Parkland High School Baseball

The Parkland High School baseball team recently held a Youth Hitting Clinic in the high school gymnasium for kids in grades 3-7 who want to improve their skills and get ready for their upcoming season.  Tony Galucy, head baseball coach at Parkland, along with his assistant coaches and returning varsity players, lead two 90-minute sessions of hitting drills and routines which the Parkland team uses during their season.

 

“The Parkland Baseball hitting clinic is a great way to get the baseball season started. The kids go through many of the same hitting drills the Parkland baseball players do every day in practice,” says Galucy.  See more photos from this event in our photo albums section.

The Parkland Baseball Booster Club hosted the 5th Annual Classic Rock Night at Willow Tree Grove on Saturday night.  A lively crowd enjoyed the Flamin' Caucasians as they played numerous classics that kept the dance floor humming.  The final song of the night, John Fogarty's "Centerfield," even got Coach Galucy onto the dance floor.   Along with good food and drink, attendees participated in both a basket auction and silent auction.  All proceeds benefit the baseball program.  The booster club thanks all of our friends and supporters who came out to enjoy this evening in support of the the baseball program.

Nick Rabasco and Matt Hurd were joined by 9 other Parkland athletes as they participated in the National Letter of Intent Day Ceremony at Parkland High School.  Nick and Matt were the only baseball players in our area to sign on this day.  Rabasco will attend the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) on athletic scholarship where he plans to major in math or business.  Hurd will attend Bloomsburg University on athletic scholarship where he plans to major in accounting.  Family and friends looked on as Coach Galucy honored Nick and Matt for their scholarship achievement and their accomplishments on the baseball field.

The Parkland Baseball Booster Club is proud to present the 5th ANNUAL CLASSIC ROCK NIGHT on February 11, 2012.  This year's fundraising event features the return of The Flamin' Caucasians.  Please join us at Willow Tree Grove from 7:30 - 11:00 PM.  Click on the headline link above for further details and how to purchase tickets.
