“I feel real comfortable at Ohio State, both with the coaches and the players. I would love to play football and baseball in Columbus. Ohio State is my leader and I'm hoping they will offer me a scholarship. It just seems like the right place for me but I'm checking out a lot of different schools to see what they have to offer.”


sounds promising...i know he is a buckeye at heart and this just proves it

Hes also a high school kid. Im in high school, and I cant even explain how tough it would be too pick one. Running out of the tunnel into the 'Shoe with 105,000 fans going crazy...or looking at a check knowing you'll probably never have to work a minute the rest of your life.

Canton Rep

4/30

CANTON TWP. - The Alliance High School baseball team didn’t just bounce back Thursday at Canton South. The Aviators literally swung back with bad intentions.
Alliance scored 13 runs in the fifth and sixth innings to run-rule South, 14-3, and regain sole possession of first place in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference.
Second-year coach Jeff Graffice was interested to see how his team would respond after being shut down Wednesday by South’s Justin Gill in a game the Wildcats grabbed a share of the NBC lead. His answer was a 12-hit attack in which six separate Aviators (13-3, 8-2) had two RBIs to back-up a solid outing by starting pitcher Andrew Hendershot.
“I know we got a bunch of hard-nosed kids that don’t like to lose, but tonight really showed that they’re competitors,” Graffice said. “You’re going to win some, and you’re going to lose some, but you have to show up and compete in high school baseball, because anything can happen.
“A perfect example is tonight. If you would have told me we’d beat them, 14-3, I’d say you’re a darn liar.”
The truth hurt for South coach Phil Forshey, whose team fell to 10-7 overall and 7-3 in the NBC.
“They outplayed us emotionally, they outplayed us defensively and they outplayed offensively,” Forshey said. “For whatever the reason, we were flat. ... It doesn’t matter who you are, every night you have to prove it on the field.”
After being no-hit for the first three innings, Alliance catcher Ryan Nordquist slammed the first pitch of the fourth over the rightfield wall for his third home run of the year. South starter Ronnie May (2-3) got out of the inning with no more damage, but it was apparent the Aviators were getting in a groove.
In the fifth, Alliance’s Courtland Brown doubled and then trotted home when Ronnie Hull drilled his first homer of the season. Coty Bates later followed with an RBI groundball, and Sebastian Hudacheck knocked in two with a double.
The rout was on.
“We got hot late in the game (Wednesday), but is was too little, too late,” said Nordquist, who scored three runs and played a fine game behind the plate. “We just fed off that. ... We were all hitting today. A lot of guys broke out of slumps.”
The Aviators kept it rolling in the sixth with seven more runs. Brad King, Nordquist, Bates, Drew Burson and Brown all had RBIs.
With Ohio State defensive backs coach Tim Beckman in attendance to watch him, South’s Devon Torrence hit what looked like a pop-up to right in the fifth. The ball kept carrying until it cleared the wall for an opposite-field homer — the All-Ohioan’s third of the season.
That was really the only mistake in an otherwise solid afternoon by Hendershot, a junior lefty. Using a big curve and a variety of other pitches that danced around the zone, Hendershot struck out seven in 52/3 innings as he moved to 3-0.
“When he keeps the ball in the strike zone and keeps it low, he’s tough,” Graffice said.
Hull, King, Nordquist, Bates, Hudacheck and Burson each finished with two RBIs, while King, Nordquist, John Schleuder and Brown had two hits apiece.
