What the law is attempt

If football teams get new

all the other teams get the

If the basketball team

The law does state that if
the baseball field has lights

In the case of the new
softball fields at Perry,
Warner Robins, the fields
are being wired for lights
that will be installed as
soon as the board can budg
et them in in other
words, soon
In the spirit of equity,
Houston County High
School is getting a new con
cession stand to match the
facilities at Perry and
Warner Robins.
Northside will get its field
in 2005. The property,
located beyond the baseball
field behind the school, was
recently purchased
Its field will match the
other schools.
Once the fields are in use.
the booster clubs can raise
money for whatever
improvements they believe
their facility needs.
I don't mind being wrong.
I’ve been married twice,
which means I was wrong
at least once.
What I hate is spreading
double put Houston County
up 5-2 heading into the bot

And then Henry County
mounted a rally. Not much of
one both teams finished
the night with four hits
but enough.
“They scored two runs
(three total) with two outs
and won 5-4,” said Houston

misinformation. That I
have been doing.
I do huve one problem,
though Why is it necessary
to adhere to the letter of
the law when it pertains to
dugouts?
The school system is
spending $265,000 to build
the fields at Perry and
Warner Robins and the con
cession stand at Houston
County
That’s half as much as it
would have cost to subcon
tract.
Why couldn't they have
put some of that savings
into concrete block dugouts
rather than the wire cages
being built?
Twenty feet of extra
mesh is cheaper but not
better than proper dugouts.
It’s like putting every
body in refrigerator boxes
just to maintain equity.
On the positive side,
estheticallv, the current
dugouts will match the rest
of the fence and won’t that
be cute?
County head baseball coach
Jim Turner, whose squad fell
to 3-3 in Region 2-AAAAA.
“We actually played
extremely well ... except for
that.”
Next up is Warner Rohins,
today.
“That's huge,” Turner
said.

to reach base.
The next hitter, Nick
Cherney, hit a two-run home
run to extend their lead to 7-
0 and chase Jackson out of
the game.
Stockbridge answered in
the top of the third with a
two-run double by Love.
Eaton then walked the next
hitter. Northside quickly
intercepted the momentum
when catcher Dustin Carter
threw down to second base to
pick off Love, and then
turned a 6-4-3 double play to
end the inning.
Northside pushed across
four more runs, which
included Bowen’s second solo
home run.
During the last four at
bats, the Eagles threatened
to end the game by reaching
a 10-run lead.
However, pop-ups and
strikeouts ended the innings,
which stranded a combined
five runners in scoring posi
tion.
Eaton went the distance
on the mound. He allowed
four earned runs on four hits
while striking out six.
LeadofT hitter Corey Bryan
homered off Eaton in the top
of the seventh for the Tigers’
last two runs.
“The biggest thing they’ve
done right now is they’ve
grown up," Kinsler added.
“They started growing up,
and not being quite as soft I
thought earlier in the year,
that we were soft as it team.
They've gotten tougher and
obviously more intense.
Right now, our kids are real
ly responding ... picking up
the tempo."

coaching staff has implemented
a grading system in hopes of
measuring the competitiveness

of their players. They're tallying
both positive and negative
efforts. Kinsler said Monday that
players are aware there are con
sequences to lapses in their
intensity. Hustle plays, like back
ing up throws, running out pop
flies, etc, represent positive
efforts.
■ Monday's performance
against Stockbridge yielded a
wealth of plus signs, most
notably on defense. B.J. Stewart
and Heath Spears left their feet to
make diving grabs in the outfield.
Catcher Dustin Miller threw a bul
let to second baseman Adam
Smith to successfully pull off the
most difficult pickoff plays in
baseball in the third. The Eagles
followed up that effort with an
inning-ending double play. Miller
also threw out Tiger starting
pitcher Daniel Jackson trying to
steal in the fourth inning.
■ Northside will be very busy
next week. In between three
demanding region games, the
Eagles will make room for possi
bly their most unique non-region
opponent, the Central Square
Red Hawks from New York state.
The team will be playing a senes
of games around Georgia while
its players are on spring break.
Kinsler said he was contacted
by head coach Don Corr of
Jonesboro about a possible
match-up Corr has relatives in
the area, and is possibly associ
ated with the school.
