HS News: Playoffs begin
"Baseball is a marathon," or so the saying goes. But once the High School League playoffs start today, it's a sprint to the finish. One false move, one errant miscue, one pressure-packed flub will end your team's chances of winning the title. It could be over in a moment. On the other hand, one swing of the bat or a fastball blown by the last hitter could just as easily send your team parading down Main Street, hoisting a 24-carat gold-studded High School Cup trophy before an adoring crowd. The contending ballclubs are all poised and ready -- the playoffs begin today with several High School Wildcard Series showdowns: 
<Anaheim HS Loons:team#134> versus <New Orleans HS Locomotives:team#142>, <San Francisco HS Sea Lions:team#171> versus <Modesto HS Navigators:team#136>, <Calgary HS Flames:team#174> versus <Houston HS Hornets:team#155> and <Garrettsville HS River Cats:team#152> versus <Wasco HS War Lords:team#151>.
