THE JAVELINA MEN’S first-half defense in the team’s win over Angelo State last week in the Steinke Center was as good as I’ve ever seen. Angelo entered the game averaging 83.9 points a game, and the figure had been much higher earlier in the season. The Javelinas held the Rams to five points in the first 10 minutes of play and to 14 points the first half. Visiting The Javelinas have one of the best defensive scoring figures in Band the Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II. They have The Ricardo Middle School allowed 67.7 points a game in a league that features several teams Band played at ranked high in the NCAA in scoring. the Javelina In the two Javelina victories over the Rams last week, the men’s and TAMUK defense held the opponent to 53 points in the first game women’s and was even tougher in the second game in San Angelo, limiting games last the Rams to 50 points. week in the Steinke Center. FORMER JAVELINA HIGH jumper Jeron Robinson, who was a many-time national champion and All-American while with the Javelinas in 2013-16, is now on the professional circuit and some of the meets are nationally televised. Robinson was in the Grand Prix last weekend in Boston and will be competing in the Millrose Games Saturday in New York City. This week’s meet will be in The Armory where Robinson has competed as a Javelina. The high jump is set for 3:40 p.m. (CST) Saturday and the meet will be televised from 3:30-5:30 p.m. (CST) on NBC Sports Network. Robinson’s sponsor is Nike. Robinson finished fourth in the Boston meet, clearing 6-10.75. He has consistently cleared heights in the 7-4 and 7-5 range in his career but is coming back from an injury that handicapped him in the final few meets of his collegiate career.

(Continued from Page 3) As time demands on athletes continues to be a key top of discussion by the NCAA, Division II members saw this legislative change as a step in the right direction.

THE NCAA PLAYING Rules Oversight Panel approved three experimental rules in softball designed to increase the pace of play in conference games for this season. While the experimental rules were for the autonomy conferences, any league from any of the three NCAA divisions may submit a request to use the three experimental rules during the 2017 season. The rules will be applied in conference games for the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference. The rules are: …Restricting the number of charged conferences, either offensive or defensive, to six per team. Teams may use two conferences per inning. Each team is allowed one conference, offensive or defensive, for each extra inning. The team representative or player who initiates any additional charged offensive or defensive conference will be ejected. The current rules allowed each team one offensive and one defensive conference per inning. …Defensive teams will not be allowed to huddle at the pitcher’s mound after an out. Teams will still be allowed to throw the ball around the infield, but the ball must then be thrown directly to the pitcher. The penalty for huddling at the mound the first time will be a warning and any subsequent violations will result in a ball being awarded to the next batter. The current rule allows teams to huddle after an out.
