“One of the points of gender

Wrestling: Three wrestlers to return

match from becoming an All
American, just like his teammate
Cointment.
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.

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.
