Thank You Foxpro Baseball And The CCBL For Another Fun Year Of Baseball!

 Well, it is official, the Foxpro Predators have been eliminated from the CCBL playoffs which means I sadly my time with Foxpro baseball is over 😔. But as always, it was such a great time!

WOW! It is crazy with how many years it has been since I first started hanging out with the guys of Foxpro Baseball.

The team is run by Evan Pupo who when I first met him, we immediately got along. Honestly, we share a great love for baseball, but I really loved his goal with the Foxpro baseball team. He wanted to create opportunities for the younger baseball players to have a place to go during the summer and help them get some extra at-bats. Plus, help support our little community.

To be perfectly honest with all of you, I really didn't know what to expect when it came to the CCBL. But I quickly learned how competitive the league was, and I LOVED IT! Many of the athletes that were competing in the league either had or are currently playing at the collegiate level.

I got to meet some incredible people along with Evan, I met Hayden Snook who is doing a great job with his career as a Christian Musician, former Mifflin County player, Isaiah Kearns, Evan's younger brother Jaxson Pupo, Josh Rosefsky, Ethan and Landen Eichhorn, Kalen Gearhart, Rylan Bailey. I even got to hangout with some of the new players, like Elliot Yetter, Jayden Smith, Aidan Arnold, Calin McKnight, Madden Weaver, among many others.

I also to meet players from the other teams like the Spike Island Pirates, Blanchard Bees, Howard Hawks, Spring Creek Shockers and so forth. Great people! Wish I could do more for the league because it really is a fun league to cover, but sadly I am not really able to make it to the Centre County area which sucks, but every little bit helps and I am thankful for the other teams for helping me with rosters and stuff.

I am extremely grateful to Evan, his family and to the other members of the Foxpro baseball team for allowing me to come and be a part of their group and help them with being up not only a league, but the community as well.

I hope and pray that Evan and the team continue to find success and together build something that the community can be proud. 

I encourage any baseball player who wishes to play a little extra baseball and see how you fare against some great competition, then please reach out to Evan Pupo for next year. Also to anyone in the Centre County area who wishes to play, reach out to one your local teams as well.

Thank you to both Foxpro and the Centre County Baseball League for another amazing season this summer. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...
