CHRISTIAN MUSIC: Christian Staehely fires a pitch in action this spring during his senior season with the Princeton University baseball team. After posting a team-high six wins this spring, Staehely was chosen last month by the Seattle Mariners in the 39th round of the Major League Baseball draft. After a stint in Peoria, Ariz., Staehely is currently pitching for Seattle’s Everett, Wash. short season Class A team where he is 0-0 in three relief appearances with a 5.06 ERA. |
Christian Staehely didn’t envision himself as heading to a boot camp environment after graduating from Princeton University last month.

It didn’t take long for Clint O’Brien to distinguish himself at quarterback for the Princeton Day School football team.

For recently graduated PDS star receiver Andrew Ojeda, the chance to play in the 12th annual Sunshine Football Classic on July 2 at The College of New Jersey’s Lions Stadium is an opportunity to showcase what the Panther program has to offer.
Charlotte Gray was in a pressure situation and she could feel her nerves jangling.
With the Princeton 12-year-old All-Star softball team locked in a 1-1 tie with West Windsor in the bottom of the sixth inning last Sunday in the District 12 Little League tournament, Gray strolled to the plate with the bases loaded.
