Winning Ways (FYI):Eating on the Run Thursday, March 25, 2004 By Gregory "Graig" White My hat is off to Evelyn Tribole, she has written a book on food choices and how to make better ones that is easy and fun to read. When I say fun, I mean that this is a book that a lot of high school athletes can read and be able to comprehend. Evelyn is a registered dietician who also practices privately. She has appeared on "Good Morning America" and is currently the nutritionist for Lifetimetv.com. And has even qualified for the Olympic marathon trials in 1984. It is her premise that America's obesity epidemic is caused mainly by poor food choices and portions that are too large. |

College Softball: Monday, March 22, 2004 By Mike Ballard Freshman catcher Maureen Baney and senior designated hitter Mike Carlino tore the cover off the ball during their spring break trips as they stretched their hitting streaks to 12 and 11 games, respectively. Baney hit .458 (11-for-24) during the week as the Lady Raptors won all eight games at the Florida Coast Spring Training Camp. A rare left-handed catcher, Baney also has been outstanding behind the plate for the 11-1 Lady Raptors, gunning down all four runners who attempted to steal on her, and handling a pitching staff which has posted a 0.46 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 75-1/3 innings. |
