Vandals jeopardize youth baseball team's fall season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- On a late summer evening in south Charlotte, kids practice baseball anticipating tryouts for the fall season. It is an almost perfect picture, except for one thing.
?

The outfield fence is lying on the ground and the snack shack next to the playing field is nothing but charred ashes.
?

John Smith is President of Sardis Dixie Youth Baseball.
?

"At first it was utter disbelief," Smith said.
?

He is the one who found the snack shack burned down last April.
?

Fire investigators believe vandals set fire to a porta-john and as it burned it collapse onto the snack shack.
?

Smith's son, Jackson, is one of the players.
?

"Why would they do that," wondered Jackson.
?

But there was more to come.
?

Over the Fourth of July holiday, someone rammed through the outfield fence in a vehicle and then sped off.
?

With a broken fence, the kids will not be able to play here for the fall season that begins in September.
?

"I'm not one to hold a grudge," the elder Smith said. "I just want to get the fence fixed so that I can keep the field running for these kids."
?

Estimates are it will cost about $800 to repair the fence in time for the fall season.
?

Rebuilding the snack shack will be a lot more expensive.
?

"Early estimates from contractors I have spoke to say between three and $5,000," said Smith.
?

Smith is hoping some local businesses will step in and help.

2014 NFL Draft Preseason Scouting Notes: Eric Ebron

North Carolina?s Eric Ebron is one of the most explosive tight ends in college football. (photo: wralsportsfan.com)

DraftBrowns.com Editor: Brendan Leister

School: North Carolina

Position: Tight End

Jersey number: #85

Class: Junior

Size: 6?4?, 245 lbs.

Eric Ebron is one of the most athletic tight ends in all of college football. ?Not only does Ebron?s athleticism show up on the offensive side of the ball, but North Carolina?s coaching staff also used him as a situational pass rusher at times during his sophomore campaign.

During Ebron?s freshman season in 2011, he caught 10 passes and produced 207 yards (20.7 yards per reception) and a touchdown. ?Ebron took a big leap during his second season at Chapel Hill. ?As a sophomore in 2012, Ebron caught 40 passes and produced 625 yards (15.63 yards per reception) and four touchdowns.

Eric Ebron is an incredibly talented receiving tight end who must improve at doing the little things. ?In the games that I viewed, Ebron had too many dropped passes. ?Whether the drops had to do with focus or simply having poor hands, this is something that he must improve upon if he wishes to take his game to the next level. ?Ebron is an extremely smooth and explosive athlete who regularly uses his athletic ability to get behind linebackers and threaten the seam of the defense. ?Ebron also displays a considerable amount of toughness when running routes over the middle. ?Although he does not always catch every pass in traffic, he does not back down, and still keeps going over the middle unafraid of taking big hits. ?Ebron regularly fights for yards after the catch and he can be difficult for defenders to bring down once he gets a head full of steam. ?When forced to adjust to passes away from his frame, Ebron displays excellent body control, but struggles to come down with the passes too often. ?All in all, Ebron?s high upside as a receiver is apparent and cleaning up the dropped passes would be huge in taking the next step in his development.

Ebron is a very versatile tight end. ?He has experience playing in the slot and as an in-line tight end. ?With Ebron?s combination of supreme athletic ability and size, I could see a team flexing him out wide and forcing the defense to match up with him on an island with a cornerback, safety, or linebacker. ?Football is a game of matchups and explosive, versatile tight ends like Ebron are highly sought after for a reason.

As a blocker, Ebron does a solid job overall. ?Although he consistently gives great effort and typically executes his assignment, Ebron must do a better job of keeping his hands inside, lowering his pad level, and driving his legs on contact on a play-in, play-out basis. ?Doing these things will allow Ebron to engage with defenders longer while allowing him to move defenders further off the point of attack. ?One area where I was very impressed with Ebron was in his ability to understand where the run was going and seal his man away from the run. ?All in all, Ebron shows flashes of being a very good blocking tight end. ?To take the next step during his junior season, Ebron must do all of the little things correctly with much more consistency.

As a situational pass rusher, Ebron looks extremely explosive and flexible off the edge. ?Although I only saw him in this capacity in limited snaps, it was evident that he possesses some pass rush potential and I would not be surprised to see him pass rushing in an expanded role this season. ?I do not expect NFL teams to look at Ebron as a conversion candidate, but you never know. ?If a team believes that he has more potential as a pass rusher, it is possible that he could be moved to defensive end or outside linebacker at the next level.

It is easy to see that Eric Ebron has a ton of potential as an all around tight end prospect. ?There are simply not many tight ends on the planet with his combination of size and athleticism. ?If Ebron can do the little things with much more consistency, he has a great chance of being a high pick whenever he decides to declare for the NFL Draft.

Valerie Harper: Started Production on TV Movie After Brain Cancer Diagnosis

Valerie Harper has started production in Vancouver on a new TV movie called, "The Town that Came A Courtin." Harper, famously known to play Rhoda on the Mary Tyler Moore Show announced that she was battling terminal brain cancer in early March.

The UP cable channel announced that the movie was slated to premiere in January. The movie also stars Cameron Bancroft, Lauren Holly and Lucie Guest. In the movie, Harper plays the owner of a hotel who is trying to help a romance flourish between a widowed mayor and an author.

"When I learned that the remarkable Valerie Harper was interested in working, I was so excited, because that meant she was doing well," Barbara Fisher, programming chief at UP, said to ?AP. "We are thrilled to have this iconic talent in our film and awed by her determination to live each day to the fullest. She is truly an inspiration."

At the time that Harper announced she had brain cancer, doctors said she could have had as little as three months to live.

"The thing I have is -- is very rare and it's serious and it's incurable . . . so far," she said. "So I'm holding on to the 'so far, " she said on the Today Show.

Harper added she is remaining "hopeful" and has the intention to "live each . . . moment fully." She said, "I'm not dying until I do."

She went on a number of talk-show appearances to talk about her condition and also reunited with some Mary Tyler Moore co-stars including Mary Tyler Moore and Cloris Leachman for an episode of "Hot in Cleveland."

"UP, which is based in Atlanta, airs on Time Warner Cable (Ch. 152), DirecTV (Ch. 338) and DISH network (Ch. 188) - and bills itself as airing "uplifting family?entertainment," reported The New York Post.
