YMCA of Calhoun County’s Tiger Shark Swim Team swimmer, Patrick Williams, made qualifying times to compete in the YMCA National Long Course Championships in College Park, Md., Aug. 1-4.
Patrick is 17 years old and lives in Talladega.

As the young swimmers, aged 5 and older, watch Waverly Polak and Patrick Williams glide across the pool they dream of being Tiger Sharks.

Retiree Rick Steinkamp moved to Anniston 10 years ago and looked around for a volleyball team to join.

There was none.

That changed five years ago when a group of area residents, age 50 and up, began playing in Oxford. They now play three times a week at Friendship Community Center.

When Score! began its journey in Oct. 2005, I knew it was a great print publication for the community. I also knew that it was ambitious to start a weekly tabloid devoted to youth and adult sports.

Beginning with the June 2 print edition of The Anniston Star and continuing through the summer months, Score! will now appear on the Community page in the Friday paper.

We plan to resume publication of the Score! insert this fall. Until then, you can continue to read news and blogs about your favorite community and recreational sports here at Score! online, which will continue to be updated regularly throughout the summer.

Game & events for the week of May 26-June 1, 2006.
