Spring sports

Now that spring is on the verge, many sports are finally starting up once more. Baseball, softball, tennis and track. Baseball cuts around 6-7 each year and have about 25 people that actually make the team. One of the players that have been playing for many years before high school league, thinks this season will be a very good and well played season. He thinks the team will go very far and have a good win:loss ratio. Many of the high school kids are very excited for track season for many reasons, the 3 great coaches, the wide selection of events, and the overall atmosphere of the sport. Each kid can find an event that they are best at and then train with one of the coaches to improve and perfect that event. There has been a ton of successful track participants from this school is previous years that have made it farther than districts.. Some kids may be good at multiple and they can compete in each one. Track is easy for kids to find a sport they are good at if they don’t like any others offered. This year will be the first year of a boys tennis team, each year the girls have a very well played season and now any boy who wants to play as well has the chance to. Softball is off to a good start as well with many good freshman coming up to the team, a few may be able to claim a spot on varsity due to their skills they offer to the team.

Swim team 2017 ovacs

Beaver Local boys swim team recap
The 2016 Beaver Local swim team, also known as the best, successful, hardworking, and fun team of our area, had a pretty great season so far.
The beginning of the season was great for the guys, they have almost been undefeated this whole season. At the start they had an abundance of new swimmers who had no clue on how to swim, and weren’t as fast as previous members, but with training from our hard working and dedicated coaches, they turned out mighty fine. Their coaches provided the necessary yardage as well as proper technique instructions for each swimmer’s stroke, turns, and dives.
For instance, Sam Brothers, a sophomore who has never swam before, is now looking at a spot in our boys 200 free relay due to hopping in the water with swimmers that have been swimming for up to 11 years. The coaches, along with other members of the team, corrected his stroke. He went from a mid 30 50 free to now a 25 50 free! Drew Mccoy is the only senior man and has worked very hard with his focus on becoming a better swimmer in hopes to achieve better times. So far, he has succeeded by having one of the fastest 100 free and fastest 50 free times

This season so far, the boys’ 200 medley relay broke their previous time of 1.56 with a time of 1:52. Corey Snow, a junior, broke his breaststroke record once more, for the second year in a row. The girls’ team also defeated their 400 free relay record! Josh Littleton broke the school’s record at a 1:02, and everyone has hopes of breaking theirs once more at the sectional and district meets. At OVACs, the boys medley got podium for 3rd place out of 25 teams, and at sectionals are seated high as well.
