Lakeside’s Sean Gaddy added his name to the growing list of football players from the school that will play for Reinhardt University on Thursday.

At his letter of intent signing ceremony at the school, the two-time All-Region and 2012 All-County defensive lineman said the Eagles had just what he wanted.

“I wanted to be able to play football, which is what they offered me,” said Gaddy, who is the third Panther to sign with Reinhardt this year. “And to get a good education, not just to play football, so I actually have a future.”

Region titles are great, but the goal each year for Columbia County baseball teams is a state championship. That said, you have to win region playoff games before a state crown is possible.

Harlem, Evans and Greenbrier each earned two-game sweeps as the opened the postseason last week, and in doing so, locked up spots in the state playoffs.

Harlem improved to 17-6 on the season with a pair of easy wins over Hephzibah. The Bulldogs took the first game 11-0 win, and followed that up with a 14-4 lopsided victory in Game 2.

It will be hard to re-create what the five seniors on the Greenbrier girls tennis team have accomplished.

Heather Frazier, Katie Krupp, Blaire LaSure, Molly Lee and Brooke Sanderson entered Greenbrier as freshmen in 2008, and when they leave they will have won four 2-AAAA region championships and have three state final four appearances.

They hope to make another final four at the least, with the 2012 AAAA Girls State Tennis Tournament starting today.
