West Hoke had exciting soccer week
By Hal Nunn
Sports writer
Last week was exciting for West
Hoke Middle soccer. Both the girls
and boys team achieved victories
against Sycamore Lane, but were not
so fortunate against Hamlet later in
the week.
In the first girls’ game, Jessica
Hendrix scored all four goals to lead
West Hoke to the win against Sy
camore Lane 4-0. Jamie Stark (West
Hoke goalie) kept her scoreless streak
in tact against Sycamore Lane includ
ing stopping one penalty kick. Coach
James 1 lorwath said, Ithe girls played
solid defense which rarely allowed
opponents in the box, our midfielders
played outstanding setting up Jessica
for all of her goals.? When the girls
played Hamlet they ran intooneofthe
toughest defenses in the league.
Michelle Nolte scored West Hokei's
only goal, which was not enough to
hold off Hamlet in the 2-1 loss.
The boys defeated Sycamore Lane
4-0 as well. Yamil Arce had two goals
with JesusGuerrero and Jake Johnson
scoring one apiece. Justin Craig had
three saves in the game at goalie.
Coach James Horwath said, “1 think
the team is starting to gel, the shots we
took on goal were quality shots. 1 am
proudof the way they have improved.”
In the game against Hamlet the West
Hoke boys tied Hamlet 3-3. Joshua
Wright, Jesus Guerrero and Carlos
Bonfil each had one goal.

Bucks blow out Westover
By Hai. Nunn
Sports writer
The Moke Nigh Varsity Bucks
baseball team came away with a big
win over Westover last Tuesday night
in a 10-0 rout in five innings. Matt
Jacobs and James Harris combined
for the shutout with Jacobs pitching
four innings registering a strikeout
per inning and Harris getting one
strikeout in one inning.
“The team played great defense
with no errors,” said Coach Gary
Brigmanofthe win. I eft fielder Brian
Stephens went 2 for 3 with a 3 run
homerun in the fourth inning. Javon
Johnson went 3 for 3 vvith 3 R Bl’s and
CJ Gaddis went 2 for 3 with a double
and I RBI.
In the Friday night game against
Pinecrest, the Bucks couldn’t catch a
cold on the ball field. With 6 errors in
the game the Bucks allowed enough
unearned runs to let Pinecrest run
away with the win 10-4.
‘‘We played sloppy defense in this
game. I'm not sure if it was the lights
on the field or the drizzle of the rain
that caused us to play so sloppy,”
Coach Brigman said. The one high
light of the game was Danna Goins
hitting 2 for 2 with one double. The
Varsity Bucks play away this FYiday
night against Scotland County at 7
p.m.

An article in Rii)uu'r\ Worhl magazine.
"Brrnc Density in l•‘e^lale Runners, revetils that
running can be beneficial in curbing
ostcopiiriisis, or bone deterioration. The study
followed IR2 female runners to evaluate running
and its relation to osteoporosis. Ninety-two
percent of the participants tested at or above
normal bone mineral density values.
Doctors of Chiropractic, long known for
their osteoporosis cxpcriisc, welcome these
rc.sults as a way to prevent this debilitating
di.scasc. They caution, however, that you should
gel a chiropractic exam before beginning to run.
Starting this routine with spinal suhluxations can
increase abnormal joint function in the spine,
pelvis, hips or feel. 'I'his can cause pain, muscle
spasms and joint inflammation, all of which
could further lead to tcndlnilis, sciatica,
backaches and neck pain.
The chiropraclor will also Iraik at your fool
