TECH HIGH SCHOOL Hall of Fame 2019 HALL of FAME INDUCTION 2019 TECH HIGH SCHOOL Hall of Fame 2019 HALL OF FAME INDUCTION Tech High School, founded in 1917, is well known for its great athletic and activities tradition. In 1986, we decided it was time to begin to recognize the contributions and achievements of the individuals that have helped develop “Tiger Pride”! Through the formation of the Tech Hall of Fame, our community and school have been able to begin to accomplish this goal. Recognizing outstanding alumni not only gives us the opportu- nity to pay tribute to those who helped establish our traditions, but also gives our current students a knowledge of our school’s outstanding history- and a challenge to continue our traditions. Today, October 10, 2019, is our eighth induction to Tech’s Hall of Fame. On the following pages are the biographies of our 16 inductees along with their picture. A special thanks to the Hall of Fame Selection Committee and all who contributed to today’s induction. Although it is impossible to recognize everyone who has contributed, we especially want to recognize the efforts of the following people: Shelly Fruth (Ac- tivities Assistant), Dennis Voigt (Media), the Tech Alumni Asso- ciation, the Tech Captains/Leaders group, Tech’s custodial staff, Mayor Dave Kleis, and those listed on the program schedule on the next page. We also want to thank our former inductees whose contributions have made this special day possible.

    MEDIA AND LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS OF LATINOS IN BASEBALL AND BASEBALL FICTION by MIHIR D. PAREKH Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2015 Copyright © by Mihir Parekh 2015 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to my supervisor, Dr. William Arcé, whose knowledge and expertise in Latino studies were vital to this project. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Timothy Morris and Dr. James Warren, for the assistance they provided at all levels of this undertaking. Their wealth of knowledge in the realm of sport literature was invaluable. To my family: the gratitude I have for what you all have provided me cannot be expressed on this page alone. Without your love, encouragement, and support, I would not be where I am today. Thank you for all you have sacrificed for me.

Parekh, MA The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professors: William Arcé, Timothy Morris, James Warren The first chapter of this project looks at media representations of two Mexican- born baseball players—Fernando Valenzuela and Teodoro “Teddy” Higuera—pitchers who made their big league debuts in the 1980s and garnered significant attention due to their stellar play and ethnic backgrounds. Chapter one looks at U.S. media narratives of these Mexican baseball players and their focus on these foreign athletes’ bodies when presenting them the American public, arguing that 1980s U.S.

  • Maximising Ball Release Speed in Overhead Throwing Through Optimising Arm Segment Masses
    MAXIMISING BALL RELEASE SPEED IN OVERHEAD THROWING THROUGH OPTIMISING ARM SEGMENT MASSES A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Patrick Fasbender Department of Life Sciences, Brunel University London 28 September 2017 Abstract The tapering distribution of segment masses in the human arm helps in the generation of high ball release speeds in overarm throwing. However, the masses of the individual arm segments might not be optimal; arm segment masses could be optimised in order to improve throwing performance. The aim of this project was to identify and understand the optimal upper arm mass that results in the highest ball release speed in overarm throwing. The first study was a theoretical study, using a simple two-segment model of the arm to determine the optimal combination of arm segment masses that maximises ball release speed. This simplified throw was chosen to identify the basic mechanism causing changes in ball release speed with a heavier upper arm mass. The study identified that there is an optimal upper arm mass, but this optimum depends on the forearm mass and the shoulder torque. Furthermore, the study showed that a heavier forearm mass produces a lower ball release speed. An experimental approach was used in the second study to analyse the effect of additional upper arm mass on ball release speed and throwing mechanics in an overarm throw similar to that used by baseball pitchers. However, group analysis of the ball release speed did not reveal an optimal upper arm mass, and most of the kinematic, kinetic, and temporal variables were not affected by additional upper arm mass.

  • Here Are the Individual Members’ Bios Written at the Time of Induction
    Bishop Kelley High School Athletic Hall of Champions (formerly Athletic Hall of Fame) – Bios (updated thru the Class of 2019) Here are the individual members’ bios written at the time of Induction. The members are listed alphabetically. Their induction year is in parenthesis. Tresa Green Adams ’95 (2014) Tresa Green Adams ’95 set state records during her softball pitching career at Bishop Kelley and helped her team to four state tournament appearances, winning back-to-back titles in 1991 and 1992. She was the first player in Oklahoma fastpitch softball history to rack up 100 wins, 1,000 innings, and 1,000 strikeouts in a high school career. Under the coaching of Gordon Morgan, Tresa helped the Comets compile a record of 142 wins and 38 losses through her four years. Her college career was equally stellar. At the University of Tulsa, she set many national, state, and college records for pitching, strikeouts, and shutouts that still remain in the top ten. Her 44 appearances in the 1998 season still stands as a record at TU. Marshall Arp (2013) In 1970, Marshall Arp began and coached the first girls’ basketball team at Kelley. He also started the volleyball and softball teams. As a coach, President of the Booster Club and a perennial fan, Mr. Arp has cheered on the Comets for many years. Often, he has had a family member to root for on the team. Nancy ’73, Betsy ’75, Mary Ellen ’78, Katie ’81, Tom ’85, and his grandchildren have attended Bishop Kelley and played sports. Mr. Arp was also a high school athlete.

