THE JEFFERSON VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR NEXT SEASON By: Ryan Mylod

Image taken by Geoff Magliocchetti , The Jefferson Chronicle The Jefferson Township High School Varsity Baseball Team had a successful season this past year, making it to the Elite Eight in the crazy and unique last dance tournament. It was a great event and new experience for Jefferson, playing teams they never played and making every game more important than ever. Once your team lost a game, your season was over. With the 2020-21 season fast approaching, how will Jefferson be as good as last season, losing Zack Roskowsky, John Knox, and Justin Cece who are key players on the Jefferson squad? The team hopes to continue with their success, as one of the players has high hopes for the upcoming season. I asked Tyler Ruban, a Varsity baseball player that is a Senior this upcoming season, some questions about next season and how Jefferson was so successful last season. Ruban is a Varsity baseball player on Jefferson who is a prominent infielder that loves the game. I asked him ...

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: HOW THE NEW YORK KNICKS PLAN TO SHAKE THINGS UP THIS OFFSEAASON By: Daniel Connolly

Photograph by Corey Sipkin Welcome to year five of the New York Knickerbockers’ rebuild. It’s been a long half-decade for James Dolan and his Knicks ever since their last playoff appearance in the fabled 54-win 2013 season, amassing a grand total of one appearance south of the 11-seed in the Eastern Conference in that span (including two last-place finishes). Since that season, six head coaches have come and gone, two general managers were given the axe (as well as long-time president Steve Mills) and three “franchise-saviors,” Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis, fled for their lives and two of them never even glanced back - more on that later. Where are they now? Well, things have changed. The cross-town rival Brooklyn Nets are the big cheese in the big apple, with former New York free-agency hopefuls Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving dodging the dumpster-fire in Madison Square Garden and signing max deals to pl...

Mattingly Manager of the Year By Jason Taylor

Theathletic.com Not a single soul connected to baseball can argue that Don Mattingly is the 2020 manager of the year. All due respect to the other managers who led their teams to great records and deep playoff runs like Dave Roberts of the Dodgers and Jayce Tingler of the Padres but neither of them could do what Mattingly did. The 2020 Miami Marlins were destined for their 11th straight losing season especially after a COVID outbreak, 174 roster moves, injuries, a difficult schedule and overall just a subpar team. Some people will call it luck or a one year wonder but those are just angry fans who saw their teams get beat this year. Mattingly led his team of young undeveloped players to the playoffs by simply letting them play baseball. He let his speedsters steal bases not worried if they were going to be thrown out. He changed his pitchers about as frequently as he could so his arms wouldn't get tired when the Fish had to play 28 games in 24 days. Mattingly’s a...
