With five weeks of the semester put behind us, there have already been a lot of highs and lows in Sac State sports. Here are some that have caught my attention.

Lowlight

It may be football?s off-season, but I have to say that our “footbrawl” team is truly in mid-season shape.For those of you who haven?t kept up with the news lately, there are, locked away in a safe somewhere within the confines of Stingers bar, a list of 10 football players? names. These 10 upstanding young men have been eighty-sixed from the local night spot because of violent outbursts that have occurred throughout the last several months.

Highlight

The above-mentioned bad publicity may be seen as a black eye to those in Sac State?s Athletic Department, but it?s exactly the type of deviant, criminal behavior that will have XFL scouts foaming at the mouth to watch Sac State football games for years to come.

Lowlight

The men?s and women?s basketball teams have a combined 8-41 record.

Highlight

The gymnastics team seems to re-write the record books every time they step out on the mat and throw around the talcum powder. Last week Binta Coleman and Laura Goold set career highs on the vault, and the team?s scores are as high as they?ve ever been. Keep it up girls!

Lowlight

On more than one occasion, the women?s basketball team has had fewer than eight players on their active roster. Injuries have hit Carolyn Jenkins and company very hard this year.

Highlight

The track team saw five members take top 10 finishes in the Big Sky Indoor Championships this past weekend, including Shanita Bryant?s Sac State record of 20-00.50 in the long jump.

Lowlight

The men?s basketball team broke the Big Sky record for most consecutive, in-conference road losses with 35. It?s been a tough year for the Hornet hoopsters, and we wish them all the luck for the rest of the year, and I hope they will turn it around next season.

Highlight

Aurelio Jackson, the senior center fielder of the baseball team eclipsed the Sac State hit record formerly owned by Brandon Marshall. A.J.?s mark now stands at 176, and he is aiming towards 200.

There?s a lot that has gone on in Hornet sports this spring, and these things are only the tip of the iceberg, so get ready for more to come. Get your tickets, and show up early, it?s game time!
