But they actually look better throw ing the ball than running it.” On the other side of that coin is Westfield. Happy and content Westfield at 2-0. “I just can’t say enough about how proud I am of our players,” Jones said. “The biggest thing I’m proud of these kids about is that they’re all over the field. They’re flying to the football on defense. Defense is what won us that ballgame (this past Friday against Mount de Sales).” If Jones has any big con cern, it’s the fact the play ers “flying to the football” are the same ones. He said right now he has all of his skill players playing on both sides of the football. “I’m just hoping some of our younger sophomore players are going to get better in the early part (of the season), so that maybe they can begin to get in the game ... even if it’s only so that some of the other guys can get a breather.” Demonettes finish 4-1 at Evans tournament From staff reports Warner Robins competed in the Evans Fast-pitch Softball Tournament this past Friday and Saturday in the city by the same name with the grand Perry goes 2-3 at Watermelon softball invite By MATTHEW BROWN Journal Sports Writer Perry High’s softball team had a 2-3 showing at the Watermelon Invitational hosted by Crisp County High in Cordele Friday and Saturday.

Audrey Clearman has filled in well at the receiver spot as she threw out two would-be base stealers on Saturday. Clearman also had two hits, including a first inning single to plate Jamie Marshall, who reached base on a double. “We put the ball in play well,” said Culverhouse, who also got hits from Hanna Jones and Jenni Grier. His team also batted around in the fourth inning to score four runs. “The infield played exceptional.” BASICS Frompage jB in general.” That said then, those aforementioned things auto matically went to the head of the list. That, and going back to basics, Scott said, “... blocking, tackling, sustain ing drives ... Things that win football games.” That - practice - applies to Monday-Thursday, how ever, as Scott said he would “probably” give the group Friday off. That, he said, was so they could go and scout Jackson, who Scott added the Panthers would also begin preparing for this week, in its next game. Jackson, in Region 4A-AAA, is 0- 1 after having lost 25-13 to Union Grove - a AAAA school - the first week of the season. The Red Devils then had a bye this past weekend. ■ f (Sjy SilfSx flfllf ■ ' ■£s*' % \ 1 —i - I - : Contributed Westfield’s Joel Revis finds a little running room in the Hornets’ win over Mount de Sales in Macon Friday.

If you stop the pass, they’re going to run it. It’s going to be a challenge. “Plus, they have a lot of guys back from last year so when you have a bunch of athletes out there and you start spreading it out and start throwing it ... that scares you more than any thing.

And we had some turn overs and made some men tal mistakes on both sides of the ball. “But our kids played hard. If we can get that, the coaches can correct the other.” • The donation Is tax deductible. • Pick-up Is free. • We take care of all the paperwork. p: " N »00-< ... iM \ \.\ * ,HO SH .”'*' ~, , .. v jvf 'O ! ’ .ovh'HS ImA r V/i ► L 533 IT
