Gallaudet baseball
Gallaudet’s William Bissell named to D3baseball.com All-South Region First Team
MINNEAPOLIS – Gallaudet University sophomore outfielder William
Bissell (Brewer, Maine) was named to the 2012 All-South Region first
team as announced by D3baseball.com.
Bissell, the two-time North Eastern Athletic Conference West Division
Player of the Year and two-time all-conference first teamer, is the
only sophomore on the first team. The Maine native is the lone
representative from the NEAC to be selected to the first team of any
of the eight regional teams as selected by the national website.
Bissell, a preseason All-American honorable mention selection named
by D3baseball.com, started all 42 games for the Bison and is 11th in
the nation in triples (seven), 25th in slugging percentage (.697) as
of May 13. Bissell leads the NEAC/NAC in triples, total bases (99),
third in slugging percentage, sacrifice flies (five), home runs
(six), fourth in runs (43), hits (55), sixth in batting average
(.387), RBI (37), eighth in stolen bases (16), 11th in doubles (12),
12th in games (42), 13th in plate appearances (167) and 14th in
on-base percentage (.449).
Bissell is not only a threat on offense but he plays spectacular
defense as he posted a .955 fielding percentage to go with 100 put
outs and five assists.
Bissell helped to lead Gallaudet to its best season ever as the Bison
compiled a 25-17 record and 10-4 conference mark. The Bison reached
the NEAC West Division championship game but fell to Penn St.-Berks
13-5. The 25 wins is a new single-season record for the Gallaudet
program that dates back to the late 1800s.
This is the first year D3baseball.com has compiled all-region teams.
Players were nominated and by Sports Information Directors at the
various schools. Over 700 players were nominated for the eight
different regions (Central, Mid-Atlantic, Mideast, Midwest, New
England, New York, South, West). The ballots were made available to
Sports Information Directors and the D3baseball.com staff and
contributors to vote for a predetermined number of players in their
respective region.

Gallaudet’s Flowers places second in the triple jump at ECAC championships
TROY, N.Y. – Junior Darius Flowers (Birmingham, Ala.) finished second
in the triple jump at the 2012 Eastern College Athletic Conference
Division III men’s track and field championships hosted by
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute this past Thursday and Friday.
Flowers had a consistent flight of jumps as all six attempts
surpassed 14 meters. He saved his best jump for last when he cleared
14.58 meters to take second place in the triple jump. The 14.58
meters mark is a new personal record for Flowers at the ECAC
championships. Last year, he made a leap of 14.52 meters to finish
second overall. Williams College’s Tomas Kearney won the 2012
event with a jump of 14.66 meters. Since Flowers placed in the top
eight he earns All-ECAC honors for a second straight year.
Flowers earned eight team points for his performance to place
Gallaudet tied for 37th place among 63 teams that received team
points in the final standings. Bates College won a third straight
championship with 61 points followed by Rowan University with 49
points and Ramapo College of New Jersey with 40 points.
Freshman Michael Haynes (Granite City, Ill.) made his ECAC
championship debut in the 110-meter hurdles and finished 20th overall
in the preliminaries with a time of 16.38 seconds with 1.4 wind aided
to his back. His time did not qualify him for the final race, which
takes the top eight runners from the preliminaries.
Flowers will next prepare for the 2012 NCAA Division III Outdoor
Championships in Claremont, Calif., from May 24-26. Last year,
Flowers finished sixth overall in the triple jump to earn
All-American honors.

Indiana softball
(newspaper story)
ISD pitcher excels
Indiana Deaf senior Kate Fetzer has compiled some nifty numbers as a
pitcher and hitter. She is 12-3, including three shutouts, with a 1.65
earned run average, and has struck out 162 in 761/3 innings. She had a
no-hitter in the semifinals of the Hoy Tournament in Riverside, Calif.,
last month and was named Most Valuable Player as the Deaf Hoosiers won the
national tournament for deaf schools. Fetzer is also hitting .618 with
seven doubles, nine triples and 25 RBIs this season.
“She has a lot of speed,” said Chris Fetzer, her father and coach. “Her
base-running knowledge came through travel ball. She always used her speed
and knowledge of running the bases well.”
Fetzer said his daughter has severe hearing loss, but can hear a little.
Her mother and brother also are deaf.
“The travel softball coaches think it’s an advantage not to hear because
she is able to focus more,” Fetzer said.
Indiana Deaf, in its fourth season, is seeking its first sectional title.
Traditional power Lutheran was in the same sectional the first three
seasons but was moved. Indiana Deaf opens Class A sectional play against
University on Tuesday. The winner hosts Bethesda Christian for the title
Thursday. Indiana Deaf defeated University 16-0 on Monday and Bethesda
Christian 6-2 on Tuesday.

