She said it will be important
to have all the athletes in top
form.
“Our boys team is head-
ing into district much stronger
than the previous few years,”
she said. “Last year we placed
fourth and this year, we hope to
make a run at third place as a
team.”

The walkers, runners and
cyclists could choose to par-
ticipate in memory of a loved
one.
Ross said they have an ac-
count for donations reserved
for hospice patients who don’t
have insurance or whose in-
surance doesn’t cover all the
expenses, as well as for train-
ing.
“I am always so grateful
that people come out for the
event, not only showing sup-
port for the community but
for the hospice staff,” Ross
said. “It’s at times a difficult
job for the staff, so it’s great to
see the community come out
for a fun day and support the
team.”

What I like best about my sport:
“I like being in a sport where you compete
individually and as a team. I like golf because
the kids seem to be a lot nicer.”
Coach’s Comment: “Duane Stokes has
placed in his last four matches.
He will anchor the team at
district. He’s really refined
his game in the last three
weeks.”
