It's nice to see local prepsters drink from the victory cup

Don't tell anyone this, but I wasn't a great athlete growing up.

A sportswriter who couldn't play the game? Shocking, I know.

Again, just between you and me, I remember my dad telling me about the time he was playing in the outfield on his little league baseball team. As he was chasing after a pop fly his cap came flying off his head, so he turned and went after it.

Prep soccer: Darts punch ticket to 5-A final with another shutout

WOODS CROSS — As the missed scoring opportunities started to pile up, Davis coach Souli Phongsavath started to get nervous. His Darts were nursing a 1-0 lead, the clock drawing close to expiration, and Copper Hills was on the attack.

In the end, though, Phongsavath’s fears were assuaged, as the Darts’ single goal was enough to send them past the Grizzlies and into Thursday’s state 5-A championship against Brighton at 7 p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium.
