RANCHO SAN DIEGO (7-29-10) — Following the recent
resignation of yet another head coach following a short
tenure, Cuyamaca College has decided to suspend its
women's basketball program for the 2010-11 season.
"We just received official word about placing
the women's basketball team on a
1-year hiatus last Thursday," said MARK WARNER,
the former long-time women's volleyball coach at San
Diego State University who is currently serving as Cuyamaca's
interim director of athletics.
"We will be studying all of the women's sports
programs."
Cuyamaca is going through a variety of personnel changes.
Included will be the naming of a new college president,
a vice president for student services to oversee athletics,
health and physical education, while Warner will direct
the athletics department until the college hires a new
associate dean for athletics.

Reed
selects Oregon
for baseball over football
© East County Sports.com
LA MESA (7-25-10) — Going into his final high school
season multi-talented JAKE REED of Helix High clearly
had a choice for his collegiate future – baseball
or football.
Colleges throughout the nation expressed interest in
the 6-foot-1, 170-pound Reed on both sides of the coin.
The mystery is over. Reed has cast his fate in baseball
and has accepted a scholarship to the University of
Oregon where he will pitch and possibly play some third
base for the Ducks.
“Obviously, there were a lot of factors behind
my decision,” Reed said. “One of the biggest
is a chance to play in the Pac-10. That’s every
kid’s dream.”
Baseball is a relatively new sport in the Pac-10 for
Oregon, which brought the national pastime back to the
Eugene, Ore., campus three years ago. In their initial
year of rebuilding the program the Ducks were a forgettable
14-42 and then erupted to a 40-24 finish last season.
“I like playing football, but I believe my future
is best served by playing baseball,” Reed said.
“No question it was a tough decision giving up
football.”
Reed, however, may keep his toe in football as the
Highlanders kicker and punter.

ESCONDIDO (7-21-10) –– One reason many ballplayers
participate in summer baseball programs is simply to
get in work they failed to receive during the college
season, seeking opportunities to develop and improve.
One such member of the San Diego Stars is relief pitcher
ANTONIO DIAZ, who has made steady improvement in his
19 innings of work. So given the opportunity to start
in Tuesday's (July 20) Western Baseball Association
contest, Diaz may soon be viewed differently by both
collegiate and professional scouts after needing a mere
28 pitches to nail the first nine San Diego Waves batters
through the opening three innings.

NEW YORK (7-23-10) — It quickly became
apparent that SEAN O'SULLIVAN's start Tuesday
(July 20) against the New York Yankees was to
fully demonstrate he was ready to fit into the
rotation for almost any MLB ballclub
Less than 48 hours following his first MLB victory
in a year, O'Sullivan, 22, was one of two pitchers
traded to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for
third baseman Alberto Callaspo, who was sent packing
to the Los Angeles Angels.
O'Sullivan currently owns a career record of
5-2, the same mark as former West Hills High and
San Diego State product STEPHEN STRASBURG.

Wednesday (July 20), with Gardena-Serra senior football

title.
Among Division V athletes, however, it became a 2-horse
battle between one player with a San Diego County connection,
while the other could become a local fixture in the
near future.
In the end, the website selected San Diego Padres draft
selection A.J. Vanegas of Redwood Christian (Castro
Valley) as the Division V honoree, beating out local
basketball standout TROY LEAF of Foothills Christian,
the SDCIF player of the year.
