Terp Talk

     The reigning NBA Champs have been eliminated.  Kobe Bryant set himself apart from the reat of the league with an incredible closeout performance.  Nothing can stop the Lakers.  Tonight the Celts will eliminate the Pistons mainly due to an elbow injury to Rip. This will be the prelude to a 4-1 series win for the Lakers. 

     Manny Ramirez comes to town tonight seeking his 500th homer.  The Baseball draft is only 5 days away.  Look for the O’s to grab one of the power hitters with the 4th pick.  Oriole scout, Dean Albany was on Terp Talk last night and spoke glowingly about Terrapin pitcher Scott Swinson.

     All American 197 lb wrestler Hudson Taylor has been named Scholar Athlete of the ACC for wrestling.  Congrats Hudson.  James Gist continues to impress all observers at the NBA tryout camp in Orlando.  It seems as if he has improved his short range jump shot.
