Broadcast Schedule Set For Baseball A tenative radio broadcast schedule has been set for the Virginia baseball team's 2006 season. The Cavaliers opened play this past weekend with two wins and one loss. This season, WINA and an additional AM station will be carrying the games. Progressive Talk 1450, WVAX. The new AM station allows broadcasts to take place even if there's a direct programming conflict on WINA (lacrosse broadcasts for example). The audio will still be on Virginiasports.com as well. Also, ACC Select will be carrying the audio for many of their webcasts of Virginia games. So without further ado, here is the broadcast schedule for this spring:
Friday, March 16 at North Carolina (3:00)--WVAX

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Football ... Signing Day 2007 has come and gone and there were really no major surprises with respect to UVa's class. The Hoos signed 24 prospects - Coach Al Groh says he expects all 24 to be in Charlottesville in August (meaning he expects no academic casualties at this time). Two players whose decisions were in question on Signing Day decided to sign elsewhere. LB Romale Tucker signed with Syracuse and WR Vincent Hill signed with Akron. UVa finished with a class ranked #24 in the nation by Rivals.com and a class rated #7 in the ACC by the ACC Area Sports Journal. It was a very good class - perhaps the best of the Al Groh era - and one that fills some needs and adds quality talent to a lot of different areas. If you haven't already, check out the Sabre EDGE coverage of last Wednesday's Signing Day and the 2007 recruiting class. And stay tuned for further coverage, including Q&A sessions with some of UVa's top gets in the class. Also, stay tuned for a preview into the 2008 class for a look into what areas may be most important for the staff to recruit in '08. UVa is off to a good start so far with a commitment from 6-7, 265-pound junior Matt Mihalik and will have a junior day coming up soon on February 24. As Groh said on Signing Day, Denny's never closes ... and recruiting never stops.
Men's basketball . Jeff Jones inched closer to become the all-time leading scorer in Philadelphia Catholic League history with a 41-point performance last night. He also had 12 rebounds and 5 assists. The 6-4 guard could not help Monsignor Bonner to a win last night, falling to Neumann-Goretti 79-75, but he did force an overtime with a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Jones is at least 32 points away from being the PCL all-time leading scorer. The league is checking into what his actual total is - right now, it's 1,829 points. The all-time leading scorer is Reggie Jackson of Roman Catholic with 1,861 points. Jones is averaging 22.5 points per game this season. Monsignor Bonner has two games remaining.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 105 - September 19, 2003 Hagans delivers in win over Western Michigan Coach Al Groh decided to start all-everything talent Marques Hagans over freshman Anthony Martinez at quarterback this past Saturday against Western Michigan. The move proved to be an excellent decision, as Hagans led the team to an easy 59-16 victory over the Broncos in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Hagans completed 12 of his 20 passes for 162 yards with three touchdowns. He also kept the Broncos' defense off balance with his feet, rushing for 68 yards on nine carries. A lot of Cavaliers got into the scoring column this game, including two freshmen. True freshman receiver Deyon Williams saw his first action of the season. On his very first play from scrimmage, Williams caught a 35-yard pass for a touchdown. Redshirt freshman cornerback Tony Franklin provided icing on the cake with his 45-yard interception return for a touchdown with just over three minutes remaining. Overall it was a good day for the Cavaliers on both sides of the ball, especially on the defensive end. After a poor effort at South Carolina the week prior, the Hoos really needed to step up it up against Western Michigan, a team that had put up 1,050 yards in their last two contests. Against the Wahoo defense, the Broncos put up just 91 yards on the ground and were stifled through the air for a majority of the contest. More than 200 of the Bronco's 317 yards in the air were picked up in the fourth quarter, when the game was well out of reach. The Cavalier defense also sacked the Broncos' quarterback three times and caused a number of hurries, interceptions and fumbles. Virginia forced six turnovers on the day, converting most of them into touchdowns. Two interceptions were run back for scores - one by Franklin as mentioned above and another by senior defensive leader and cornerback Almondo Curry on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.
