NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Witter starts professional ball with a flourish
Adam Witter didn't hit
just one home run in his pro debut on Monday. The former East Carolina
slugger launched two as he led Salem-Keizer to a 10-3 triumph against
defending champion and host Spokane in the Northwest League opener for both
clubs.
A sellout crowd of
7,413 saw Witter and the Volcanoes total 13 hits off five Spokane pitchers.
Big Ben's little sister commits to Sooners
The younger sister of
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has verbally committed to
play basketball for Oklahoma.
Carlee Roethlisberger
informed Sooners coaches of her decision after making a recruiting trip to
Norman last week. The announcement was made by Findlay (Ohio) High School
coach Connie Lyon through the Tulsa World newspaper.
The 6-foot-1
Roethlisberger averaged 19.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9
steals as her team went 20-4 last season.
Deacon grid recruit faces felony charges
The Winston-Salem
Journal has reported that Dennis Godfrey, a tight end from Sanford (Lee
Senior High) who committed to Wake Forest last June and who signed a letter
of intent on Feb. 1, was indicted this week on charges of first-degree
kidnapping, second-degree rape, second-degree sexual offense and sexual
battery.
If convicted on all
four counts, all of which are Class C felonies, Godfrey, 18, could be
sentenced to more than 30 years imprisonment.
Wake athletics director
Ron Wellman, in Omaha for the College World Series, said that neither he nor
Coach Jim Grobe knew of the allegations until Godfrey was indicted this
week. Wellman said that Wake Forest has made no decision to rescind
Godfrey's scholarship.
Mike Vest, the
associate director of media relations in charge of football, said that as of
yesterday, Godfrey is expected to be at Wake Forest when the second semester
of summer school starts July 8.
"As of right now
everyone expects him here,'' Vest said. "The plan is to let the legal system
take its course and make a decision after that.''
