Missy Romero will be entering her 2nd year of competition for Copiah-Lincoln

Community College and had a very productive season.

Romero has now been selected for a Who’s Who award.

WHO’S WHO – Melissa Romero of Canyon Lake is among the 105 outstanding sophomores on Copiah-Lincoln Community College’s (Miss.) Wesson Campus selected to Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges for 2013-2014. Selection is based upon leadership, scholarship, character, and the potential for success upon graduation. Each recipient will be featured in the annual volume, which covers all 50 states and all U.S. territories. Students enrolled full-time in two-year programs are eligible for consideration. A local committee composed of administrators, staff, and faculty made the final recommendations to the editors of Who’s Who. Melissa is a member of the Lady Wolves Softball Team and is the daughter of Theresa and Bobby Romero of Canyon Lake.

Softball will be in full swing as the 2014 season fast approaches.

The first official practice started last Saturday as newcomers and oldies all were out wanting to see what this year might have in store.

“I was very pleased this week in seeing who came out,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “The talent that showed up today was very encouraging.”

When asked what type of talent was seen, Coach Gallagher was forthcoming, “Overall athleticism, we have girls who can play that I did not see a month ago.”

The Hawks will have a four team scrimmage at Canyon High School on February 1st and then a home game scrimmage on Friday, February 7th with Harper.

The ReSporter has tabulated this past season in District 27-3A team sports by school and as

you can see last season was not a banner year for Canyon Lake.

If a school finished first then they garnered 1 point and if a school finished last, then they would accumulate 6 points.

So the school with the least amount of points would be the goal.

Canyon Lake is still looking for their first District 27-3A Title in any sport as their best finish is still a second place finish in their history. (Baseball ’10, Softball ’11, Boys Track ’11 and ’12)

This year the top four teams will be able to punch their ticket for a post season berth and if you used that same criteria for last year, then you will see that your Hawks would of only qualified in one team sport.

Football would of been that sport to qualify for a playoff if this new rule would of been in place.

In all the other team sports your Canyon Lake Hawks best finish was fifth place.

Last season in a word was not a banner year and as this new school season approaches, CLHS will have many opportunities to improve on that record.

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.

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.

The ReSporter caught up with Missy Romero who has just finished her first year of College

Softball.

Romero, you might say, had a great break out year at Copiah-Lincoln with a decent batting average and playing a pivotal part for the Wolfpack team.

Romero was CL’s, in the circle, player for four years and also finished her career with several Hawk records.

The ReSporter is now in its fourth year of covering Canyon Lake and Bracken Christian schools. The ReSporter has just finished it’s 1,043rd article and has also had 62,039 visits and 162,238 pages read as of February 5, 2014 stats.

As you know, this site is free for those who would like to frequent these pages after a sporting event. The ReSporter would like to introduce you to a new ‘Ad’ that was added about 10 days ago.

First off, do know that many of the advertisers on this site services The ReSporter’s household and there is a great deal of comfort in knowing that these Companies and people would treat you as well as I am treated by their services.

The ReSporter needs the audience that relies on this coverage to help out by telling these companies/people that you saw their ‘Ad’ on this site.

That way The ReSporter can keep up this coverage as the fall season looms right around the corner.

The money that is raised through our Advertisers goes to gas money, cost for maintenance for this site, and hopefully enough to put away for just cost of living increases.

If this is not realized, then there is a chance that The ReSporter might close shop before the start of next school year.

Just making it known that letting the Advertisers know that they are seen on this site will certainly help with getting, by word of mouth, other companies to also think about advertising with The ReSporter.

Jerry Besselman has been a face that many fans have seen at any Hawk Sporting event that would involve refreshing your tastes.

The ReSporter went on a search to find someone that might have been to more games and events that wasn’t a player or Coach. Besselman fit that bill as the man behind the counter where you will find liquids or food to keep that Hawk fan strong enough to end the game and yelling on their Hawk team flavor of that event.

The ReSporter had an opportunity to get with Besselman at the end of a Hawk Softball game for a formal introduction to you the fan.

The ReSporter: Hey Jerry are you having fun?

Jerry Besselman: “Yes, I get to be around students and they all know my name.”

The ReSporter: Do they know you as Jerry or Besselman?

Jerry Besselman: “There was a time when Coach Nicole Creek needed to get a hold of me to change a time of a game or something like that and she was wanting to look up my phone number. She could not find me because she knew me by my first name. So yes, I’m thinking most of the students and teachers just know me by my first name.”
