Feehan's Hopkins earns Big East honor




Former Bishop Feehan High shortstop Greg Hopkins, starting at shortstop for the St. John's University baseball team, was named to the All Big East honor roll for the week.

A freshman, Hopkins had been starting at third base for the Red Storm. But, the Mansfield resident moved over to shortstop when the starting shortstop suffered a broken hand.

Hopkins ranks No. 4 in the Big East in hitting with a Red Storm best .406 batting average. He is also ranked No. 3 in the Big East in on-base percentage (.506) and is No. 7 in slugging percentage (.623).

Hopkins batted .571 last week with a .684 on-base percentage, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. He had three multi-hit games, drove in five runs, scored six runs and uncorked his first collegiate career homer.

Against Columbia, Hopkins had two hits, including a homer and drove in two runs. In a double-header against Seton Hall, Hopkins went 3-for-4 with a triple and two runs scored in the first game and then had two hits and two runs scored in the nightcap. King Philip's Cuozzo named All-American
