Sunday, February 9, 2003 By Crystal Parker Basketball is another one of those sports where each game you enter on the court should be like the first. The level of your play should be as high as if it was on opening day. But can a team play at that level through out the entire season? It's a feat only few can accomplish. So what happens when both the Lady Lions from Sacred Heart and the talents of the girl's basketball team from Highland High School get together for the Shootout at the Shore at Mainland Regional? One team seems to find a weakness and do their best to exploit it. Sacred Heart did exactly that as they held on for the 41-38 victory. |

Wednesday, February 5, 2003 By Mike Costantino I was recently fortunate enough to be invited to the Phillies Ballpark Preview Center along with other media contingents. The Ballpark Preview Center is a 12,000 square foot building situated on South 7th street, not far from the ongoing construction of Philadelphia’s other new stadiums. Chief communication officer Sharon Swainson greets us along with her assistant Deborah. Sharon is also the spokesperson for the new ballpark. Having worked in television, as an executive for Disney, and assisted in opening other ballparks, Sharon’s experience is very impressive. The Preview Center features full-scale mock-ups of suite and club areas. These areas are used as display sites for the championship trophy, briefing and closer rooms. So far it’s been a great marketing tool for selling 58 of the 71 suites available. |
