ICC May Drop Pakistani Champions Trophy Venue

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Cricket Championship Trophy

Trophy News From Pakistan

The International Cricket Council said it could drop the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi as one of the three venues for September’s Champions Trophy.

Eliminating Rawalpindi, which adjoins the capital Islamabad, would leave all the trophy matches to be played in the southern port city of Karachi and the eastern cultural capital of Lahore.

“It is a strong possibility that we will reduce the Champions Trophy to two venues but the event will be played in Pakistan,” ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said during a visit to Rawalpindi Stadium.

Lorgat is leading a high-profile six-man ICC task force which is here to oversee security arrangements for the trophy amid threats of a boycott by some non-Asian teams.

The ICC last month decided to keep the biennial event in Pakistan despite security concerns raised by players from Australia, New Zealand, England and South Africa.

The players associations of these countries and FICA had called for a relocation of the trophy over player safety following a series of suicide bombings in Pakistan.

Local media reports said Rawalpindi stadium, where renovation work is well behind schedule, may be dropped.

Lorgat said security could not be assessed at Rawalpindi as it did not host any matches in the recent Asia Cup.

“During the Asia Cup there were no fixtures at Rawalpindi and that didn’t provide us an opportunity to check the security arrangements, so there was no way we can formulate an opinion on Rawalpindi,” Mr Lorgat said.

“We are trying to explore whether we might use only Lahore and Karachi and take a decision soon.”

The taskforce also met security officials, including senior interior ministry officials.

The suicide bombings in Pakistan prompted Australia to postpone their planned tour of the country in March.

Orem Owlz Win Baseball Trophy

Trophies news from Salt Lake City, UT

McCurdy, Pioneer League president, presented the Orem Owlz owner, Jess Katofsky, with a towering baseball trophy that represented the team’s 2007 championship baseball title on Tuesday. The championship pennant was raised into the center field of Brent Brown Stadium and Katofsky declared that the trophy was finally home.

Following the ceremony was Opening Day as a record crowd of 4,211 watched as the Owlz and Raptors battle into the 13th inning, when Angel Castillo’s long, two-out single to right scored Darwin Perez from third base in the bottom of the 13th to give Orem a 6-5 win and the win.

For McCurdy, president since 1994, Opening Day was another reminder of the health of the league. Seven of McCurdy’s eight teams have refurbished their parks within the past six years.

“I always get a great feeling when I come to the ballpark early,” he said. “Even at the major league level, I get there for infield practice, there’s an energy.”

Softball League Trophies Presented

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

This past week the Natchez Adams Girls’ Softball League in Natchez, MS held their closing ceremonies, giving out the trophies for all of the top teams, coaches, and players.

The top trophy winners for T-ball, coach pitch, 11 and under and 12 and under were Chris Hinson of Natchez Community Hospital, Chris Kelly of Natchez Coke, Jody Upton of Sonic and Greg Brown, of Natchez Bus Terminal, respectively. The trophies were presented by Belinda Brashier, the league organizer. Brashier made sure to mention that the trophies did not go to the coaches that “won the most games, but taught the kids how to win, lose, and play with class.”

The biggest award of the night was the Riana Flynn Memorial Scholarship. The $500 scholarship and trophy went to Brittany Jackson, 17, of Adams County Christian School. Brashier said Jackson earned the trophy because she displays quality sportsmanship, and is an amicable and outgoing individual.

Trophies and medals for Penn athletes

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Pennsylvania athletes brought home several trophies and medals over the past week

Local fans were riveted to Friday night’s Class AAA matchup between Steel-High and Susquehanna Twp., an unusual championship game pairing two teams from the same area.

Only one team takes home the trophy, however, and Steel-High added yet more hardware to the school’s trophy case.

The same day, the Central Dauphin girls gave the school its first state basketball championship by coming from behind in the second half to beat Mount Lebanon for the AAAA, or large-school, title.

As Central Dauphin and Steel-High paraded championship trophies around Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center, East Pennsboro’s Leah Gingrich spent Friday and Saturday setting two state swimming records in winning Class AA gold medals in the 200-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle at Bucknell University.

Gingrich wasn’t the only local swimmer to make a big splash during the four days at Kinney Natatorium. Hershey’s Katie Nolan was named the outstanding swimmer in the girls AAA meet by taking two individual gold medals in the 100-yard butterfly (in state record time) and 100-yard free, and earning a third with teammates Erica Rapp, Katelyn Miller and Jordan Liedholm in the 400-free relay.

Younger brother David Nolan added to the family mantel with a boys AA gold in the 200-yard IM. A fourth area swimmer, Cumberland Valley’s Steven Gasparini, captured gold in the boys AAA 200 IM.

These performances came a week after Central Dauphin won the AAA state team wrestling championship at the Giant Center.

Congratulations to all of the Pennsylvania trophy and medal winners!

Trophies News spotlights the new Carolina Basketball Museum

UNC’s Carolina Basketball Museum, which opened to the public on Jan. 28, features more than 450 pieces of memorabilia and trophies from the celebrated basketball program. The museum cost $3.4 million and covers 8,000 square feet.

The new museum is an upgrade from the much smaller memorabilia and trophy room in the Smith Center, which was used for other sports as well. The only other university with a basketball-only museum is Kentucky.

The trophy room is filled with ACC championship, Final Four and NCAA championship memorabilia. The NCAA Championship trophy case still has room for four more trophies, should UNC win them someday.

The idea was formed roughly five years ago when Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith decided to donate his extensive collection of memorabilia to North Carolina.

“I think that Carolina fans are a pretty passionate group about the basketball team,” said Steve Kirschner, UNC’s associate athletic director for communications and a member of the museum committee. “We’ve been blessed with a great deal of success, both great teams, great players, great coaches. We’ve never had one place where we’ve been able to bring all that together in terms of the memorabilia and the trophies. We have that now with this museum.”
