100th win, his team posted a shutout.
    Wellington whipped Kingman 35-0 in the 2008 season opener Friday 
night there, setting the stage for a tenacious three-game series 
starting with Andover Central at home next week.

game ball.
    "There are three reasons why I have won 100 games," Hibbs said. 
"Great players. Great players. Great players."
