Josh Thomson has done some of everything since joining The Journal News in March 2003. He began working for the Gannett weeklies during the winter of 2002 as a freelance writer. He joined the daily staff soon after and has since covered various high school and pro sports. Away from sportswriting, Josh lives in Westchester and spends his free time either with his fiancee, Sarah, or expertly managing his various championship-winning fantasy sports teams. He's visited 21 major-league baseball stadiums and insists that Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are the best by far. Josh graduated from Carmel High School in 1998, then went to Boston University, where, in 2002, he received a degree in communications with a minor in history.
How is Shields only a second teamer?
That link for the all-state selections has some crazy info. the names might b right but they have coon listed as a senior, and Nora as a guard! what gives?
Not easy picking all state teams. Very unlikely those people making the final decision have actually seen the players they are selecting. Reputation,the school you play for,and how they finish seems to take precedent. If their are twenty better players in the state than Angelie Aguire I will eat my hat. She will be one of the top 50 sought after seniors in the country next year, without a doubt.
WHAT ABOUT LISTING PLAYERS FROM THE OTHER SECTIONS SO WE GET THE FULL PICTURE. i’D LIKE TO SEE WHO SHEILDS IS BEHIND. WHAT GRADE THEY ARE IN WOULD HELP ALSO.
JOSH, ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING A BLOG FOR GIRLS SOFTBALL
THIS SPRING?
XXXXX
ballin’...I feel your pain. My suggestion is to just ignore the positions and the year and check out the name.
XBULLDOG…Click on the link I provided in the post and you can see all the players and how they shook out.
Also, no, I’m not writing a softball blog. I’m doing baseball. However, reporters Tony Pinciaro and Erin Bruehl, who cover softball for us, will have a softball blog.
