During the second annual Breakfast of Champions, held on May 16, the Eastport-South Manor Central School District honored 20 Junior-Senior High School students who exhibit exemplary character and conduct on a daily basis. In the tradition of Wheaties cereal, who for decades honored champions by placing their photos on cereal boxes, the administration and faculty recognized these students who have made daily contributions to the school community.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
