After writing up the Game of the Week story for the Web on Monday, I was apprised of an oversight by a reader. This, I will admit, is because I have not yet been out to see Maize High play baseball yet. I'm going on Friday, when they meet Wichita Northwest.
Tyler Zimmerman, not mentioned in the game preview, is one of Maize's leading hitters this season. Zimmerman's batting .475, while Nick Cocking's at .493 and Jake Marasco at .426. Zimmerman, Maize's rightfielder, was the first guy coach Rocky Helm brought up when I spoke with him this morning. He's one of the seniors who has provided an unexpected boost to the team this season. Helm had high praise for this senior outfielder.
On another note, I spoke Bob Hovey of Kansas Rivals today, and he's ecstatic about the track and field performances this season. Matt Byers of Wichita East has one of the top javelin throws in the nation this season, yet he's No. 2 in Kansas right now. Also Heights sprinter Audacia Moore and Southeast hurdler Keith Hayes are ranking high nationally. Check out Bob's track and field leader board for the state at hovpen.com.
