Atholton senior baseball player Wes Hand and his family wanted to make a clarification on something that appeared in a Q&A with him in the May 10 edition of the Howard County section of The Baltimore Sun.

Hand said he had not pursued a baseball scholarship and had chosen Villanova because of its chemistry department and because of the academic community's commitment to community service, something he has enjoyed taking part in through his local catholic church.

When asked if he would then be attending Villanova on an academic scholarship he said yes, but pointed out ""Villanova did not offer the best financial aid package" and that he had spent a lot of time debating if the school that was his first choice "would be worth the additional financial burden."

He decided yes.

But when he and his parents saw the story, they decided they wanted to further clarify Hand's financial support from Villanova.

"We do believe it is important to point out that there was apparently some miscommunication as to his attending Villanova University on an academic scholarship (in photo line and in several paragraphs)," said Dave Hand, Wes' father. "Wes was fortunate to be accepted to several fine schools, and although his grades and SATs were good, he did only receive some minor scholarship monies to Villanova and other schools (less to his first choice Villanova than to most others)."

Now, the record is straight.
