real simple.Team(s) think they deserve more than what they have earned
actually, i think this forum has been turned into garbage. Some PEOPLE like shooting other people down when they think they know what their talking about...
and they dont!
and they dont!
Wild cat needs to focus on the teams his team will be facing. Talking about rankings and teams already beaten will have no bearing on what will happen in future games. Taft will have just a good as chance as anyone despite who they have or have not played. You shouldnt talk negatively about other teams...especially at playoff time.
Im not talking negative towards another team. I respect what they have done and take nothing away from them.Its just they have been talking about teams above them in the rankings that have proven things thats all. I know exactly what time it is, its playoff time.

The CPS Championship Game will be Young vs Harlan at Northeastern Illinois University on May 31. Weather permitting. This is a change in location.
The Championship game for the CPS Sophomores was played at Northeastern Illinois University on May 31, 2006. It was Whitney Young over Harlan, 5-4 in a 7 Inning nail biter. This game had a little bit of everything including a 6th Inning controversial call that fortunately had no effect on the outcome of the game.
The winning pitcher was freshman, Jason Ormond (4-1-1) 6 IP; 4 Runs on 1 Hits; 2-K, 2-BB, 1-HBP; all of the runs were unearned; 5 errors were committed. Only two balls left the infield during the first 6 innings of play. Buddy Herberg got the Save pitching for the final three outs, getting the first out on a fly ball to CF and then striking out the last two batters he faced with an over powering fastball, bringing one of the batters to his knees as he swung and missed.
The infield defense was solid for Whitney Young with especially strong play from Jack Cinoman who made several key plays at 2B, Gabe Henriques at Shortstop kept the ball from leaving the infield, and Frank Gowder at 3B and Valmar Jordan at 1B and Buddy Herberg who was behind the plate.
Getting the key hits for the Dolphins were Gabe Henriques (1-RBI), Eric Tabb (1-RBI) and Jack Cinoman. Val Jordan had 2 RBI's off an E-6. All 5 of the Young runs were scored in the 2nd Inning by Jack Cinoman, Jason Ormond, Frank Gowder, Gabe Henriques and Eric Tabb when Harlan defensively broke down.
Harlan scored unearned two runs in the opening frame off of one hit and 2 errors. Things got interesting in the 6th Inning when Harlan scored two more unearned runs off of one hit and two errors. This was after an unbelievable 10 minute delay in the game which was the result of a controversial call. The 4 man umpire crew convened over a HBP call. The 2B ump eventually overruled the home plate ump giving first base to a player who offered the bat in attempting to put down a bunt! The pitcher kept his composure during the heated discussion which eventually involved both coaches.
The losing pitcher was Joseph White going 7 IP; allowing only 3 Hits, 6-K's, 4 BB, 3-E. The walks and errors in the 2nd inning proved costly for Harlan.
Congratulations to Head Coach Kevin Harris and Coach Locks for bringing a second consecutive Sophomore Championship to the Whitney Young Magnet High School Dolphins. The 2006 season record for the Dolphins was 25-6 overall and 23-1 in CPS League Play. Calvin Davis, Director of the CPS League (the largest sports league in the state of Illinois) and Eddie Curry, Director of CPS baseball were in attendance at the game and made the trophy presentations.
Thank you to Von Steuben High School for hosting the CPS Sophomore Championship game at their newly renovated homefield, located at Northeastern Illinois University.

2006 is another disappointment for CPS at the State level. At the CPS Sophomore Baseball Championship game, I spoke briefly with Calvin Davis, Director of the Chicago Public League. The CPS League is the "largest league" in the state of Illinois and is "loaded" with outstanding talent. Davis was quoted in the Chicago Sun Times to have a focus on developing baseball talent. With the talent that is resident in this league how long before a baseball state championship will be coming to the City of Chicago? Who is going to get it done? It will take establishing a goal and having a commitment to getting it done.
The 2006 CPS basketball league has been proven as the most rigourous in the state and is also a recognized developer of basketball talent. This was again proven with two of the top CPS teams making it to the final rounds of the state tournament this year. Who from the CPS League is going to step up and make their mark in Illinois State Baseball? Will it be Lane or Clemente? With Von Stueben's focus on baseball and a new baseball field at Northeastern Illinois University, are they going to be the one? Is Harlan on the cusp? Or is the talent at Young going to be the team that finally steps up to make their mark in the coming years?
Chicago baseball.........it's getting better all of the time.

You have to wonder if the Public League giving up their automatic bid to the elite eight was a mistake. The thinking was that in basketball they could have multiple qualifiers, but it has hurt in baseball. Has a Public League Team made it downstate since they gave up their automatic bid?
Still need more coaches and better facilites (to practice on as well as play on) if they want top take advantage of all that talent.

Agree.........Loads of talent.
Facilities, real coaches and organization are desperately needed. Von Stueben, Clemente and Lane seem to be the most serious about having pride in their programs to advance the talent they have.

I think LT will have a lot to say about that.
Also other than #21 those other players are just average. But I enjoyed watching Taft play a
quality team so we could see how their regular season record was a mirage.
nothing was a "mirrage"...
we made more errors in that game, than we have all year...
when you make as many errors as our feilders did, you cant beat anyone.

