I saw this article and that they had to be joking. A kid banned because he is too good of a pitcher!
Nine-year-old Jericho Scott is a good baseball player -- too good, it turns out.

As I'm starting this entry, the Major League Baseball All-Star game is resembling a softball game — domination from pitchers, lots of strikeouts, some aggressive baserunning, and some baserunning errors.
So maybe it's appropriate that for today's Year in Review segment, we head to...

As you might expect, and as you might have already noticed, the number of posts at School House Zach is going to lessen a little bit here in the month of June. Not a whole lot of high school sports action going on.
There was an all-city baseball game last Friday night at Gerry Collis Field at...

Ensley Gammel started celebrating Centennial's Division I Central Section softball championship before her final pitch even reached the plate.
It was a strikeout, resulting in the Golden Hawks' 2-1 victory at Madera on Friday in front of an overflow crowd that mostly consisted of blue-clad...

Can two rivals root for each other? If Bakersfield wants to sweep the Division I baseball and softball Central Section championships, folks at Stockdale and Centennial will have to. A day after the Mustangs baseball team held off Clovis West 5-3 in a D-I Valley semifinal, Centennial stymied...

Forgive me for returning to a subject I've harped on before (and this probably won't be the last time, so ignore me if you like), but let's talk about the California Interscholastic Federation.
Why, oh why, do we have random sports with state championships and others with none? As great as local...

It's championship week for high school sports here in the Central Section, and I've mentioned before this is my favorite time of year. It comes along three times, and for a fortnight at a time, the games and events don't just mean something — they mean everything for a lot of these kids.

It's been an eternity since my last post here — if you hadn't noticed, we had a pretty big throwing story we ran this week, and we wrapped up section track finals. Anyway, my apologies. I promise to make up for it with a nice, long, involved playoff glance here.
Let's start in baseball....

UPDATE — Checking back in with Division III and IV news.
Kern County is well represented in D-III, but I don't know how far any of the teams will go. South, which reached the championship game last year before falling to Dinuba, is the highest-seeded K.C. team at No. 5. The Rebels host...

I've returned from a weekend getaway down in Orange County and have spent the day working/freaking out about everything that's about to happen. I say freaking out because (1) it's going to be a lot of work to organize and keep tabs on everything (but, hey, that's why they pay me the small bucks,...

Spring isn't usually the time for big crowds and high-tension moments in high-school sports, but today at Stockdale was an exception. They had the snack bar open between the baseball and softball diamonds for the first time since anyone I talked to could remember.
It was with good reason,...

As you can already tell by looking at my profile, I am a very big fan of Centennial's sports programs. Well yesterday I was able to make it out to Garces High to watch the GHAWKS's JV girls softball team (my cousin is the JV coach for Centennial) play in the championship game of the...

Before we get to the main post, let's play a quick word-association game. I'll let Garces junior Stephon Carter handle the first answer for me:
Campbell Hall and star guard Jrue Holiday? "As good as advertised," Carter said.
Garces' boys team? Poised for an even deeper run next year....

The Auburn event on Sept 15 & 16 has been canceled. So, looks like Andy will go up to Squaw Valley, Ca. to jump in the Art Barkfest Fun Jump event. All proceeds go to the local ASPCA in Squaw Valley. Don't think I'll go this time, awful long drive for this old man ;) ...

Looking for a place to train Andy. Ot could be a swimming pool. It needs a ledge for him to see as he jumps, not a sloping bank. If you know of a place please let me know about it. Need a place to get him ready for the upcoming World Championships in AZ.
