The Saint Johns College High School located in Washington, DC -- currently has five (5) seniors that have verbally committed to D-1 colleges:

1. Hugh Adams, RHP, 6'5 - Florida Atlantic
2. Matt Mack, IF, 6' - Radford
3. Cory Beahm,IF, 5'10' - Hartford
4. Jerome Hoes, OF 6' - North Carolina
5. Scott Silverstein, LHP, 6'5" - Virginia

Wow! Looks like they grow them big over there.

Congratulations to all!!!

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall St. John's being ranked extremely high this past year -- like in the top 3 nationwide -- by PGCrosschecker. Congrats to all!

Actually they finished # 95 -- but with all those guys being seniors, look for a much higher finish in 2008.

congrats to all of those boys.....they're great ball players, good kids and definately will be on one of the best baseball teams this coming spring in the Washington DC metropolitan area. St. Johns plays in the WCAC or otherwise known as the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, simply one of the best baseball conferences historically in the region, but they will definately face some good competition in their own conference. Paul VI High School in Fairfax Va, also plays in the WCAC and currently has 3 seniors verbally committed to D-1 schools. Also keep an eye out for Notre Dame Academy in the Virginia suburbs. In the public school arena also around the extended suburbs of the Washington DC metro area you'll have VA State Champs, James River HS which also will be very talented, and Oakton HS in Vienna Va.

It's going to be a great spring season of baseball coming up for everyone and I'm sure the college commitments will grow for all of these schools.

this was posted on another site but thought should be stated......

The early signing period begins next week for college baseball. SJC will have 9 Div. 1 signees:
1. LJ Hoes, North Carolina

4. Jeff Flax, LaSalle
5. Craig Miller, LaSalle

This is a very impressive # for any high school in the country. Congrats to all of these young men at St. Johns College High School in DC.

Wow -- I'd hate to be a junior at that school this year!

So SJC ended the year at #95. Perhaps I saw their higher ranking earlier in the season. Regardless, it sounds like a phenomenal program.

Here's a great team out of NJ who has alot of 2008 talent committed to D-1 programs:

Don Bosco Prep

Eric Pfisterer - Duke
Mike Dennhardt - Boston College