Trust me LT doesn't have anything to say to Clemente... 
Let me just say something about Taft. My son's team (Glenbrook North), play them in the first round of the state tournament. Even though we beat them, they were a quality team with good pitching and good hitting. I feel that if we had not been throwing our #1 pitcher, who is going to Bradley University next fall, they might well have beat us. Unfortunately for Taft the only two errors that they made in the game came in the same inning and we were able to get some runs as a result. To me they were one of the better teams that we played all year. If their record was a mirage, it was a very good one. To go 24-0 is very difficult, even against "inferior" competition. Even the best teams have an off day occasionally and would have difficulty winning 24 in a row.
Wow Hopper!.....that's a sad statement! One of the better teams you faced? Whew!

I stand by my statement. Who did they beat?
Teams in their weak conference TWICE! There wasn't a quality team in those 28 wins and thats a fact. But it is something to build on for next year. Play a tougher schedule it'll only help in the long run.

but hopefully we can get moved up to the "super-conference" so we can play better teams.

Cubs haven't won a World Series in forever, so maybe they won't repair the falling concrete 'til 2086...when the Cubs should finally be in a World Series.

What happned with the game? It was canclled by protest....? Anyone have any information?
quote:Originally posted by bears2686:
Thanks for the infomation....... If its clementes ace its either estrada or belen......anyone kno who.......Im guessing taft pitched hes there number 1......howd he pitch?
I think it was Belen, not 100% sure but taft didnt pitch there #1...the #1 is sophomore Chris Rivera, Garza pitched a complete game, gave up 5 hits
I'm not sure wether it was their ace that pitched or not. For Taft, it was the #2 pitcher hes a junior. Clemente scored their first run in the first with a leadoff bunt, stoled 2nd, sac groundout to the 1st basemen, runner advanced to 3rd and basehit to left to score the run. great run manufacturing. Taft answered in i think the 3rd with a leadoff single, then a double to the leftfeild wall after scoring the guy from 1st. it stayed that way until the bottom of the 6th.
After the lead off walk got picked off of first, and the 2nd batter k'ed. The 3rd batter walked to 1st. With 2 outs and the middle playing a shade to the left, the hitter got jammed hitting a bloop to right behind first and it dropped in to put runners on 1st and 3rd. 3 pitches into the batter with an 0-2 count a curveball hit off the plate and took a bounce off the catchers mask away from the plate letting the runner from 3rd score making it 2-1.
In the top of the 7th Taft threatned with a leadoff single, then a walk. With runners on 1st and 2nd, 0 outs, Taft failed to bunt the runners over. The first out was a pop-out to the 3rd basemen. While the next batter was up, the runner on first had to get back to first after a snap throw from the catcher, but the first basemen completely blocked the bag while scooping the ball to tag him out. The batter then hit a ball up the middle feilded by the shortstop for the final out of the game.
I believe the final stats were.
Clemente 2 5 0
Taft 1 4 0
Hard fought game. Couldve gone either way.

Clemente's Ace is Belen and Estrada is there numnber two they both share it really like wood and prior did. But Belen pithced against Taft. So why did the MP vs Lane game get stopped? if Lane was up 9-1 why protest its pretty much done with. so what are the times and matchups for UIC this weekend i know clemente, Young, Mather, are in
its not at UIC this year. I believe their at brooks.

Kenwood tomorrow @ Clememte 10:00 then semi-final at Brooks 3:30 Sat.
why they change it to brooks it has been UIC for the last 7 years everyone wants to play there is Brooks Field that nice? So if Lane wins they will be playing a double dip tommorrow ?
Don't know why it was changed, it sure is a heck of a ride down there, possible schedule conflict with UIC baseball, if it was available it makes no sense, but neither does a lot of stuff the CPL does.
Well i checked and UIC is in Dayton, Ohio so i dont know why they changed it but then again like you said a lot of things CPL do doesnt make sense
Brooks is avery nice field and compares to Les Miller but yes it a ride down there

lololol...Easy to be the "bigger person" when you pound someone 23-5.
CPS City Semi-Finals
Lane 5 Mather 4
Lane pulls off a miracle trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the 7th. A GREAT HS Baseball game where both teams played so hard. I am very proud of our boys coming back after going through all of the CPS BS and coming through having to play 3 games in less than 24 hours.
CPS City Championship
Monday May 21,2007 @ 2pm Wrigley Field
Lane vs. Whitney Young
BeenThere- The score (23-5) was indicative of the level of frustration of our players and coaches at the dirty, lowdown, cowardice matter at which this team and others around it (collusion) tried to pull against our kids. PM me and I will go into detail, not pretty! We run a program with the utmost class, we will never run it up on anyone unless they ask for it.
Keep working hard,

