(Thanks to Sister BGA for shooting a copy of the story up this way and to a reader for alerting me to it. ;-)
The article notes that Williams, a shortstop, batted .412 with five home runs, 36 runs batted in and 24 stolen bases last year for Lake Dallas High School and then came back and threw for almost 4,000 yards and 37 touchdowns in the fall.
Although an earlier story suggested he's considering it, there's no word on whether he will join Dartmouth freshman wide receiver Bo Patterson as a football-baseball player in Hanover – although given that he's a quarterback combining baseball with spring football practice could be problematic.
Find Williams' recruiting page from Rivals here, his page from Scout here and the Morning News story previously linked to about the "underrated QB tradition" at his high school here.

This is about as "un-football" as you can get, but it's kind of fun. A reader sent along a link to a New York Times story about New Hampshire being the only state in the country that offers ski jumping as a high school sport. Hanover High, which figures prominently in the story, finished second yesterday in the state meet.That sent me off looking for a picture of the old ski jump at Hanover Country Club, the Vale de Temp. Here's an info page with a few pictures. Watching the ski jump competition at Winter Carnival was quite the experience.

It's the first day of February vacation for That Certain Hanover High Senior and the kid has earned it. I don't think there's been a night this winter that he's spent less than five hours on homework. It leaves you feeling a little guilty when you turn out the lights and he's still sitting at his desk with a text book open.
