Unfortunately, the beginning of the high school sports season means the end of the summer season but so goes the circle of life.
High school football teams begin practice on Monday, the rest of the sports begin about five days later and then the fun begins after Labor Day.
Before that, however, there is one bit of unfinished business that will reach a conclusion on this Wednesday.
Fitch High School graduate, Matt Harvey, will have to make a decision. Take what the Los Angeles Angels are offering or go to the University of North Carolina in five days.
I spoke with his father, Ed, as they cruised Long Island Sound yesterday and he has spoken with the Angels in the past couple days although he said no decision would be made until late tonight. The deadline for a decision is midnight.
It has been said the Harveys are looking for about $2.5 million for the third-round pick of the Angels to sign. The family may take some cues from a signing that occurred yesterday.
A friend of Matt's, Detroit's first-round pick as well as fellow Scott Boras client, Rick Porcello, came to a contact agreement with the Tigers.
The pitcher from Seton Hall Prep in New Jersey inked a four-year deal worth $7.28 million.
Matt has consistently said he is gearing up to go to North Carolina, we'll find out later on tonight if that will be the case. As soon as we get word, we will post it on norwichbulletin.com.