Hey, first time I ever, in my life, was happy to see that kind of score. Seemed to me to be a just ending to a b-ugly situation. I was proud of Lane, all things considered. No matter what games anyone else was playing this week, our boys only played ONE game - baseball. I think the "bigger person" thing was more about NOT saying that sort of thing than about the score. I'm not quite as big as Stringer. ((shrug)) As a mom, sometimes, I think some things call for a spanking.
recap on the Clemente Young Game?
See RECAP posted in Whitney Young at Wrigley Thread, but will post here as well.........
Under the lights at beautiful Brooks Academy Field on Saturday night, May 19 it was the Whitney Young Dolphins getting the Big Time Win over Clemente in the Semifinal Playoffs 10-5. Young now advances to the CPL City Championship Game which will be played on Monday. The prize is getting the privilege to play at Wrigley Field in another Big Time game versus Lane Tech.
On Saturday night, Young scored the first run of the game to take a 1-0 lead, however Marvin Sanchez of Clemente answered the call hitting a 1st pitch home run off of Young's starter Jim Clement in the bottom of the 1st inning which quickly tied the game. At the end of the first inning of play Clemente was leading 4-1. Clemente however, scored their only other run in the 2nd inning when Sanchez crossed the plate one more time again.
However, it was in the 5th inning that Young really came alive and pounded out 7 Hits in a huge 9 Run, 5th inning surge to overtake Clemente who had been leading the game 5-1, and were looking very much to be the team in control. But in the fifth, Clemente struggled mightily to find an answer as a torrent of hits began as a large Young fan turnout cheered the Dolphins on urging them to continue the rally. Clemente made 2 pitching changes in an inning that never seemed to end!
In the bottom of the 6th inning, the winning pitcher James Coleman (D-1 prospect) showed his tenacity getting out of a bases loaded jam and shutting the door on Clemente. A key strike out with the bases loaded got the second out and a 6-4 play stopped Clemente from scoring and ended the inning. Coleman was the Winning Pitcher and Max Freidman made an appearance, coming in to pitch with one out in the 7th inning and recording two K's to get the final two outs. In the final analysis James Coleman was absolutely stellar, pitching 4.1 pressure cooker innings while allowing No Runs and No Hits and recording 9-K's, 5-BB's and 1 HBP.
Congratulations to the entire Whitney Young Coaching staff. The baseball program is on a roll and heading upwards as the Young Sophomores advanced to the CPL City Championship earlier in the day. The Junior Varsity will face Lane Tech, going for a three peat in the Sophomore City Championship series. However, the real Capstone was the varsity team getting their Big Time win to advance to play Lane on Monday at Wrigley Field and will be making their first appearance in the CPL Championship!
This game had many Big Time highlights, but this observer notes that the two big ESPN Replays came during the 5th inning when the Designated Hitter, Elliott Greenhill hit a blast into center field which was shortly followed by Valmer Jordan's Big Time Homerun which was a 375 shot over the center field fence. Clemente struggled to find an answer to Young's onslaught, however by the time they got the first out in the inning, 8 runs had already crossed the plate.
A key defensive highlight came in the bottom of the 5th inning when Pedro Rosa quickly reacted to a deep hit to center field which he snared, recording the second out of the inning. This play was key to stopping a Clemente run from being posted to the scoreboard.
Also in the scorebook with Big Time Hits were Joe Frahm who was 2 for 4 with 2-Singles (2-RBI); Julian Kenner 2 for 4 with 2-Singles (RBI); Troy Wright 2 for 4 with 2-Doubles (RBI); Jim Clement 2 for 4 with Double and a Single; Eric Fone-Single.
Young scored 10 Runs on 11 Hits and 3 E's. Clemente scored 5 Runs on 5 Hits and 4 E's.
Game time is Monday at 2:00 pm. Admission and parking are free!
See you there. If you will be rooting for Young wear your Blue and Orange!

Anyone know who made the All Public Team?
I'm going to guess that all of the Daley boys made it...and of course Todd Stroger.
Probably Manny Flores, Toni Preckwinkle, Eddie Burke, Mike Zalewski, Danny Solis, Ed Smith, Ray Saurez, Dicky Mell, Emma Mitts, Pat O'Connor, Bernie Stone, and bat boy Tom Tunney.
Burt Natarus, unfortunately, did not make the team this year.
And Tony Peraica, although talented and deserving, was not let into the building while the ballots were being counted and as a result there was absolutely no way he was going to make the team...plain and simple!

Ya any infro on who made it / date of the game etc...
What does the "Super Conference" look like for the 2008 season? I have heard there will now be two?
To my understanding it will be the South and North Conferences. The South will consist of Simeon, Harlan, Young,Kenwood,Hyde Park, Morgan Park, Jones,and Morgan Park. North is Clemente, Lane, Lakeview, Von Stuben Mather, Schurz,Taft, and Northside Prep. Foreman was moved to another division. Hope this helps.
Sorry about putting in Morgan Park twice.
Brooks is the 8th team in the south.
Yes it does thanks baseball8. It looks like either Young or Simeon to come out on top in the South. And in the North i truthfully dont no cus i kno the two power hosues - Lane, Clemente lost alot of starters. WHo would u think?
bears2686,
Harlan is always going to compete.So do not take them for granted.Simeon has some players who can make some. noise.The north will be, and can be very interesting.
