Recruiting Service evaluation - A LHP/1B who attended LaCosta High School. He has a nice strong build with long limbs and showed solid two-way potential. On the mound...has a low effort delivery and throws with a short arm action. He has an online delivery and his arm works well producing nice armside run on his fastball. His change-up has nice sinking action and he also shows a solid 1 to 7 curveball. Indicates a lot of room for increased velocity. At the plate, he makes consistent contact but can get a little too long in his swing causing other parts of his swing to go array. At first base, he has good feel around the bag with soft hands. He appears to be very comfortable on the field...an above average fielder. A solid student that could attract attention from mid to higher-level college programs in America.

#1 Story of 2011 - A Moment of Silence for Matt Mason
I received this information from a fellow Bearcat, Brian Kever, 1995, about a teammate and Bearcat:
"Matt Mason, who played at NW, gave his life for his country today. He was one of the elite Navy Seals who was shot down in Afghanistan. Please keep his family in your prayers."
Brian cited this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44043847/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/t/us-troops-mostly-elite-navy-seals-killed-afghanistan/
Pray for the Mason family.
