Lawman Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 My youngest got his first Varsity hit on Tuesday. Line drive through the six hole (between SS and 3b). This was his third game of the season, he went 0-1 with 2 BB in the first game (ground out). Walked in 1 at bat in the 2nd. He had two fly-outs before his hit in the third game. He might be the starting pitcher next game [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//42.gif[/img] He's a Freshman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks, he's pitched in some big games himself, AAU 12U National Championship game. He came in the 3rd with his team down 2-0, pitching 4 innings we lost 2-0. There was a big debate (among parents) about starting him, but I understood what the coach was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvin was not allowed to participate in Track this year. Football/basketball related conduct; I'll get back to that. But I bet Coach U. Meyers(FLA) is happy. The football team were potentially having to forfeit 7 games this past year and not allowed to advance to the semi-final game. There were allegations of illegal player. Here is the skinny: Landstown has a Vocational Program. The player in question actually attended Landstown in his Junior year (Voc Prog). HE DID NOT PLAY FOOTBALL. By VHSS rules after sitting out a year; he should be eligible. His parents used an address in the Landstown Zone. The player was not a starter and was a sub-par player; he just wanted to be on the team. Why did he play in so many games you ask; Landstown averaging 52 points a game were blowing alot of people out. VHSS ruled in favor of Landstown. As for Harvin, he had trouble (and others) dealing with being a 17 year old Phenom. By others accounts; Harvin 's actions were provoked by opposing players and of course as a 17 year old (lacking self-control) it was natural for him to respond. As for Coach Beatty (Chris); he is now the Hampton University OC. He runs spread offense so at the High School level coupled with players like Harvin and Mcdaniel, one can see how potent that offense can be. Oakton did a great job of double-teaming Harvin in the State championship game while Mcdaniels was hampered by a turf-toe. My sons BB team is not very good, but they play hard and have arguably the best field in the Beach District; Beach district play-offs are held there.

"Glory Days" Bruce Springsteen I had a friend was a big baseball player back in high school He could throw that speedball by you Make you look like a fool boy Saw him the other night at this roadside bar I was walking in, he was walking out We went back inside sat down had a few drinks but all he kept talking about was Chorus: Glory days well they'll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days Well there's a girl that lives up the block back in school she could turn all the boy's heads Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed Her and her husband Bobby well they split up I guess it's two years gone by now We just sit around talking about the old times, she says when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking about Chorus Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight and I'm going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it but I probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of, well time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of glory days Chorus (repeat twice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is he's a much better baseball player than a basketball player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
