    one of my best friends Jon Willard called me last night and told me he hit a homerun for the USA Junior Pan Am team (?) the other day. I also noticed that Daniel Bard is on the team and pitching well. You can read about them on the usabaseball website.

    its always good to see guys you know representing the U.S.

    Hey JM .....

    Jon Willard is one of the bashers from Green Hope, but most people for over here in the western part of the state haven't seen him. Give us some details if you can. I know he's signed to play at USC next year, but that's about it.

    Give us the scoop

    I've known Jon since he moved here back at the end of 8th Grade. He can mash a baseball. He's hit a number of balls that I'll never forget. He is also real fast on the bases. At USC I think he will be more of a DH, or 3B/OF. Defense isn't his strong point, but he can be solid in the field. He hits the baseball though... and has a great eye. He gets walked a lot... he does get walked intentionally a lot, but he also gets walked by havin a good eye.

    Baseball will definently carry Jon a long way. Hopefully he will be back in a week or so to help us in the playoffs. We miss his offensive attack.
