Cal Poly Sports Blog: 4 wins + 4 days = Big Dance
http://calpolysportsblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/4-wins-4-days-big-dance.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2008. 4 wins 4 days = Big Dance. The sixth-seeded Cal Poly men’s basketball team (12-17, 7-9) will try to pull off the unthinkable this week, winning four games in four days to advance to its first NCAA Tournament. The Mustangs open the tournament Wednesday night against seventh-seeded UC Riverside (8-20, 4-12) in the first round at the Anaheim Convention Center. But hey, a sixth seed has won this thing before. Don’t believe it? Posted by Brian Milne. On the flip side, Cal Poly fans pr...

Cal Poly Sports Blog: It 'wasn’t a pretty game to watch'
http://calpolysportsblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/it-wasnt-pretty-game-to-watch.html
Thursday, March 13, 2008. It 'wasn’t a pretty game to watch'. Finally, it’s over. Instead of this prolonging a season filled with putrid shooting performances – from the arc, from the paint and from the line – the Cal Poly men’s basketball team made an early exit from the Big West Tournament on Wednesday. It was the only upset of the day. UC Riverside head coach Jim Woolridge probably put it best, saying it “wasn’t a pretty game to watch.”. No it wasn’t. What SoCal basketball fans missed was Cal PolyR...

High School Sports Blog: CIF State Track: The Video
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/cif-state-track-video.html
Wednesday, June 04, 2008. CIF State Track: The Video. After reviewing the raw footage I took at this past weekend's track meet, I decided most of it was pretty boring. So instead of posting it all, I spruced it up with some music and production value. I also took this nice photo of Tonie Williams standing with her CIF State medal (She placed sixth in the 400). Enjoy! 2008 CIF Track and Field Championships. Posted by Joshua D. Scroggin. I liked the picture in the paper better! CIF State Track: The Video -.

High School Sports Blog: June 2008
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. SLO High baseball trio get scholarships. Word from the "Bloggin' with." pipeline is that San Luis Obispo High seniors Darren Mullen, Dan Howell and Robby Nadalsky have all inked letters of intent to play baseball at NCAA Division I schools next year. Mullen, the PAC 7 MVP and single-season Tigers record-holder for RBI, seemed resigned to attend either Palomar or Cuesta College next year. Not so, in the end. Three guys from one team signing with D-I schools? Links to this post.

High School Sports Blog: December 2007
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2007. It's become clear to me the past few months how powerful the typed word can be around here. It seems like every other week there's a prep sports team feeling overlooked or undervalued in the public sphere. Such and such team was not featured in The Tribune this week! How dare that Scroggin? I've come to terms with the sentiment. It's a fact of life that every team in every sport cannot be mentioned in every story. And since The Tribune's coverage already produces so much bulle...

High School Sports Blog: March 2008
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 15, 2008. The Mission Prep girls basketball team fell 51-39 to Ross Branson in the Division V State Championship game at Arco Arena in Sacramento on Saturday morning. As I sit here typing this, the Branson boys are beating Renaissance Academy 38-31 and are looking to make the Bulls a double winner for the second year in a row. The Branson girls were amazing. They were tall, athletic, fast. It was a tough game for the Royals, who were down by 19 at one point in the third quarter. What do y...

High School Sports Blog: November 2007
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. Nope, I haven't spoken with the former Paso Robles High basketball phenom in a while, but a reporter at the Lexington Herald-Leader recently did a story on a recent surgery that's kept him off the court for Kentucky. You can read it here. Preseason reports had Jasper working on his outside shot and primed for a breakout season this year. It seemed as though coming back from microfracture surgery in the offseason was more like an afterthought. Posted by Joshua D. Scroggin. You a...

High School Sports Blog: Leftovers from the year in sports
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/leftovers-from-year-in-sports.html
Monday, July 07, 2008. Leftovers from the year in sports. Since I'm going to be shifting over to another blog on another beat, I thought I'd empty my cache on this one. The past year has brought some great behind the scenes sights and sounds. Here are a couple I didn't share from San Luis Obispo High. Going all the way back to football season, here's a shot of linebacker Nate Egan and his smashed up nose. I remember writing about it in a story, but the photo was kept hidden. until now! I 2nd that. Fo...

High School Sports Blog: Where would you like to see Derrick Jasper?
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/where-would-you-like-to-see-derrick.html
Wednesday, June 04, 2008. Where would you like to see Derrick Jasper? Talking to former Paso Robles basketball star Derrick Jasper yesterday, it seemed pretty clear he was carefully weighing his options since deciding to transfer from Kentucky. He'll have to sit out a year if he transfers to an NCAA Division I university, but he'll also have two additional years of eligibility (and a redshirt year if necessary) once he sits out. He never mentioned Cal Poly, which is as close to home as you can get, but J...

High School Sports Blog: January 2008
http://slocohighschoolsportsblog.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Nah, don't blame them. I got an e-mail today from a reader who took exception to a comment by North County Christian basketball player Kirk Sheplay in the latest Athlete of the Week story. Sheplay said it was one of the Crusaders' team goals to score 100 points in a game this season, and after scoring in the 80s and 90s no fewer than six previous times, they did it in a 103-18 win over Shandon last week. But in the case of NCC, I have to admit that even I allowed the thought ...
