T.D. Davis raises stock in senior year at GSU   04/24/13 - 12:03am

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.

McFarland signs with Erskine   04/21/13 - 12:06am

When the clock is ticking down and the game is on the line, that’s when Allysha McFarland shines.

The Evans High School senior guard, known for her ability to sink clutch 3-pointers, is the rock of her basketball team.

“She’s just a pure shooter,” coach Ryan Morningstar said. “When the games get uncomfortable, that’s when she’s most comfortable. Totally poised. When we needed a big shot late in the game, we definitely put the ball in her hands.

“She’s the kind of kid who wants the ball in her hands when the pressure is on and can handle it.”
