JOSE, JOSE -- Ever wonder where Lehigh's Jose Olivero gets his toughness from? In today's Morning Call. the Mountain Hawks' high-scoring guard, and reveals that secret:
LOW NUMBERS -- Not many Lehigh students actually get to see Olivero display his talents. If you have been to a game at Stabler in recent seasons, you won't be surprised by this about poor student attendance at Lehigh sporting events. One thing they left out: They mention an organization called the Pink Ladies that brought out 255 female students for the Lehigh-Holy Cross women's game. What would have added some perspective to the story is that by the time the men's nightcap started, less than a dozen of those pink T-shirts could still be seen in the Stabler stands.
BUS CRASH FOLLOW -- Ed Laubach doesn't write enough. The Express-Times sports editor was one of the guys who covered the league when it first started playing hoops back in the day, and still ranks as one of the top guys ever to have covered the Patriot League beat. These days, his management duties keep him away from the gyms for the most part, but now and then he checks in with a story, like on last Saturday's fatal crash that involved the Holy Cross team bus.
ET'S NOTEBOOK -- Eric Thomas, who covers Bucknell for the Shamokin News-Item, uses his personal blog to supplement the coverage he does for the paper. That's where he from the Bucknell-American game, including a defense of our previous claim that Darren Mastropaolo is the second best big man in the league, behind his teammate Chris McNaughton. We wrote that before Holy Cross' Tim Clifford got his game on track, but we're not sure that makes any difference. As E points out, Mastropaolo does all the things that don't show up in box scores, and does them very well.
Olivero is a mirror image of his father, Jose Raul Olivero, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret and former Colonel of Special Forces in Afghanistan.His father, by the way, lettered in soccer and lacrosse at Army.
