All in all, this was a good fin ish for a pretty tough season. During the season, the Cougars were unfortunate enough to lose a number of their teammates to injury and grade problems, so they were a little shorthanded. “It’s been an up and down sea son physically,” said Martindale. “It’s hard to put a wrestler in a weight class and expect them to stay there.” But even with these early diffi culties, the Cougars pulled to gether and represented CCC at the national championship. “Individually, we fared well, but the results didn’t show it,” said Martindale. Three of the wrestlers who com peted at Nationals will be return ing to the team next season. Martindale will be looking to them to help lead the new wrestlers in the upcoming year. “It’s good to know that I have three wrestlers returning that have been there before and can share their experience? with the team. They will be big contributors to the team,” said Martindale. preparation ELENA BORYSKA Sports Editor On Wednesday, Feb. 27, Major League Baseball will begin its month of spring training games, marking the beginning greatest eight months of the sports year. Heading to either sunny Arizona or tropical Florida, these lucky pro baseball players will pack their gloves and cleats and once again head out to re sume their careers as players of a boys’ game. In honor of this amazing time of the year, here is a countdown of ways to prepare for the beginning of baseball season: 7. Wash last season’s sweat out of your lucky baseball hat Maybe, just maybe, it will wash away the heartache that your team caused you last year. Note: Diamondbacks fans may want to save hat washing for after the end of this season. 6. Buy a bag of sunflower seeds and get back into the habit of snack ing on a large number of those salty treats each day. Can you say ad dicted? Never! 5. Play one of those life-like base ball video games. Too bad you can’t pitch like Randy Johnson, throw like Ichiro or knock the ball out of the park like Jim Thome without the help of an electronic game system. Maybe one of these days though... 4. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING ‘ TOR LOVE OF THE GAME!” Instead, watch one of those blooper videos. Hey they both have about as much of a plot. And besides, at least the bloopers are re alistic. 3. Prepare for the heartache of the postseason by continuously repeat ing, “There’s always next year. There’s always next year.” Rec ommend more practice for un fortunate fans of the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians or Chi cago Cubs. 2. Watch “Field of Dreams.” If you are a base ball fan and don’t enjoy this movie, you must be insane. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want a baseball field like that in their backyard? Al though I guess I could do without the ghosts. That’s a little on the creepy side. And the number one thing to do in preparation for the baseball sea son? 1. Pull out your trusty baseball glove, you know, the one that you’ve had since forever, and play a good old-fashioned game of catch with your best bud. Have a nice long talk about the old days, the future and even what might have happened had you accepted that offer from the Yankees to play shortstop for them in place of Derek Jeter. right mind wouldn’t want a baseball field...in their backyard?” WORK IN A HELPING PROFESSION PREPARE FOR A CAREER, PREPARE FOR LIFE.
