The Hawks will send John Barker to the mound. Barker, a senior who will try to walk on as a placekicker at Ohio State next year, threw 164 pitches last Saturday in Xaverian's win over BC High. He is also the leadoff hitter and is batting .476 in the tournament.

Despite his talents on the mound, Barker, an Avon resident originally from Naples, Fla., has football on his mind. The No. 22-ranked high school kicking specialist (including punters and kickers) in the country according to Rivals.com, Barker will forget about baseball and walk on at Ohio State University in the fall.

"It was a tossup, either baseball or football," said Barker, who was the South placekicker in Friday night's Shriners All-Star football game. "Then I visited Ohio State and watched the spring game there and I pretty much fell in love."

That sounds more reasonable in light of the scholarship offers to Trapasso, Skeete and Pettrey.
