Francis and the team are not even looking ahead to conference
play. Up until this point, the team has focused on the preseason and now it will start to focus on its non-conference schedule.

The team will start a five-game road trip Sunday, when it heads to Athens, Ga., to play Georgia (0-1).
"We'll use the non-conference to prepare us," Francis said. "When that is over we'll move to the conference and re-establish some goals for that part of the season."

Most recent high school graduates focus on making the best of their few remaining months together. While Sugar made sure to say his goodbyes to his fellow high school graduates this summer, he also had his mind focused on baseball. Matt, alongside former teammate and future Texas Tech Red Raider Brian Hethcoat, was in the gym four days a week, spent time in the batting cages twice a week and often threw bullpen sessions.
concerns about the upcoming tryouts that will determine his baseball career.
With a large amount of students attempting to make the team, it won't be easy to stand out, but Sugar hopes his resume will help give him an edge over the competition.
"I don't want to make a fool out of myself." Sugar said.
"I hope that the experience of going deep into playoffs and playing with a high level of talent in Texas can help me stand out during the tryout process," Sugar said.
So when Sugar takes the field for the first day of tryouts on Sept. 27, he will get his answers. The answers that most walk-on hopefuls are looking for: Can I play at a higher level? Can I shake off the nerves? And can my dreams become reality?
"I have no idea how the talent will be surrounding me," Sugar said. "All I can do is go out there and do my best and hope I can play at a level that will get me a spot on the roster."

With the swimming and diving season rapidly approaching, senior Joy Bunting is ready for one last go-around.
After recently being named captain for the second year in a row, Bunting knows what her responsibilities are.

Bunting said she thought that being a captain last season was huge for her offseason development.
"I now know what's expected of me," she said. "It's really boosted my confidence, as I was able to get to know my teammates and get them to where they want to go."

Tiger Woods finds leaderboard again
Championship last September.
PARAMUS, N.J. — Yes, that really was Tiger Woods' name atop the leaderboard.
In his first tournament since his divorce, Woods finally looked like the No. 1 player in the world Thursday at the Barclays when he opened with a 6-under 65, his lowest score of the year, to share the lead with Vaughn Taylor. It was his first time leading after any round on the PGA Tour since the Tour
"It's exciting to hit the ball flush again," Woods said. "It's something I've been missing all year."
He didn't miss much at Ridgewood Country Club. Woods hit all but one fairway and putted for birdie on all but two holes. And while he hit his driver only twice, they were two of his best shots of the day — including on the 291-yard fifth hole, where his drive landed pin-high and settled 15 feet away.
Was it just a coincidence that his game showed up so soon after his marriage was dissolved?
"I can't really say that the case," he said. "As far as golf, it was nice to put it together."
Woods and Taylor both played in the morning, when the greens were smooth and the conditions were only breezy.
The last time Woods' was atop the leaderboard after any round of any tournament was when he won the Australian Masters on Nov. 15.
