ROLEY Sport* Editor Perry physicians saw 649 ath letes Saturday morning, as students from Perry High School, Westfield Schools, Perry Middle School and Houston County High School re ceived their physicals for the 1994- 95 school year. "It went extremely good," said Perry Hospital administrator Jim Peak. "Any time you have 649 kids, you are going to have some problems in scheduling; but, (this year's physicals) was probably one of the most efficient ones we've had." "We had a few problems that we had to get straightened out at the beginning," said Chip McCarty, athletic trainer at Perry Hospital, who organized the event. "But, once teams, participated in the tourna ment. Klein said the money raised by the tournament would be used to start an epilepsy support group in the Middle Georgia area.

How ever, the physicals ended 30 min utes ahead of schedule. The physicals cost each student $5, with all proceeds going to the Houston County Board of Educa tion for athletic needs, which are not covered by regular board out lays. A physical done by a private physician in his office can cost as much as SIOO. McCarty said the physicals de tected several serious problems such as heart mummers with students who wanted to play sports next year. He also said the physicals showed that several students at the school needed glasses to correct vi sion problems. In order to participate in high school athletics, state law requires that all students have a current physical on file. The physicians, Perry hospital and other workers donated their time to do the physicals, said McCarty. He estimated that Perry Hospital spent $5,000 on the physicals. / / \\l Jr* fKammSSi , New Dodge Ram I Motor Trend's 1994 "TRUCK OF THE YEAR" I It's arrived. A truck like no other.
