...Shawn has a tough road ahead of him. Though he will attend his class's graduation ceremony to watch his peers get diplomas, he won't be on stage, at least not yet. Even the school's efforts to speed up his credit recovery haven't been enough, so he will have to return for a fifth year at Shelbyville High. It's no fun for a 19-year-old to be in high school. Shawn is already a big guy who doesn't like to draw attention to himself...
...Shawn's hopes are bolstered by his plan.

...baseball team split a doubleheader with Penn (8-20, 3-7 Ivy), losing the first game 1-0 in the final inning and winning the second by a 7-0 margin. The Crimson offense struggled to complement the efforts of the team’s two top pitchers, sophomore Shawn Haviland and freshman Adam Cole, who impressed by allowing only one run over 15 innings. Junior Brendan Byrne and senior Josh Klimkiewicz had solid days at the plate. Byrne went 3-6 during the day, including a eighth-inning double that broke the second game open for the Crimson...
