I): It stvmceju77hotmatl.com The Dixie College baseball got their win over season rolling with an Yavapai, Anz., Monday, Feb. 7. Dixie will start their home games this week with the Southern Utah Chiropractors Association tournament. Their first game is on Wednesday, Feb. 9, at 4 p.m. at Hurst Field against archrival Snow College. The Rebels are currently ranked ninth in the nation. Last year, Dixie spent most of die time ranked No. 2. Dixie will return with several key players from last years squad. Brandon Lyon and Chris Martinez will be the strength of the pitching staff. Also returning is Dallas Pollaro, who is an excellent hitter. A year ago, the Rebels won 50 games before dropping two in the Scenic West Athletic Conference tournament at Hurst Field. The two losses prevented Dixie from advancing to the Junior College (JUCO) World Senes in Grand Junction, Colo. The Rebels have been to the JUCO World Series on a couple of occasions in the last few years, and this squad should have just as good of a chance as any other baseball team in recent history. ill It Vincent 8-- 1 hAANrAd &A$tf! fyW Up in the air H a hard way. Some of Dixies athletes, however, are learning more important lessons the hard way. In the past two weeks, a combined total of seven participants from the mens basketball and cheerleading squad have been suspended for various infractions. One basketball player, Anthony Greenup, is no longer with the team after breaking team rules, according to Dixie College athletic director Dexter Irvin. Two other players were suspended for last weekend's games against Eastern Utah and Colorado Northwestern for also breaking team rules. A basketball player and three cheerleaders were suspended for the games against Southern Idaho and Treasure Valley, Ore. The four were also cited for breaking team rules, according to Irvin. Irvin declined fur- ther comment. Ultimately, Coach Kidder and the administration have established rules, and players are expected to live up to those rules or pay the consequences, said Irvin. What we are here to do as administrators is to help young people leant that there are consequences for their decisions. If we dont do that, then were negligent in our responsibility. All of these suspensions, however, should not reflect negatively on the athletic department as a whole. This past year has not only seen the athletes at Dixie College be successful on the field, but they have also, for the most part, been successful off the field. We have outstanding young people in our program who go to class and do a great job, said Irvin. Its easy to focus on those who make mistakes and neglect those who dont, but they deserve to be commended for staying on task.
