Blakeley was named a first team all-star by the Cleveland Plain Dealer and The News Herald. He is a three-year letterwinner for the Lake Catholic baseball and basketball teams. He has tremendous size and yet still runs and throws exceptionally well. Defensively, he has the ability to play as a freshman. He ll just have to adjust to college pitching.
Burns also is an Honor Roll student.
Kane High does not field a baseball team, but McCormack has played for the Mount Jewett American Legion team the past three summers and was voted team MVP last year. He just hasn t played against good competition yet, so he ll need time to adjust, but he s got great potential. He has been a starter at Bradford since his freshman year and also plays in the Olean Amateur Baseball League and for the McKean American Legion team. Last spring for Bradford, he batted .382 with four home runs and 20 RBI, leading the team in all three categories. He also was named team captain, the first Bradford player appointed to that role as a junior.
