Spring sports unthaw, set sights high

Spring sports athletes have been just about everywhere lately. They’re jogging in the halls, putting in the library, throwing in the gym and catching tennis balls in the cafeteria. They’re anywhere the coaches can find room for them.

March in Jefferson County is not an easy time to get the spring sports season rolling. There’s snow on the tennis courts and the track, and there’s no golf course, either. Coaches have to improvise, and that’s exactly what they’re doing. The golf team practices putting in the library while the track and tennis teams share available gym space.

There may be obstacles, but Jefferson High’s spring coaches are finding a way to get the athletes prepared. And, as has been the case in previous years, their expectations remain high with all three sports aspiring to compete at state.
