Holy Bowl victory 2010

The rivalry between St. Augustine HS and Cathedral Catholic HS in San Diego is huge. I have a lot of friends that go to CCHS, and we really like to beat each other. The sports program at CCHS is enormous, which makes it even more fun when Saints wins.

Last Friday was the annual football match up, and it was big this year as it would determine league champ and playoff rankings. Saints jumped out to an early lead, holding off a late CCHS surge to win 28-21 (details here). It is the first time the Saints football team has beat CCHS since I have been at Saints.

Felt good, and hopefully Saints baseball will have similar success this spring.

Here is a highlights video (Saints in Purple).

Baja baseball

My dad sent me this photo of baseball being played at an area called Turtle Bay that is in Baja California, Mexico. I can only imagine how baked hard that field is.

Race for the Cure San Diego 2010

There aren't too many things that get in the way with my game schedule, but last weekend I was not able to play in my games because I participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure San Diego 2010.

The Susan G. Komen foundation helps raise funds and awareness for breast cancer, and the Race for the Cure is a 5K Run/Walk at Balboa Park. I read where over 15,000 people registered, raising more than $400,000.

My mom is a breast cancer survivor. I am very proud of her and wanted to do the walk with her and my family. There is an incredible amount of energy along the route with all the families and friends. I was glad to have taken a part in it.
