The final buzzer

By SANDY GERENCSER Ball games are many things to many people. From the opening tip-off to the final buzzer ball games can be thrilling, exasperating, boring, tense, funny, in doubt or “in-the-bag.” All these mixed emotions, by fans and players, go full strength until the final buzzer. That last buzzer puts a halt to the game — it silences the cheers and stops the action. Thus the name for this, my final article. I have completed my second year as sports writer for The Mail-Journal. I began in the fall of my junior year and was asked to do the Wawasee basketball games and something on the swimming and wrestling meets once in a while. It seemed that the swimmers and wrestlers would be slighted if they were only reported on once in a while, because those meets are important to those athletes. Also, the junior varsity basketball team deserved a little more credit than the single line it got at the end of the varsity article in most other area papers. After all, the junior varsity today will be the varsity of tomorrow. So I decided each team should be covered all season:

Wed., June 18,1975 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

That pretty well set up boys’ athletics, but there were many girls that deserved recognition for their talents in gymnastics, swimming and basketball. Soon I was covering all of the sporting events at Wawasee. Since then I've tried to give all the teams coverage throughout the year. I had two reasons for covering all the sports. One reason was to show Mail-Journal readers the fine athletic program at Wawasee — there's more to the program than football and basketball, but I do not wish to take anything from either of these sports. The second, and most important, was to show kids in "minor” sports that they counted too. It was important for them to see their names in the paper also; they got more competitive in many instances. It’s been a big task at times. It has found me hunting up coaches from one end of the building to the other for statistics on the latest game or meet. Sometimes it was especially difficult for a girl sports writer to talk to the coaches of the boys’ teams. The problem came in the fact that they would be in the locker room and I, unknown to them, would be

out in the hallway. Luckily a player or manager usually came to my rescue and notified the coach that I needed to see him. I'm human too and I’ve made my share of mistakes. For example, last fall when I started writing up cross country, no one told me that you read cross country scores like golf scores. It was a big joke when the team's first losses went down as wins; however. I probably would have been bumped off if the team had won those meets. I know that I have learned a lot from this experience It has strengthened my writing abilities and I’m sure that will be a big help this fall. I will be a freshman at Purdue university and intend to major in English. I do want to thank all of the coaches for their help and patience throughout the year and also the statisticians, managers and athletes that helped me out when coaches were unavailable. I will be unable to cover the baseball team this summer, but I wish it and all the Wawasee teams good luck in the future. Next fall Joan Buletty will join TheM-J as sportswriter. She will be a senior at Wawasee.
