Wesson, Miss.–Copiah-Lincoln Community College Lady Wolves

pitcher/outfielder Missy Romero of Canyon Lake has been named Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) Second Team All-State.

As a freshman Romero led the Lady Wolves in batting average (.365), hits (42), slugging percentage (.522), on base percentage (.407), and doubles (11). She had 1 home run and 16 RBIs.

On the mound, Romero appeared in 9 games and finished the season with a 2-3 record.

Freshman pitcher Brooke Gonzales of Denham Springs, La was named First Team All-State While outfielder Kaitlin Moak of Wesson joined Romero on the Second Team.

The Lady Wolves finished the 2013 campaign with a 23-19-1 overall record, 8-16 in the MACJC South Division.

 

Baseball lives off of stats.

You can find stats for every time a player hits the ball to the right side of the infield on a full count facing a southpaw after fouling off three pitches.

In football many teams have specialist for offense or defense and don’t play on both sides of the ball…don’t even ask about those special team players. (kickers we are talking about you)

Finding the best player for baseball has to take in three aspects if not more based on leadership or how many times they stepped on the lines going onto the field. (that is bad luck)

A pitcher can have an unblemished record for your team still stands a chance of not even making the playoffs.

Having a great average involves getting a hit three out of ten times you go to the plate.

Two more Canyon Lake athletes have taken pen in hand and signed on for  higher education and a chance to continue their dream of playing baseball.

Travis Walker and Michael Brady sat at the table with their parents looking on in a cold Hawk Gym last Thursday morning.

It was said the gym was cold to get Walker acclimated to where he will be playing next year.

Crown College will be his new home and that College is in St. Bonifacius, Minnesota.

Located about 45 minutes west of Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

How about going east to San Marcos, get on I-35 and head north for about 1,045 miles. A long way from home to play for Crown College Storm baseball team.

Brady will be going the Junior College road for about 265 miles to Angelina Junior College in Lufkin, Texas.

Both players have had very successful careers for the Hawks as has been chronicled on this site these past few months and years.

Coach Trent Dunavant commented before the signing on both players.

“I have had the honor to coach Travis for four years,” Coach Dunavant started.

The ReSporter has four team sports that need to be looked over for All-Time player and

Spotlight player these next couple of weeks.

The ReSporter still has Softball, Baseball, and Boy’s and Girl’s Track squad. Yes, track can be described as an individual sport, but if athletes can perform well enough, CL’s Track teams can win team titles at several stadiums. (Hence Team Sport)

Softball will be our project for this article as we delve into some players that have been pillars throughout these past six years.

The ReSporter likes sports like this, since numbers by individuals can be a pivotal ingredient for how the team can and will perform.

In Softball, The Circle, is vital for any team that wants to compete at a high level. So, with that as a backdrop it won’t come as a surprise in naming Missy Romero as the most valuable player.

But, The ReSporter would like to highlight other players and give them the kudos befitting them and reasons why they also deserve recognition.

Boys Basketball will be our next expedition in seeing who might be that player that gets The

ReSporter thoughts on being most valuable as well as that Spotlight Player for this coming season.

Thinking through past players and their worth in numbers and by talking to Coaches made this a tough sport to pick.

Doug Hubnik having such a good year in dishing out assists this past season has to rank up their in how he holds himself,  just  like most of the basketball players has been a joy no matter their record.

Hubnik had more assists than other players have had in a two or three year period.

Matt Magness is another player that is near the top or leading several statistical categories.

 Points Scored:      555       First
 3Point Goals:        52       Third
 Free Throws Made:   120       First

The Hawks Freshman Girls had a good year and that is an understatement.

It has been mentioned before, but as you look at these young ladies and their accomplishments across the board you will see some excellent athletes that will also be interesting to see them continue to improve.

Examples: Abbey Andress in Tennis lost in the District Meet to a Senior and almost pulled out her game in the match. That player that beat Andress continued in the tournament and that draw of playing the champion early did not do Andress any justice.

Next year will get a resolve from Andress as you can see the passion for tennis in her face and mannerisms.

Prediction: A Freshman Lady that will be the first to win a Tennis District Title before she graduates.

Softball: Alexis Robinson was in the circle and you already know what happens with another year of experience. The Hawks started with another freshman pitcher four years ago and that turned out pretty good for Canyon Lake.

The Lady Hawks also had their first JV Softball team and that will help as girls get more playing time to hone their skills.

All Around Boy’s Athlete was announced at the Spring Sports Banquet last Wednesday

night and The ReSporter did not find it as a shock when that student was announced.

First off, an award with a name that says All-Round would tell you that the person probably plays more than one sport.

The next thing to take in from that criteria would be, does he have to be the best in each of those fields.

The ReSporter is guessing the answer to that question is no, but you would think that they would be near the top with each game they were playing.

Other items that would go with an award like this goes with things that are not seen by an average fan.

Never late for practice and how they handle themselves around the team and coaches when Mr. or Mrs. Public is not watching.

Senior Doug Hubnik nabbed this accolade as he graciously sauntered down from the stands. But sauntering down is certainly not how he played.

Football—Basketball—Track and Field was those three arenas that Hubnik made his second home these past four years and since The ReSporter likes to expound stats for sports, then get ready to digest some tasty numbers.

Hubnik played defensive back for CL Varsity for three years and had an interception for a touchdown two years ago.

On special teams he had the first touchdown by running back a kick-off in that same game with Luling that his interception return was performed.

Offenively, Hubnik was a go to guy for QB Branson Belcher and finished his career as one of the Hawks all time best.
