April 26th 2007- Vasquez and Jackson sparkle in loss
Biondis Vasquez and Joel Jackson both made terrific plays in Elmonts 19-5 loss to Great Neck South.
Vasquez made a diving play on a foul pop up behind third base in the bottom of the first inning. Biondis who was playing shortstop had to run a very long way before making the diving catch.
Jackson made an over the shoulder basket catch in left field in the 6th inning that saved at least two runs. He then turned and threw to second "ala Willie Mays" to double off a baserunner who thought the ball had fallen in.

May 3rd, 2007- Prosper goes deep to make the play
At first glance, one would not think "quick" or "fast" when they look at Andrew Prosper. But the stocky outfielder proves that you cannot judge a book by it's cover. He got an excellent jump on a ball hit well over his head and made a terrific running catch on a ball hit by Friends academy.
