CRANBERRY TWP — Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic senior Sam Breen has been named Pennsylvania Class 4A Girls Basketball Player of the Year by the state's sports writers.

The 6-foot-1 senior forward averaged 23.7 points, 10.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. She was named Butler Eagle Girls Basketball Player of the Year a few weeks earlier.

Breen had signed a letter of intent with the University of Dayton, but has since asked to opt out of that decision.

[naviga:h2]Condolences pour in for NFL star Heap[/naviga:h2]

PHOENIX — Condolences poured in for retired NFL player Todd Heap and his family on Saturday, a day after police say the former Pro Bowl tight end accidentally ran over his 3-year-old daughter with a truck, killing her.

Heap was moving the truck at his home in Mesa, a Phoenix suburb, on Friday when he struck the girl, police said. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The Baltimore Ravens, Heap’s longtime former team, called the accident “knee-buckling news and an overwhelming tragedy.”

Jay Feely, who played with Heap on the Arizona Cardinals, wrote on Twitter : “My heart is broken for Todd Heap and his family. One of the kindest persons I’ve ever met and a man who lives for his family.”

Heap spent 10 seasons with the Ravens, who selected him in the first round out of Arizona State in 2001.

[naviga:h2]‘Stuck’ baseball sells for $2,015[/naviga:h2]

NEW YORK — Talk about some serious sticker shock!

The baseball that curiously stuck to Yadier Molina’s chest protector during a game this month was sold for $2,015 in a St. Louis Cardinals online auction. There were 58 bids for the ball, and the winner was declared when the auction closed Sunday night.

By now, most fans are familiar with the bizarre play: Cardinals reliever Brett Cecil struck out pinch-hitter Matt Szczur of the Chicago Cubs on a pitch in the dirt April 6. The ball bounced up and somehow stuck to Molina’s chest protector as the Gold Glove catcher looked around trying to find it.
