ECC Student Athletes Recognized Within Region 16
5/26/2023
Several East
Central College student athletes were recognized for their talent within the
National Junior College Athletic Association Region 16.
Taylor Hanger,
Pacific, a pitcher in her second year at ECC was named to the all-region first
team.
Hanger led the
Falcons throughout the regular season and into the post season, playing the
last 12 games of the season with a slight fracture in her glove hand. She even
pitched some of her best games with the injury, according to Dr. Jay Mehrhoff,
ECC athletic director.
“It was
difficult for her to swing the bat, but the coaches in NJCAA Region 16 noticed
her talent and named her first-team all-region,” he said.
Hanger, a
nursing major from Pacific High School, was an NJCAA Academic All-American and
the ECC Female Scholar Athlete Scholar Athlete her freshman year at ECC.
“Hanger has had
a tough balance in her last semester but has managed to be successful in all
aspects of being a student athlete at the intercollegiate level,” Mehrhoff
added.
She ended the
regular season with a 12-8 record striking out 77 batters. Her grit and
determination were not always evident as she would be all business when she was
in the circle pitching for the Falcons.
Region
Player of the Year
ECC Baseball
Falcon Shane Kearbey, O’Fallon, Mo., was named the Region Player of the Year by
the NJCAA Region 16 DII coaches’ vote. Kearbey, a left-handed pitcher, had a
fantastic regular season going 5-1, pitching 61.1 innings and striking out 68
batters with a 2.39 ERA, Mehrhoff said.
Kearbey graduated
from ECC May 13 with an Associate of Arts degree in Business. He graduated from
Francis Howell High School in 2021.
Rounding out
the first team all-region selections for the Falcons were two outfielders,
Luciano Terilli, and Trey Orman.
“Terilli gave
opposing batters nightmares with his good glove patrolling center field making
spectacular plays,” Mehrhoff said. “His at the plate and defensive approach to
the game made him an all-around player.
“Orman had his
best season in college leading the Falcons in doubles with 12 and hit 4 home
runs driving in 24 runs on the year,” he added.
The NJCAA
Region 16 DII All-Defense team included Terilli along with Cameron Leach and
Andy Hueste. Leach was a formidable outfielder with his glove and led the team
with 22 stolen bases.
Hueste was
injured early in the season but found his glove and bat heating up at the end
of the season with 24 hits and some great plays from second base and shortstop
positions.
ECC selections
to second-team all-region were Seth Shannon (.341 batting average), DeVon
Jennings (5 home runs), Mario Colombo (.316 batting average), Will DesHotels
(2-2, 44 strikeouts), Billy Underwood (2.69 ERA), and Hayden Steelman. All six
were starters and contributed to the team’s success throughout the season, both
at the plate and from the mound.

MLB
5/20/2023
Friday-Progress for Cardinals left-hander Steven Matz continues to come incrementally, with his quest for his first win in an MLB start in 10 months once again coming up short.
Matz didn’t allow an earned run over 4 2/3 innings in the Cardinals’ 5-0 loss on Friday night, but he still left the mound trailing by a run and an out short of being eligible for his first win of 2023.
Signed to a four-year, $44 million free-agent deal in the fall of 2021, Matz is now 0-5 with a 5.05 ERA in nine starts this season. He’s won just one start -- July 23, 2022, at Cincinnati -- since early May of last year. Even that one victory was marred by a knee injury that Matz sustained while fielding a slow roller up the first-base line.
“It’s tough because you want to go out and give the team a chance to win, so doing that is good,” said Matz, who pitched around traffic in each of the first four innings. “Going deeper into games, that would change that [chance to notch his first victory]. That’s something I’ve got to be better about doing going forward.”
A night after scoring 16 runs and smashing a franchise record seven homers, the Cardinals were mostly punchless against Tony Gonsolin. They were shut out for the fifth time and their two hits were a season low. Things could have been different had L.A. center fielder James Outman not reached above the wall to rob a potential Paul Goldschmidt home run and if Nolan Arenado’s laser down the left-field line had not fallen inches foul later in the sixth inning.

MSHSAA sanctions high school boys volleyball
5/12/2023
High school boys volleyball will become a fully state-sanctioned sport starting in the 2023-24 school year, the Missouri State High School Activities Association announced Thursday in a press release.
Boys volleyball will be a spring sport next school year and MSHSAA will have a one-class state championship that will be held in the week of May 26-June 1, 2024.
Boys volleyball first started in Missouri in the early 1980s and has been running as a club sport since. There are 62 schools — 54 in St. Louis and eight in Kansas City — that currently have boys volleyball teams and the schools have been running their own form of a postseason since 1987.
Now that MSHSAA will take over the sport, it will run the state tournaments. That means the St. Louis teams no longer will run the postseason.
All full-time MSHSAA members will have the opportunity to add boys volleyball as an official sport.
