will be given in three divisions
including off-shore, bay and
kids ages 12 and under, she said.
Prizes for the off-shore di-
vision include biggest king fish,
red snapper, ling and overall

led trout, redfish stringer and
second biggest (limit three) and

The tournament began in
1990, which was organized by
the late Gary Madison, and it
reeled in $20,000 for the Har-
bor in 2016. Walton expects the
tournament to raise at least
that amount this year, she said.
“All the monies he (Mad-
ison) raised was donated to
The Harbor,” Walton said. “He
passed away in 1997, and The
Harbor just took it (tourna-
ment) over, ft is The Harbor’s

kinds of training methods.
“We are going to work
on agilities one day, work on
endurance one day, work on
power one day, work on speed
one day, so we are working on
something different everyday,”
Whitaker said.
“In the weight room, we
have two different days. One
day is a circuit, total body, and
one day we are working on
heavy weights, strength train-
ing, and we alternate between
the two,” he added.
The fall sports season is
right around the corner with
volleyball, cross-country and
team tennis starting Aug. 1.
According to Whitaker,
one of the biggest advantages
an athlete can have in partici-
pating in Champions Course is
that they will be ahead of the
athletes that have not trained
in the offseason.
“ft is a great program. The
kids that come consistently
during the summertime, when
they come back in the fall, they
are ripping and roaring and
ready to go,” Whitaker said.
“The kids that are here
working and improving them-
selves are going to show up
and be ready to go. ft will be
like they never missed a beat,”
Whitaker added.
As for the coaches, Cham-
pions Course is utilized to take
a look at the athletes they have

ing to the superintendent.
The worker was initially
transported to Memorial Med-
ical Center and was later taken
by helicopter to a Houston hos-
pital as a precautionary mea-
sure, Cowley said. The worker
was awake before leaving the
scene, Cowley added.
The superintendent said
Thursday afternoon he is
awaiting additional reports on
the incident.

and bullying prevention to 1,115
adults.
Last year, 492 sexual assault
interventions occurred. Assis-
tance was provided to victims
and families of child abuse, sex-
ual assault and neglect cases in
six counties including Calhoun,
Dewitt, Goliad, Jackson, Lava-
ca and Matagorda, with a total
of 82 clients served.
In 2016, 259 domestic vio-
lence cases were processed and
3,037 individuals were assisted
through phone calls to The Har-
bor hotline/the center at 215 W
Railroad St.
Walton said The Harbor
could not provide the services
it does without holding fund-
raisers, sponsorships and com-
munity support.
“We receive a lot of feder-
al and state funds that are re-
stricted and are used mostly for
direct services for the victims
that we serve,” Walton said.
“This money allows us to cover
any expense that those grants
don’t, mostly the operational
costs.”

and build relationships with
them.
“You get to see a lot of
your kids during the summer-
time, and see the ones that are
dedicated, motivated and work
hard to improve themselves.
For us, it is exciting to see
those kids. We stay in touch
with them, and we just contin-
ue to build a bond between the
coaches and kids,” Whitaker
said.
Whitaker said another ad-
vantage to Champions Course
is that the athletes are mixed
up and not in sport specific
groups.
According to Whitaker,
this allows the athletes to build
a bond, in which they could
help each other out down the
road.
“It is fun to see the kids
start to intermix. The oth-
er thing is getting to see the
baseball kids, basketball kids,
track kids and the interaction
they have with each other,”
Whitaker said.
“I think that always builds
a lot of good bonding, and then
kids go support each other
during the year because they
worked out with each oth-
er during the summertime.
I think that is a good plus
and positive for Champions
Course,” Whitaker added.
Champions Course began
June 12 and ends July 20.

largest fundraiser. We’ve added
the mystery dinner and the gun
raffle, but those do not come
close to raising the amount the
tournament does.”
“When it first started, we
made $10,000, and now we are
up to $20,000. ft was one of the
few fishing tournaments in the
area at the time, ft was popular,
and had quite a bit of entries,
but participation has gone
down because there are oth-
er tournaments now,” Walton
said.
In 2016, the tournament
funded the continuation of
The Harbor’s services to vic-
tims and their families as well
as community education in-
cluding prevention education
presentations to over 14,591
children on topics such as sex-
ual assault, sexual harassment,
bullying, the six pillars of char-
acter and developing healthy
relationships.
The funds also provided
for educational presentations
on parenting skills, anger man-
agement, domestic violence
Weights clanging, shoes
screeching and coaches coach-
ing were sounds that echoed
from the parking lot Monday
morning at Calhoun High
School.
The Calhoun athletes of
all sports woke up early during
their summertime break to
participate in Champions
Course.
This is athletic director
and head football coach Rich-
ard Whitaker’s 13th year of
running Champions Course.
Whitaker began the off-
season program his first year
at CHS.
Throughout the course of
those 13 years, Whitaker has
seen the results of the pro-
gram and encourages his ath-
letes to participate.
“The purpose is to keep
kids in shape. You work so
hard during the year to get
kids stronger and faster, and
if the kids do not continue to
work during the summertime,
they start over in the fall,”
Whitaker said.
“That is why we encour-
age them to get up here and
stay in shape with us,” Whita-
ker added.
Everyday the coaches and
athletes will work on some-
