New arena will also bring big-time hoops to downtown Allentown

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Very excited about this.
Penn State and Drexel will be playing at the PPL Center in December and I have a feeling many more top college attractions are coming to our new arena.
This is great news for the entire basketball community, including our high school kids who get quality teams and games dropped in their own backyard. This morning's release:
PENN STATE UNIVERSITY AND DREXEL UNIVERSITY TIP OFF DURING INTERSTATE RIVALRY AT PPL CENTER ON DECEMBER 20

TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE THIS FALL AT PPLCENTER.COM

Penn State University and Drexel University will tip off at the soon-to-open PPL Center on Saturday, December 20. The match-up marks the first announcement of a college basketball game to take place at the Lehigh Valley’s new multi-purpose venue.

Tickets to watch Penn State battle Drexel at PPL Center on Saturday, Dec. 20 will go on sale this fall through PPL Center, online at PPLCenter.com or by phone at 610-347-TIXX.

“We’re excited to bring the Penn State v. Drexel Men’s Basketball game to the PPL Center on Saturday, Dec. 20. This is a great date for college basketball and will be a terrific matchup between two in-state rivals.  This game highlights a reunion for Coach Patrick Chambers and Coach Bruiser Flint who both played point guard for legendary Coach Dan Dougherty at Episcopal Academy.  This game has a strong local flavor and we anticipate a sell-out crowd at the sparkling new PPL Center.  This will be a marquee event!” said Russ Potts, President of RPPI.

Though the teams have not met since 1992, Penn State is 4-0 all-time against Drexel.  During the 2013-14 season, Penn State finished 16-18, going 6-12 in the Big Ten. Four starters are back from the 2013-14 season, leading the nine returning letter-winners who account for more than 70 percent of scoring and rebounds. The Nittany Lions posted win totals, both overall (16) and in the Big Ten (6), among the highest in the last 15 years and had a total of 12 games decided by five or fewer points.

“We are excited to play at the new PPL Center in Allentown. With so many Penn State fans and alumni spread throughout the state, anytime we have a chance to play a game in front of them is something we will explore. We hope they will take advantage of this opportunity to come out as we take on a talented and well-coached team in Drexel,” said Patrick Chambers, Head Coach of Penn State University Men’s Basketball.

During the 2013-14 season, Drexel finished 16-14. The Dragons return eight letter-winners, including Damion Lee, a Second Team All-CAA performer two years ago. Lee missed most of last season with a knee injury.

“We look forward to playing at the brand new PPL Center,” said Bruiser Flint, Head Coach of Drexel University Men’s Basketball. “Our players are excited to have the opportunity to play at the state-of-the-art facility. We believe this game will be an exciting showcase for college basketball fans in the state of Pennsylvania,”

Former Allen star Terrence Roderick scores 53 in a TOC semifinal game

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Former Allen star Terrence Roderick can still score with the best of them in local basketball.
The 2006 Morning Call Player of the Year scored 53 points on Wednesday night to help his Certified Chemical team defeat Ohlson Landscaping 87-77 in one of the two Tournament of Champions semifinals at the Catasauqua Playground.
TOC director Eric Snyder said it may have been the best performance in the TOC's 25-year history.
Roderick, who played collegiate basketball at UAB and played professionally in Italy in 2012-13 and in Israel this past season, scored 33 points in the first half, making nine 3-pointers in the process. He also had three monster dunks.
Roderick will be on display once again on Thursday night when his Certifield Chemical team from the Forks League meets Pammer Chiropractic from the North Catty League for the TOC championship.
The game will be televised by RCN4.
Pammer Chiropractic defeated Daku Auto Body 76-58 in Wednesday's other semifinal as former Freedom standout Joe Lococo scored 31 points.

Thursday!

