Longtime educator a finalist for CMS Teacher of the Year Tuttle strives to teach whole child by Justin Vick justin@cmgweekly.com

MATTHEWS – Twenty years after Charl o t t e - Me c k l e n burg Schools recognized KimTuttle berly Tuttle as New Teacher of the Year, the dis-

trict is again recognizing her work in the classroom. This time, she's been named Southeast Learning Community Teacher of the Year. Throughout her career, Tuttle has drawn inspiration from teachers and principals that have helped her understand the essence of teaching the whole child. “When you teach the whole child, you're not just teaching the content, the standards, the objectives, the state test – that comes along with it – but you're teaching those valuable skills of (being)

a citizen,” Tuttle said. Tuttle teaches Advanced Placement language and composition, as well as 11th grade honors English at Levine Middle College High School, where students can graduate with a diploma and associate degree. She works to create a safe haven for students in her classroom so they feel comfortable enough to talk to her before school or during lunch. Such interactions go a long

Central Piedmont reveals new branding

Girl Scout shatters record for cookie sales

CHARLOTTE – Central Piedmont Community College has launched new branding, which includes new colors, logo, website and advertising campaign, to better tell its story throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg. Central Piedmont partnered with Candescence to study the college's brand over 15 months, taking input from more than 3,000 people. The study found people know the college, but aren't aware of the depth and breadth of its programs. “The research bore out the college’s need to reach more families in individuals in Charlotte-Mecklenburg,” President Kandi Deitemeyer said. “We think this new brand will help show the community that Central Piedmont is bold, forward-thinking, ambitious and optimistic. The college can provide you a pathway to career

MINT HILL – Maddie Miller doesn’t aim low. When she has a goal in mind, she goes for it, no matter how out of reach it may seem. So while the rest of Girl Scout Troop 1782 was excited about possibly selling enough Samoas and Thin Mints to win backpacks, T-shirts and Carowinds tickets, 9-year-old Maddie’s eyes locked onto only one thing – the grand prize laptop. The catch? She would need to sell at least 3,550 boxes of Girl Scout cookies to get it. Maddie’s mom, Patty Hill-Miller, almost had a heart attack when she learned of her daughter’s lofty goal, especially since they sold roughly half that many the year before. “I know my heart skipped a beat,” she said. “She just looked at me and said, ‘We can do this.’” Maddie, who lives in Mint Hill and attends Bain Elementary School, wasted no time getting started. Like most Girl Scouts, she talked to neighbors, friends and family, but that’s not all. She and her mom also handed out

MATTHEWS – The Matthews Police Department has rolled out Find'em Friday, allowing internet-savvy citizens to help find wanted suspects. MPD posted photos of five wanted suspects on YouTube on May 3. Three days later, the department thanked the public for tips leading to the Mint Hill Police Department Harvey arresting 19-year-old Jeremiah Elijah Harvey. He had warrants for armed robbery, possession of a firearm by felony, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and vehicle theft. Other suspects in the video were as follows: • Kyahjay Sharif Kirkpatrick, 20, has warrants for felony larceny and breaking/entering a vehicle. • Mauricio Eduardo Lincopan Cedra, 20, has a warrant for financial card fraud. • Dwight Laquelle Hallman, 35, has a warrant for uttering a forged instrument. • Kenneth Taylor, 44, has warrants for armed robbery and assault on a female. MPD started posting Find'em Friday on April 26. The department shares the YouTube videos on Facebook and Twitter. Call 704-847-5555 with any information on these suspects.

Police investigate carjacking MATTHEWS – A man walked over to a Matthews patrol officer at 3:30 a.m. May 4 saying his car was stolen at gunpoint. The victim was sitting at the red light from the exit ramp of the I-485 outer loop to East John Street. He told police that a white man got out of the passenger side of a white pickup truck behind him, pointed a gun at him from his driver’s side window and demanded the victim get out of the car. After the victim got out, the suspect drove the stolen vehicle through the light across East John Street and back onto the I-485 outer loop with the truck following behind. The victim’s vehicle is a brown 2005 Jeep Liberty with a North Carolina registration plate number of PKJ-2427. Contact Det. Lori Valdes at lvaldes@mat thewsnc.gov or 704-847-5555 with details about the case.

