Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #1 “The parent owns the recruiting process.” THE TRUTH: The prospect owns the recruiting process. Selecting a college is a major life decision and college coaches know that once the player is on campus they will be dealing directly with the player, not Mom and Dad. Coaches want to deal directly with the person they are recruiting, not someone else. KEY TAKEAWAY: If you are a high school baseball player and want to play in college, take ownership of the process and deal directly with the college coach who is recruiting you. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #2 “You must pay an outside scouting service to get a scholarship offer.” THE TRUTH: Very few – if any – prospects receive scholarship offers due to the efforts of an outside scouting service. Scouting services are in the for-profit business of selling their services. KEY TAKEAWAY: Save your money. An outside scouting service is not going to result in a prospect receiving a scholarship offer to play college baseball. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #3 “Your high school season is the most important time for you to be scouted by college coaches.” THE TRUTH: During high school baseball season, college teams are in the middle of their season. Therefore, college coaches don’t have as much time to scout prospects. Furthermore, each college must adhere to the rules and regulations of its governing body (such as the NCAA) and at times, those regulations restrict a coach’s ability to scout and offer scholarships during the high school season. KEY TAKEAWAY: High school baseball season is a time to develop your skills and learn the game. Summer is the season to be scouted. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #4 “Every Division-I player is on scholarship.” THE TRUTH: The above statement is flat-out false. NCAA rules mandate a maximum number of scholarship players on every Division-I roster. Partial scholarships are the norm, not the exception, and it is very common for walk-on players to see significant playing time at the Division-I level. KEY TAKEAWAY: Don’t get discouraged if a Division-I coach tells you he is interested in recruiting you but there very little (or even no) scholarship money available. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #5 “Your play will trump everything else.” THE TRUTH: If you think your play or talent level is the only thing Division- I college coaches look at when evaluating a prospect, you are very misinformed. KEY TAKEAWAY: Getting a Division-I college scholarship offer is about more than just your on-field performance. Work ethic, how you deal with adversity, and accountability are just a few of the many other factors Division-I coaches consider before offering a scholarship to a prospect. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #6 “Your trusted advisor in the recruitment process is someone you are paying.” THE TRUTH: Many times the people you are paying for instruction or coaching have no expertise in the recruiting process. The trusted advisor’s job in the process is to look out for the best interest of the prospect, not cash a check. KEY TAKEAWAY: Find a trusted advisor to help guide you through the process who isn’t helping you because you write them a check. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process. Learn more at DemandCommandAcademy.com Seven Things You Need To Know About College Recruiting Common Misconception #7 “Your high school coach is the most important piece of getting you recruited.” THE TRUTH: In general, your high school coach’s job is to win games. Most high school coaches have the best interest of their players in mind but in no way are they the most important piece of getting you recruited. Most college recruiting is network-based, meaning college coaches utilize their network, not random high school coaches. KEY TAKEAWAY: Your ability to get a baseball scholarship offer hinges on many factors. Your high school coach is a part of the process but by no means the most important piece to you getting recruited. Demand Command Academy is your source for accurate information on what it takes to go from the youth leagues to the big leagues. Learn directly from experts who have lived the process.

Right-hander Parker Dunshee fired 7.1 hitless frames, allowing just one baserunner through the first seven innings. Justin Ferrell made a spot start in place of Forrest Whitley, who was scratched from his Friday assignment. Ferrell tossed two scoreless innings to begin the ballgame. In the third, Astros right-hander Chris Deven- ski allowed a two-run homer to Tyler Ramirez. Ryan Harman entered in the fourth and retired the first nine men he faced. Skye Bolt bucked the trend with a lead-off blast in the seventh for a 3-0 lead. With one on and one out in eighth, the Hounds went to their closer Kyle Finnegan. Two walks loaded the bases but Finnegan struck out Ronnie Dawson to thwart the threat. Corpus Christi’s first hit was a lead-off single by catcher Lorenzo Quintana in the ninth. Randy Cesar followed with a base hit through the right side. Chas McCormick later put the Hooks on the scoreboard by placing an RBI infield single behind second base.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Two years ago John Pruett, Sports Editor of the Huntsville TIMES, wrote what I believe is the only comprehensive survey of the history of sporting activity in the Huntsville area. This survey appeared in twelve segments in the TIMES during May, 1977. It, in Mr. Pruett's words, "was designed to focus on the highlights of the athletic heritage of Huntsville, which has always been one of Alabama's most sports-minded cities." Sports are a part of our lives, a most important segment of popular history, and is certainly a proper subject for study by the historian.
