 Man High School won its first-ever boys' class single-A state basketball tournament championship earlier this month. You can now add to the list junior Austin Balls selection as captain of the All-State First Team, also another first for the Hillbillies. No man player in history has ever been named captain. Ball, who averaged 20 points per game, is one of five Hillbillies honored by the West Virginia Sports Riders Association. Junior Caleb Blevins was the second team pick, while Peyton Adams, Jackson Tackett, and Ryan Cozar were honorable mentions. Tug Valley Junior's standout Caleb May garnered first team honors after leading the Panthers back to the state tournament. He was the state's leading scorer at 24 points per game. Team-mate Ethan Colgrove was an honorable mention pick. Mountain Top Sports congratulates all those players for man in Tug Valley on this outstanding achievement. Cincinnati pitcher Louis Castillo could not bring him into his winless streak on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants, but the Reds starting pitcher could not solace that his performance resembled many of his great outings prior to 2021. Castillos struck out 11 batters over five innings, but an Alex Dickerson three-run home run did end him and the Reds during a 4-2 loss to the Giants at Great American Ballpark. He fell to 1-6 with a 7.44 ERA in nine starts this season, including a seven-start winless streak and a five-straight losing decision. Former Red Starter Anthony Descliffini gave the Giants seven innings and allowed one-earn run on Jesse Winker's lead-off homer to right-center field in the bottom of the first inning.
