Baseball update

Auburn won its first two games at LSU this weekend, and will go for the series sweep today. The streak isn't long enough to consider true improvement ... but recall that I told you all a few days ago that the team had enough talent to be pretty good. I'm still predicting a trip to Hoover.

Tip of the hat to the Tigers' top starters, Paul Burnside and Taylor Thompson, who both played prep ball in Montgomery. Infielder Joseph Sanders, a Millbrook native, has been a steadying influence in the middle of Auburn's batting order lately.

Remember the old days when Bobby Huddleston was the only Tri-County kid up there? Coach Tommy Slater said Montgomery/Prattville/Millbrook was loaded with talent, and he's proving that theory right now.




ON THE NON-AUBURN TIP
:
We here at JGT Headquarters are happy (but not surprised) to see Tennessee F Candace Parker win the Wooden Award as the nation's best player. She is the best women's player I've ever seen, and is capable of making a difference at all five positions. She can dunk. She's appropriately intense. She's just tremendous.

She's also tone of the hottest athletes on the planet. Right up there with Florida volleyball player Kari Klinkenborg.

May or may not add anything for you, but she's also a bright and introspective gal.

A true star.
