    Skillbuilder


    WESCLIN VARSITY GIRLS AND BOYS SOCCER COACH Mark Lockowitz and his players put on a skills clinic for local youth league players this past Saturday at Trenton Park. Here, Lockowitz directs the youngsters in the proper technique for the next drill. Prior to the players' clinic, Lockowitz gave youth soccer coaches an instructional seminar to help them guide their teams this season.


    Excellent Painted Plywood


    THIS EXCELLENT PAINTED PLYWOOD cutout of a Wesclin soccer player decorates the front yard of real-life Wesclin sophomore Robert Robison, who plays for the Warriors. The wooden player, constructed and painted by Robison's grandfather, is nearly life size and features Rob's number and likeness. Wesclin's boys soccer team opens its season this weekend in the Metro Cup tournament in Belleville.


    Wesclin Fall Sports Underway

    Wesclin High School fall athletes have begun their respective seasons, with most of the early activity starting this weekend when the football team travels to Chester for a 7 p.m. opener; the soccer team competes in the Metro Cup tourney put on in Belleville by Metro East Lutheran High School; and the volleyball team heads for Marissa for their season-opening tourney.