way. “So many times kids feel as though their voice does not matter,” Tuttle said. “We see and hear that from our kids today. One of the things that they know once you step foot in Mrs. Tuttle's classroom, you're not my student. You are my child.” That philosophy has helped Tuttle strive to give students her very best. She also strives to find ways to build literacy for life. One of the greatest gifts she was able to give students was taking them on a field trip to Germany. Lessons came alive as students put their hands on the very barracks where

Become a museum docent MATTHEWS – The Matthews Heritage Museum is looking for docents or tour guides. In addition to learning about Matthews history, volunteers learn about the history of Tank Town, which is a temporary exhibit on an African-American neighborhood. Occasionally, volunteers take trips to other historic sites of interest. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays at 232 N. Trade St. Each volunteer is asked to take one shift of three hours once a month. Shifts are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 to 4 p.m. The museum is looking to recruit volunteers for specific shifts of the first, second and third Saturday afternoons of the month. An initial training class of four days will orient new volunteers. A new training class will be offered beginning at 10 a.m. May 25. Ongoing training is held on the first Thursday of every month throughout the year from 10 a.m. to noon. Call 704-708-4996 during operating hours for details.

Matthews begins study of downtown parking, mobility MATTHEWS – The Town of Matthews is studying downtown parking and mobility. Citizens were asked to complete a survey and provide input through an online mapping tool for the Downtown Matthews Mobility Study. The survey seeks to gather input on how people travel to, from and around downtown. Citizens could use the mapping tool to show where they'd like to see new or improved sidewalks, bike facilities, greenways and multi-use paths, transit routes, roadway connections, parking improvements or dropoff locations. The town will hold a community meeting later this month.

Novant Health adds to increasing footprint CHARLOTTE – Novant Health opened 12 clinics and added 15 physicians within the greater Charlotte market during the first quarter of 2019. The new clinics include start-ups like Novant Health Occupational Medicine – Matthews, Novant Health Austin Village Family Medicine and Novant Health Urgent Care Mint Hill. New physicians include Dr. Harriet Davis of Novant Health Mint Hill Family Medicine and Dr. Sharien Mahtani of Novant Health Inpatient Care Specialists, Mint Hill. “The addition of these new physicians and clinics do not merely represent an expanded footprint, they represent expanded access throughout Mecklenburg County to advanced, quality care,” said Saad Ehtisham, president of Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center.

They also visited the site of the Berlin Wall, where President Ronald Reagan famously said, “Tear down this wall.” “Our children need us to be there for them and their voice does matter,” she said. Tuttle is one of six finalists for CMS Teacher of the Year. Others are Tyler Erb, Community House Middle; Precious Kotte, Metro School; Cherelle Phelps, West Charlotte High; Nancy Pursley, Huntersville Elementary; and Alicianna Smith, Stoney Creek Elementary. “Our students are what matter most,” CMS Chief Academic Officer Brian Kingsley said. “These six teachers have a deep and demonstrated investment in our mission in public education to teach every student who comes to us no matter what.”

“business cards” and made labels for delivery bags with their contact information and a link to order cookies online. Patty said they got tons of calls, texts and emails from people asking for cookies. Wherever they went during cookie season, Maddie wore her Girl Scout vest and people approached them for cookies. On weekends, they sold at booths in front of businesses like Walmart, Dollar Tree and Harris Teeter, and used social media to their advantage by posting their location on the What’s Up Mint Hill Facebook page. Their marketing campaign worked like a charm, but it was Maddie’s infectious smile, charisma and sense of humor that made each sale. “When we were at the booth I would yell, ‘Five for twenty, what a deal!’ Then I’d hook them in with jokes,” Maddie said. “Like… what do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.” At the end of cookie season, Maddie was the 2019 Top Seller and Girl Scouts Hornets Council Record Breaker. She sold 4,203 boxes of cookies, meaning she not only got the laptop, but also surpassed her original goal by more than 500 boxes. “I couldn’t have done it alone … without my friends and family and her,” Maddie said, pointing to her mother. “A team.” Throughout the process of running her cookie business, Maddie said she learned how to deal with rejection, because not everyone

