South Host Hoops for HopeOn Jan 23, 2015, South Paulding High School hosted their 6th Annual Hoops for

Hope when they hosted East Paulding HS. This event is hosted to bring awarenessto the fight against cancer. In 2013 it was estimated that there were 1,660,290 new

cases of cancer diagnosed and in 2013, there were more than half a million deaths

from cancer. In today’s world it is rare to find someone who has not been touched

by this disease as either a patient, family member or friend and the Spartan family

and Raider families are no exception. Honored that evening was Dr. Kenneth Nye,

who is the father of Head Coach Kelly Nye-Hinkson. Dr. Nye was recently diag-

nosed with prostate cancer and in December 2014, he underwent surgery in Nash-

ville, TN at St. Thomas Hospital. Recently, he and his family received an optimistic

cancer free pathology report, but like most cancer survivors he will continue dili-gent frequent testing to assure the cancer treatment was effective. Dr. Ken and Bar-

bara Nye, his wife, have been great supporters and sponsors of the Girls’ Basketball

program at SPHS since its beginning in 2006. Dr. and Mrs. Nye were on hand to

support Kelly, their daughter, and the entire SPHS Basketball program. SPHS pre-

sented the game ball to Dr. Nye in honor of his support for the SPHS For the Cure

event and to recognize Dr. Nye as a cancer survivor.

Thank You for support-

“Effort is replenishable. There is no need to save anyof it. Leave every bit you have on the playing field

each day”-Mike Krzyzewski

The older you get the more im-

portant it is to work on your bal-

ancing exercises

No matter what your age, doing exercises

that help you maintain balance will help you

stay on your feet longer. Balance problems

frequently affect older adults, so the sooner

you can incorporate moves like the yoga tree

pose into your routine, the better off you’ll be

down the road. In one study, men who had

suffered strokes participated in twice-weeklyyoga sessions and saw improvements in bal-

ance and endurance. These improvements

motivated them to become more physically

active in their communities. An easy way to

get started: Stand on one foot while brushing

your teeth, switching every time you feel the

need.
