      <comment>North Catholic High School's (Pittsburgh, PA) boys basketball team has 4 family members starting for them.  They all have the same last name &quot;Long&quot; and two of them are brothers (Matthew and Martin).  The head coach Dave Long is the father of Joseph and the cousin of the three is Jesse.  They currently are undefeated at 12-0.  The NC girls team has a cousin of the Long's (Lauren Savulchak) and is the teams leading scorer.  Two Longs graduated two years ago and another is on the way next season.</comment>

      <comment>Do you guys think college football can still have the polls up until the bowl games. Then they can use the bowl games as playoffs to the championship game.  SO we still have the regular season drama with the polls we still have bowl games and we have playoffs. </comment>

      <comment>I play for the CCA Falcons of the HWSA league, located in Huntsville,
we have two freshmen throwing in the high 80's. One plays for Dulins Dodgers in Memphis, I am sure you are familiar with that team.

Our league is spread out all over the south. I batted second last year (my sophomore year) and in 107 Ab's, i batted over .400</comment>