wants to buy cookies. She also improved her “people skills” by projecting her voice, speaking clearly and being polite, as well as her math skills by counting and handling money. She said the hardest part was giving up her weekends to man the booths, especially on days when all she wanted to do was stay home and relax. “I knew I had a goal and I had to achieve it,” Maddie said. At times, the mother-daughter duo wondered if they would even reach that goal, but they refused to give up. “A friend of mine said, ‘Patty, why don’t you just buy her a laptop?’ I said, ‘I can buy her a laptop, but she can earn it, too,’” Patty said. Maddie earned more than just the laptop. She also got a Nintendo Switch, a trip to the Atlanta Zoo, sleeping bag, Vans backpack and tickets to the Cookie Coronation at the Charlotte Knights game on May 19, among other prizes. She will receive special recognition as a Cookie Top Seller before the game. Her advice to other Girl Scouts looking to grow their business? “Don’t stop trying to reach your goal,” Maddie said. “I know it may be tough, but in the end, you’ll get your prize and feel accomplished and you can look back and say, ‘I did that.’” Maddie is already excited for next cookie season, which lasts from January to April with pre-orders starting in the fall. Her goal is to sell 5,000 boxes. “All I know is I’m going to hustle more,” she said.

2018, is a marshal on the No. 3 hole. Both worked double shifts April 29 and 30 before taking advantage of their free grounds pass May 1 to watch the action. Lucinda has been a volunteer at the Wells Fargo for 10 years while Ric has been a volunteer for six years. “We have been so busy for most of our adult lives, we have never had the opportunity to give back to the community in any way, shape or form,” Lucinda said. “We come out here to volunteer, just like we volunteer at the Matthews Help Center, because we want to give back to the community.” A friend encouraged Lucinda to become a volunteer at the Wells Fargo Championship while still working, and when she retired the Ohio native put her name on the list. Two years later, Lucinda received an invite from the tournament. The Wells Fargo Championship uses an army of 2,600 volunteers. There is almost always a waiting list as most volunteers, or

ambassadors as they are referred to by the tournament, come back year after year. Lucinda said she loves interacting with volunteers and fans at the will call center. “I like where I work at because we are the first face any of the patrons see,” Lucinda said. “Everybody is in a great mood because they are getting ready to watch golf. I just love that.” As a marshal, Ric works at different spots along the tree-lined par 4 No. 3 hole and almost every group of golfers that passes by provides something different. “I like being there to be a great ambassador and to represent Charlotte to the fans, the golfers and the caddies,” Ric said. “When you are on the green, that is where you get to watch most of the golf.” The Sheers have their favorite golfers to watch but they also have a favorite caddie. They have hosted Terry Walker, who is the caddy for PGA Tour professional Andrew Landry, four times. Landry did not play in the Wells Fargo this year, but they expect to see their favorite caddy the next time he totes Landry’s bag in Charlotte.

said, noting the rescue takes in thousands of animals a year. Reynard was there trying to raise awareness for the nonprofit's spring bird-feeding program. Current and former Panthers like Kyle Love, Shaq Thompson and Ted Ginn Jr. played in the tournament. Charlotte Hornets star Frank Kaminsky and former NBA great Sleepy Floyd also drew plenty of attention from spectators. But charity was the ultimate winner at Pine Lake Country Club.

The tournament's 144 amatuers and 40 celebrity golfers raised over $60,000 that will benefit children in need and animal rescue in Mecklenburg, Union and Stanly counties. “This is the third time Joe Maus has had the tournament here, and it was an awesome tournament,” said Sherri Taylor, general manager for Pine Lake Country Club. “It raised a lot of money for children in this community and for animal rescue. All of the money goes to local charities, and it is a wonderful thing he does for our community.” Want to learn more? Visit www.joemaus foundation.com.

success, further education and a better life.” Candescence conducted a brand study that found Mecklenburg County residents know Central Piedmont, appreciate and love it, but do not know the full depth and breadth of its programs and services. Based on the study’s results, the college concluded it needs to do a better job of telling its story throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg. The college determined there are three “pillars” that support its promise to the community: • The college provides students a combination of technical and soft skills. • The college has historic connections to the local business community. • The smart, common sense of an investment at Central Piedmont. Students don’t just learn “what,” they learn “how.” How to do something, be someone and make a difference. The college’s new brand promise is

straightforward: “Central Piedmont delivers real-world, affordable, hands-on education that will transform you, change your life, and impact our community: Now that’s smart.” Central Piedmont partnered with Barkley REI to create a more audience-focused website, kmdesign to update its logo and Mythic to create a new advertising campaign concept that rolls out this summer. Ballantyne firm redesigns logo Karen McElmoyle of Ballantyne-based kmdesign, designed a new logo for Central Piedmont Community College. The “Central Piedmont green” has been replaced with a new color scheme: gold and gray. The old “green box” logo has been replaced with a cleaner, more collegiate and modern design. The brand study also emphasized the need for the college to elevate its visual standing to match the caliber of education and services it provides. Multiple student groups expressed their desire for a logo that stands well with corporate and other institutional marks in Charlotte.

