Many times the difference between reaching goals and coming up short is found in the inability to listen to the advice or the unwillingness to follow through.  Jacob Ray, a 2021 graduate out of Southern Alamance High School in Graham, NC, seems to have both of those attributes at his disposal as he has repeatedly…

 Events tend to happen right on time for some people. Everything from the opportunities and places that are experienced, to the people with whom one interacts. Many times the transpiring of moments be seen in retrospect as being exactly how it was supposed to be. After hearing Hamilton Andrews, a 2020 outfielder out of Broughton…

  Seeing events unfold before they take place is something Pete Maldonado takes pride in being able to do. No, Pete isn’t a psychic, nor does he work at a carnival, but as a 2021 uncommitted catcher out of Heritage High School in Wake Forest, NC, he finds plenty of benefit in being able to…

Sometimes it seems that certain events were just meant to be.

But that is what a person might say when they’ve made a decision to take a path, and that path proves to be monumental…

People who have their priorities set seem to make sense of the journey in front of them as it’s happening.  Those folks are what one might call “squared away” – they may seem matter of fact but in essence they just get the process.  Include 2021 left-handed pitcher, Isaac Fix from William Byrd High School…

  Making life decisions are often hard.  But when a person has tremendous confidence in themselves and the opportunity made available, everything seems to come together.  Recently, Cole Thompson committed to William Peace University. The 2020 outfielder out of Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh called it a “life decision.” Right-handed hitter who can patrol…

   People are always looking for opportunities to get to where they want to go and reach what they want to achieve.  Many times, the windows and doors are right under their noses and they fail to recognize them.   That is not true for Tyler Parks, the 2023 uncommitted middle infielder out of Southwestern Randolph…
