 Good human interest story

Athens Pickleball player Jim Conglose, on left, celebrated his 90th birthday playing Piclkeball with Jerry Brinegar (Dr. J) and all his other Athens friends.  He plays about three times a week at Lay Park and shows no mercy to his younger opponents. Jim will be playing in the third annual Pickled Peach Valentine Classic Tournament February 10th-12th at the Classic Center.

    “Two years ago at an annual physical, my physician asked me what I was doing differently. I told him I could only think of  one thing…
    ​pickleball.
    ​I was playing four days a week. He told me to keep it up as my total cholesterol was down and my good cholesterol had gone up!”