Ballantyne-based kmdesign updated Central Piedmont Community College's logo. The firm's portfolio includes work for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, Charlotte Water and Carolinas College of Health Sciences.

Panthers defeat AK for So. Meck 7 tourney title by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

The Panthers celebrate winning the So. Meck 7 conference tournament title. Last week the Panthers won their sixth straight regular season conference title and improved to 23-3 on the season.

CHARLOTTE – The third time was not the charm for the Ardrey Kell baseball team, who dropped to 0-3 on the season against rival Providence in a 13-3 rout on April 30. For Providence, the win comes on the heels of the Panthers sixth straight conference title, which they wrapped up last week with a win over South Meck.

It was also their fourth straight win and fourth consecutive game with 10 or more runs as Providence improved to 23-3 on the season behind star senior pitcher Noah Hall. Hall was dominant from the start, going five innings while allowing just four hits and three runs to go with six strikeouts against just one walk. “I think I try to stay composed see PANTHERS, Page 3B

Lions enter playoffs hot after big rival win by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

MATTHEWS – Covenant Day coach David Houseton said the final three games the Lions played during the regular season have them ready to make some noise as they enter the playoffs this week. The Lions opened a two-game set with Country Day at home on April 23, but too many mistakes led to a 4-0 Bucs win. Houseton said that loss left a bad taste in his team’s mouth and when they traveled to Country Day three days later, his team responded. Jon Rossi got the Lion offense go-

ing in the first inning with a two-run double and Covenant Day added two more runs in the third and one in the fifth but broke the game open in the sixth inning. There, doubles by Ben Walton and Cooper Andrews and a Rossi homer added four more to the tally, giving the Lions a 9-0 lead. Philip Abner got the win, going 5.2 innings while allowing just two hits and striking out 12. Jackson Bertelsen pitched the final 1.1 innings in the 9-2 win. On April 30, the Lions opened a two-game series with Charlotte see LIONS, Page 4B

Covenant Day beat rival Charlotte Christian to close the regular season and end an 11-game losing streak in the series. Now, they’re looking to carry that momentum into the playoffs where they hope to make a run. Courtesy of Covenant Day baseball

his week I had an interesting encounter with a coach. It’s a school we cover often because they excel in several sports each season. This coach’s team accomplished an amazing feat. It was a big deal. Not just to me, it was actually national news at the time. I’ve dealt with this coach many times but never actually met him or her. They have a reputation as being a little difficult, but to me, they’ve been great. I contacted the coach to see if I could swing by during practice. They emphatically said no. Wait, I thought. Why isn’t he letting me recognize his players? But the more I thought of it, this coach had a point. Yes what we did as a team was great, he said. But it wasn’t the result the coach was looking for. Our season isn’t over and we have bigger goals, they told me. All too often today, especially in youth sports, it’s rainbows, ice cream and participation trophies. I know the value of what a story in our paper can do for aspiring college athletes. At times, being the Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly Player of the Year will appear on college bios as confirmation of their talent. A feature on an athlete may stay in their scrapbook for the rest of their lives, a momento to share with their kids one day. I get it, so I wanted to recognize this team for what they’ve done. But I also get that coach. Instead of celebrating smaller accomplishments along the way, they were thinking big picture and pushing their kids toward stardom. He or she didn’t want their team put on a pedestal when their job is not yet complete. I respect that. Thanks, coach, for being difficult at times and for being hard on your team. You’ve certainly opened my eyes and given me a new respect for you. You’ve also made a decade of athletes on your team better because you demand more than just great. And for that, maybe you should be commended.

Queen’s Grant pulls off first conference double play by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

