Boys' Athlete of Year: Pat Yoakum
Sports in high school to me meant waking up at 6:30 a.m. in the summer to lift. Then I would have speed training camp at 8 o'clock. Next, I would have basketball open gym until 9. Finally, I could rest for about 10 minutes and then go to my golf practice. After I am done putting in the practice for golf, I can actually get 18 holes in. Now it is 1 p.m.

Most programs — such as Schlarman's baseball team — have gone to a solid-color sock.
