Signs that the Atlanta Braves are closer to spring training come today. Many of the team's pitchers begin conditioning workouts and throwing sessions at Turner Field. The sessions will go through much of the next two weeks. New to the pitching staff is Tom Glavine, who in the off-season returned to his original club after five years with the Mets in New York. The Braves hope for the return of Mike Hampton to the rotation. He's been out for the last two seasons rehabbing from a pair of elbow surgeries.
The struggles continue for the Georgia women's basketball team. The Lady Bulldogs lost in Athens to visiting Kentucky 47-44. Georgia's record fell to 16-5, and 3-3 inside Southeastern Conference play. The news was better for Georgia Tech's women, as they beat Clemson in Atlanta 77-59. From men's play, Georgia Southern lost on Thursday to Chattanooga 96-91.
From pro hockey, the Atlanta Thrashers will be without their top scorer for two games over the weekend, but the news could have been worse. Ilya Kovalchuk injured right knee during the team's Wednesday win over Pittsburgh. An MRI test was taken as a precaution. Kovalchuk hopes to return to action next week.
The Atlanta Hawks' Joe Johnson has been selected as a reserve for the NBA's All-Star Game on February 17th.
Former Georgia Tech defensive coordiantor Jon Tenuta has landed a new job. After serving as D-coordinator for six years with Tech, he now joins Notre Dame as assistant head coach of defense.
