Tom — as the Head Coach of Moeller Wrestling & Father of a talented & smart womens’ soccer player — the information & coaching & counseling that you provided at the workshops is very strong — you have a great program.

A quick note of thanks for helping me realize my dream of playing Division I baseball. I’m an entering Freshman in 2010 as an early commit with the University of Cincinnati. They made a significant scholarship offer which I was please to accept. The University of Cincinnati was my first choice of schools.

Over the years working with you, I attended the Sunday workshops and followed many of your guidelines. My goal was to work as smart and hard in the college search process as I worked getting better at Baseball.

Some of the keys for me include:

- Stay organized. Do the tracking sheet.

- Research the schools of interest.

- Engage as the coaches engage. Knowing the NCAA rules for recruiting very important.

- Pursue offers and allow leverage to work for you.

- Maintain good grades and good entrance exams.

- Stay focused. Work harder and smarter to get better.

Tommy, one of the most time consuming aspects of the recruiting process was responding to all coach communications. I leveraged my parents to help stay focused on all communication. Also, my family and I visited many schools early in the process.

I’m grateful that my dream to play Division I Baseball is soon to be a reality. I’m so fortunate that I will be a scholarship player at a school that will allow my family and friends to attend my games routinely. The University of Cincinnati has one of the top facilities and coaching staffs in the country.

Thank you for helping me. I know you were available to talk on the telephone many times in the process.

Go BEARCATS!

Attached is a note from Matthew. As you know over the summer, he committed to The University of Cincinnati to play baseball.

We’d also like to express our gratitude. College costs are significant and Matthew received significant funding. During the process, we all worked together for the good of furthering Matt’s education.

Thank you so much for the all the coaching!!!!

In the end, Matt did all the hard work and performed on the field. We are so thrilled that his dream came true. Also, we will get to see him play. We are so blessed.

God Bless you, Tom!

SPRINGBORO — James Sheltrown is headed to Akron University and ranks No. 20 on the Buckeye Scout list of Ohio’s top baseball players. Buckeye Scout is a highly respected scouting bureau.

“We like James because of his ability to play more than one position,” said Akron coach Pat Bangtson. “He’s a solid middle infielder and catcher. You don’t often find that combination. He’s a hard-nosed player who plays with a lot of enthusiasm. We’re excited about what he brings to the table for us.”

While attending a recent Cincinnati Reds-Houston Astros baseball game, the Springboro High School catcher fielded a few questions about the Panthers’ surprising season, his backstop abilities and his future.

Q What gets your adrenaline going — nailing a would-be base stealer or delivering a clutch RBI?

A It depends on the situation (and) what I want to do. If it means winning a game, the RBI means more.
