Last Day To Play In May

Shane Hoelscher (1 HR, double and single, 3 RBIs)

From 2010 04 HS Baseball

Three of the Richardson ISD high school baseball teams achieved their season goal to make the UIL state playoffs and "Play in May." Berkner and Richardson made it to the second round (Area). Saturday, the Lake Highlands Wildcats baseball team lost 5-1 to Belton High School in the third round (Regional Quarterfinal), bringing an end to this year's great season for the RISD team that made it deepest into the playoffs.

The player of the game was Belton's Shane Hoelscher, whose home run, double, single and three RBIs provided all the firepower Belton needed to advance to the Regional Semifinal round next weekend against the winner of the Klein Collins - Spring series. By the way, Hoelscher is committed to playing for Rice University next year. Go Owls!

Pete Sessions' NRCC "Needs Proctology Exam"

Tuesday was election day in a few states, not Texas, but one story has a north Texas connection. Besides the primary elections, there was a special election in Pennsylvania's 12th District to fill the Congressional seat left vacant by the death of Congressman John Murtha. The head of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which oversees GOP electoral strategy nationally, is none other than Richardson's own Congressman Pete Sessions.
