Have a great remainder of the season and remember event day is June 4th at Limeport Stadium.

Opening Day

Opening Day for Major League Baseball is this week!
Best time of the year.
We are hoping for another strong Phillies season.

Coaches, be sure to keep an eye out for the Information packets for the Howard E. Deppe All Star Baseball Classic.
Please ask for your designated Senior players to turn in their participation forms to the American Cancer Society as soon as possible.

Please try to obtain event program advertising from local businesses and send that into the American Cancer Society as soon as possible.

March Madness

We here at the Howard E. Deppe All Star Baseball Classic Blog are looking forward to the March Madness Brackets coming out today.
Even though WVU lost in the first round of the Big East Tournament, we feel that WVU can make a strong run in the Tournament starting this week. They have a good defense but are lacking in offensive shooting, so WVU needs some favorable matchups. But, you never know, Bob Huggins is a great coach and he will have the team ready. Remember the great Final 4 Run last year? We do.

The Phillies opening day is approaching quickly. We hope Chase Utley is ready for opening day.

Be sure to look for the player participation mailings coming to the high school coaches in early April. Be sure to ask your friends, local businesses and other organizations in the community to take an advertisement out in the Howard E. Deppe All Star Baseball Classic event program.
Please return advertisement requests to American Cancer Society by the first week in May.
Remember event day is June 4th at Limeport Stadium.

Mailings

Player participation packets will be mailed to the coaches on April 4th.
Coaches are requested to hand out their player participation forms as soon as they can.
Players are requested to return the information to the American Cancer Society by the first week in May.
Also, coaches and players are requested to send in the Event Program advertising information by the first week in May.
Please ask around in your community for businesses, friends and other organizations to take out an advertisement in the event program.
Remember, ALL the money raised by the program is donated directly to the American Cancer Society.

Our event day is June 4th.
Remember to bring all your family and friends to Limeport to attend the event.
Two games and an HR Derby are Scheduled.

Have a great baseball season.

Weather Postponement

The snowy and icy weather caused the winter meeting to be canceled this past Wednesday.
This meeting will not be rescheduled.

Thanks for all your help and I will be contacting you all soon regarding the All Star Classic coming up in June.

Coaching informational packets will be mailed out in early April.
Coaches will receive the event information then and we ask for the program advertisement and player participation forms to be handed out soon after that in order to meet the early May turn in date to the American Cancer Society.

Thanks again and everyone be safe.

Winter Planning Meeting

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Winter Planning Meeting at the American Cancer Society office in Bethlehem on February 2, 2011. Meeting time is 330PM.

Be careful with the winter driving and have a great remainder of the winter.
Spring (and spring training) is not too far off.

How about those WVU Mountaineers making a nice return to the Top 25 in Basketball?
Beating G-town, Providence and Purdue in the last two weeks has lifted the Mountaineers hopes that they can have a successful basketball season this year following their trip to the Final Four last season. Lets Go Mountaineers!

Talk to you soon.