Fordham is the pick to win the Patriot League football title; Lehigh 2nd, Lafayette 3rd in preseason poll

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/

FROM KEITH GROLLER

In advance of today's Patriot League football preseason luncheon at Green Pond Country Club, the league office sent out the preseason poll and its preseason all-league team as well as the preseason offensive and defensive players of the year.
Suffice to say it looks like a great fall in the Bronx whether or not the Yankees make the baseball postseason.
And remember, too, that if Lehigh and Lafayette have their way, the league championship will be decided in the Bronx on Nov. 22 and won't necessarily go to the team located in the Bronx, Fordham.
In case you're not aware -- Lehigh and Lafayette will be playing at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 22. It's the 150th meeting in college football's most-played rivalry.
Here's the preseason list courtesy of the league office:
2014 Patriot League Football Preseason Poll
1. Fordham, 72 points (12 first-place votes)
2. Lehigh, 54
3. Lafayette, 51 (2)
4. Bucknell, 43
5. Colgate, 33
6. Holy Cross, 29
7. Georgetown, 12

http://fangsbites.com/mlb/vin-scully-to-return-in-2015-to-call-his-66th-season-with-the-dodgers.html

Announced Tuesday night during a break in the Atlanta Braves-Los Angeles Dodgers game, American Treasure Vin Scully will return for a 66th season as the Voice of the Dodgers. Totally amazing that Vin has called games for that long.
He’ll call all nine innings on SportsNet LA and simulcast the first three innings on radio. As usual, he’ll call all home games and continue to travel to games mostly in the Pacific time zone.

TV NEWS JULY 28

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2014/07/fx-fall-2014-mike-molly-reruns-premiere.html

As we announced a few years ago, reruns of Mike & Molly are coming to FX in Fall 2014! Now we have some additional details! The series will begin with a Labor Day marathon on Monday, September 1, 2014 from 12 noon to 9pm ET leading into the one-hour season finale of Partners, starring Kelsey Grammer and Martin Lawrence at 9. Back to Mike & Molly, the Melissa McCarthy sitcom will join the regular schedule a few weeks later beginning Tuesday, Sept. 23. Like, Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother, it will air in stacks in late afternoons, primetime and late night. No set times or anything, but in the first week look for it to air 5:30pm-7:30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, 6-10pm on Thursday and 11pm-2am on Saturday night. Mike & Molly will also premiere in local broadcast syndication this fall beginning Sept. 22. No other additions or changes are being made to FX in September, so you can still expect to see Men, Mother and FX's other series: Anger Management, Ellen and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And don't forget sister network FXX will launch The Simpsons with the longest TV marathon ever! More to come on that soon, like its normal timeslots.

For the first time, ESPN will pay a rights fee to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The network has been airing the Enshrinement Ceremony from Canton, OH since 1995.
Chris Berman will emcee this year’s event and Trey Wingo will host as it will air live Saturday, August 2 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2. This year’s class includes Derrick Brooks, Ray Guy, Claude Humphrey, Andre Reed and Michael Strahan.

In great company on the Dieruff Hall of Fame wall

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Found out recently that my Hall of Fame plaque has been put up on the wall at Dieruff High School and I am in good company.
Turns out my plaque is right underneath Andre Reed's. Reed, you might have heard, is going into another Hall of Fame this weekend. Me and Reed
There you have perhaps the most famous Dieruff alum ever above someone whose athletic contribution to the school was a career record of 15-45 in tennis.
Ah well. Being inducted into my alma mater's Hall of Fame is something that will forever be very special to me, and certainly that night, May 21, is one I will never forget.
Never expected it. And I definitely did not expect the standing ovation when I was introduced.
Biggest surprise? Even my own family got up and applauded. They know all too well I am not exactly a Hall of Famer at home.
I owe a big thank you to Paulette Kish (seen with me below) who went to bat for me on this honor. I know there were a lot of people who never thought I belonged, and they may be right. But Paulette thought differently and for that, I will forever be grateful. To be one of just 69 Hall of Famers in Dieruff's proud 55-year history. Wow. Quite humbling.
Talk about being in great company and talk about a big weekend ahead in Canton.
We're working on some feature stories, previewing what should be one of the biggest weekends in Lehigh Valley sports history.
It's certainly one of the biggest weeks in Dieruff High School and Allentown history.
I don't know if my friends below are going to Canton, but I have a feeling that these members of the Kiska family will be there in spirit.
Having the only true live mascots in the area is a source of pride for Dieruff graduates.
After all, you can't pet a Canary, can you? July 28, 2014 download 003
By the way, a Andre Reed: A Football Life premieres on the NFL Network Thursday night at 10 p.m. It should offer quite a few insights on how someome who grew up in some rough Allentown neighborhoods has made it into the Hall of Fame of America's most popular sport.

