Pistol Pete chooses ASU
© East County Sports.com
EL CAJON (7-2-09) Valhalla High coach STEVE SUTTON
has tagged his nationally renowned quarterback PETE
THOMAS with the moniker Pistol Pete.
No one is actually sure why the veteran Norseman coach
has chosen to hang that handle on his premier passer,
but Thomas was firing bullets with pinpoint accuracy
during his junior season during Suttons second
year at calling the plays.
Coming off his junior season when he passed for 3,159
yards and 28 touchdowns on 246-of-360 accuracy, Thomas
attracted college scouts by the dozens. He was offered
recruiting trips by the handfuls, but made actual official
visits to Boston College, Maryland, Northwestern, Colorado
State and Arizona State. He also was accepted at Harvard.

need another
'three' in tournament

BARONA INDIAN RESERVATION (7-3-09) You know how,
as the saying goes, things seem to often come in threes?
The San Diego-Barona Stars received home runs from
three players, while a trio of other teammates combined
on a 5-hit shutout, as the Stars pasted the visiting
South Bay (Carson) Saints, 11-0, in Thursday's (July
2) opening round of the National Baseball Congress'
Western Regionals, held at Stars Field. The tournament
winner earns a berth to the NBC World Series in Wichita,
Kan., in August.
The pitching was domintaed by starter MELVIN BLACKMON,
who blanked the Saints for five strong innings. JASON
BROWN yielded only a bloop single in his two innings,
then EDDIE PRYOR bounced back from a rough start in
his last outing with a solid effort in the 8th inning.
Pryor coaxed an inning-ending, double play grounder,
which ended the ballgame via the run rule.
