concentrate on academics first, then
sports. We have found in the past
that when athletes become seniors
and don't have the academic SAT
Wans, they end up going to a junior
college if they go to College at all.
"We began a program last year
called AAA Program which stands
for athletes and academics. Last
year we had over 50 kids participate
in the program. Some of the ones
who attended the program brought
their grades up from a D to a B in
their subjects.
"I believe it is beneficial for a
student and will help him or her in
academics. We held the class at
Kingston Green Recreation Center
last year with the help of Hansel
four sites this fall.

early this year because of a new
conditioning program we are begin
ning once at week beginning in Sep
