What was already an important day Friday took on even more meaning for Augusta Prep’s Allison Rector.

Allison’s father, Charles Rector, who is in the Army, drove from Fort Hood, Texas, on Thursday to see his daughter sign her letter of intent to row for Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Fla.

“He drove 1,100 miles from Texas to be here today, and it’s special,” said Allison.

Rector wasn’t about to miss his daughter’s signing. “Next week I go to Afghanistan, so I’m going to miss graduation,” he said.

Usually, it is not a wise financial move for college juniors with an eye on the major league baseball draft to return to school for their senior seasons. They lose just about any leverage they have in negotiations with the team that drafts them. Juniors can always use the threat of returning to their college program to get a little extra dough. Seniors, however, have nowhere else to go and the scouts certainly know it.

With the tension building as time kept counting down, the girls Region 2-AAAAA region championship was determined when time wasn’t a factor.

After Greenbrier and Lakeside finished 80 minutes of regulation and two five-minute overtime periods tied at one, the squads went to penalty kicks to decide it. When the Lady Wolfpack’s fifth and final shooter Emily Ludwig’s ball hit the crossbar and bounced out, the Lakeside Lady Panthers sprinted across the field to mob goalkeeper Rachel Hardin.
