This is the 10th year that the MCSOA has offered scholarships. Including this year, we have raised $7,600 dollars and given scholarships to 35 student athletes coming from the schools within Manitowoc County. This year there were 31 applicants representing each of the 8 schools in the county. This year’s committee was made up of Steve Walsh, Dave Nickles, Steve Sanders, Brian Ulness and Jon Krause. Once again this year we have another great group of student athletes to add to our list of scholarship winners! This years winners are: (Each will be receiving a $250 Scholarship from the MCSOA) Forrest Fenlon, Valders - Forrest has been an active member of the MCSOA for four years. He has performed over 200 hours of community service, including working with the Special Olympics along with MSCOA fundraisers. Has a 3.76 GPA and is planning on attending UW Oshkosh and earn a biology/pre-med degree. Forrest participated in football, basketball, track and golf at Valders High School. Colton Haack, Mishicot- Colton is also interested in officiating and has worked both basketball and
baseball games. It was very impressive how Colton battled back from four serious knee injuries. During his rehab he continued to work with his teams to both support them and to offer leadership when he could. Has a 3.69 GPA and is planning on attending UW La Crosse to study Exercise Science. Colton participated in football, basketball and baseball at Michicot High School Anthony Hynek, Reedsville - Anthony is the epitome of a "teamplayer". In his essay the committee was impressed with his goals as being a good teammate and being a team leader, not by being the best player, but by demonstrating good sportsmanship. Has a 3.98 GPA and is planning on attending Lakeland College to earn a business degree with a aviation minor. Anthony participated in both football and basketball at Reedsville HS. Stephanie Winans, Manitowoc Lincoln - Stephanie is also a member of the MSCOA and is involved in officiating basketball.

activities, but without the
bouncing often involved in
static stretching. Static
stretching involves
stretching while the body is
at rest, by stretching to a
point of tension and holding
that stretch for a few
seconds to a few minutes.
Static stretching, where you
hold a position for more than
30 seconds in order to elon-
gate the muscle, is still safe.
In fact, it should be done
AFTER the activity.
This year, Krystal Otto from
Rehab plus came and gave a
great presentation on
stretching. She talked about
two kids of stretches,
Dynamic and Static. So what
is the difference? Should we
use both? Is one better than
the other?
Dynamic stretching involves
movements (such as wide
arm circles) that more
closely resemble what the
body does during sports
Dynamic stretching is able to
accomplish many things. It is
able to increase blood flow, in-
crease the range of motion, in-
crease your awareness of your
joint position, and improve your
athletic performance. That is
why you see everyone from am-
ateur athletes to the NFL and
NBA performing it. It has be-
come a necessary part of warm
up.
So that being said, which is bet-
ter to use? They both are! Make
sure you utilize both stretching
techniques in your pregame
warm up activities.
