Sweetwater got its base-ball season off to a roaring start here Monday, crushing San Angelo Lake View 11-0 in six innings.
The Mustangs were near-ly flawless in the three key areas against Lake View.
Ten different players ac-counted for their 12 hits and the 11 runs came from nine different players. Eight dif-ferent players had an RBI. The pitching held Lake View to one hit, a third-inning two-out single. The Mus-tangs were also errorless in the field.
Sweetwater High School will field a very experienced baseball team today when the Mustangs open their 2013 season with a 7 p.m. home game against San Angelo Lake View.
The JV team will also begin its season today against Lake View at 5 p.m.
Ten players who earned at least all-district honorable mention in 2012 are back for a Sweetwater team that narrowly missed getting to the playoffs last year.
Season openers: Sweetwater JV and var-sity host San Angelo Lake View at 5 and 7 p.m., respectively.
Sweetwater varsity and JV play Muleshoe at Tahoka at 5 and 7 p.m., respectively.
Class 1A, Division II girls regional quarterfinal: High-land vs. Water Valley, TBA.
Class 1A, Division II boys bi-district: Highland vs. Robert Lee, 8 p.m., Ballinger.

POST — The good start needed for Sweetwater to stay with the No. 8-ranked girls team in Class 3A failed to materialize on Friday.
Instead, Lubbock Cooper jumped out to a 13-0 lead over the Lady Mustangs be-fore they could score, and the lead ballooned from there as the Lady Pirates beat Sweetwater, 74-37.
So the Lady Mustangs' best season since 2005 — the last time they got to the playoffs — ends at 21-15.
Lubbock Cooper (30-4) will face Levelland — which upset No. 17 Wylie 42-37 in the nightcap of Friday's playoff doubleheader — in the regional quarterfinals.
Highland was a double winner Friday, as the girls advanced to the Class 1A, Division II regional quarterfinals by beating Zephyr while the boys knocked off Hermleigh for the No. 2 playoff seed in District 13-A, Division II.
The girls, who earned a bye for winning the 13-A title, defeated Zephyr 48-29 in an area playoff at Clyde.
Highland (28-4) was led by Sierra Allen, who had 16 points, and Hannah Allen, who scored 11. With the win, the Lady Hornets will take on Water Valley in the regional quarterfinals this week. The time, date and location of the playoff was not known at press time.
Vs. Big Spring: Big Spring 46, Sweetwater 36
Sweetwater scoring: Mike McCoy 13, Marquees Jenkins 8, Matthew Trevino 8, Jonathan Browning 4, Deshaun Williams 2, Michael Hazard 1.
Vs. Greenwood: Greenwood 45, Sweetwater 34
Sweetwater scoring: Mar-quees Jenkins 9, Trey Taylor 8, Mike McCoy 6, Deshaun Williams 3, Michael Hazard 2, Jay Lomas 2, Joe Ruiz 2, Matthew Trevino 2. Final Sweetwater JV boys records: 1-17 season, 1-9 district.
Vs. Big Spring: Big Spring 51, Sweetwater 39
The Women's Texas Golf Association has two needs-based $4,000 scholarships available for golf-loving girls of Texas who are en-tering or re-enrolling in college this fall. Skill level is not a determining factor.
The application deadline is April 30. Persons should visit the WTGA website womenstexasgolf.org or phone (972) 998-6052 for an application.
The winners of last year's WTGA scholarships were Gabriella Rangel of Seguin and Emily Champagne of San Angelo.
A total of four Blackwell athletes — senior Cody Shamblin and juniors Mason Magness, Jayden Jones and Brian Mink — have received academic all-state football recognition from the Texas Six-Man Coaches Associa-tion.
To qualify, athletes must be a junior or senior with an overall 90 or above average in all core subjects for the first two six-week grading periods.
It's taken eight years to get back to this point.
Now Sweetwater finds itself in a similar situa-tion to what it faced the last time a girls team ad-vanced to the Class 3A area basketball playoffs — a highly-ranked squad that will be heavily favored to end their season.
Back in 2005, the Lady Mustangs faced No. 1-ranked Canyon and lost 67-26. Today, they meet No. 8 Lubbock Cooper in the area round hoping for a much better result.
