Jesuit's baseball lineup still stellar, just a bit more anonymous
TAMPA — His fourth voyage to the precipice of prep baseball immortality seems mildly different than the previous three.

Column: Expecting the best at state baseball

Column: Jesuit doesn't skimp on the drama
TAMPA Mason Warren looked up at Daddy on Friday night, a deep look of consternation on his face. He had just watched Leland Saile, one of the Jesuit High baseball players, dump a big old thing of Gatorade — a special mixture by trainer Chris Smith of lemon-lime and grape ...

Region baseball roundup: Durant books first trip to state
DURANT — For the plan to work, Chaz Fowler had to keep the game within striking distance and Durant needed to punish Orlando Timber Creek for pitching around Tyler Danish. So much of the Cougars’ winning formula revolved around Danish on Friday night, from getting him to the mound to ...

HomeTeam Huddle: Whose huddle is it?
The football vernacular is loaded with names — derby, duel, controversy, quagmire — for quarterback competitions. We’re not going to affix any such label to those occurring locally.

Region baseball quarterfinals roundup: King ace keeps his focus
TAMPA — King senior right-hander Brett Morales admits that it sometimes takes him an inning or two to get comfortable on the mound. Once Morales locks in, however, he’s usually unshakable.

HomeTeam Huddle: QB question lingers at Jesuit
TAMPA — All three of Jesuit’s starting quarterback candidates made a splash on Day One, if only by planting their feet on the waterlogged Alumni Field synthetic turf. Clearer skies must prevail before offensive coordinator Chris Taylor gets a read on who his guy will be in 2013, but for ...

District baseball roundup: King relies on its depth
TAMPA — After only a handful of pitches, it was clear Brandon Caples did not — and would not — have his best stuff. The King senior, who came into the game with an 8-0 record and 1.25 ERA, was obviously not his usual self in the District 6A-11 championship ...

VALRICO — Before the district tournament started Monday, Wharton coach Scott Hoffman noticed a funny little quirk about the bracket. It looked awfully familiar.
