experienced,” he said.
Bollier will be coaching along with
former Baylor University coach Dave
Bliss. Bliss resigned from Baylor in
2003 after his involvement in mak
ing illicit tuition payments for mur
dered Baylor basketball star Patrick
Dennehy.
“He has got a black eye in college
basketball,” Bollier said. “He abso
lutely hit the bottom of the barrel. To
work for someone that has been at
the highest and the lowest will be a
huge learning experience for me. He’s
a great guy. When you are at the top
and go to the bottom and work your
way back up, that is something to
learn from.”
Learning from other coaches is one
of Bollier’s primary reasons for par
ticipating in the AIA program.
“I’m just going to try to be a sponge
and absorb as much as I can and also,
obviously contribute, but learn and
grow from this,” he said.
When not playing in the Jones
cup, Bollier’s AIA team plans to visit
schools and orphanages and conduct
some mini clinics.
“The other part of our goodwill is to
go out and share with the folks some
character development and share a
BOLLIER
little love with them,” he said.
Bollier said the experience is
rewarding, but will also be very valu
able in terms of his work as a high
school coach. For Bollier and his
staff, basketball is a year round activ
ity. Player and coach development
takes place all year.
“There’s no question about that,” he
said. “It definitely is twelve months
that we’re involved in something with
basketball. We want the program to
continue to grow and hopefully every
thing we’re doing is in that direc
tion.”
BASEBALL — continued from page 1B
solo home run from Putkonen in the
bottom of the fourth to tie the game
one all. With Daniel Ficarrotta on first
and two outs, Ryan Mitzel hit a line
drive to the left field wall. Ficarrotta
scored on a costly Mill Creek error
giving the Raiders a 2-1 lead heading
into the fifth.
Mill Creek evened the score quickly
in the top of the fifth. With runners on
second and third, Sam Davis bunted
to send pinch runner Jordan Gauthier
home. Mill Creek scored twice on the
play when a Walton error gave Travis
Hammond the opportunity to cross
home plate.
Leading 3-2 with two outs, Mill
Creek set up another score with a sin
gle from Hunter Pope. Jacob German
then knocked one out of the park to
give the Hawks a 5-2 lead.
Walton fought back in the bottom
of the inning. After singles from Billy
Burns and Alex Sherrod, Spencer
Kieboom hit a double to get both run
ners home making the score 5-4.
Jones pulled Grimes out of the
game and brought in relief pitcher
Tyler Akins to finish the inning.
With runners on first and second
and two outs, a throwing error by
the Hawks allowed Walton to tie the
game 5-5.
Walton began the sixth inning with
a pitching change, bringing in Alex
Sherrod to replace Kyle Putkonen.
Sherrod struck out the first Mill Creek
batter and walked the second to bring
Johnny Knight to the plate. Knight
came through for the Hawks in a big
way, hitting his eleventh home run of
the season to give Mill Creek a 7-5
lead.
Walton was not able to mount any
more offense and Mill Creek held on
to win game two.
Jones said Knight has been a big
help to the Hawks offensively.
“He has been on fire. He has carried
us for a while,” Jones said.
Though the Hawks and Raiders had
sixteen hits between them, the three
Walton errors and one Mill Creek
error were big factors in the final
score.
“These are 16, 17 year old kids,”
Jones said. “They make mistakes.
These are two good programs. It was
good baseball I thought.”
GAME THREE
After a scoreless first inning, Walton
took a 1-0 lead in the second with a
solo home run by Daniel Ficarotta.
Mill Creek tied the score in the
fourth when a double by Johnny
Knight sent a runner home. It was
to be the Hawks’ only score of the
night.
Walton’s Ficarotta doubled in the
fourth inning to drive in another run
and give the Raiders a 2-1 lead. By
the end of the inning, Walton had
scored twice more to extend their lead
to 4-1.
The Raiders scored four more unan
swered runs over the next two innings
to secure the 8-1 victory and advance
to the next round of playoff action.
Walton will face Camden County in
the third round of the state playoffs
this week.
Jones said his team played hard
Friday night and got some good pitch
ing from Cody Clickner.
“He started off good. He threw the
ball extremely well. I actually thought
he was going to have the opportunity
to either shut them out or hold them to
a run,” he said.
“It just wasn’t our day. The kids
played hard, but the better team won
that day.”