With this in mind, the Southern Lakes Conference has come to consensus on a plan for spectators at our athletic events. All schools are in agreement that for risk reduction measures for our student athletes, coaches, and communities, that the Southern Lakes Conference will play a conference only schedule in Football, Boys Soccer, Boys Volleyball, and Girls Volleyball, and additional games if the WIAA develops a postseason for the fall of 2020. The Southern Lakes Conference supports schools within the conference that choose at the local level to schedule non-conference events in Boys and Girls Cross Country, Girls Golf, Girls Swimming, and Girls Tennis, and additional games if the WIAA develops a postseason for the fall of 2020. Additionally, all coaches and event staff deemed to be essential, will be required to wear a mask in all settings while working for the conference schools, including events and practices held outside while student athletes are present. Boys/Girls Volleyball The plan is to allow two spectators for each athlete, both home and away, at each event. Each team will be issued passes for the athletes on their roster to be used for free entry at both home and away events.

  • Great Outing, Even Greater People in Sandy
    Whether pitching in Wrigley Field or Dodger Stadium, Sandy Koufax almost always got a fight from the Cubs. (Photos courtesy of the Leo Bauby Collection). Great outing, even greater people in Sandy Koufax perfecto against Chicago Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, September 3, 2015 (Second of a two-part series on the 50th anniversary of Sandy Koufax’s perfect game against the Cubs on Sept. 9, 1965 in what may have been the greatest pitching duel in history with Chicago lefty Bob Hendley.) On the surface, the Sandy Koufax perfect game is part of baseball mythology, Koufax’s fastball growing ever faster over the decades, the Cubs’ swings even more futile, the lone run scored even more fluky, the only hit in the game even more shaky. Oral history is the main conduit of its memories, and you know how baseball stories get exaggerated as time progresses. It might as well have taken place in the 19th Century, given how 15 years into the TV era — and with the dramatic expansion of network color telecasts beginning the next week — only three innings of halting home-movie film ex- ists (see accompanying story below). Three network-owned stations and four other inde- pendent VHF stations in Los Angeles, all with regular newscasts, declined to film the game despite the Dodgers’ position in the pennant race. The radio broadcast recordings were cobbled together. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] Statistically, the game was the greatest pitching duel Editor's note: in history. Koufax and Hendley took no-hitters into the seventh inning.

  • Candle Lighting Time Is 7:50 Sabbath Services Start at 9:30
    Candle lighting time is 7:50 Sabbath services start at 9:30 What do Danny Kravitz, Hank Greenberg, John Grabow, and Ike Davis have in common? They are all Jews who played for the Pirates There is a long standing stereotype that says that Jews can’t play sports, that they have brains, but no brawn. In 1907, Harvard president Charles Elliot said, “Jews are definitely inferior in stature and physical development.” A 1998 New York Times article referred to, “that reputedly rare species – the Jewish athlete.” Well, last week I was watching the Bucs play the Tigers at PNC Park, and there, on the Tigers bench, sat Manager Brad Ausmus, a Jew, and out at second base was an All Star by the name of Ian Kinsler, another Jew. And one of the greatest sluggers of all time, a former Tiger, and later in his career a Pittsburgh Pirate, Hank Greenberg, was also a Jew. Current Jewish players in MLB also include Ryan Braun of the Brewers, Ike Davis of the A’s, Scott Feldman of the Astros, Jason Marquis of the Reds, Craig Breslow of the Red Sox, Jason Kipnis of the Indians, Danny Valencia of the Blue Jays, Sam Fuld of the A’s, Ryan Lavarnway of the Orioles, and Joc Pederson of the Dodgers. So who were the best Jewish players ever? Let’s start with Sandy Koufax, perhaps the best left handed pitcher of all time. How good was Koufax? Well, the fans who voted in Baseball’s balloting for the All Century Team picked Koufax as the top lefthander of the century, trailing only Nolan Ryan in the overall voting for pitchers.
