Beech Glen - Where Hoop Dreams Get Laid Up
Just playing a little basketball is about all ex-players -- and even many people who never had the chance to play on a team -- want to do in their spare time. Beech Glen Community Center provides that sweet opportunity. The gym at Beech Glen has brand new extra-soft goals, floors so sticky that you twist your ankle if you stop too quick, and is just big enough to where a lot of pick up games happen.

Spine Injury Presentation Draws Athletes' Attention
The spine is the central nervous core of the human body. It's the CPU -- the central processing unit of the body. When something bad happens to it, it's not going to be the only thing affected. In a case of a 20-year-old MHC football player, something did happen. Students, athletes, and faculty alike crowded in to the MHC media center on April 9 to hear a SLAM presentation by the student athletic trainers on spinal injury.
