Boys baseball All Stars from Collinwood HIgh School

The Collinwood Boys’ Baseball team had a good season for the 2009-2010 school year. The team coach, Mr. Iteyem, coached a decent record of 6 wins -5 losses for the Senate and 8-9 for the whole season. The top players on the team were Richard Dortch, Demario Agee, and Patrick Hython. Richard’s stats were 21 hits, 16 RBI’s, 8 doubles, and11 stolen bases. Demario’s stats were 13 hits, 17 RBI’s, 2 homeruns, and 13 stolen bases. Patrick’s stats were 20 hits, 21 RBI’s 5 doubles, and 17 stolen bases. Jalen McCoy was the team star in the outfield with some great catches. David Harris was the team star catcher who caught everything that came his way. Aaron Cole was the star first baseman who got everybody out.           

On Thursday June 3rd, the All Stars from each team in the Senate (Rhodes, Lincoln West, South, East, East Tech, John, Hay, John Marshall, John Adams, JFK, Max Hayes, Glenville, and Collinwood) went to Progressive Field to get awards for their All Star year. The All-Stars from Collinwood were Richard Dortch and Patrick Hython. The players and their coaches were present for the ceremony that started at 11:30am and was televised on Fox Sport Network OH.           

The program started with all the girls’ softball All Stars, then they called the boys' baseball All Stars and followed by announcing the MVPs of the League.

After the awards ceremony, the Championship game of the Senate was played between the undefeated, Lincoln West, and the defensive Rhodes. With a score of 10 to 8, Rhodes won and broke Lincoln West’s undefeated season. This was a good year for Rhodes and we hope next year Collinwood can be in their position.
