Youth footballers turned out in force last
week for the Shelton Youth Football Skills
Clinic.
Between 45 and 50 first- through eighth-
graders hit the field at Oakland Bay Junior
High under the direction of Shelton High
School head football coach Matt Hinkle, as-
sistant coach James Sobotka and Highclimber
football players.
"There was a broad difference in ability,"
Hinkle said. "The ,key was working on offen-
sive and defensive skills with the kids. A little
agility work was included."
Hinkle said Sobotka has run the camp for
the last three or four years.
"He got the kids organized and they did a
great job," Hinkle said. "James does a tremen-
dous job of instilling skills in kids."
Sobotka's work with the children combined
with the large number of children turning out
for the camp made it a success, Hinkle said.
"We saw some individual skill and athletic
ability and we're excited for the future," he
said.
In regards to the future of the Highclimber
football program, Hinkle said the team attend-
ed camp July 15-19 at Wenatchee High School.
,Summer camp went very well with 15
schools attending," Hinkle said. "We've gone to
this camp for a few years now. The l~ids had a
good time and enjoyed themselves."
Fall football practices begin at 10 a.m. on
Aug. 15. Players must receive office clearance
to play by Aug. 13, however.
Finally, the team is scheduled to attend an-
other camp Aug. 15-19 at Camp Nahcotta.

Golf tournaments an
all-around good time
Golf tournaments
seem to be all the
rage lately with lo-
cal organizations and I can
see why.
These tournaments
bring people out to the
local golf courses, thus
supporting local business.
They bring in money for
organizations that help
Mason County residents
and sometimes their pets.
Finally, they're just
fun. The weather has been
nice lately, with sunny
skies and very little wind.
The lightning and thun-
derstorms seem to have
passed us by and though
mornings are on the cloudy
side, rain has been mini-
mal at best lately.
I've briefly attended
a couple of these tourna-
ments and have looked in
to the rest of them and I
must say that I'm proud
of Mason County for doing
what it can to help itself.
Times are tough and
golf can be expensive, but
not one of the organizers
of any of the local tourna-
ments has told me that
they had problems getting
people to participate in or
sponsor their tournament.
Out on the courses I see
smiling faces, joking man-
nerisms and sometimes
some athletic talent. Play-
ing well in a fundraiser
tournament is never what
it's about and I think the
participators of these recent
ones on-
derstand
that. Ev-

By EMILY goal to
HANSON have fun
while sup-
porting a
charity or non-profit organi-
zation.
Seeing all this good
will on the courses almost
makes me ~vant to play golf.
I don't think there are
any more fundraiser tour-
naments scheduled for this
summer, but if you hear
about one, think a little
harder about participating.
I know times are tough
and everybody's wallet is
thinner than it should be,
but these tournaments are
sometimes the only fund-
raisers these organizations
do and they could use all
the help they can get.
