GT Sports Notes

GOLF
The links team gets a #4 seed in the NCAA regional. They are currently ranked #6 in the nation by Golfweek / Sagarin rankings.

PATTERSON NAMED ACC POW !!!
Congrats for the mammoth performance this past weekend. 2-3run jacks, 1.000 slugging, 7 rbi's, 7 runs, 6 walks, 6 stolen bases, .625ob%. Ballin!!!!

GREAT BEESBALL DATABASE
Want to know how any former Jacket is doing in his quest to get to the bigs? Just type his name in this database and voila - get up-to-date stats. Cool stuff.

MORE ON BEESBALL GAME TONIGHT
So what's at stake tonight? A possible NCAA regional hosting, national rankings, and most importantly bragging rights. This is the rubber match with the pups. This article talks about how this is actually a sibling rivaly for two players on these teams.

GT HOSTS A NIKE FOOTBALL CAMP
The YellowJackets were hosts to one of the Nike football camps this past weekend. Over 500 of the top rising high school athletes participated and evidently it was a great show. The MVP of the camp was awarded to Maurice Wells, mentioned in a previous post, at running back. Recruits were able to see the GT campus, as well as use the strength / training facilities, so no doubt it should have some real recruiting cachet.

NCAA FINAL FOUR PROGRAMS
I happened to be in ATL last week for one day and stopped by the GT Bookstore (Barnes and Noble). They had stacks of Final Four programs with J.Jack on the cover - I picked one up - just thought I would let you know.
