Congrats to WHS Cheerleader Kellie Kemper!
At their recent UCA Summer Camp, the "Pin It Forward" award was presented to Kellie! This award goes to an all American cheerleader that displays good leadership, positive attitude, and exceptional sportsmanship. WHS is so proud that UCA Staff member, Maggie, picked Kellie Kemper for this award! Way to go Kellie!!
Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) was founded in 1974 by Jeff Webb to provide high quality educational training for college and high school cheerleaders through summer camps and clinics on college campuses.
During its first couple of years, the company literally operated out of Jeff’s apartment in Memphis, Tennessee. Instructors were hired from college squads and 4000 students attended Varsity’s 24 camps in the Midwest and the South during the summer of 1975.
During the next several years, UCA began to rapidly expand as their reputation for outstanding instructional programs, and in particular the emphasis on cheerleading gymnastics, quickly spread.
UCA’s goal is to inspire leadership on and off the field. All of UCA’s material and programs are centrally focused on the traditional role of cheerleading. UCA believes that the primary purpose of a cheerleader is to support athletic programs and lead the crowd before and during games. Cheerleaders play an instrumental role in raising, leading and maintaining school spirit in and around their communities. In short, they are leaders in building general morale at their school!
More Babe Ruth Softball action, prior to the thunderstorms that rolled through late evening Thursday, out at Worden Park. In 10U, it was SUMNER FAMILY CARE vs BANK OF COMMERCE.

Action on all "3" fields at Worden Tuesday evening..on Field 1 it was 14U Softball with Wellington's Sumner Communication taking on Medicine Lodge in a scheduled double-header. Late in Game #1 Wellington trailed. On Field #2, 12U action with McComb PT hosting Anthony. Late in that game Anthony lead 14-3. On Field #3, 10U Sumner Family Care hosted Conway Springs 1 - no score available, but appeared to be lots of scoring for both squads! Action continues tonight at Worden, both Cal Ripken Baseball and Coach Pitch. Across town at Hibbs-Hooten Field, Home of Babe Ruth Baseball this summer and the past 60+ summers, it was Double-Header action for league leading BANKS who run-ruled ROTARY 12-2 in the opener (after losing to them last week 6-5) and then defeated the LIONS 9-6 in the nightcap. On the season each team records stand as: (Season, then Overall) BANKS (5-1) (7-2), ROTARY (3-2) (7-2), LIONS (0-5) (1-7). More action there on Thursday and more action next week on Tue / Wed / Thu for the 13-15 yo's. Next week's games will all be at 9th Street due to Sr. Babe Ruth and Heat action at Hibbs.

CAL RIPKEN BASEBALL @ WORDEN 061217
Many incoming 6th graders thru outgoing 8th graders gathered Sunday evening at WFAC for the first of two SPLASH BASHES this summer...another one coming up in July. The two hour after sunset event features plenty of fun swimming with your friends, eating pizza and just enjoying summer and all it has to offer, especially when your 12-14 yo's! Looks like everyone had a great time - the temps are going to climb this week, all the more reason to spend those HOT days in the water at WFAC - opens daily at 1PM!
It was billed as a potential great game and that's exactly how it turned out in the 6-5 Rotary victory over the Banks in 13-15yo Babe Ruth action down at Hibbs-Hooten on Thursday evening. Going in, both had just 1 loss, to each other. After at least "9" pitchers took to the mound, a game, full of multiple, multiple hits for both teams, numerous stranded runners (Rotary stranded 3 at least twice!) and a controversial call here and there, the boys in RED, that's ROTARY RED, emerged the victor. Beautiful night for baseball, low temps (for this time of year), a slight breeze and some cloud cover early on. Hibbs-Hooten, home of Babe Ruth Baseball since 1955 lived up to that billing Thursday night. Congrats to both teams for a fun night! Game Action pics below! The pic above is of Banks catcher Malachi Macias making an awesome pop-up catch behind the plate and near the stands - sequential pics of this great catch are in the gallery! Nice Job Malachi!

Baseball at Worden Park continued on Wednesday evening, with 9-10 Cal Ripken action. Opening up the evening was a tight, extra inning battle between Bank of Commerce and Goodrum Auto Body...when all the dust settled, final score BofC 2 Goodrum 1. In the nightcap, Grene Vision topped Brownlee Heating & Air, final score 12-0. Lots of pics from both games...below.
Mill Creek's Claire Ginter insures the run with a head-first slide!
Softball at Worden Park continued on Tuesday evening, in 10U action it was Mill Creek vs Sumner Co. Family Care with Mill Creek pulling out the 20-17 victory! Over on Field #1, Medicine Lodge and McComb, PT in 12U action went at it - final score pending but ML was leading halfway through. Many action pics from both FIELDS - more diamond action at Worden tonight with Coach-Pitch and 9-10 yo Cal Ripken Baseball. Play Ball!!
Baseball action picked back up at Worden Park Monday evening with activity on every field...9-10 and 11-12 Cal Ripken games on Fields #2 and #1 respectively, plus "Coach-Pitch" on Field #3 throughout the evening. In the 9-10 action, Bank of Commerce with a 20-0 shut out over Brownlee Heating & Air. Kudos to BofC's pitcher Tanner Kelly! On the other side of the sidewalk, a much closer battle between Wellington and Conway Springs' 11-12 yo's. Conway jumped out early on Wellington but the local boys battled back and with bases loaded and two outs, down 7-9 in the bottom of the 5th, Wellington popped out for the 3rd out - Conway Springs wins this nail-biter 9-7. Good ball play on both sides of the dash. Action continues tonight (Tuesday) @ both Worden (softball) and Hibbs-Hooten (Babe Ruth 13-15 yo's) so come out, over, up or down and enjoy the talents of the young.

2017 STATE CLAY TARGET WELLINGTON RESULTS
2017 STATE CLAY TARGET OVERALL RESULTS
Regular season action continued on Thursday for the 13-15 yo Babe Ruthers. It was the BANKS vs LIONS on the first day of JUNE 2017...there is just something about being at the baseball field on a nice summerish evening in Wellington...more should take advantage at both Hibbs-Hooten and Worden Park! The BANKS jumped out to an early 1st inning 5-0 lead but the LIONS came back with 4 runs of their own in the top of the 2nd but would never get closer. The BANKS' bats exploded and would prove to be too much for the LIONS in the end, final score BANKS 15 LIONS 7. After last weekend's KENNY ROADS Tournament, regular season for the 13-15 yo's began on Tuesday this week. The BANKS who lost to the ROTARY in the Kenny Roads Tournament redeemed themselves with a 10-2 win in Tuesday's nightcap. The early game Tuesday pitted the LIONS against the ROTARY as well, the ROTARY took care of business, winning 12-2. So after 1 week of regular season play, it's the BANKS @ 2-0, ROTARY @ 1-1 and LIONS @ 0-2. If you factor in the preseason tournament over Memorial Day weekend it's the BANKS @ 4-1, ROTARY @ 4-1 and the LIONS @ 1-4.

There was baseball action at Worden Park Wednesday evening after a brief rain/lightning delay. Wellington TECT was hosting Medicine Lodge #1 in 9-10 Cal Ripken Baseball action in what turned out to be a rather COOL evening with the showers and wind in the area. TECT battled hard but in the end it was Medicine Lodge 14 TECT 6. Pictured above is TECT's Christian Devine leaping over ML's catcher to score Wellington's first run of the game. A very competitive play by Christian and also the ML catcher!
