Another Target?

A Denver Post story about something called the Jack & Jill Beautillion includes the mention of a potential Dartmouth recruiting target. It's not clear if he's being looked at for football or basketball, but the guess here would be the former. From the story:

A senior at Cherry Creek High School, Terrance (Walker) was on the High Honor Roll for each of his four years and is an AP Scholar and Tribute to Black Youth honoree. Terrance also is a CHSAA Academic All-State first team member, a three-year varsity football letterman and two-year varsity basketball letterman. He is being actively recruited by Harvard Cornell, Dartmouth and Princeton, and hopes to earn an undergraduate degree in biology before attending medical school and becoming a surgeon.

Walker, who is 6-foot, 180 pounds, had 21 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns last fall to go along with 24 tackles and two interceptions in the secondary. ... Cherry Creek is a traditional football powerhouse that has been extremely kind to Dartmouth in the past, sending along 1995 co-captains Taran Lent and Pete Oberle among others.

Curious about what the "goodie bags," players receiver from the various BCS Bowl Games? Some version of this story is written every year and it's always entertaining. From the story:

Bowls are permitted to give players $500 worth of bowl gifts. They range from standard-issue bowl souvenirs such as hooded sweatshirts and mini-helmets to nifty electronics such as iPods and Nintendo Wiis.

Electronics seem to rule the day, which is hardly a surprise.

And finally, we had a wonderful Christmas here on the shoulder of Moose Mountain. There will be some "returns" today, the second high school track meet of the winter tomorrow at Leverone (that certain Hanover High junior will be running the 3,000 while her brother the certain freshman will be running the 1,500) and then it's off to Massachusetts for two days for a second Christmas with the other side of the family.
