Baseball snubbed by voters
You win a District VI Class AAAA championship. You advance all the way to the state semifinals, and lose to what many consider the best team in Pennsylvania, Canon-McMillan. You have, once again, what many believe to be the most historic run in Clinton County. Can’t really tell it by looking at the Mountain League or Central Penn League all-star lists. This is the confusing part to me. One all-star? No second-team selections? Not even an honorable mention? I know 1+1=2, but something doesn’t add up in this scenerio. I’ll be honest. I cover Central Mountain baseball for the newspaper (16 games this season), so I’ve spent a great deal of time with the Wildcats. I know the players; I’ve seen what they’ve done throughout this season. Depending on who you ask, that may make me biased. I think that makes me a little more educated on the topic. In the Mountain League, I’ve seen every team in the Allegheny Division: Bellefonte twice, and Indian Valley, Lewistown and Huntingdon once.

Believe me, this one could have gotten ugly.
Emotions flying high.
The tying run just crossed home plate.
The Central Mountain faithful erupt; the dugout is going absolutely crazy.
An answer for the questions
Maybe we looked into a late-season slump a little too much. Talk about Central Mountain baseball peaking too early was a little premature.

I don’t remember 2005 that well.
I recall certain items. Specific scores. Detailed shots. Kids that just stick out in my mind.
A glance into BEA’s past and present
It’s a holiday season in Wingate.
There’s no turkeys being carved and Frosty the Snowman replicas aren’t being built outside.
Instead, dirt is flying at Doc Etters Memorial Field and the dugouts are full of ballplayers.
Maturity shines in Bulldog dugout
There’s no denying the talent.
A glance at any Jersey Shore baseball boxscore will show it.
Talk with any one of the players, and they all show the signs.
Team unity.
Confidence.
