Commentary On The Film Devil's Playground
Noah Dent steps up to the plate, waiting for a pitch that could possibly decide the game. He concentrates solely on the ball and watches the pitcher wind up and launch the pitch, knowing that the game was on him.
He swings and makes contact, a grounder for a routine out was the outcome, giving Excelsior Charter of Victorville the victory over the Santa Clarita Christian Cardinals in the CIF-Southern Section Division VII championship game.

However, they have something much different in mind this year. Vengeance.
“Losing in the finals really turned out to be fuel on the fire. It motivated me to work harder because we were so close.” Said ace pitcher Noah Peterson.

Let’s be honest the kid’s a force, that’s the reason when Dent’s name is brought up around his teammates the word “talent” always seems to describe him.
Clint’s shoes aren’t the only ones to be filled as the Cardinals would also lose starting short-stop Luke Orona and Golden Valley transfer Tripp Bowers, who is a pitcher. The two won’t be on the Cardinal’s roster in the 2016 season due to school violations.
The question people are asking is “Why are the Cardinals so good?” playing against schools in higher divisions has a lot to do with that. This year Moss has managed to schedule what would be the Cardinals first game against Saugus High School, which would also be their first time playing against a Foothill league team. Cardinals would also play teams like University prep, Little Rock, Viewpoint, and Dunn High-school.

    Zack Wheeler for Starlin Castro? Noah Syndergaard for Javier Baez? Jake deGrom for Addison Russell? No, no and no. Despite what appears to be a “match made in heaven” fit between the pitching-rich Mets and the shortstop-laden Cubs, the Cubs have shown little interest in moving any of their three high profile infielders. But what about their other shortstop, the guy nobody ever seems to talk about?…

    As their article does an in-depth look in relations to college football it can be applied to the high school level as well. The question stated is will a college team benefit from a new coach; however, one can ask the same for a small private high school on Long Island. As St. Dominic’s in Oyster Bay completed their third year in their league there were several murmurs if their coaching staff should be replaced. The coaching staff at St. Dominic’s has completed their third season and despite a post-season berth, the on-field performance was still below the expectations of parents, players, and some of the administration at the high school. However, entering the fourth season the athletic director has decided to continue with the same staff as he believes finding a new coach in the team’s fourth season would be detrimental to his program. The current article provided support for the athletic director’s decision as Adler, Berry, and Doherty provided proof through their college…

    The server on the other team once again threw the ball into the air. This time, my teammate sprawled for the ball, and made a perfect pass to me, allowing me to set the ball and have my co-captain smash it to the ground. I looked once again at the faces of my teammates. Things were different now. I knew at once that they knew what I knew. We were the winners of that game. We remembered that at that point, and were assured of it when the referee blew the final whistle after I served an ace on game point.…
