Jim Haley's Annual Rookie Sensations, October 25, 2003
I missed the opportunity to check out Jim Haley's Annual Rookie Sensations camp this past weekend. However, we have the opportunity to welcome a new member to our group of high school editors. He will be providing news and information from the west coast around the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Bradenton area. We'll bring you more on our new editor soon. For now, on with who's who from the one day event. Thanks, Robert!
