I have read that Carpenter is going to VCU and Byrd is going to Randolph-Macon College.
And yes, I agree it was a boring game last night. It was just as boring two weeks ago when the tide was reversed but the score was the same 11-1 with the damage done in 5 innings. I would much rather see a close game, but it looks like JR is saving their arms for next week.
I didn't have any bugs in my crowded bleacher seat, tho.

Thanks Monty, wow so they do have kids going on to play in college, there hasn't been much written about there student athlete's going on to college to play. Your probably right, the Cosby fans would have paid 10 to watch that game, but in my opinion it taints the finals by a game of that nature.
I do want to know if the 1 loss in two years is true regarding Carpenter though, that is outstanding if true.

Well as I said it is just my opinion. There is a difference in trying to score runs and running up the score. Nuff said.

Fitzgerald will be an underclassman on the Va. Cardinals as soon as Cosby's season is done. Going that route is an indication that he sees his future in baseball, not football.
We haven't had a player fail to move on to college yet. Fitzgerald will not be our first to fall short.
He not only has stellar speed, he has "baseball speed". He doesn't hesitate, he is aggressive and gets outstanding jumps. A nice successor to Colton Konvicka (VISAA Div. I POY) for us. Fitzy has also shown he can hit, well enough to take over the leadoff role for a state tournament team. He has some power, too, as he showed at RMC last week.
As for Cosby, frankly I don't know if they have any starters who could not play collegiately at some level, if that is where their heart lies. The Williams kid is destined to be one of the state's prized recruits for somebody.
