14A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, May 27, 2010 SPORTS Skaters shred Decatur ... ontinued from page 16A an Arlington-based, nonprofit organization that has been working to convince the city of Arlington to build a public skatepark. The organization was named after a 15-year-old who was hit and killed by a car while walking to an unauthorized skating spot. The organization continues to pressure the city to push the project forward. A few riders sponsored by Dallas-based Citystars Skateboards and Hype! Skateboards arrived to give a demonstration before the contest began. “I’d like to give special thanks to the riders who came out for a surprise demo with the Shredderz Team,” Reicheneker said. The Citystars and Hype! riders included Michael Tang, Kechaud Johnson and Ryan Strader. Hype! representative P.J. Thebeau and team manager Mike Crum also made an appearance. Crum is a former professional skateboarder. He’s appeared in the X-Games, and as recently as 2004 he was ranked seventh in the world in the vertical ramp competition.

Continued from page 16A 37 hits. “He did a real good job and improved every outing,” Leps said. “His record was not indicative of how he pitched. He kept us in a lot of tight games that we won late. He had multiple games of double-digit strikeouts.” Waldrep said he pitched with more confidence this season and had better control. “It was a good year,” he said. “Last year, I was not very accurate. This year, I got my curveball to work better and in for strikes.” Throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters was a strength for Waldrep throughout the season. “Every game we set goals, and one was getting ahead of hitters,” Leps said. “One game, he threw 16 firstpitch strikes.” In his final game against Burnet, Waldrep allowed just one earned run on two hits. He struck out nine and walked two. “I was mixing the ball up and threw a lot more curveballs,” Waldrep said. Leps said it was his best outing of the year. That complete-game victory capped a senior year in which Waldrep also helped the Bulls football team to the fourth round of the playoffs. The hard-hitting linebacker was named District 5-3A’s Co-Defensive MVP. “It could have been better, but I’m happy how it went,” Waldrep said about his senior year. He was contacted by a few schools about playing football, but he did not pursue them. Waldrep just wants to play baseball and get back to the mound as soon as possible. “I’m excited about playing,” Waldrep said. “I’m already missing baseball.” OUTDOORS Shooting to top Blauser wins three rifle contests On a trip over spring break, Nathan Blauser and his family met some members of the University of Wyoming rifle team. The chance meeting sparked the 12-year-old’s interest in the sport, and just three months later he is now a champion shooter. Blauser, of Aurora, won three first-place trophies in the novice class Saturday and Sunday at the 11th Annual Johnson County 4-H Shotgun Sports Fandango Buckle Shoot held in Fort Worth. It was the Chisholm Trail fifth-grader’s second competition. “It’s awesome,” Blauser said about shooting. “I enjoy it a lot. It’s a great bonding opportunity and a way to get to know people out of school.” Blauser had been to a skeet-shooting range with his father, Pat, in the past, but did not get serious about it until this spring. He now practices at least once per week. “We shoot about 50 to 75 rounds,” Blauser said. In last weekend’s competition, Blauser hit 63 of the 100 sporting clays he shot at. He connected on 17 of the 25 skeets, 15 of the 25 trap targets and 19 of the 30 Whizbang clay targets. Blauser said it’s a tough sport. “With the small clays, you’ve got to be right-on or you’re going to miss,” he said. Blauser, who practices with Parker County 4-H because Wise County does not have a shooting team, is planning to go to three shoots in June. He is hoping to stay in the sport and shoot one day in college. “I want to go to [Texas] A&M. They have a shooting team there,” Blauser said. TOP SHOT — Nathan Blauser of Aurora won a total of three trophies last weekend at the Johnson County 4-H shotgun contest in Fort Worth.
