 Against the Harrells Christian Academy Crusaders’ varsity baseball team, West Brunswick sophomore Khyne Daniels threw a complete-game three-hit shutout as the West junior varsity won 3-0 Monday morning in the Touchstone Energy Beach Diamond Invitational.

Junior golf is fabulous and fun to watch. Their swings are so fluid and flexible and they play with such enthusiasm and gusto. When a junior golfer hits a great shot, you can see the result all over her or his face and in the body English.  
On April 9-10, the American Junior Golf Association came to St. James to play a pre-season event on the Founders Course. I was there for the Sunday round, hobnobbing with the kids and their parents, observing the hard work performed by a 50-member cadre of volunteers.