But they know they will have to play their best to pull off the upset.

I've made it pretty clear that I have pretty much no interest in seeing Virgil as a grown ass man in other topics. When in reality what I'd like to see more than anything is a more Milestone/Ultimate Spider-Man style adventure telling of Virgil throughout high school.
But that isn't exactly what this thread is about. Would anyone besides me like also to see a story of Static in his early years of college? I'm of the opinion Static should always be a young character, in his teens to early twenties at most. What could await Virgil after the headache that is high school is over?

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Excellent/meticulous Surgeon - Ann Arbor, MI
Dr. Sherick was referred to me by a good friend who also had a Breast Augumentation. After meeting him I felt confident not only in my decision to proceed with my procedure but with him and his staff.
5 out of 5 stars
Happy I Did It - Ann Arbor, MI
Dr. Sherick, his nurses and staff made the whole process as pleasant as possible, minimized my discomfort and provided personalized and prompt care afterwards. I think I look great and my family agrees.
57 Year Old - Breast Reduction Surgery - Ann Arbor, MI
Great doctor, very kind and understanding.
5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
45yrs Old, Toddler Twins, Diastasis Recti - Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation - Ann Arbor, MI
Dr. Sherick is truly amazing and I'm so happy I found him! I had interviewed another PS and chose Dr. Sherick for so many reasons. Dr Sherick has double the experience, continues to do more procedures each year, spent almost 2 hours with me at my consult to go through my 6 pages of questions (he should get an award for that) and has an incredible bedside manner. He said drains weren't necessary - bonus! He assured me that my final expectations were realistic. The other PS was not comfortable with my expectation of having my diastasis fixed to my expectations and only did two post op appointments. Dr. Sherick came to see me in the hospital the next day prior to my release, in addition to 1 week, 2 week and 6 week post op visits. In addition, his office set up in 3 post op massages in house. I love massage and heard it helps with healing/lymphatic drainage. I inquired the cost of the massages for budgeting purposes and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no charge for them! He suggested I consult with a hematologist (due to my fear of clotting) and offered an overnight stay in an hospital. It was so nice to have a nurse checking in on me all night and responding to my needs, while I enjoyed the thoughtful gift bag of high quality lotions, lip balm and gift card that his nurse had given to me prior to surgery. Dr. Sherick is an incredible PS. During your consult and follow up, you'll feel like you're with a close, wise friend who really wants the best for you.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Players keen on outdoor contest
Jets looking forward to game at stadium
NEWARK, N.J. -- Winnipeg Jets players and coaches are just as excited as their fans at the prospect of hosting an outdoor game at the new football stadium in 2016.
"It would be awesome. Good things keep happening to the city of Winnipeg and with that new football stadium getting built it would be a great place to play an outdoor game," said Jets veteran centre Jim Slater.
The Free Press reported Saturday the Jets are in negotiations with the NHL to host a Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field in March of 2016.
True North chairman Mark Chipman confirmed to the Free Press his organization is working with the league and both sides hope an announcement can be made shortly.
Chipman's profile within the league and its board of governors shot up during the lockout when he was invited to be part of a six-owner group to negotiate with the players' union.
With both sides confirming talks are ongoing, it's difficult to imagine a deal not happening. The NHL is also working on a Heritage Classic for another Canadian city, believed to be Vancouver, in 2014.
"You see the fans and the love for outdoor hockey on the rivers and all the outdoor rinks in the city. It would be a great experience for everyone," said Slater.
Twitter exploded with the news on Saturday afternoon and Jets fans immediately began speculating on an opponent for the Jets. Several fans hoped for a new franchise in Quebec City to be granted and for that team to skate outdoors with the Jets.
All Canadian teams received some votes, as did the Chicago Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild. Premier Greg Selinger has discussed the idea with Minnesota business leaders and he says they're receptive to the idea.
Investors Group Field seats just over 33,000 for football but capacity would be increased by 7,000 with temporary seating in the south end zone. The NHL needs over 40,000 in seating to make the event economically viable.
Organizing an outdoor game and putting a team through the unusual circumstances can be stressful on a franchise, but Jets coach Claude Noel welcomes the opportunity.
