Then there is Gary Martin, the global track and field star who will be running for the University of Virginia this fall. Martin was all-state in cross country and won individual state titles in indoor track. He was also the state champion in the mile race while setting a state record (4:04.59). In the spring, Martin established a record time in the mile (3:57.98) at the PCL meet and became the first Pennsylvania high school runner to register a sub-four minute mile. He was the state champion in the 800 meters (1:51.24) and set a meet record in the 1,600 (4:01.56).

"My job is to support the players and coaches and make sure the programs run smoothly," O'Neill said. "I take that very seriously and I also make it a point to attend all (or most) home games in all Wood sports. I also attend all playoff games whether they are home or away, unless there is another game here at Wood that day. I enjoy being on the sidelines with the teams.

Major League Baseball partnered with the independent Atlantic League to experiment with the game. NPR's A Martinez talks to Rick White, president of the Atlantic League, about what they've been doing.

Thanks to resisting the metric system for over a hundred years, many baseball stats are lathered with beautiful-sounding round numbers - a 100-mile-an-hour fastball or a 400-foot home run. But lately, for a lot of fans, the game at the major league level has largely become a two-dimensional sport - pretty much just home runs or strikeouts - which has people complaining that it's boring. So Major League Baseball has been looking into tweaking some things, and two of the biggest are moving the pitcher's mound back a foot and using robotic umpires to call balls and strikes. Now, to test it out, they partnered with the independent Atlantic League, and Rick White is the president of that league. Rick, thanks for joining us.

WHITE: You know, it's interesting. Before it happened, there was a great deal of speculation. There was, in some quarters, a near revolt in clubhouses. But once we started the experiment, we were all surprised to see that pitchers acclimated to a one-foot-further distance very easily almost without any real preparation, the way you might think. You know, a guy who's throwing 96 miles an hour is still going to be throwing with the same velocity. And there wasn't really a material effect with the extra foot of pitching distance.

WHITE: That's the great curiosity, A. I go to many of our games, as you would imagine, and universally, even though intellectually many fans knew that an automated system was calling balls and strikes, they were still yelling at the umpire to call a better game.

Diggins avg. 20.2 ppg and scored 20+ points in 12 games. His 35 points against Roman Catholic in the league semifinals were a semifinal record. He heads into his senior season with a PIAA 5A title game appearance as a sophomore and a trip to the Palestra to his name. On a team loaded with talent in juniors Jaylen Stinson (14.4 ppg), Marcus Randolph (14.2) and Daeshon Shepherd (13.0), the 6-3 floor general showcased his prowess time and again such as a 26-point outing vs. Bonner-Prendergast and a 28-point game in a double-overtime victory over the Cahillites in the regular season.

While all four, experienced players are moving on, Chavis will still have talent to work with to continue this streak of success at Bishop McDevitt. Terrell Pitts, a 6-4 freshman, will take on a bigger role. He played in every game last season including a 12-point contest vs. South Philadelphia High School. Alassane Amadou, a 6-8 sophomore who transferred in from Quakertown, hit two big three-pointers down the stretch in the win over the Cahillites and will be the top post threat next year. Other pieces included 6-foot sophomore Trent Middleton, who scored in double figures in two games, and Quinn Guilyard, a 6-4 junior who scored 10 points against Conwell-Egan and Devon Prep.

They advanced to the league playoffs four straight years including the 2018 title game. Even more monumental was their success in the state tournament where they advanced to two state semifinal appearances and the PIAA Class 4A title game against Imhotep Charter as juniors, with the help of Ajiri Johnson (Rider), Isaiah Wong (Miami (Fl.)) and Tariq Ingraham (Wake Forest).

