A fomer college and semi-pro player, Billingsley, has lots of knowledge of the. fame; of baseball plus being, a high school teacher for 14 years he knows how to reach the youth. After graduating in 1973, Billingsley went to school in Arizona, "I felt honored to have the chance to play on the college team because I made the team as a walk-on, while the other 24 guys had scholarships to play baseball. I played for year one before injuring my ankle, I had to choose either to have surgery or put it in a cast. I decide to put a cast on, We were in the middle of playoffs and during, our first playoff game, I reinjured it so my college career ended. I then went on to play on a semi-pro team for a couple of years, then I started to play fast-pitch softball. This was a good experiece to meet a lot of good people." Billingsley added "I also started to teach. I was a teacher for 14 years. The last couple of years I started a youth baseball team, but due to the weather in South Dakota, we could not play that many games. "When I heard about this job, I could not pass it up, I have always wanted to do this and graduating from Madras makes it even more special. I plan to stay here as long as the school will have me. I want to start a summer program to help develop the skills of the kids and the more games they play the better they will get," concluded Billingsley.

Here are a few quick reminders that may help survive the gusts. Going downwind the wind will straighten your shot as well as take a lot of backspin Off the ball. So while your tee shots will run more, so will your approaches, pitches, and chips into the ens. So plan for more run on the greens. I also recommend teeing off with a three wood for two reasons, 1) You will get the ball up in the wind so it can ride it and 2) The driver puts the least amount of backspin on a ball so a strong tail wind can actually knock a driver down. Into the wind the number one thing to remember is to sw ing easy, lead by as many as 30 to 40 points and Warm Springs buttling back tol make a game of it. Luke Spotted Bear poured in 40 points for the winners' and for Warm Springs Scott Moses had 23, Scott Riddle scored 22 oncj Jake Suppah added 20.

The harder you hit a shot the more spin you will put on it, the harder the wind blows the more your mistakes are magnified. A little slice becomes big, a little hook goes out of control. By swinging easier you will put less spin on the ball! letting it bore through the wind much easier, and keeping those errant shots on course. The good news is your chips and pitches will stop quicker, so you can throw those aggressively at the hole. ; In any strong wind you may try to widen your stance so you are able to keep your balance on all shots. Other than that be patient and remember it is a game. Joe Raushenburg iik... Vvv' . I
