The Blackhawk Maverick is on hiatus.

 Due to me being busy with school and extracurricular activities, I have decided to put the Maverick on hiatus. This is not the end at this point, however, you will not be seeing new content for a while. To see who commits where, go to blackhawkcougars.org for signings or check out Twitter for offers and verbal commitments.  Thanks, Maverick

100 views! Plus updates

I have just learned that over 100 people have seen this blog. I did not see that coming when I started this up. I thought that it would just be seen by around 50 in its first year, but I was able to get more than that. Also, I see we have some international viewers. Welcome to the Blackhawk Maverick! Also, I have some updates regarding myself, the blog, and a subject of the blog. On the topic of myself, I will be busy in the near future, so expect updates to be sporadic and when news happens. Second, expect signing news to begin in November, as the National Letter of Intent, which is what D1 and D2 recruits sign to commit to a college, allows signings for those divisions beginning November 9th for all other sports, April for D1 basketball in the regular period, and February for D1 and D2 football. Although Division 3 uses a ceremonial signing, signing ceremonies take place within the same time period as NLI signings. Changing topics to the teacher update, Herr Chuang has been signed on...

Staff Change Updates

 As the first day of school has arrived, new teachers have arrived too. Here are a few updates to my previous piece on teacher changes.  The German teacher has been revealed to be Herr Chuang. However, according to school board records, this appears to be a long-term substitute agreement, so Herr Chuang may not be back next school year. Mrs. Gantz is stuck at Ambridge, her former employer, until Ambridge hires a new counselor. At best, she comes over later this month. At worst, she will come in November. Until then, Mr. Yuhaniak will be school counselor for the whole school. Mrs. McCowin will be taking over as sophomore class sponsor, according to board records.

Blackhawk Sports Extra: Updates

 There have been updates regarding Michael Turconi and football recruiting. This post is dedicated to those updates. On August 30th, after less than a month in Dunedin, Michael Turconi was promoted to the High-A Vancouver Canadians after posting 13 runs batted in, a .278 batting average, and 1 home run. As of when I am writing this, he is off to a hot start in Vancouver, as he has accumulated 7 singles in 5 games. Tyler Jannuzi ( OLB/DE-FB/TE, Football) was offered by Waynesburg University (DIII/PAC).
