Rise Magazine on recent St. John's senior baseball players L.J. Hoes and Scott Silverstein: http://www.risemag.com/main.cfm?actionId=globalShowStaticContent&screenKey=magArticle&categoryKey=coverStory&articleId=14511
Granted this story is old (published for the April mag), but it's still a solid story nevertheless. You've got the Jewish sounding Scott Silverstein, who struggled on the junior varsity, only to grow into his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame. And then you've got the always ultra-talented Hoes, who as a a 6-foot-1, 190-pound center fielder has always turned heads.
They both got to the same place, as Division I signees, albeit in different routes. Silverstein signed with Virginia and Hoes with the University of North Carolina. The question is who will end up as the better prospect? I'll take talent and then hard work over hard work and then talent. My fantasy pick goes with Hoes, though a 6-foot-5 pitcher always has potential.

10 A.M. — Top Five WCAC Games
DCSportsFan.com on the Top-Five WCAC Games of the Season: http://www.dcsportsfan.com/article.aspx?aid=2138
A brief, but informative article about the author's opinion on the WCAC's top games.
He lists them (in chronological order):
1. Bishop Ireton at Archbishop Carroll
Ireton lost almost everyone to graduation, but it won't lose to Carroll. If Ireton does go down, it should stick its tail between its legs.
2. Bishop O'Connell at Paul VI
O'Connell thinks they'll have a stronger team, but in a rivalry game, you never know. If we had to pick, we'll go with the coach's son and O'Connell.
3. St. John's at Good Counsel
In a nutshell, don't make a really good Good Counsel team mad. St. John's won't be able to overcome the 44-6 tongue lashing they took in the playoffs last year.
4. Gonzaga at Bishop McNamara
The game will be close, but if we had to choose today, Metro goes with Gonzaga. Call it a gut feeling.
5. DeMatha at Good Counsel (ESPN2)
This is the Game of the Year in the area, and ESPN knows it. There will be almost 10 possible Division I recruits on the field. When in doubt, go with the home team. Good Counsel in a shootout.
