Gatorade national player of the year

Long time no blog, shame on me!

Kyle Skipworth of Patriot High School in Riverside, Calif., has been named the Gatorade National Player of the Year in baseball - he's the latest announced winner of the award.

Today's the scheduled "last countable date" for regular-season baseball, softball and lacrosse games, but several have been rescheduled, with permission from the Maine Principals' Association. Check out the PPH's news updates for a list of postponements.

If you're like me you stayed up Monday night to watch all 5 1/2 periods of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Pittsburgh's 4-3 win over Detroit. If you've ever wondered how athletes from high school to the pros are able to carry themselves while working overtime, Pittsburgh forward Maxime Talbot AND Al Green, a spokesman for the National Athletic Trainers Association, provide a medical explanation.

Rachel is in her fourth year as a sports reporter at the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. A Maryland native and a former college soccer and softball player, she covered high school and college sports at newspapers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Colorado before joining the Press Herald/Sunday Telegram staff in June of 2004.

She grew up watching the NHL, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Georgetown basketball and the Baltimore Orioles and is a confessed sports nut. Her interests include reading and movies, going to the gym, Motown and '70s R&B music and following the New York City tabloids.

Married in July, she and her husband Tommy are avid Steelers and Kansas Jayhawks fans. Their toughest decision as newlyweds has been "NESN or ESPN?"