MINT HILL – Queen’s Grant edged Community School of Davidson 1-0 to win the PAC 7 conference tournament title on May 3. After winning the league’s regular season title the Stallions (17-7, 11-3 in PAC 7) became the first Queen’s Grant team to win the regular season and conference titles in the same year. The 17 wins tie the program record for wins in a season set in 2012 and

gives the Stallions a first-round bye in the NCHSAA 1A championship. On May 1, the Stallions took out Union Academy 4-1 in the conference tournament semifinals. Spencer Smith got the scoring started with a base hit in the fifth inning. He would score two batters later when Jacob Beard doubled him home and Andrew Ollenberger, Bryce Gorospe and freshman Alwin Duran each drove in runs in that pivotal frame. That was more than enough for Stallions starter Leo Hoffer who kept Union Academy

batters out of rhythm all evening. Hoffer went 6.2 innings and scattered just four hits. He struck out three and walked two batters and didn’t allow a run until the seventh inning. Junior Andy Duran got the final out to pick up a save and advance the Stallions to the final two days later at Pine Lake Prep. In the tournament championship, Community School of Davidson entered as the league’s hottest team and winners of five straight. But it was the Stallions who struck first,

getting the only run of the game home in the second inning. Andy Duran led off with a single and then stole second base to get the rally started. Ollenberger singled to centerfield later in that inning, scoring Duran from second. Hoffer would collect the Stallions only other hit in the game, which turned into a pitching dual although both teams had their chances. Ollenberger stole second base and nearly scored later in the second inning, but

Former Indy coach Cooke to replace Latin baseball legend CHARLOTTE – Charlotte Latin announced April 29 that longtime baseball coach Kim Cousar has announced his retirement and Daniel Cooke has been named his successor. Cousar has been a head baseball coach for 34 years and has led the Latin baseball program since 2011-12. In his career, Cousar has coached nearly 100 players who have played collegiately and nine players who have signed professional contracts. With 460 career wins and a 2016 induction into the North Carolina Baseball Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame, Cousar said his time had come. “The Latin community is special because it really believes in the core values the school established long ago and has never strayed from them,” Cousar said. “To be a part of it has been a wonderful experience and I am grateful that I had such an opportunity.” The Hawks have struggled in recent times. This year, they went 6-13 and the team hasn’t produced a winning season since at least 2008 but Cooke has a history of turning programs around. “Daniel’s outstanding track record in building successful programs with enthusiastic leadership and stellar character made him rise to the top of the candidate pool,” Charlotte Latin athletic director David Gatoux said. Cooke comes to Charlotte Latin from Porter Ridge, where he is in his first season with the Pirates. The bulk of Cooke’s coaching career was at Independence where he spent six seasons. Cooke’s teams won conference championships in 2014 and 2016, earning him coach

of the year accolades. “I couldn't be more excited to join Charlotte Latin and start this new chapter in my life,” Cooke said. “It's an honor to follow a hall of fame coach like coach Cousar and take over the baseball program. My biggest commitment is to develop student-athletes both on and off the field, and I can't wait to get started.” Finanger to lead UFCA girls hoops Veteran coach Lori Finanger has been named the new girls basketball coach at United Faith Christian Academy, Falcon athletic director Josh Coley recently announced. Finanger has vast experience at the professional, collegiate and high school levels. She’s been the head coach at St. Catherine University, DePauw University and at Maryville University, as well as serving as an assistant at the University of Minnesota. Locally, Finanger has served as an assistant coach at Charlotte Latin and at Ardrey Kell. She was also head coach at Grace Academy. In addition, Finanger has served as director of youth basketball camps and clinics for the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA. At United Faith, Finanger will face a program rebuild. The Falcons were shown to have gone 2-12 during the 2013-14 season according to records kept on Maxpreps.com, but didn’t field a team again until the 2017-18 season, when current Charlotte Christian coach Tony Busby led the Falcons to a 10-13 record. Last year, there wasn’t enough interest once again but Finanger is hoping to turn that around and help rebuild the program. Finanger has two sons and is married to Dan Finanger, the head track and field coach at Belmont Abbey.

out there,” Hall said. “I know that my stuff is good and I try to go out there and do my best. I know that I don’t have to carry the team and I can have trust in my defense. I know if that if they hit a ground ball my guys are going to make the play behind me. It takes some of the pressure off, but I want to work harder for them, too.” Hall retired eight straight to close the game after giving up a pair of runs in the third and one in the second. But that was plenty for the Panther bats, which have been on fire of late as they’re averaging 12.5 runs over the past four and 9.4 runs per game during the season. “We take what we do in practice and we put it on the field,” said senior second baseman JD Yakubinis. “We’re much more prepared and we work so hard in practice that we’re prepared for every situation.”

