TURNOVERS

by Alan B. Gibson

Local sports aplenty – for a few more weeks

This time of year is somewhat of an “in-between” time usually for sports news, with the exception of the action that goes on practically daily at the Clinton County High School spring sports complex.

Bat Dawgs, Lady Bat Dawgs and Racket Dawgs are on the fields/courts on a daily basis, either home or away, and with the favorable weather we’ve had this spring, there has been plenty of games and matches and few rain-outs.

The Bat Dawgs are slated to host Russell County this Thursday in a game set to get underway at 5:00 p.m. while at the same time, our Lady Bat Dawgs will be playing host to Cumberland County. That match-up is set to begin at 5:30 p.m.

Over on the tennis courts, the Racket Dawgs will be hosting Greenwood on Thursday, both boys and girls, and on Saturday, the boys play host to Casey County.

Also of interest to local high school sports supporters, a couple of fundraising events are in the near future – both of which will benefit CCHS athletics.

This Saturday, April 21, the Clinton County Golf Boosters will be hosting the “Fore The Kids” golf scramble. The four-person tourney will be played at 76 Falls Country Club beginning at 9:00 a.m. and includes a $50 entry fee.

The event is a blind draw event and more information or to sign-up, contact Kenny Stinson at 387-8355.

The second fundraising event coming up on the calendar is the “Dawg Walk-Run” that is scheduled for a week from Saturday on April 28.

Benefiting the Clinton County High School Volley Dawgs, the Run/Walk gets underway at the high school at 8:00 a.m., and has a $15 entry fee with all runners being given a T-shirt. Sign-ups begin that morning at 7:00 a.m.