"It would be good and it would be interesting to see what the weather would be," said Noel. "But it would be really good to have a chance to have a game of that magnitude in Canada. For us to host it as well would be great."
Slater has some outdoor game experience.
"I played in one my first year of college. Michigan State vs. Michigan was the game that really got all of these outdoor games started," he said. "It was called the Cold War and it was in front of 74,000 people and it's probably one of the highlights of my career. It's a great experience."
Not many NHL teams, at the most four in any given season, get the opportunity to play in an outdoor game. Slater's contract expires in 2015 but he says he'd like to stick around and the outdoor game makes the prospect more attractive.
"I don't think the outdoor game is the only reason," said Slater. "I love playing in Winnipeg. There's lots that go into a contract and those decisions, but like I said, anyone who has a chance to play in an outdoor game should. It's pretty exciting."

Study: McHale had developed CTE
TAMPA, Fla. -- Researchers at Boston University have diagnosed an ex-NFL player who died last year as having had a degenerative brain condition similar to Alzheimer's disease that has been linked to repeated head trauma.Tom McHale, a nine-year NFL veteran who died in 2008 at the age of 45, was the sixth player examined by researchers connected with the Sports Legacy Institute for chronic traumatic encephalopathy -- and the sixth whose diagnosis was confirmed by a postmortem study of his brain. The Center for Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE) announced Tuesday that McHale was suffering from CTE when he died on May 25 at his Florida home. Police said the cause of death was an accidental overdose of oxycodone and cocaine, according to The New York Times.
NFL Brain Damage
Latest research indicates that damage may accumulate in the brain from repetitive head trauma, even if injuries are allowed to heal, Peter Keating writes. Story
Players in this year's Super Bowl were asked about their concerns for their long-term health. Pittsburgh's Hines Ward said it's a concern, but not an unexpected one.
"It's just a violent game," the star receiver said Tuesday during Super Bowl media day. "If you run into someone full speed with a head-to-head hit, something's bound to give. Unfortunately, it's your brain."
Ward's teammate, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, has suffered at least two concussions in NFL games and another in a motorcycle accident.
"I'm not going to think about it right now," Roethlisberger said. "I'm going to live this day to the fullest."
A doctor who conducted a postmortem autopsy of former Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Andre Waters, who shot himself to death at age 44, showed his brain tissue resembled that of an 85-year-old man and shared characteristics of early-stage Alzheimer's.In response to the study, the NFL said: "We support all research that would further the scientific and medical understanding of this injury. There continues to be considerable debate within the medical community on the precise long-term effects of concussions. We are currently funding an independent medical study of retired NFL players, which we hope will contribute to the overall understanding of this issue."
Pittsburgh free safety Ryan Clark doesn't remember the hit he put on Baltimore's Willis McGahee that knocked McGahee unconscious in the AFC Championship game. But he doesn't want the sport to be unfairly labeled.
"If they do anything else, we're not going to be able to tackle people," Clark said. "I'd like to see them stop talking about it on TV so much. It gets so much press when you see things like [his hit on McGahee]. People are beginning to believe it's a barbaric sport."The CSTE also announced that it discovered early evidence of CTE in the youngest case to date, an 18-year-old boy who suffered multiple concussions in high school football before his death. The boy was not named at his family's request. "I have 9- and 11-year old boys who are just beginning to play Pop Warner football," Lisa McHale said, according to the CSTE. "In light of Tom's situation and the findings on the high school football player with the initial evidence of CTE, I now question their involvement in a sport that had been so important in our lives." Other former NFL players diagnosed with CTE are former Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Webster, Terry Long and Justin Strzelczyk, along with Waters and John Grimsley. Long also committed suicide, while Strzelczyk led police on a 40-mile high-speed chase on the New York State Thruway before dying in a head-on collision. The CSTE also announced on Friday that a number of living former NFL players -- including Hall of Famers Joe DeLamielleure and Willie Wood -- have recently agreed to join three-time Super Bowl champion Ted Johnson and seven other former NFL players in donating their brains for study upon their deaths. Johnson revealed in 2007 that he has suffered from depression as a result of multiple concussions during his career. The new donors include three members of the NFL's "88 Plan," named for John Mackey, the former Baltimore Colts tight end who suffers from severe dementia.
