SOUTHERN FORCE HONORED
(NFCA press release)
Southern
Force (Ill.) tabbed Speedline/NFCA Travel Ball National Coaching Staff of the
Year
10/06/04 - NFCA Release
Southern
Force (Johnson City, Ill.) head coach Gerry Glasco, along with assistant coaches
Scott Wagner and Tara Glasco have been named the 2004 Speedline/NFCA Travel Ball
National Coaching Staff of the Year.
Glasco led the Force to the 2004 ASA 18U Gold national championship, finishing
the Marietta, Ga., tournament with a perfect 7-0 record. The win marked just the
second time that a non-California team has captured the title at Gold Nationals.
The Southern Force defeated the California Cruisers 2-1 in an exciting
championship game that ended with Shanna Diller belting a 10th-inning RBI
single.
"It is a tremendous honor," said Glasco. "It is actually quite overwhelming. We
have come out of no where with this team and this shows that you can be
respected no matter where you are from if you can win."
The Force finished the 2004 Travel Ball season with a 59-9 record, including a
10-0 mark at the Show Me Classic in St. Louis. They also won the Orland Sparks
Invitational in Chicago with a 9-0 record and qualified for Gold nationals with
an 8-0 showing at the Sector 2 Qualifier in Blue Springs, Mo.
"You cannot do it without the players," added Glasco. "We had a great group of
girls this season."
JANET LEIGH
One movie critic, writing on
the passing of screen star Janet Leigh, noted that “Psycho,” the Hitchcock
thriller which featured a horrific scene where she is stabbed to death while
taking a shower, “pushed a lot of buttons.” None more so than the star who said
in later years that, after filming the 1960 shocker, she never again took a
shower, only baths. She made many other films which emphasized her beauty and
physique, but Psycho and Janet Leigh became permanently enmeshed because
of that one terrifying scene.
The other “make you jump” scene is in Jaws, enjoying a revival on
the movie channels. Roy Scheider is sowing the water with chum, turns aft, and
that bloody shark shoots up!
