Colombian soccer player attracts AH1N1
The AH1N1 virus may catch anyone, including soccer players. Colombian forward Macnelly Torres experienced this first hand after attracting the virus last week. Torres was infected in Chile, where several of his Colo Colo teammates had already been struggling with symptoms. Esteban Paredes and Rodrigo Millan were first to show signs of the disease, and appear to have handed it over to Torres. While these two players have already returned to training, the Colombian spent the last five days in isolation. However, Torres has passed the most serious phase of the illness and should return to the pitch soon as well. Another two players were tested for AH1N1, but both tests resulted negative. .
Summer's Showcase
In addition to boys and girls basketball, there will be all-star contests in football, baseball, volleyball, softball and soccer. The other local athletes who will be showcased are Cullman High's Chase Mallard, Will Drake and Tyler Caldwell, and Addison High's Kali Lake. Mallard, a rising senior, returned from an injury to star on the mound for the Bearcats' baseball team this past season. This summer, he has been playing with the Bombers, a travel team based out of Hartselle. Drake, also a rising senior, is a standout forward for Cullman's soccer team. Caldwell, a 2009 alumnus of Cullman who set career and single-season state passing records in football during his career, is reportedly considering a scholarship to play at Division III Millsaps College. Lake stars for Addison's volleyball and softball teams.
