Questions abound for football during spring practice

After two weeks of spring practice, the football team has gained little except more questions. The team lost 23 seniors to graduation and played spring ball with 17 players out either because of injuries or because they were playing another sport.One of the biggest losses, however, did not fit in either of those categories ? former junior linebacker Zak Keasey, who led the team in tackles the last two seasons, was announced as academically ineligible for the 2003 season on March 26.Head coach Roger Hughes described his defense as a "doughnut" because of the lack of strength in its center ? defensive tackle and linebacker.With Keasey gone along with his fellow starters at linebacker, seniors J.R.

Bradley enjoying life at Princeton winning six league titles in six years

ESPN baseball analyst Peter Gammons quoted Tampa Bay center fielder Rocco Baldelli in a column on ESPN.com as saying that " 'if I had gotten into Princeton, I would have gone there mainly because of Scott Bradley.' No argument here."Gammons is a graduate of the University of North Carolina, the same alma mater as Bradley, the head baseball coach at Princeton."[Gammons] has followed me throughout my career," Bradley said, "and he's always looking out for his fellow Tar Heels."Bradley is on the verge of winning his sixth Lou Gehrig Division title in his six years on the job for the Tigers, though he plays down his role in the process, saying that he "was able to inherit a program that was on pretty solid ground."Bradley played in the major leagues as a catcher with the New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds from 1984-1992 and then coached in the minor leagues for the Braves and Rockies."I think the first thing you learn [from the major league experience] is that you can never treat your players the same way," Bradley said.
