Andrew Cruse, freshman USC (formerly Hopewell HS) made his college debut this past weekend, pitching a scoreless inning in relief and allowing no hits against Charleston Southern.
Way to go ANDREW!!!!! Keep up the good work.
Harris Honeycutt (Fuquay Varina) and Arik Hempy (Garner) joined Bard and Woodard in making their collegiate debuts on February 21. Honeycutt and Hempy each pitched an inning in South Carolina's 20-3 win over UNC-W.
What a day !

:xyzthumbs....North Carolina boys are representin' :D Great job guys!!
...and way to go Jere Morton :applause:
I appreciate it, thanks.
Congratulations to the other guys on this board, I look forward to keeping up with everyone this spring and summer. This is a great place to get information on the High School guys, and I hope it will serve as a place to keep up with the college teams as well.
Adam McLaurin had his debut, (FR., from Fuquay) pitched 1 inning in NCSU's win over Elon yesterday, getting 2 K's and a pop-up. (Had to throw the Wolfpack in there...)
Kelly Stracke (FR., from Athens Drive) is Barton College's #1 starter and picked up a win yesterday.
By the way............
Jon Willard (Green Hope HS), now at Chipola College, hit a three-run homerun a couple days ago. He transferred to Chipola from South Carolina after the fall semester.
Funny you mentioned that, Jere, about a college forum. Once we change our server tomorrow, we will be on a brand new server...that will be bigger and badder:) Once we change we are going to add a College baseball forum to keep up with all the outstanding NC boys all over

Hi all. Just back from Columbia, SC with the real story.
Arik's first college pitch is one that he will always remember (and I was watching the guns so only heard the ping from Matt Sutton's left hand bat who had faced Arik many times before and was setting dead red fastball ) 90 MPH FB low and outside ping over the fence in left field at 110 MPH. It is something that happens to all of them sometime, however, the coaching staff did not talk as much about the home run as coming back with quality pitches to get out of the inning. So for those of you out there reading this the point is to suck it up and go on believing in yourself and throw strikes.

Great hearing from you Bob ....
Anyone who has a pitcher in their family suffers from P.P.S. ... (Pitcher's Parent Syndrome). I've heard the female version is commonly called PMS, but I won't go there ....
Congrats to Arik ... He's a fine pitcher and young man.

PPS is a terrible condition. You can be on cloud nine one minute and valley 9 the next. You have to try to maintain as even a keal as possible. We want the very best for our kids.
Congrats Bob. I have heard that Arik has REALLY been throwing well. That showed real guts to not even flinch and go on with the business at hand. USC may very well be the OMAHA Trophy owners in June.
I know there are a lot of NC kids doing well in college but I am partial to the 03 class. The 03 class fans also seem to be more willing to share info.
Keep it coming. Can't get enough.

great having you on the site fvbb2003 ... (and I would hazard a guess that fv stands for Fuquay-Varina .. meaning that you guys are great rivals of the Garner grads).......
Keep us updated with everything that's going on ........

Your guess would be correct. I am an '03 FVBB dad. My son Adam and Caleb fittingly had their college debut at the same time. Dejavue all over again. It was a memory put in permanant storage.

Congrats to Josh. I saw him in a game at Catawba last week. He played well in the field and had 3 hits. It looks like he has gotten a little bigger since I last saw him and has obviously increased the pop in his bat. Great kid from a really big baseball family. Good luck for the future.
Siak pitcher of the week. A-Sun.

Pfeiffer defeated L-R 13-3. Pfeiffer out hit L-R 15 to 8, including 4 HRs.
Bard pitched a gem in TX over the weekend for UNC but got ND. 7+ innings no or 1 run. Woody had trouble in the closer role but he's goona be fine.
We have a kid from out-yalls-way on our team. Brennan Shore (RHP) of Ledford got his first win in the 2nd game of a doubleheader yesterday. Brennan pitched 2 innings of relief allowing 1 hit as we won in the bottom of the 7th with a walk-off 3 run homerun by Jon Gatewood (Princeton HS). LCC moves to 6-0, play NC Wesleyan JV on Wednesday and travel to Blue Ridge CC for a weekend series (4 games).
