I'm Back!


As the title says, yes, it's true. The DC Sports Kid is back! I took a one month "sabbatical", partly because I got punished, partly because I had more hockey tryouts, partly because school was almost over, but now that it is, and summer is here, I'll be blogging throughout it.

The Stanley Cup is well underway. The Anaheim Ducks are up two games to one against The Ottawa Senators. The Ducks should win, as they have been successful in shutting down Ottawa's top line of
Alfredsson, Spezza, and Heatley in the two games that they have won. In their losing effort, though, Alfredsson scored a goal. this series will be decided by the performance of this line.

The NBA Draft is coming up on June 28. I think that Portland will choose Oden over Durant with the #1 pick. Durant will then probably go to Seattle, who has the #2 pick. A round of applause for Roy Hibbert for staying with the Hoyas. Jeff Green chose otherwise, and will probably be a top 10 pick in the draft. I saw Roy on the street a few days ago. I held up my pointer finger in a "1" sign, and he did it back. Hopefully the Hoyas can win the championship next season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs are in the NBA Finals. I want Cleveland to win, but I think the Spurs will. LeBron James is the X Factor in this series. If the Spurs can contain him, they will definitely win. If not...

I'll try to be regular- with my sports blogs, that is! This is Connor R., signing off(with a new haircut, too!). This has been MY view in sports, from the DC Sports Kid!

Georgetown Loses To Ohio State

Georgetown lost. What more can I say?
This might give Green and Hibbert another reason to stay; so they can win a championship.
At least Kevin Durant won Player of the Year.

Georgetown Players - Stay In School!



A lot of people know that Roy Hibbert, Jeff Green, are juniors, and not seniors. These two players have another year left of NCAA eligibility. So why are Green and Hibbert considering leaving Georgetown and going to the NBA? It has been said that Hibbert needs to get better before going to the NBA, and Green would be the first person in his family to graduate from college. So are they staying or going? That choice is up to them.

Georgetown Beats UNC!!!







There haven't been any new posts for a while because I was punished. And no, these are not excuses. My mom will vouch for me. (she will probably post something confirming this).


Today,a miracle happened for us Hoya fans. The Georgetown Hoyas beat the North Carolina Tar Heels to get into the Final Four in Atlanta. They play Ohio State (my man Roy Hibbert is 2 inches taller than "40-year old" 7-footer Greg Oden). The game started off with UNC having a small lead which grew larger and smaller as the game progressed. But, Georgetown came back and tied the game into OT. Then, GTown had a lot of rebounds in order to make UNC score 3 points in all of OT. Hibbert, Jeff Green, Jessie Sapp, and Jonathan Wallace were big contributors to the Hoyas' 22-3 run, which made Georgetown win the game.


But, that wasn't the best part...
I live not too far from the Georgetown campus, so when the game was over, my brother, Mom and I put on our Hoya jerseys and ran out to the enormous mob forming by our house. We followed the mob until we got pretty far from the gates. We led the crowd with rousing chants of "Hoya Saxa!!!" Many soon-to-be-drunk college students said such things as:"Oh look, a Baby Hoya" , " You rule kid", "You rock", and "Oh look it's my little brother". We got countless high-fives from students, Numerous pictures taken of us, and I am SURE that someone posted something of me on YouTube (go see for yourself)
Newsflash!
I'm on TV (FOX 5 to be exact)
This was a great night, and I'm sure I will remember it (at least until my hoarse voice gets better).
