Underdog, favorite cat
Haven't been updating this much lately. I apologize. This one will be a short one: The folks at the Georgia High School Football Daily/AJC.com have used the Maxwell Power Ratings to predict the winner and margin of victory for every GHSA game in the state. Local games of interest: Richmond Hill is a 12 point favorite over Beach. Toombs County is a 12 point favorite over Bryan County. Bradwell Institute is a 5 point favorite over Savannah High. ...
For once, NCAA did something it should have
Given the NCAA's usual hands off approach when it comes to major football programs, what took place earlier this week was downright amazing.
Random stuff from the state 10/11 Little League championship
I think I've taken nearly 1,000 photos since the 2012 Georgia Little League championship for 10/11 year olds got under way on Saturday in Richmond Hill. Julia Harrison has also been taking photos left and right.
Rain stays away for Sunday Little League action
Somehow, it didn't rain at the ballpark Sunday during the early afternoon games of the 2012 Georgia Little League 10/11-year-old state championship,.
All-Star tournament brings back All-Star memories, sort of
It's going to be fun to be watch Little League baseball again. I didn't really get into organized sports until I was 11 or 12 when my dad was stationed inFort Richardson,Alaska. That meant a short stay in Little League, then on into Babe Ruth League, where believe it or not I eventually made the Fort Richardson All-Star team . I had a big head, but in truth I was not very good. I could ...
A side trip down candidate lane
I know this is supposed to be a sports blog. It IS a sports blog, by golly. It's just that writing about sports all the time makes for a dull mind. Or makes my mind duller than it usually is. Or something. Never mind. Today's not sports topic: Candidate signs. We're in the middle of politics season and you can't turn around without seeing 14 candidates trying to get you to vote for them. Some ...
Special camp for special kids
Forget all those video games about combat. They don't shoot back. Meaning you can't know what war is like unless you've been there and most of us haven't been within a thousand miles of there. But after six deployments and having twice been wounded in action, the 1st sergeant of an infantry company I met Sunday at Fort Stewart has been there. So has the military couple with more than six deployments under their belt ...
Sometimes the answers you get are better than the questions you ask
Sometimes, the answers you get are better than the questions you ask. That was the case last week, when I emailed Dr. Dawn Hadley for some quotes on recent coaching changes at Bryan County High School.
A quick sports blog: getting scooped
A quick sports blog Nothing like being the last guy in the room to figure something out. Nothing like being scooped, either. Found out this morning that Richmond Hill quarterback Dominique Allen has made an early verbal commitment to the Air Force Academy. He did this a while back and somehow the announcement, which went public, didn't make it to the Bryan County News sports desk – which, for all intents and purposes, is me. ...
So a woman is suing a Little League player ...
Sometimes I just don't know what to say. This is one of those times. Do the link. http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2012/jun/22/new-jersey-woman-hit-ball-sues-little-league-playe/ If you're too busy to do the link: Here's a copy and paste from an Associated Press story: "MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A New Jersey woman who was struck in the face with a baseball at a Little League game is suing the young catcher who threw it. Elizabeth Lloyd is seeking more than $150,000 in damages ...
Guyton event on Sunday, Monday
I covered NFL linebacker Gary Guyton when he was in high school at Bradwell Institute. Good kid, heck of a high school player and he told me one practice before the start of his senior year that he planned on making it to the NFL. He kept his word.
Uh-oh, the sports blog is back
My hiatus as a sports blogger is over. I know, I can hear the crickets chirping. Ah well. We'll see how it goes. But I might as well note up front I was motivated to blog again by something that has nothing whatsoever to do with sports. I'm not sure what category you'd fit this in – maybe man's general downhill run to eventual ruin and oblivion. All I know is Saturday after I got ...
Lady Wildcats off to solid start
Maybe it's a sign of advancing age or an inferior intellect or a byproduct of a time in which we're bombarded by information by the second, but I can't seem to keep my mind on one thing for very long. Which is why this column looks like it does. Hot starts: Not counting what happened last night whey took on the Lady Redskins in Pembroke, the Richmond Hill High School girls' basketball team is ...
Pray for Joe Watkins ....
Belated update: Joe passed away on Saturday. Heaven not only got a pretty good baseball player, but a fine kid as well.
Munson was the best
Being from South Carolina and being a diehard Gamecock fan, I've never cared much for the Georgia Bulldogs.In fact, they rank No. 2 after Clemson on the list of college football programs I really don't like.
