Daily Dose: July 1 - we're back baby...

if only for an abbreviated time...
see, it's summer - and the Daily Dose has to take all its vacation time during these months betwixt baseball and foo-ball and golf....

so, we'll try to do it big and live it large for the time being...

anyway,
a reader e-mailed in to tell us that Batavia's Jordan Coffey and Aurora Christian's Matt Morse shared a unique honor - the only players in the area to receive all-state nods in both baseball and football.

Interestingly though, the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association has since taken down its "all-state" team and says an "all-area" team will be honored July 20.
But this newspaper story on the 1A/2A team lists Morse....

So, this is all unofficial of course, but this reader is fairly up to snuff on his stuff...

Along with Coffey, other area all-state nominees in 3A/4A were
Tim Drish of Batavia, Brady Renner of West Aurora and Sam Carius of Waubonsie Valley.
Congrats to them if its true - but I find it hard to believe that Marmion's Matt Milroy was not an all-state selection, even in 4A...but we'll see in mid-July I guess..
