Gators Baseball Looks Toward Future

By: By Bob Flynn (From VPCC.edu) Wins were few and far between for the Virginia Peninsula Community College baseball team this season. That doesn’t mean there weren’t successes. First, coach Shane Harrison was proud of his players’ efforts. “In a nutshell, I would describe the season as a gritty bunch of guys,” he said, noting his players battled numerous injuries and illnesses. “They bought in and stayed gritty the whole year.” In those times when the scoreboard wasn’t in their favor, Harrison preached taking “the scoreboard out of the equation and just play for pride,” which they did. Another highlight was their success on the basepaths. “One of our goals we set was to steal bags, and we did that,” he said. “We worked really hard all year on our leads and our timing to get the stolen bag.” The results proved that. The Gators led Region 10 with 124 stolen bases. They were caught just 20 times, an 86% success rate. Leading the way was Ryan Bevins, whose 25 stolen bases were tops i...

Athletic Trainers Keep Apprentices in Shipbuilding Shape

(From NNS Communications) Newport News Shipbuilding's Apprentice School is the home of many fine athletes who compete at the national level, in addition to maintaining a full workload and class schedule. Behind these athletes is a small team of athletic trainers – licensed health care professionals who prevent, diagnose and treat injuries and medical conditions. Athletic trainers provide care in schools, colleges, workplaces, clinics and professional sports. They are trained in injury prevention, emergency care and rehabilitation. March is National Athletic Training Month, and this year's theme is "Care You Can Count On." With the ever-increasing need for U.S. Navy ships, The Apprentice School athletes know that they can count on their athletic trainers to help mitigate and treat injuries associated with collegiate athletics. Tyler Killenbeck is one of the contracted athletic trainers who works with The Apprentice School under Sean Hanrahan (O22). "We help the ...
