The Spring Sports are starting, or have started for some.
Courtney Dosa [Softball (LHS)]
A power hitter for the Braves last season, Courtney takes her game to Jefferson (Mo.) [Junior] College this year. Look for #22 to make an impact for the Vikings as they open play with a doubleheader vs. Lindenwood University at St. Charles, Mo. on Tues, Feb. 24 (2:00 pm), before taking on four opponents in the Evangel Early Bird Tournament on the 27th & 28th.
Michael Coe [Track (CHS)]
The junior at Cal-Berkeley has only participated in one of the teams three meets this season, posting a NCAA automatic qualifying time (7:48.o5) in his only race, the 3000 meters, and finishing 2nd to the phenom- German Fernandez. The next meet, the MPSF Indoor Championships, will be on the 27-28 February 2009.
Julia Heath [Golf (LHS)]
It was a tough spring opener for Julia at the 2009 Braveheart Classic scheduled for 9-10 February 2009. First the tournament was reduced to 18 holes after Monday’s rainout and tee times were delayed two hours Tuesday because of frost conditions. Then she had one of her worst rounds as a Mustang - an 85. That tied her for 53rd (of 80) overall, and was fifth placer for Cal-Poly. The event was hosted by UC Riverside at Oak Valley Golf Club.
But the Winter Sports aren't all over yet.
Geoff West/Jason West [Baketball (CHS)]
The U of Mary [6-19, 4-14 Northern Sun] Mens Basketball unit certainly like close games - in the 12 games since January 13th they have gone 3-9, but have played 4 overtime games (1-3) and 6 others that were decided by 6 points or less (2-4). Two of the losses during the streak were by one point on the road. Those last three words are very significant because the team is 6-5 at home this season - but 0-14 a opponents or neutral sites. They play at home on Wednesday (25th) and away on the 28th.
Geoff (a senior) has played in 24 games with 17 starts, while little brother Jason has been the usual replacement in the starting spot (12). Geoff is averaging 14.1 ppg. & Jason 8.0 ppg. . Click on the link below for complete stats this year.
Joel Smith [Basketball (LHS)]
Playing his final year of collegiate ball at Chaminade Univ. [13-9, 7-4 Conf.]while working on his Masters Degree, Joel, a guard, has performed at a very high level. Starting 21 of 22 games, he has averaged 14.6 ppg (15.0 in conf.), while leading the team in steals and blocks. He is also 2nd in rebounds.
Four of the five remaining regular season games for the team (through 6 March 09) are at home where they are 7-2.
Also Lydell Sargeant is at the NFL Combine this week.
