Edwin Ogenio says: “Do not let anybody talk down on you for not having enough, or make you feel guilty, or less worth, as if you have done something wrong, or don’t have enough faith, because you don’t have enough money. All God is asking of you is to trust Him, because He is indeed faithful whenever we ask Him anything according to His will, to give it to us”.
And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will. And if we know he is listening when we make our requests, we can be sure that he will give us what we ask for. 1. John 5:14-15 NLT

After days of hunting down information on Shawn Tarkington’s (’97) move up the Major League Baseball ladder, the Panther Press has been able to come up with some answers. Thanks to the contributions of Sam Castelli (’96), Chris Cummings (’97) and Brian Beyrer (’97).
Seton Hall University’s sport’s web site is reporting that the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft has selected Shawn Tarkington for the Minnesota Twins. He is currently in his second week at Ft. Meyers, Florida playing for the Gulf Coast Rookie League.
Tarkington’s move to the major leagues is no surprise given his stellar performance on the diamond. As an all around athlete Shawn was ranked the 9th best baseball player in New York State, was 2001 All-Big East 1st Team player, and had a remarkable 8 inning shut out game in the Big East Championship Game. Tarkington graduated from Seton Hall this past spring.
Though now apparently concentrating on baseball and his pitching, Shawn was an all around athlete in high school. He played in the New York State finals for Basketball in 1997 along with Mike Marschner (’97), Rich Montesarchio (’98), Brian Beyrer (’97), Mike Rodriguez (’97) and Evan Hanahoe (’98).
Tarkington’s stats are as follows:
W-L PCT ERA G GS SV IP H AB R ER BB SO
0-0 .000 5.14 4 0 0 7.0 9 30 4 4 1 6
As of now, Tarkington’s team holds an 8-4 record and is a playoff contender. Shawn will remain in Florida through the month of August awaiting his playoffs chances.
