For the first time Summers County has an under 14 league for the last year. This team played its first games in the spring of 1991. This was the first games this league played in its 6 year history. Despite winning no games the team played together well and never gave up once, they prac- ticed and played hard and to the best of their abilities. No coach could have asked for a better team spirit and pride. This was seen in their 3rd place finish in the Sports Festival in Oak Hill this Aug. This hard work and team spirit carried over into the fall of 1991, where they finished 10-2-1. This team is now considered one of the better teams in this region and well respected by other counties. We have played in such counties as Raleigh, Fayette and Greenbrier. There have been many positive comments made about outindividual players andeach of their abilities. Many of the other coaches have made comments that Continued on page 6 Little League 00knti-Drug Pledge Darrick Scott Fox, 9, was one of several area children to take the Little League Anti.Drug Pledge during signups for the Hinton Little League program recently. I tell all ofthem,"BillHumphreys said a= he handed Darrick his pledge card, =read this. This will help you more than anything.  Darrick said, reading from the card, I pledge to keep my body free of drugs and alcohol to help my friends and teammates do the same, and to strive to remain drug-free throughout my life. I know that ff I can do this, then regardless of the outcome of the game, I will always be a winner.  Humphroys said the Little League Anti-Drug Pledge will probably do more to keep young people off of drugs than eny other anti-drug program in the nation. Ifyou get them thinking right when they are young you have a chance. You've got to get them when they are still little kids, ff you wait until they are big, chances are, you waited too long." In addition to the pledge, the national Little League Drug Education Program offers 8 suggestion to help kids stay off of drugs: 1.) Don't even try drugs. The hesSway to avoid getting into trouble with drugs is not to try them. There's nothing glamorous or exciting about harming yourself. 2.) Don't he afraid to say "No. N Saying no to drugs is the right thing to do. The more you say no to drugs, the easier it gets. 3.) You don't need drtigl. Whether it's drugs, alcohol, or tobacco-- stay sway from them! You don need them to lead a healthy, happy life. 4.) Dont he afraid to be yoursel You're speciaU Don't let anyone try to make you do oomething you know is wrong. Be your own person. 5.) Any frland  who offers you drugs isn't really a friend at all Friends look out for each other and help each other make the right choices. 6.) Don be afraid to ask questions. If you have questions about drugs, uk your parents or another adult you know and trust' for the answers. 7.) Be in control of yourself. You can't always . ntrol things that happen around you, but you can stay in control of your attitude. Think positive and you'll be a winner. 8.) Help your friends say "no.  Encourage your friends to my away from drugs. We all hove a role to play in making America drug free. When Darrlek was asked if he was going to live up to the pledge, he said.
