Remember those kids when we were young who could just pick up any sport and be great at it. It felt like they were just wired that way. The brain and body were well connected and could quickly adapt to whatever was going down on the playground. In the fall, they quickly fell in the […]

Eight-year veteran and 2007 World Series champion Covelli “Coco” Crisp is a veteran presence on and off the field for a young Oakland A’s team looking to overtake the Texas Rangers in the American League West.

We\’ve got badges in the works for almost every aspect of high school sport life. You\’ve got em for throwing, hitting, running, and just play scaring the person across the line from you (which we can discount as a skill in itself).

Now we make the transition from outdoor field to indoor court which works just fine […]

School just started last monday. Everyone\’s still a buzz about all the changes and making their way up the class ladder.

We have some of the tried and true traditional ones that fill our head when we generally think of prep sports. Don\’t stop there though because some up and comers are rocketing up in popularity […]
