Jeremy Harden-Athlete Spotlight, May 8, 2013   05/08/13 - 12:16am

Greenbrier High School senior Jeremy Harden can attest to what a difference a year can make.

In 2012, Harden didn’t qualify for the state track meet in the 100-meter or 200-meter dashes, and the 4x100 relay team didn’t make it out of the preliminaries. But at the state meet Saturday, Harden was second in the 100, fourth in the 200, and the 4x100 relay team finished second.

“I just trained a lot harder realizing I could do something with track,” said Harden. “I just put my head into it. My training last summer was just harder.”

Norlander improves on PGA tour   05/08/13 - 12:15am

To say Henrik Norlander’s rookie season on the PGA tour was a struggle would have been a big understatement two weeks ago. The big kid from Sweden had earned just $63,000 and was not even in the Top 180 on the PGA tour’s Money List. He had missed the cut in four of those nine events, and when he did make the cut, it seemed he was just narrowly cracking the Top 70 to be around for the weekend.

Cummings to play baseball for Middle Georgia   05/08/13 - 12:14am

When one door closed for Grovetown High School’s Jamal Cummings, he was already poised to walk through another one.

To that end, Cummings announced he would be playing baseball for Middle Georgia College in Cochran, Ga., at a letter of intent signing ceremony Friday.

“I’ve been playing baseball since I was very young and I noticed how good I was, and I wanted to make it something I could do possibly for the rest of my life,” said Cummings. “And since football didn’t work out, I figured baseball was the way to go.”

Greenbrier girls soccer season comes to an end   05/08/13 - 12:14am

Try as they might, the Greenbrier High School girls soccer team couldn’t overcome the first 15 minutes of the first half Monday night in the second round of the Georgia High School Association’s Class AAAAA state tournament.

With 24:44 left in the half, Starr’s Mill’s freshman Lauren Yoss scored her second goal as the Lady Panthers went up 3-0 en route to the 3-1 win at Greenbrier.

“Giving up three first half goals, it’s tough to get back in it,” said Lady Wolfpack head coach Wes Kendrick, whose squad finished the year 10-6-2.