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. A DeafDigest Sports subscriber pointed out that Kenny Walker and
Bonnie Sloan were not the only deaf players in the NFL and that Reed
Doughty, Washington Redskins, is another deaf player.
A. There are 4 basic groups of hearing impairment – mildly deaf,
moderately deaf, severely deaf and profoundly deaf. Both Walker
and Sloan are profoundly deaf. Doughty, on the other hand is either
mildly or moderately deaf, but functions as a hearing person. Additionally
we have had a mildly/moderately deaf quarterback in NFL. Billy
Donckers played for the St Louis Cardinals in 1976 and 1977. He rarely
played because he backed up Jim Hart, an elite quarterback.

St Mary’s girls track
For the first time in St. Mary’s School for the Deaf history and for
the first time in the 35 year history of the girls ESDAA track and
field championships, our lady bison’s captured the 1st place
championship title. We were one of nine teams comprised of both
division 1(large schools) & division 2(small schools) in Fredirick,
Maryland to have competed in this annual tournament. Although our
expectations are always high for this squad, we needed to consider
that we were only bringing 9 athletes and we were going head to head
against many division I perennial powerhouses. The thought that we
could actually upset every one of these teams was beyond any one of
our wildest dreams. That being said, you can teach skill but you
can’t coach heart! The lady bison’s woke up early for the track meet
Saturday morning ready to make a statement! Not only was the
message received loud and clear, but we broke some records in the
process. The competition consisted of 16 events and we finished in
the top 3 in all but three of them (13/16). The lady bison’s racked
up; 6 gold medals, 7 silver medals, 3 bronze medals, 1 ESDAA record,
& 3 personal records. We finished the afternoon with a grand total of
139 points and beat the 2nd place team (New Jersey School for the
Deaf) by 44 points. As per tradition at the tournament the all
around winning team accepts their awards and then takes a victory
lap around the track to relish in their triumph. It was a nice
ending to a good season and to a fantastic 2011-2012 girls varsity
sports campaign. To all of our seniors (Suada Abdulkadir, Sarah
Flowers, and Crystle Marion) who competed in their last ESDAA
tournament, thank you and good luck. Finally, thanks to all of our
supporters, we could not have done it without your help.

Q. NFL scouts showing interest in Gallaudet’s Tony Tatum.
First time in Gallaudet history that pro scouts show
interest in any Gallaudet athlete?
A. No! Ronda Jo Miller was scouted by the WNBA and played
one pre-season game. And in football, over the years -
Frank Willis (early fifties), Bill Zachiarasen (early
sixties), Dan Fitzpatrick (late seventies), Shannon
Simon (late eighties) all attracted interest. They
were not not drafted, nor offered free agent contracts
for two reasons – their deafness and NCAA-III level.
Very few, if any, NCAA-III (hearing) players make it
to the NFL, anyway! And in baseball, there were scouts
from some major league teams.

(from a web posting)
Mr. Dennis Catron decided to wrap up his coaching experience of 17 years
to pursue his other hobbies. Here are highlights of his coaching years at
Indiana School for the Deaf.
Mr. Catron accepted the task to coach the HS girls basketball team in
January 2004. It was wonderful opportunity to coach the team for 2 and
half years. The team was pretty much volleyball players but they were able
to deliver the most exciting moments with their dedication and
determination to capture the Clerc tourney and earned the National Team of
the Year in 2006. They also still hold the best winning percent of the
win-loss record to this day. He left coaching job to enjoy his son.s
playing years at ISD for four years.
Then he returned back to coach again with boys team in 2010. The team was
filled with young, inexperienced players but they have developed over time
in his two coaching years with them. The team got back after finishing
dead last a year before to earn 3rd place at Clerc with a team
sportsmanship honor. It was great accomplishment for them.
Mr. Catron expressed that .It has been a great privilege to coach them
after teaching most of these student-athletes when they were elementary
students. It was memorable moments for me to watch them grow in both
academics and basketball..
He wishes them the best luck with many seasons to come!

their other tie, they did all they could against Mount Kenya University
(Thika) but still succumbed 23-33. Tom Okiki, the Kenya Deaf Federation
chief said the team will use the exposure and experience from
participating in the league to prepare for an international tournament for
the deaf in Nairobi in October. They also qualified for the Deaf Olympics
in Hungary mid this year. Okiki also revealed the seven day championships
will be held at the Nyayo National Stadium from October 15 and will
involve teams from Burundi, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, South
Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia. .The eight teams have accepted an invitation
from us to take part in this tournament that we will use to gauge our
national team for the Deaf Olympics in Hungary in September,. said Okiki
adding that it will give the side a good exposure. Okiki said that having
the team in the on going provincial league will help keep the players
engaged through out the season and thus keep them fit for the two
international shows. Without the league, he noted, it would have be very
difficult to perform in the top platform.

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. Are there any deaf adult baseball teams around? This was a
question asked by an agent that wanted to place his deaf
client with a deaf baseball team. What did DeafDigest Sports
editor respond?
A. There are no deaf adult baseball teams around in USA, except
for Gallaudet baseball team. There was a national deaf USA baseball
team but that program has been dormant since 2000, after winning
the Pan American Deaf baseball championship (USA, Canada, Mexico,
Cuba and Venezuela).

