from the state. Each team had a
chance for a car one one of the three
par 3s each day. A million dollar
shootout was held at the conclusion
of play on Sunday. David Brown
came the closest out of the eight
competitors eligible with a shot
that rolled to within 12 feet of an
ace and $1 million.
"This year was our biggest yet,”
said Tom Waldrof, one of the tour
nament sponsors. "We had 96

"We won the region and finished
fourth in the state," said Arrington.
"There are a lot of people who
would like to swap places with us."
John Walker of FPD was low
medallist for the state, shooting a
69. Ed Strickland was the closest
Westfield golfer, coming into the
clubhouse with a 77. Todd Rigdon
finished the day one stroke behind
Strickland with a 78.
Both scores were close to the
season averages of the two players,
who led the Hornets to a near-unde
feated regular season. The only two

ball, even the star will cause his
team to lose every once in a while.
I've seen star players afraid to
make a mistake for fear of catching
it from a coach or a parent. I've
seen games where everyone but the
star enjoyed the game. He's just a
kid.
Let your kid know that you love
him. Too often in youth sports, the
kids feel that love is conditional on
the last at-bat, the last pitch, the
last fielding attempt.
Look for chances to praise your
child. So he struck out his only
two plate attempts —but, did he
swing the bat, did he make contact?
A bad game is a perfect opportu
nity for a parent to let his child
know that he loves him or her un
conditionally. It is the perfect time
to take a child and say, "I love you
for being you."

Scott Hill took third among the
Hornet golfers, finishing the after

and Keith Davis tied with 86.
Arrington said his team was
looking forward to next year. All
five of his top golfers will be back
next year. He added that he had sev

cut for the team, but that could im
prove their games and challenge for
positions next year.

will never win the game that you

Far too many parents try to live
a fantasy through their children. A
parent's fantasy often robs the child
of the game.
There is a poem that is used by
many youth leagues. I don't know
the author, but here is the poem:
"Just a Litdc Boy"
He stands at the plate with Heart
pounding fast—
The bases are loaded; the die has
been cast.
Mom and dad cannot help him, he
stands all alone;
A hit at this moment would sent

In the fourth flight, Dave Barker

Lanny English and Mike Ratliff

The winner of the 1987 Coca
Cola Pro-Junior Championship and
professional champion of the 1987
Indiana Pro-Junior, Hobbs holds
two course records.
Hobbs is currently working to
ward status as a Master Professional
with the PGA of America. He has
met all qualification criteria since
becoming eligible to progress to
ward Master Professional, and ex
pects to complete all the require
ments for the award within two
years.
There's a groan from the crowd with
some boos and some hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries, "Strike
out the Bum!"
Tears fill his eyes; the game's no
longer fun.
So open your eyes and give him a
break,
For it's moments like this a man
you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear
someone forget,
He's just a little boy, and not a man
yet.
Finally, we need to remember
that the game belongs to the child.
When adults take over, they ruin
the game. That should never, ever
happen.
And, speaking of youth baseball,
I would like to hear from the people
at Ochlahalchee to get your results
in the paper. Give me a call at 987-
