♦ From Prep Baseball Report Profile on Brett Bond:
The switch hitter showed he can handle the bat from both sides of the plate, barreling up the ball a few times over the weekend while hitting hard line drives right at opposing players. He managed only one hit, but that doesn’t tell the whole story on is performance at the plate. Bond also has surprising speed for a catcher.

As well as he’s played on the football field, Bond’s future lies on the diamond. Brock Bond, 27, who starred at Lindbergh, played college baseball at Arkansas and Missouri. He currently is on the roster of the Fresno Grizzlies, the Triple A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.
“I love both sports a lot,” Bond said. “But baseball is my sport. It is in my bloodlines.”