Football: Decision was tough for MSD’s Bonheyo
Andy Bonheyo said his decision to step down as Maryland School for the
Deaf’s football coach was not an easy one to make.
He’s been wrestling with it in recent seasons despite the Orioles’
overwhelming success.
But, in the last week, Bonheyo said he “finally had the guts to do it.”
Bonheyo, 50, will stay on as MSD’s athletic director, which means he will
hire his successor.
“We should have a new coach soon,” he said in an email to the News-Post.
Bonheyo said his 11 years at the helm of the football program were very
rewarding. He led the Orioles to 10 national deaf prep championships,
including the last nine.
“I will always remember my first game as coach at MSD. We won over Maret,
20-12, on their turf,” he said. “No one thought we stood any chance of
winning that game.”
Bonheyo said he would not rule out a return to coaching.
When practice rolls around in August, he said, “I will feel strange, but I
will be around to support the next coach to assure a smooth transition. I
have confidence that the current coaching staff will continue the
excellence of our football program.”

A. Thanks to Ron Nomeland. His father was involved
in a triple play in the 1926 game against Blue Ridge
College. Bases were loaded in the first inning when
a Blue Ridge hitter whacked a line drive that first
baseman Walter Krug caught. Krug stepped on first
base for the second out and then threw to second baseman
Emory Nomeland for the third out. Gallaudet won the game
9-7.
Thanks Ron, for this valuable piece of historical
information.

from John Perry, coach of national champions, Northern Virginia team
I’m back! Okay- 2012 USADB in Houston, TX was a successful
tournament. Approximately 200 fans and players watched the
championship game between Deaf Sports Academy and Northern Virginia
Diplomats. This was a rematch of the 2011 USADB Championship in
Minneapolis, MN where NoVa Diplomats won their 2nd title. DSA had led
the first 30 minutes of the game including DSA Jonathan Valencia’s
half-court buzzer beating shot to lead DSA 54-50 at halftime. NoVa
Dips took over the lead after trailing for 30 minutes and never looked
back. NoVa Dips made several key free throws and held on to win,
92-84. Give credit to DSA for a well-fought game and NoVa Diplomats
won their third title in a row. They will look to win their fourth
title in 2013 USADB at Philadelphia, PA.
Thank you very much, John!

St Mary’s track
Yesterday was a perfect example of a spring day in Buffalo, “IN LIKE
LIONS…”. It was cold, windy, rainy and as a result neither the
Lady Bisons or the girls team from Tapestry Charter School were able
to really get in any solid jumps, throws, or good times on the
track. Everyone tried to hussle (pun intended) their way through
each event and get out of the nasty weather. Unfortunately after all
was said and done, St. Mary’s Girls came out on the losing end
suffering our first defeat of the season 59-32. There were however
some bright spots (once again, pun intended) yesterday afternoon
including Crystle Marion as a double winner in both shot put and
discus, Andrea Lewis and Monica Burger finishing 1st & 2nd in the
800m, and Sarah Flowers capturing 1st place in the 3200m. Coach
Albenasi & myself were proud of the majority of girls on the team who
despite being faced with mother nature’s harsh conditions gave a good
effort and represented our program well.
Individual Accomplishments/Stats:
Crystle Marion: Shot Put- 1st place/ 40′ ¾”
Discus- 1st place/ 90′ 10″

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. Years ago the goal of Gallaudet athletes was to win
Mason-Dixon Conference championships? Why not NCAA?
A. In these days there were no national NCAA championships,
hence Mason-Dixon was the goal. Times have changed and
Mason-Dixon has faded away from the Gallaudet athletic
scene.

Deaf Sports Trivia
from a retired coach, in response to below
You are perfectly correct…when I was coaching,
I always had to ask a hearing person to report the
score to a local newspaper. Later I had to use the TTY
via the relay service to reach the local newspaper.
Today all coaches have VRS, and do I see the
scores in newspapers? No!
past trivia -
Q. Why is DeafDigest Sports editor disappointed about not seeing
on-line postings of national deaf basketball scores?
A. National deaf basketball scores are not supposed to be Top Secret!
Way back in the late seventies, as a young man, during the AAAD national
deaf basketball tournaments, DeafDigest Sports had to find a hearing person
to make a telephone call to The Caption Center in Boston by 11 PM
each night so that these scores can be posted when aired these nights!
Nowadays, we have email, we have pagers, we have instant messages, yet
- no scores!!!!!

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. Why is DeafDigest Sports editor disappointed about not seeing
on-line postings of national deaf basketball scores?
A. National deaf basketball scores are not supposed to be Top Secret!
Way back in the late seventies, as a young man, during the AAAD national
deaf basketball tournaments, DeafDigest Sports had to find a hearing person
to make a telephone call to The Caption Center in Boston by 11 PM
each night so that these scores can be posted when aired these nights!
Nowadays, we have email, we have pagers, we have instant messages, yet
- no scores!!!!!
