Racquetball gains popularity
Oct. 13, 2006 Sports come in many forms. Heather played with a racquet in high school, but on the tennis court. Racquetball, played indoors, is a skilled game and many students were starting to get involved. |
Tommies gain momentum
Oct. 19, 2007 This story came at a good time: When the football team won its only two games of the season. Heather wanted to recap the highlights halfway through the year. The players were all very good to talk to for the story. |
