As we prepare to start I just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a safe and successful season!

Stay positive and remember a player gets better by recognizing qualities versus weaknesses!

Hope to see you all at a game or two!

I second that! I was just outside in my driveway speaking to three of my neighbor boys who will be trying out for Glenelg tomorrow. They are excited and nervous.

Although it's early in the college season, just thought it worthy to note that Arundel grad Cory Overholtzer is off to a great start in his soph season at UNC-Greensboro hitting .625 with a homer, a triple and two doubles along with four rbi's through the first four games of the season.

Really proud of Corey! Another 4-5 with a grandslam!

You can not even appreciate how hard this kid has worked and I certainly wish him much success throughout his career. Well deserved.

Hope everyone stayed reasonably warm yesterday and enjoyed being out on the field. Stay healthy and keep working hard.

Corey was just named Southern Conference Player of the Week!

7 FOR 9 .778 2B, 3B, Grand Slam, 8 RBI in a three-game sweep of UConn.

Great to see Maryland players being successful! Great job, Corey Overholtzer!

Corey has always been such an underachiever! Hahaha. Congrats George! Give my best to Corey!

Congratulations to LJ Hoes and Scott Silverstein representing Saint Johns College High School for being named today by Sporting News Baseball (First Team) and Baseball America (Third Team) last week as "2008 High School Baseball All Americans".

A Week behind us, weather reasonable (relative term), how is everyone feeling? Rusty or did all the winter work pay-off?

Let's here about some players who you expect to do well, as well as some players who may surprise some people.

Much success to everyone and hope to see you all at a game or two.

All of the games I know of were rained out.

Where is everyone going for the spring trips, especially since public schools can go too!

St. Pauls opens up tomorrow against St. Marys . HS baseball and March Madness , does it get any better ??

Yeah, it could be 70-80 degrees.

Since when can public schools go in Md.. I don't think all of them can go. It depends on the County.

As you know MD has several private schools who go every year. At the same time I am glad to see where some public schools did travel last year and hope the number increases. If it is a county by county rule, let's hope more counties allow it to happen.

It is always nice to see our teams play and meet kids outside the area.

So where is everyone (Private and Public) headed.

Larry,

Hey we are playing Glenelg this year again. If you got some free time stop by. Its during our spring break.... lord knows I can't call it Easter Break w/o getting yelled at.....

Scout,
Pub's can go as long as they do not miss any classroom time. So over Spring Break they can go as far as there money takes them..

St. Mary's is headed to Tampa.

My sons team played their first game of the season (scrimmage) last Tuesday. Many people on this site know that my son Andrew is recovering from Tommy John surgery and is in his 8th month of rehab. Well he got to dh and went 0 for 3 with one strike out. He did beat out the throw on a dropped third strike and eventually scored the tying run(game ended 7-7 tie).I figured he was going to be upset that he didn't get a hit. Well when he got in my truck for the trip home he had this huge smile on his face and said man it's good to be back on the field.


Sometimes we all get carried away with wins and loses and how well our team did or didn't do. There's that old saying about takeing time to smell the roses. Well since my sons injury I think it really hit home for us to take the time to enjoy every moment. He plays North County today and Arundel on Monday and we plan on enjoying every minute no matter what the outcome.


Good luck to everyone this season and take the time to smell the roses!