Dinkins, who will play at Harcum College next season, led the team with 17.0 ppg and scored under 10 points in only two games. Irving, who came off the bench for much of the season, avg. 14.0 ppg which included a 28-point game vs. the Haverford School. Purnell, the starting point guard, avg. 11.9 ppg and Burton, a standout facilitator and defender, started the majority of games at small forward. Bambara, a 6-6 versatile big man, came into his own, avg. 7.6 ppg and scored 13 points against Neumann-Goretti in the playoffs. The other junior who played key minutes was 6-8 junior Jax Trickey, a transfer from Sanford (Del.) and great facilitator from the high post.

Dinkins, Reeves and fellow senior Momo Kortue were 0-13 in league play as freshmen and have seen the Lions program develop into one which can compete with the best teams in the league. They claimed victories over Archbishop Ryan, La Salle, St. Joe's Prep and Bishop McDevitt. They lost to Archbishop Wood by four points, despite being down by double digits on two separate occasions. They lost to Bonner-Prendergast by two at home in overtime after battling back from 15 points in the first half (led by six with less than two minutes left in regulation). They nearly took down the Cahillites at home but fell by seven points. The Lions shot 12-for-26 from behind the arc in that game, Dinkins had 11 points in the opening half, Purnell had nine of his 19 points in the second quarter and the team led 38-25 at halftime.

The juniors expect to be the projected starters for next season and Jaden Rogers, 6-3 freshman guard who saw action in a few games last season, should be in the rotation. Nemetz sees the success only continuing with this junior class taking the lead from the seniors.

In the one-mile run, the Explorers swept places one through six, and eight of the top 10, with senior Ethan Maher taking first (4:25.75). Maher also won the 3,000 meter run (9:02.52). Senior Eric Ford took the 60-meter dash (7.32).

Morris was honored before the Philadelphia Catholic League title game by Arrrigale and Matt Griffin, two of his former pupils who have had great success as coaches. The raucous and exalted Palestra crowd gave him one more, well deserved sendoff.

But once he steps on the basketball floor, the smile vanishes. When the ball is in his hands, Maalik Wayns transforms from a funny high school student into a cold-blooded court assassin who gives every ounce of his strength to make sure the Cahillites come out on top, no matter how formidable the opponent.

"Maalik will go anywhere, any place to accept a challenge," says McNesby, a former player and assistant at Roman who took over the helm after legendary head coach Dennis Seddon retired in October after 22 seasons.Wayns fits the prototypical Philly guard to a T -- a tough-as-nails, lockdown defender who can contribute in all facets of the game, even mixing it up with the big boys down low for a key rebound.

The Wanamaker twins treated each practice like it was a playoff contest, so it was a seamless transition for them to carry the intensity over to the real games. Eventually, Wayns began to take the same approach.

Roman trailed N-G by 10 late in the game, and Brad Wanamaker -- who now plays at Pitt -- was in foul trouble. The Cahillites nevertheless staged a furious comeback thanks in large part to Wayns, who threaded passes, dove for loose balls and hit a key 3-pointer as Roman went on to win, 59-56. Wayns finished with 13 points.

He carried the momentum over to the prestigious Alhambra Catholic Invitational, where he garnered All-Tournament second team honors after pouring in a game-high 21 points to again lead Roman past Neumann-Goretti in the finals.

Wayns stepped up his game even more last season after the graduation of the Wanamakers. He was selected to The Associated Press Class AAAA All-State first team and the Daily News All-City first team thanks to averages of 24.6 points, 7.1 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game. Roman won the consolation title at Alhambra and lost to St. Joe's Prep in the PCL quarterfinals.

Baseball history accounts for only fifteen years of Luke's life, beginning shortly before his thirty-third birthday. Prior to that, tales are told that he played softball, but no evidence has been found to verify the claims. In 1947 and 1948, Negro League records show that he played for the Homestead Grays of the Negro National League. During those two seasons, he hit .336, including 23 home runs, in just over 100 games. Among those home runs were allegedly the most prodigious in Negro League history, including the first ball hit into the center field bleachers in New York's Polo Grounds in any league at any level. 2b1af7f3a8
