WO-S track team receives state honor Van Wade The Orange Leader AUSTIN — Honors keep racing in for the West Orange-Stark boys Class 3A state track champions. On Wednesday the squad received a certificate from Governor Rick Perry at the Capital at State Champions Day. Mustang James Haynes was the only Mustang that could make the trip and he gladly accepted that honor. Haynes was the anchor leg on the 400-meter relay team made up of Trey Franks, Philip Jones and Josh Gloston. Haynes was joined by head track coach Toby Foreman, principal Paul Hardin and Superintendent O. Taylor Collins, along with WO-S Journalism teacher Meri Elen Jacobs and fellow classmate Shonnalee Jacobs and several other supporters. The 400-meter relay squad captured gold, running a season-best 41.31 at the Class 3A State Meet June 6. Franks also won a gold medal in the 100 meters, clocking in at 10.36. Jones was golden in the 110-meter hurdles, turning in a career-best 14.21. Also, the 800-meter relay unit consisting of Haynes, Frnaks, Gloston and Ed Ivory claimed silver, running a season-best 1:27.02. The state champions are not done yet. On Saturday, July 18 the Orange community will be honoring both the WO-S boys and girls track teams at 6 p.m. at the WO-S High School Cafeteria. The entire public is invited. Guest speakers at the event will include Wayne Sparrow and Coach Mark Foreman.

LC-M's Reed all set for Junior Olympics Van Wade The Orange Leader LITTLE CYPRESS — To say that Little Cypress-Mauriceville freshman Hayden Reed had a whirlwind freshman track season would be a vast understatement. As a ninth grader last year, Reed proved that his future was now and his future looks brighter each and every day throwing both the shot put and discus. Reed turned some heads as a true freshman last track season as he stormed to regionals in both events after shining at the District 20-4A Track & Field Championships. Well, the sophomore-to-be hasn’t rested much since. Last week at the Region XII Junior Olympic Championships at the Barnett Complex in Houston, Reed placed third in both events to advance to the National Junior Olympics, which will be held in North Carolina July 28-Aug. 2. “I’m thrilled to go to such a big meet,†said Reed. “It’s like my dreams came through. I felt really good at the regional meet and I’m looking for bigger things at Nationals.†Reed, who just turned 15 in April, tossed the shot put 50 feet, 8 inches to qualify for Nationals and hurled the discus 145-8. “I just want to keep improving,†said Reed. “The more work I put in, the better my marks are. It’s just something I love to do.†Reed never felt intimidated when he attempted to make the Bear varsity track team. “At first people were acting like ‘Who is this kid,’†said Reed. “I always threw pretty well in middle school but I don’t think many of the coaches realized that in high school. I got some pretty nice throws in that first practice and made the varsity squad and just kept getting better during the season.†Now its off to North Carolina State University at the end of month for Nationals. “My family and I are going to just go up there and have some fun before school starts,†said Reed. “I’m going to give it my best and just look to improve each time I compete. Then its back home and getting ready for football practice. That’s something I’m excited about and so are all of my teammates.†Joining Reed in North Carolina will be West Orange-Stark senior-to-be “speed demon†Trey Franks. Franks won both of his events in Houston last week, capturing the 100 meters in 10.45 seconds while also winning the 200 meters in 21.76.

Kurt Busch, Johnson trade paint, words Associated Press JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson traded paint. It might be awhile until they exchange pleasantries. Busch was fuming with Johnson after two of NASCAR's top stars got into some late-race bumping Saturday night at Chicagoland Speedway that left each of them wondering if one has a problem with the other. Johnson, though, seemed more ready to move on and let the incident slide. Busch might still be upset when the Sprint Cup series picks up July 26 at Indianapolis. Johnson had lost his lead to Denny Hamlin late in the race and fell back into three-wide racing with Busch and Jeff Gordon. Gordon appeared to get under Johnson, and the three-time defending Cup champion's No. 48 Chevrolet got loose and made contact with Busch. Angry at the contact, former champion Busch appeared to deliberately turn into Johnson. Their cars connected, causing a spark of excitement in a 400-mile race that Mark Martin won in mostly dominating fashion. "The No. 2 (Busch) and I touched and he bodyslammed me after that," Johnson said. Busch and Johnson also spun together and tangled at Sonoma, perhaps one reason for Busch's ill feelings. Johnson slid into Busch and later apologized. Another reason could be while Johnson salvaged an eighth-place finish after seemingly having the race won until Hamlin caused him to lose control, Busch fell all the way to 17th. "It looked like it was pretty crazy up there, but it worked good for me," said Gordon, who ended strong with a runner-up finish. Busch said he was starting to lose faith in Johnson's "ability to be a three-time champion on the track." "A couple of runs spoiled by the 48 car," Busch said. "I'm not digging it." Johnson claimed Busch was coming again to intentionally tag him for a second time. "He's one of those guys that his temper can get away from him," Johnson said. "When he first hit me it was like, all right man, this is racing. This isn't necessary. And then he backed off." The bumping was just part of racing and Johnson seemed perplexed about the steady line of questioning after the race. Johnson said he was willing to let it go unless Busch was still really angry at him after a cooling down period. "The good thing is each week we end up running into one another again and talking at driver intros or something," Johnson said. "It never fails." Johnson did refuse to blame Busch for costing him the victory. After all, the 50-year-old Martin had the car to beat all night long and led 195 of the 267 laps. Martin and Gordon made it a 1-2 finish for Hendrick Motorsports — and made a Colorado couple $1 million richer. It was part of a promotion run by LifeLock, the title sponsor for the June race in Michigan and Saturday night's race at Chicagoland. Donna and Richard Musgrave correctly predicted Martin and Gordon, in any order, would finish 1-2 at Michigan, earning them the trip to Joliet, Ill. to see if they could repeat the feat. If Martin and Gordon both finished in the top two again, the Musgraves would win the life-changing payout. Martin won, Gordon was second and the Musgraves went home to New Castle, Colo., to celebrate. Certainly they went home happier than Busch and Johnson.

Tough to say. Nederland will be good as will the Thompson Defense.
