Journal photo by Emily Hanson By EMILY HANSON emi[y@masc~ncoz~nO,.co~n 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. FLYONTHESIDELINE 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- erybody truly seems to be out on the greens wLth the 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.
