Sigrist will be in good hands at Oglethorpe   05/01/13 - 12:00am

I was very happy to hear that Greenbrier High School forward Connor Sigrist had signed a scholarship at Oglethorpe University.

First, I am always glad to see local athletes get a chance to play at the next level. I also feel Sigrist has only scratched the surface of the player he can be. I also know he will be playing for a coach who will give him a chance to tap into his tremendous potential.

Zets to join the Argonauts   04/28/13 - 12:06am

Grovetown High School diver Meghan Zets had a specific set of criteria for the college she wanted to attend, and the University of West Florida fit the bill.

On Wednesday Zets made it official, signing her national letter of intent to dive for the Argonauts next year.

While she was interested in the university, the trip to the campus in January sold her.

“It was great,” said Zets. “The campus was so beautiful. January is like freezing in Georgia, it’s shorts and a T-shirt in Pensacola. And the beach was like a block away.”

Harlem golf team finds success   04/28/13 - 12:04am

In the 1970s and ’80s, an incredible baseball tradition was built in Harlem. The Bulldogs won seven state championships between 1974 and 1986 and, while they have not claimed another title since, they can be counted on for 20-25 wins and a trip to the state playoffs. Yes, Harlem is very proud of its tremendous baseball program.

After winning their singles matches Friday afternoon, all Lakeside High School freshmen Sam Dromsky and Drew Harris could do was watch and hope their teammates won one of the two remaining contests.

They didn’t have to wait long.

After winning the first set 6-4, the Panthers’ No. 2 doubles team of junior Nathaniel Schwartz and freshman Stefan Haerle rallied from a 4-2 second-set deficit to win 6-4, propelling the team into the third round of the 2012-13 GHSA Class AAAAA Boys State Tennis Tournament with a 3-1 win over McIntosh.

Lakeside takes home region baseball championship   04/28/13 - 12:05am

Panthers head coach Jay Matthews went with his instincts Thursday night, and it paid off in a big way.

Behind the pitching of Cole Pittman, who threw a complete-game three-hitter, and the hitting of center fielder Tanner Brassell, Lakeside High School’s baseball team scratched out single runs in the sixth and seventh innings and defeated Evans 2-0 to win the Region 2-AAAAA championship.

Matthews thought about pulling Pittman from the fifth inning and considered not even playing Brassell, who accounted for two of the Panthers’ four hits.
