Seattle-Area DE Headed To Hanover

Add Mick Davis, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive end from Eastside Catholic High School and Renton, Wash., to the list of recruits in the Class of 2013. A three-year letterwinner on the gridiron, Davis was named Eastside's top lineman as a junior when he was chosen second-team All-Metro offensive tackle/honorable mention defensive end. As a senior he was picked for the All-Metro first team at offensive tackle and to the All-Metro second-team at defensive end.

Davis was an Eastside Catholic captain, the school's football scholar-athlete and a finalist for the King Country Scholar-Athlete award as a senior. The creator of the Eastside Catholic lifting program, he was scheduled to go to Tijuana, Mexico over the midwinter break to build houses for poverty stricken families. Find a head-and-shoulders picture of Mick Davis here.

What follows is the incoming class I've been able to pull together so far. I've gotten emails with several more names but haven't been able to confirm them. Because no official announcement about the class will be made until all the paperwork is in a few weeks from now, positions and heights/weights listed for the regular-decision class are generally per the recruits (or their families) or published reports. Several of the incoming players are officially recruits of other sports but have indicated that they will be playing football. (Corrections and additions aren't just welcomed, they are encouraged ;-)

In case you are wondering, spring football is slated to begin one week from today.

A good number of football players were spotted over the weekend checking in on the baseball team, which swept back-to-back doubleheaders against Princeton and Cornell. Dartmouth is now 8-0 in the Ivy League, its best start ever in conference play. According to a Dartmouth release, the best previous start was a 7-0 mark by the 1937 team in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League. Blistering start of not, Dartmouth can't relax with 7-1 Brown visiting Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park this weekend for a crucial pair of doubleheaders.

And finally, if you've been following this blog for a while, you know about those two Hanover High School student-athletes who call Moose Mountain home. With the HHS junior visiting some seriously expensive colleges – and the realization setting in that college bills will follow – I've tossed together a website to promote my freelancing work. (You didn't think the blog and Big Green Alert carried the day, did you?)

The site isn't really directed at readers of this blog, but if you've got some extra time and are curious, it has links to a few stories I've written about Dartmouth football over the years. You can find them at the obnoxiously named brucewoodwriting.com. There are five football stories behind the Writing link.
