Prep talk: Four players to watch for Southern Section Division 1 baseball semifinals
There's no holding back for Tuesday's Southern Section Division 1 baseball semifinals. The quarterfinals were full of drama and close games. Now comes the real fun: Ace vs. ace, top team vs. top team. It will be St. John Bosco hosting Corona on its new field and Santa Margarita hosting Crespi. Here's four players who could be difference makers: Advertisement Jackson Eisenhauer, Crespi. He started the season without allowing any earned runs in 51 innings. He missed Crespi's 2023 Division 2 championship season because of an injury. He throws strikes, has a sweeping curveball and is cool under pressure.

He's good whether starting or relieving and will be needed at some point in a game that figures to be close and nerve-wracking. Anthony Murphy, Corona. The junior center fielder and lead-off batter has come on strong, batting .426 with a team high 11 home runs on a team filled with pro prospects. The only time the 28-2 Panthers have lost were by shutouts, so you either deal with Murphy or go down to defeat. Corona has 16 shutout victories and will have Seth Hernandez (18-0 in two years) on the mound. Advertisement Noah Everly, St. John Bosco. The junior is batting .361 with three home runs and 26 RBIs. He also can pitch. When he has a big day at the plate, the Trinity League champs are tough to beat and he'll need to do something against Hernandez and his 98 mph fastball. The winners advance to the championship game at Cal State Fullerton to be Friday or Saturday. This is a daily look at the positive happenings in high school sports.

Prep talk: Matthew Gonzalez of Banning shows how to play at Dodger Stadium
A teammate hugs Banning catcher Matthew Gonzalez after a 3-1 loss to Carson at Dodger Stadium. He threw out two runners trying to steal during the loss. (Eric Sondheimer / Los Angeles Times) For senior catcher Matthew Gonzalez of Banning, Saturday's City Section Division I championship baseball game at Dodger Stadium ended in tears after a 3-1 defeat to Carson. Few were more impressive on the field than Gonzalez, who hardly passes the eyeball test at 5-foot-6 and 130 pounds. Thank goodness players in high school usually earn spots by their ability and performance and not by physical measurements. Advertisement He threw out two runners trying to steal second with throws that looked like they came out of a bazooka. Twice in the seventh inning he made plays at the plate, tagging runners with great expertise. The umpire ruled one runner safe (he looked out) and another runner out. Each time, Gonzalez moved on whether he agreed with the call or not. Afterward, Gonzalez received hugs from teammates and coaches trying to console him. He said he believed the runner sliding the first time was out but accepted the decision. You can see how much people appreciate his presence and character. Just like on the TV program "The Voice," ignore your eyes and what you see from physical dimensions. Just watch his arm strength and ability to block pitches and make plays at the plate. He was a catcher extraordinaire on a major league field. Nobody can take that away and perhaps someone will recognize he might help them in the future.

Bird flu: Wild bird tests positive for virus in Hays County
The Brief A wild bird in Hays County tested positive for bird flu The CDC says 70 human cases of bird flu have been detected in the U.S. There have been several other detections of bird flu throughout Central Texas HAYS COUNTY, Texas - A wild bird in Hays County tested positive for bird flu. While Hays County Health officials say the risk to the public is low, one group has a higher risk of contracting the virus. RELATED:Wild bird tests positive for bird flu in Hays County What we know The Hays County Health Department was notified by the state on Friday that a dead wild bird from the northwestern area of the county tested positive for the bird flu. Avian Influenza, also known as the bird flu, primarily affects wild birds, particularly waterfowl, and domestic poultry. "It was a vulture that tested positive for bird flu. It's something that we're seeing south of us in Comal County. There was a big die off of some of the vultures there that also tested positive," said Matthew Gonzalez, Hays County Health Department Manager. "The bird was not alive at the time. It was on a private property. The resident contacted Texas Parks and Wildlife, who then assisted with the collection of the bird," said Gonzalez. The Hays County Health Department advises those that work with wild birds, poultry, or dairy cows are at a greater risk of contacting bird flu if exposed to a sick or infected animal. "In general, we always caution individuals from coming into physical contact with a dead animal whenever they don't know the cause of death because you don't know if it was a certain bacteria that may have caused the death of the animal. In this case, you don't know if it was the virus that did it," said Gonzalez. What they're saying While human infections are rare, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 70 cases nationwide, with one death recorded so far. Symptoms in humans resemble the flu and can also include pink eye. As for how the transmission happens through animals, "Through the shedding of the animal so that means any bodily fluids, any waste, any urine of any kind that's been transmitted to other avian species, but also what we're seeing in say the feline species of cats we're seeing that's a way of it being transmitted," said Gonzalez. What they're saying According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, widespread detections have happened across Texas, with the most recent findings in Wharton, Galveston, El Paso, Potter and Harris counties. The San Antonio Zoo shared on social media Monday saying a dead wild black bird is undergoing further testing for potential bird flu, even temporarily closing some of its exhibits as a result. Just last month, multiple domestic ducks were recovered at the pond on the northeast corner of the Arboretum Blvd and 360 Capital of Texas Highway intersection in northwest Austin. Earlier this month, multiple black vultures were found at Landa Park in New Braunfels, according to TWPD. Why you should care The CDC recommends avoiding sources of exposure as the best way to protect yourself and others from bird flu. Do not touch sick or dead animals Do not bring sick wild animals into your home. Keep your pets away from sick or dead animals - Avoid uncooked food products such as raw milk or cheeses. If you experience sickness after contact with sick or dead birds, contact your healthcare provider. If you encounter an animal you think could be linked to bird flu, call the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The Source Information from interviews conducted by FOX 7 Austin's Jenna King
