Bonnie Richardson runs track for little Rochelle High School, in addition to playing basketball and tennis.
Over the weekend, Bonnie competed in the Texas 1A state track & field championship. In fact, Bonnie was the only one from her team to qualify for state. I wonder if they let her drive the bus? Read more…
On the heels of winning a state championship in basketball, Jeannette High School senior Terrelle Pryor said that he would finally make an announcement on which college he would attend next fall.
Pryor, arguably the nation’s No. 1 high school football recruit, made headlines when he declined to make that decision on National Signing Day last February, leaving his finalists, Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, and Penn State, flapping in the proverbial breeze.
The BANGOR DAILY NEWS has the story of a Maine high school basketball player who’s back on the court after surviving the loss of his hand:
Sean Daniels was a key member of the Easton Bears varsity squad. But in October, the junior’s left hand & forearm were crushed in a farming accident. Although doctors tried to save his arm, an infection had set in, and there was no choice but to amputate.
Daniels was hospitalized for 12 days, going through six surgeries. He eventually returned to school, but was not given medical clearance to return to the varsity team.
Instead of letting the injury end his basketball career, Daniels joined the junior varsity squad, finally getting back on the court on December 15. In his first two games, Sean was the team’s leading scorer both times. And in Easton JV’s last contest, Daniels nailed a game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation, allowing the Bears to eventually win in double OT.
Sean is eyeing a return to the varsity roster, hopefully by mid-January. And he’ll have plenty of support in the stands when he comes back. Not too soon after his accident, the Easton community organized a benefit dinner that raised over $7,000 to help pay for Sean’s medical expenses.
Most of all, he’s just happy to be on the court again: “Basketball is one of the biggest things in my life. I was afraid I was going to lose it this year, so I’m pretty glad that I got it back.”
LIKE NFL GEAR, ROMO HIGH SCHOOL JERSEY BIG SELLER: Already the owner of the best selling jersey in the NFL, Tony Romo now has a new merchandise market to conquer - high school:
 |
WTMJ in Milwaukee reports that requests have been pouring in to buy the jersey the Cowboys QB wore during his playing days at Burlington High School in Wisconsin.Burlington AD Eric Burling (how apt) said that in the week leading up to Thursday night’s Dallas-Green Bay clash, jersey sales reached several thousand dollars.
 |
Createch is offering the black Burlington #16 jerseys online for $60 a pop. Unfortunately, demand has been so high, that all sales are back-ordered until December 27. Guess fans in Big D will have to find another Christmas gift idea.

While Romo’s gear is quite styling, we believe the best high school apparel comes from Watersmeet, MI - home of the Nimrods.
