HS BASE: Small-school star's stats could be even bigger
Small-schools baseball standout Josh Clark of Hillcrest Christian of Granada Hills hit another home run Tuesday, his ninth of the season. Clark is producing quite a sophomore season - a .696 batting average, 32 RBIs and a 1.435 slugging percentage -- but because Hillcrest Christian has scheduled so few games, he could be doing a lot more.
Hillcrest Christian finishes today against Santa Clarita Christian, and it's only the 16th game of the season compared to other programs that play as many as 29.
Averaging Clark's stats over a 29-game season, he would have 17 home runs and 62 RBIs - not including playoffs.
Of course, sometimes small-school baseball stats can be out of whack. For example, this past Friday saw Cornerstone Christian of Camarillo draw 17 walks and total 18 stolen bases in a 33-0 victory over visiting First Lutheran of Sylmar.

this kid is the real thing
only a sophomore but already measuring 6'3" and about 195 lbs, the last towering HR that he hit on Tuesday was measured at 424 feet.
