OK, random thoughts on the hoops in Vegas, hoops and Vegas:
Over the week I developed some serious curiosity about the kids in the Jayhawks program specifically, having seen all five of their games at the 17s level.
All i can say is that I will watch guys like Jake Nelson and Alex Stoyle, Eric Deane and [...]

The Granite State Jayhawks 17s bowed out in the second Championship round of the Nike Main Event here Saturday.
It was a spirited effort. In the early game, the Jayhawks knocked off the Wisconsin force by a dozen.
The Jayhawks, behind a red-hot Ben Bartoldus built a 20-point lead early, pretty sure it was 28-8, but this [...]
In an absolute thriller, with some serious, serious talent on the Rancho High floor, the Mass Rivals 17s dropped their championship round opener, 88-86.
The teams flew up and down the floor with both point guards shining. Jordan LaGuerre of the Rivals tackled NJ Playaz Isaiah Epps, who is the real deal folks, and it was [...]
Hey folks, sorry I’m a little tardy on this report.
Had a bit of a computer problem on opening day of this 1,000-team, three-tournament club hoop extravaganza in the shadow of the Las Vegas strip.
OK, first things first. This is hoop paradise. Yes, you have to wade through some mediocre talent, but man there are some [...]
Huge Sunday coming up in Winnipeg of all places….
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 18th, 2009 Comments
Yes, I would have trouble finding Winnipeg on a map, I’m human. Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, they all look alike to me. Apologies to my Western Canadian friends, but I digress.
Rob Oppenheim is just three shots back, tied for 5th in the Canadian Tour players championship.
More than the 30-something thousand dollar winner’s check, Opp is gunning [...]
Golf takes center stage today and over the weekend …
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 17th, 2009 Comments
No, not my match this afternoon with the legendary Lawrence-bred baseball coaching trio of Dave Fabrizio, Frank Brucato and Jimmy Licciardi.
Nope, real golf.
First, there’s the Tiger watch at the British Open. Usually my favorite major, hopefully it will start blowing in Scotland and bring these guys to their knees.
Then, we’ve got today’s Mass. Amateur final [...]
Before the game, Andover High boys hoop coach Dave Fazio talked of his program just “turning the page” and starting another chapter.
“We haven’t beaten them since Carson (Desrosiers) walked into their gym,” said Fazio.
Fazio’s Warriors then went out and took it to Desrosiers and the Raiders in the Hoops for Hope David Bradner Memorial Tournament [...]
FYI … there’s a new par-3 in the region, and it’s beautiful
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 15th, 2009 Comments
Had a shot to bring Ollie Longo and a couple friends out to the new par-3 course at Atkinson Country Club. Let’s just say, it dazzled.
Read all about it in Thursday’s Eagle-Tribune. I told Peter Doherty, the Atkinson director of golf, that all I could say was, “Wow!”
For a par-3 course to have character says [...]
