Willkomm (boys' basketball) and Danielle Tait (softball softball, variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies' ) were among the winners. ``We thought it was a lot of fun and a great chance for everyone to celebrate together,'' athletic director Athletic director (commonly, "athletics director") is a position at many American colleges and universities, as well as in larger high schools and middle schools, which oversees the work of the coaches and related staff involved in intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic Casey Burrill said. ``Usually, teams just meet at the end of the year and give out awards at their own banquet, but we think it's fun to all be together.'' School principal Norman Estrada was awarded a honorary Sammy as well. ``He's been most supportive to our programs,'' Burrill said. --The news wasn't all good at Saugus on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, it was learned the softball team would have to forfeit To lose to another person or to the state some privilege, right, or property due to the commission of an error, an offense, or a crime, a breach of contract, or a neglect of duty; to subject property to confiscation; or to become liable for the payment of a penalty, as the result of a three league victories - costing the team a playoff berth - because of an ineligible player. The members of the team weren't informed until the next afternoon - just hours before the regular-season finale against Hart - and, not surprisingly, the girls were angry and upset; many were crying. Coach Rich Perez said he takes the blame because he wasn't thorough about checking the grades. However, co-athletic director Teri Lord said the player in question had lied to administrators - even though Lord agreed it was the staff's job to file paperwork. Burrill said the matter isn't closed and further disciplinary action might be taken - although against whom isn't clear. --The Valencia Ice Station is offering free public skating sessions for all military veterans, law enforcement and fire department personnel (with proper ID) from 4:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Saturday in honor of Memorial Day.
