When I think May, I think fresh.
The air is fresh. The pristine green grass is fresh. The burgers,
steaks and shish kabobs coming off the grill are fresh.
What great thoughts, right? Well, here at HSSTM, we think so.
In this month’s issue, we did our best to be fresh. We’re trying some new
things in the pages ahead, just like most issues as we learn and grow, but this one a
little bit more than most.
Perhaps you noticed when you picked up this copy, but one area getting a
new look is the cover (quick, if you didn’t notice, take one more peek). For the first
13 issues of this publication, we went with more of a photo shoot/portrait type of
look. Just to throw a change-up (no pun intended), we’re pleased to finally feature
a game action shot on our cover. What do you think? Feel free to let us know by
e-mailing letters.centralindiana@hsstm.com. We’re hoping that action shots on the
cover become more a part of our repertoire as we move forward.
Another fresh perspective this May can be seen in our Features section,
where we’re delighted to highlight incredible student-athletes from two schools
that have yet to be covered in these pages – Waldron and Eminence. Starting on
page 46, you’ll see and read about “Miss Everything” at Waldron, the one and only
Sharon Jackson. And the following feature, begining on page 50, we are pleased
to introduce one of the most polite and determined young ladies we have come
across since the start – Eminence’s Dani Merrick.
Speaking of Merrick, one of the last noticeably fresh things we have to offer
this month is shining some light on a few young faces around our area. We don’t
typically devote a lot of space to freshmen in this magazine, simply because there
are so many deserving upperclassmen that won’t be competing much longer, but
the stories of Merrick and Patrick Rodgers, a freshman golfer at Avon, were too
good to pass up.
As you flip the pages, you will also see pieces on Hamilton Southeastern
three-sport queen Brett Williams, a racing story (this is May in Indy, come on)
written by the legendary Derek Daly and much, much more. Enjoy the fresh
outlook this spring, get outside and support our local high school athletes.
