...thought you might enjoy a couple of action shots of Ben showing he also knows how to use his hands, not just his legs. He just concluded a great Senior campaign on the diamond with the Warhawks , leading a young Central team to the most victories ever in a season and a District tournament seeding. In 2008, he led the Hawks in batting average (.372), doubles (12), home runs (2), RBI's (25), as well as total hits, slugging percentage and on base percentage. Pitching in the crucial league games, he also led all pitchers in complete games and strike outs (46). In 2007, he also set a record for most double plays in a single season (15) at second base. He is the school's only four year Letterman in both baseball and football, starting every Varsity game in both sports for the past four years. This past week he was selected by his opposing Division 1 coaches to the 1st Team All Ohio Capital Conference Baseball Team and is up for District honors as well.
In the 2008 District Tournament (and the final two games of his baseball career), Ben pitched another complete game victory, surrendering only 1 earned run with 10 K's in a first round 5-4 triumph against OCC rival Central Crossing. For the tournament, he went 5 for 8 (.625) at the plate with 3 doubles. In the second round game, he went 3/5 (.600) at the plate against the fire-balling lefty, Justin Warrington from Watkins Memorial, who is one of Ohio's best pitchers and a future 1st round MLB draftee.
All the while, he has been training for the Big 33 Classic next month in Hershey, Pa. Ben will graduate on June 7th with an Honors Diploma as an eight-time Scholar-Athlete.

Keep Ben Buchanan in your thoughts...
Ben is doing well after having his appendix removed. He actually practiced with acute appendicitis before being admitted to the hospital. Tough kid.
Get well soon Ben.
