scholarship from Marist, threw a perfect game in a 2-0 victory over Valley Central a week ago. He was perfect through 20 batters in his first start of the season in Myrtle Beach, against a team playing its 21st game of the season, and settled for a no-hitter.
Extra points: Former Fredonia High standout athlete Jenn Stuczynski set the U.S. women's record in the pole vault Sunday by clearing 15-10 1/2 at the Adidas Track Classic in Carson, Calif. Stuczynski, 25, topped Stacy Dragila's U.S. mark of 15-10 and was the only vaulter over 15 feet in the meet.
Fire early Sunday gutted the auditorium of Garfield High in East Los Angeles, the school that inspired the movie Stand and Deliver. If you've never seen the movie, Edward James Olmos deservedly snared an Oscar nomination for his role. It's worth picking up at the video store.
I spent part of Sunday watching the tape on MSG of Delbarton, N.J., beating Chaminade, 8-7, in a boys lacrosse showdown. About all I can say is, "Wow." Chaminade is a bit hobbled by injuries right now, but the quality of play by both teams was exceptional. (Catch more replays today at 2 p.m. and Tuesday at noon.) Delbarton vs. West Genesee or Huntington would be a game that I'd be willing to pay professional-level ticket prices to watch.
