Ask Harlem sophomore Christina Rentas what her favorite sport is and it throws her for a loop.

“I’ve asked myself that many times and I still can’t figure that out,” said Rentas after pausing a few seconds. “I know that once one season is over, I’m definitely ready to start the other season.”

She was a key piece on the Lady Bulldogs basketball team and recently was named All-County honorable mention.

Now, though, her attention is on soccer, and she is making her mark. Rentas is the team’s second-leading goal scorer with 12 and has three assists.

This is an interesting year in Columbia County baseball. On any given day, it seems our teams are evenly matched. Even though Greenbrier is 5-0 vs. county teams and ranked No. 1 in Class AAAA, they have won a couple of tight games against county foes to get to that point. It shows how solid baseball in the county is again this year. Here is a look at how I see the teams so far.

Both Harlem High soccer teams won against Glenn Hills on Tuesday night.

The girls team controlled play from start to finish in a 11-1 mercy rule-shortened affair, while the boys eked out a 2-1 victory.

It was the largest margin of victory for the Lady Bulldogs (8-0, 7-0 Region 3-AAA), who have outscored their opponents 53-4 this season.

The game was out of hand early, but it allowed head coach George Berry to experiment.

“We were able to work on set plays, drops and defense,” Berry said.
