Winter Sports Night
Seniors Who Will Never Play Sports Again
This is a tough time in a high school student's life when they are forced to stop playing sports because they are going off to college. Many seniors who go off to college don't plan on playing sports at the college of their choice. In college, however, there are pick-up games for sports like basketball and baseball, but for sports like swimming and wrestling there are not going to be any more meets or matches. This must make a huge impact on the life of a kid who knows they are done with a game they grew up with or a game they may have just picked up a little while ago. The question is, how is their life going to alter? They have those countless hours now to fill instead of practice. What has resulted from those countless hours?
KBA Meet the Team Night
As the 2010 baseball season gets underway, varsity baseball coach, Bob Ford, decided to do the annual Kenston Baseball Association(KBA) Meet the Team Night. Meet the Team Night consists of all the KBA travel teams, freshman, jv, and varsity teams coming together for a recognition ceremony. All the players wear their team's designated jersey during the program. In this ceremony the coaches from each team take the microphone and introduce each individual player on his team. This is a great way to recognize all the players in the program and to see the new talent coming up through the program.
Dedicated Players
The girl's tennis team has been utilizing this off season to kick their game up a notch by playing lots and lots of tennis. This year, more than ever, the girls need to improve their skills and face the challenge of losing three valuable players on the team. Nicole Kennedy, Alli Wengryniuk, and Courtney Bryant are seniors who will be graduating this year and no longer be playing on the Kenston tennis team. Nicole said, "I am very sad not to be playing on the team with these girls next year, but I will always be one of the team's biggest fans!" The team is looking for girls to step up and fill these spots in order to maintain their current success record. Many upcoming freshmen, such as Kendall Althans, are taking an initiative to play as much tennis before the fall season as possible, with hopes of making varsity next year.
Great Year Wrestlers
It's always a sad day when the season is done for a sport. The Bomber Wrestlers had a great year of hard work and dedication for the sport. Making it all the way to the state tournament was Jake Kazimir, Mike Braun, and Tre Smith (alternates were Ben Kazimir and Andrew Sawayda). Actually placing in the tournament was senior Jake Kazimir (4th place) and junior Tre Smith (5th place). Now the wrestlers are already looking forward to next year where they hope to do even better.
Countdown to First Pitch!
The much anticipated official start of the baseball workouts start Monday the 22nd after a long off-season of training. Pitchers and catchers report today for the first time since the season commenced last May when the team finished with a disappointing 10-13 record. This season’s team is going to have a whole new look though with all the new players and coaches coming in.
Attention Boys Soccer Players!
Attention Boys Soccer Players, there is practice every Thursday. Practice will usually be located at Timmons School from 3:30 to 5:00. This is for grades 8-11 so upcoming freshmen should be coming. It is not mandatory but it's lots of fun so please come. We play on the gym court in the back and we need more kids! "It's a blast of fun for all to enjoy," said Tyler Fodor, a freshman on the Kenston Soccer team.
Kenston Bombers vs. Tallmadge
The Kenston Boy's Basketball Team has seized the CVC with an 11-1 CVC record and an overall record of 17-3, finishing the season on a 10 game winning streak. The Bombers have significant victories over Hawken, Solon, Walsh Jesuit, and Chagrin Falls. Throughout the season the team has picked up the defensive and offensive intensity resulting in a significant improvement in the point differential between the first time they played a team to the second time. For example, the team played Orange during its season opener and won by 3 points. 11 games later when Orange came to Kenston for revenge, the Bombers won 59-28 in a 29 point rout, which in the big picture is 26 points more then they won by the first time. The team has matured and fallen into their style of play on offense and on defense as they began to stack up the wins throughout the season.
