"The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot."

Eastview baseball has always been thought of as an intimidating team to play. By the sounds of it, this year should be no different.

I caught up with a few kids from the 9th Grade A team last year and what their thoughts are for their upcoming year, and the family they have built by playing baseball.

Joe Schlosser has been playing baseball since he was 4 years old. He has never even had the thought of quitting, solely based on the pure love of the game.

“It’s a fun time to hang out with friends and play sports that we love to do. We all know how to have fun, but at the same time, are able to focus on the task at hand, which is winning games.”

Josh Chatfield is the same way. Growing up, he always loved playing ball, and would always jump at the chance to try new things.

 “I play 2nd base, pitcher, outfield, and the occasional left-bench. I think the team uses me to my full potential, and I think so too, considering we have done well in the past.”

Everyone wants to win, but no one knows more about the art of winning than Grant “Cheese” Martinson. He has always thought of things that the team needs to do in order to win, and this year is no different.

“To score 5 or more runs every game. I think that is reachable, considering that we have had a really great offense all these years, and it should stay the same way!”

With the winning attitudes that these guys and the rest of their teammates have, I don’t see how this team of brothers, couldn’t have another successful season. For the Flash, this is Derek Schiebel.

Zack Greinke (rib) may start year on DL

The young promising season for the Milwaukee Brewers is not starting out entirely as expected. Their star pitching acquisition over the offseason Zack Greinke has injured his rib and will start the season on the 15-Day DL. He injured his rib after playing in a pick up basketball game after one of the teams games this spring. While it may not seem like such a big deal, to us Brewer fans, learning our star pitcher won't be with us to start the year is a little brutal, but hopefully we can stay tough, and fight through those first 2-3 weeks with a strong winning record!

English Quiz

I got 10 out of 10! It wasn't that hard I didn't think, and it obviouslty showed! It was a fairly easy topic to learn, and I was very quick to learn it!

Buckeyes widen poll lead over Kansas

After their huge win over Wisconsin this week, the Buckeyes have solidified their spot at the top of the polls, improving their lead over Kansas even more than last week. The biggest losers in this past week were Villanova (my team), Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Texas A&M, all of which fell out of the Top 25. The top teams following Ohio State are Kansas, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Duke. BYU took a huge hit from the loss of one their better players and dropped from 3 to 8 in the ranking. A big winner was Kansas State, the Pre-season number 3 ranked team in the nation is finally showing what they are made of, returning to the Top 25 in the 19th rank, first time since Week 10, which came out on January 10th. I give all teams, especially Villanova, the best of luck going into their conference tournaments this week, as all of America gets ready for MArch Madness to soon begin.

No. 1 Ohio State rips Wisconsin in Big Ten finale

Ohio State, the numebr one team in the nation, showed why tehy were number one yesterday. As a team, they hit 14 of 15 three pointers, including 7 of 8 froim John "Three-bler" Diebler. Afterwards, after the game ended in a blow out, 93-65, Diebler said,"I apologize for missing that one," which led to the entire locker room laughing loudly. After their upset of the then undefeated Ohio State team earlier, the Badgers came in with an edge, but the Buckeye's had home court advantage, and the determination to com eback and even out the season series. They had alreaddy clinched the Big Ten Title from an Iowa win against Purdue, but this game was for pride, and afterwards, the Buckeye's came out with a little more of that than the Badgers of Madison.
