On Deck Visit

Wow, just got finished with some cage work with Nick at On Deck Baseball Academy & ran across a couple of former opponents, Dylan Sterrett of Frontier/Chicago State University & Keifer Mikels formerly from Frontier and now with St. Josephs University, both superb ballplayers. Good luck to them this year.

More News On This Video

'Alexis Courage' headed for redemption"

Did you catch the “Alexis Courage” video on YouTube — the one recording a Lafayette girl’s misadventures through a hurdles race? More than 1 million people have when the video went viral in 2010. Now the story is heading for a retelling on a Comedy Central show. Read about it in Saturday’s J&C.

Central Catholic's YouTube sensation among top viral videos of 2010

STAFF REPORTS • December 28, 2010
A clip of a Lafayette girl crashing through a hurdle race has been ranked alongside the fainting kittens, slowed-down Olsen twin songs and sad Keanu's of the Internet world.

Entertainment blog Videogum - http://videogum.com - has included the now-famous clip of Central Catholic student Alexis Patzschke stumbling through a hurdle race in its list of "The Best Viral Videos of 2010: A Retrospective."

The blog chose 57 clips of work-wasting gems, including the "Bed Intruder Song," the over-enthusiastic wedding DJ and, of course, the "Double Rainbow" guy.

Videogum linked Patzschke's race to a clip that slows down the video and is set to a choral version of Radiohead's "Creep." The slow-motion clip showcases the humor of the event but also the perseverance and courage the girl showed by finishing the hurdle race, Patzschke's first ever as a seventh-grader at Central Catholic Junior High School.

The meet was from 2006 but the clip made global fame on computer and phone screens across the world after Patzschke posted it on YouTube in March.

The Radiohead mash-up has received almost 170,000 views. The original, "Alexis Courage," has more than 1 million views.

Central Catholic Baseball News!!!

Last year (2009) Coach Bordenet received an award for the team being International Catholic Team of the Year. A tremendous honor for both the players and the coaching staff at Central Catholic. This year Coach Bordenet receives another honor, District 4 Coach of the Year, congrats to him and all the players involved as well as parents that put in so much of their time to help this wonderful staff. As a parent, I'm so grateful that my son Nick has been a part of this and want to thank past Seniors & the coaching staff that have guided him through his first 2 varsity years, especially Taylor Glaze!!! Hopefully the torch has been passed on and the new team can carry the load this upcoming season.
