After being picked to finish sixth in the Peach Belt Conference, head Coach David Barnett of the men’s baseball team was flattered but knows it’s the results at the end of the season that really count.
Last season, Barnett said the Saints were chosen to finish 10th in the Peach Belt and ended up rounding out the season in sixth place. They finished 29-23 overall and 14-10 against Peach Belt teams.
This press release was written for a class project and was selected as a finalist for the Gargoyle’s 2011 Anthology. It is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Walt Disney World.

Dec. 20 is the day that 10-year-old Tyler Youtz has been looking forward to all year. While most fifth graders would consider a birthday or Christmas to be their favorite day of the year, Tyler would rather spend it at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, adorned with a Santa hat. As the yellow delivery truck slows to a stop outside of the hospital’s entrance, he steps out of the passenger door to greet dozens of doctors, nurses and volunteers that are ready to help him bring nearly 2,000 toys to young cancer patients.

Rane Harrington’s favorite method of travel doesn’t involve shelling out gas money or cash for an expensive plane ticket. Instead, Harrington hops trains.
Harrington packs an extra set of clothes into a big bag, in case he gets covered with the filth from the dust of the box car or the airborne debris flying past the train. Popularized in the Great Depression by hundreds of hobos looking for out-of-state work, train-hopping still has a loyal following of people across the country.

“I can’t draw.” Those words were the excuse Phil Grech used until he quit his job and became a tattoo artist. Then, Grech turned his “corporate liberation” into a book.
Although Grech has always been a writer, he became an author by chance.

St. Augustine local Christopher Baxter turned to yoga in 1971 to take the pressure off his overwhelming college course load.
“I was really struggling to keep my head above water,” Baxter said.
Already drowning in academic classes, Baxter never actually attended a yoga class. He began with a home practice and taught himself from a book.
Forty years later, he said he has no idea what he would be without yoga now.

There’s a rather unique building next to Kenan Hall. I bet you knew that, but unless you’re an art student or the best friend of an art student, you probably haven’t been inside it.

Fans of the St. Augustine sing-a-long band Wobbly Toms were not bothered by news of a CD release delay on Saturday, Jan. 15, the second day of Wobbly Fest at the White Lion Restaurant & Pub. Instead, they did not seem to notice. They were too busy dancing, singing, drinking and celebrating what the eight-piece band calls “feel good music.”

Head coach Erika Lang-Montgomery of the women’s basketball team said the team is striving to make the Peach Belt conference tournament through every game.
The Saints have gone 2-2 in their last four games beating Augusta State and Palm Beach Atlantic. Their overall record is 4-9 and have gone 1-4 against Peach Belt conference teams.
For Senior John Pietkiewicz the main reason for the men’s basketball team’s success this season is team chemistry.
Pietkiewicz said there is no attitude among the players on the team which is not commonly found in a college basketball program. Most teams he said have players who are unhappy about minutes and shots.