Boys of Summer Player of the Week: Northwestern grad Mike Fignar

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/

FROM KEITH GROLLER

From Sunday's print edition of The Morning Call, the Boys of Summer Player of the Week -- Mike Fignar of the Northern Yankees. Mike is a Northwestern Lehigh and King's College product:
MIKE FIGNAR, NORTHERN YANKEES
A change in job shifts for Mike Fignar has resulted in a change in fortunes for the Northern Yankees in the Blue Mountain League.
Fignar used to be on middle shift at Mack Trucks in Lower Macungie and could only make weekend games, but halfway through the baseball season he was shifted to daytime hours. That opened his nights up for the Yankees. Mike Fignar
He has made the most of that extra time, helping the team go on a six-game win streak that allowed the former Tri-County League member to secure the No. 2 seed in its first Blue Mountain League postseason.
Fignar is hitting .333 overall, but was 9-for-20 with two walks and six runs scored during the Yankees’ hot streak and has made a big difference for the Scherersville team.
“He does a great job patrolling center field and is another big bat for us in the middle of our order,” Yankees manager Brian Polaha said. “He runs well, has some pop and has been a big stabilizing factor for us.”
Fignar, a fixture on the Yankees’ 2011 and ’12 Tri-Co title teams, said the regular playing stints have been helpful for him to helped him find a rhythm at the plate.
“I’m not a college kid anymore, so it doesn’t hurt to get more reps and be able to be here all the time,” the 2007 Northwestern Lehigh grad and King’s College product said. “I don’t like tooting my own horn. I am just happy to help out and be with such a good group of guys.”

ESPN which is operating the network saw a slow rollout at first, but as we are within just a few weeks from launch, the Alleged Worldwide Leader is seeing the momentum picking up and major providers like Cox, Comcast and Time Warner Cable have signed up over the past three weeks.

Blue Mountain League baseball playoffs set to begin on Saturday

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/

FROM KEITH GROLLER

A wild game tonight in Egypt where the Northern Yankees rallied for five runs in the top of the seventh inning to defeat the MetLife Orioles 6-5 finalized the playoff picture in the Blue Mountain League.
Most stunning is the fact that the Hellertown Royals, the Easton Falcons and the Orioles -- three of the four BML playoff teams last year -- failed to qualify. Defending champ Marins Creek did make it, but just barely.
Hellertown had made the playoffs for 13 consecutive years.
One of the most balanced seasons in the amateur league in years ended with the two newcomers from the Tri-County League, the Northern Yankees and Limeport Bulls, earning the second and third seeds.
The Northampton Giants, just 11-20-1 last season, clinched the top seed. The Northern Yankees, Tri-Co champs in 2011 and 2012, earned the No. 2 seed.
The other four playoff teams will begin best-of-three series today, but the inavailability of Limeport Stadium because of the state Connie Mack tournament has forced different venues to be used.
The No. 6 seed Blue Mountain Hawks will play the No. 3 Limeport Bulls, the other former Tri-
Co team, at 1:30 at Emmaus Community Park.
No. 5 seed Martins Creek will play No. 4 Limeport Dodgers at 1:30 at Hellertown's Dimmick Park.
In Games 2 on Sunday, the Dodgers will play at Martins Creek at 1:30 and the Limeport Bulls will play at Blue Mountain at Laurys Station.
Games 3, if needed, would be played on Tuesday with the semifinals set to start on Thursday night with the Giants and Yankees set to host Game 1s. The playoffs are expected to continue through Aug. 16.
Here's a look at the standings after tonight's games:
BLUE MOUNTAIN LEAGUE
No. 1 seed -- Northampton Giants 18-11-1
No. 2 seed -- Northern Yankees 17-11-2
No. 3 seed -- Limeport Bulls 16-12-2
No. 4 seed -- Limeport Dodgers 16-14
No. 5 seed -- Martins Creek 15-13-2
No. 6 seed -- Blue Mountain Hawks 15-14-1
Hellertown Royals 15-15
Metlife Orioles 14-15-1
Easton Falcons 11-17-2
Roseto Bandits 10-18-2
Berlinsville Braves 11-19
