot but missed it. Michelle also missed her fast-break lay up, and I missed my free throw. At the end of Quarter 2, it was like playing football because the scoreboard only shows 2 for Ipeka Tomang (my school) and 3 for Yadika. That indicates how much we are struggling the whole quarter never really score but a constant battle between getting and loosing the ball.…