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Patrick Bloomingburg

Ardrey Kell starter Luke Carpenter went unscathed through the first inning, but the Panther bats exploded for big innings in the second, third and fifth before Providence slugger Sam Kagan ended the game with a single in the bottom of the fifth. Kagan got the big rally in the second inning starting with a lead-off double. Yakubinis followed with a run-scoring double. After a pair of successful sacrifice bunts that went for hits, Sam Fligel, Patrick Bloomingburg, Kagan and Yakubinis all added RBIs as the Panthers scored seven runs after the Knights had scored once in the top of the inning. After Ardrey Kell struck for two more runs in the top of the third, Fligel, Michael Dansky and Walker Woolf added RBIs to push the Panther lead to 10-3. It was more of the same in the fifth. Hall led off with a single and Fligel drove him in during the proceeding at-bat. After the Panthers loaded the bases, Kagan delivered the walk-off hit that set off a little celebration on Ardrey Kell’s field. “We work so hard in practice and it’s awesome to celebrate this win on our rival’s field, but we’re 0-0 and starting the playoffs now,” said Kaga, a senior right fielder. “This is great and we’re going to enjoy it, but we’re going to get back to practice tomorrow and keep working.” The Panthers stars were plentiful. Bloomingburg, who was named the conference tournament MVP, went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored. Kagan

was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, Yakubinis had two hits, Hall was on base all three times and scored three runs and Figel was 3-for-3 with three runs scored, two doubles and two runs driven in. “We’re really tough one through nine in our lineup,” Kagan said. “We have confidence that whoever is at the plate is going to come through.” Aside from the sixth straight conference title, this is the sixth consecutive season the Panthers have won 20 or more games and the eighth time in the past nine years. “We put so much time in the offseason preparing for games like this,” Kagan said. “We prepare for every situation and we work so hard to be in this position.” The Panthers got the No. 2 seed in the NCHSAA 4A playoffs and will get a firstround bye hosting East Forsyth on May 10. “This is what we play for and especially the seniors,” Yakubinis said. “It’s the grind and to get to this point is great and it’s crazy, but we’re going into the playoffs very confident and ready.” But no matter who the Panthers play, long-time coach and orchestrator of all of Providence’s success Danny Hignight likes his chances. “We have a really special group of kids,” Hignight said “They trust me and they trust the staff. They work so hard, and they are one of the closets clubs I’ve had. I’ve had a lot of tight teams, but these guys make it easy on me.”

PROVIDENCE

Bloomingburg was named the So. Meck 7 tournament MVP after Providence won the title by knocking out rival Ardrey Kell for the third time this season. Bloomingburg was 1-for-2 at the plate in the final, but walked twice and scored a pair of runs.

was thrown out at home plate. Queen’s Grant threatened again in the third inning. Smith walked and stole second and Alwin Duran drew a walk. After a fielder's choice, Queen’s Grant had runners on second and third with just one out. Andy Duran hit a deep drive to centerfield, but the Community School of Davidson outfielder made a diving grab that saved at least two runs. The Spartans would get their chances in the late innings off Gorospe, Queen’s Grant starting pitcher. In the sixth, Gorospe hit two batters and gave up

Christian, Houseton’s alma mater. The Knights scored two in the third and three in the fifth inning to chase Covenant Day starter Robert Stone, who allowed four hits, five runs and struck out four batters. But the Lion bats would heat up in the bottom of the fifth inning as Andrews, Abner, Bertelsen and Stone each had RBIs in the inning, which tied the score at 5. It would stay there until the eighth inning, when Rossi allowed the winning walk-off single and a 6-5 extra-inning win for Charlotte Christian. “We made too many mistakes in that

a single to load the bases with one out. Ollenberger made a nice play at second to throw out a Spartan runner at home and Gorospe bared down and got out of the inning with a strikeout. In the seventh, and with the Stallions still clinging to the 1-0 lead, Gorospe went back out for the shutout. A throwing error led to a jam as Community School of Davidson had runners on second and third with one out. Gorospe struck out the cleanup man and then got the No. 5 hitter to pop out to Smith in centerfield to end the game. The win is the fifth in a row for the Stallions, who will play Lincoln Charter at home on May 10 in the second round of the 1A playoffs.

game. We had baserunning mistakes, we went to back pick a runner on second and threw it into centerfield and that led to a run. We had some walks, and they just gritted it out,” Houseton said. “But right now, this is probably the best team I’ve had as far as they’ve arrived. They feel like they can play with guys.” In the regular season finale, it was a different story for Covenant Day. Facing all-state pitcher and Coastal Carolina commit in Charlotte Christian ace lefty JT Killen, the Lions were more than up to the task as they scored once in the second and four times in the third. “We did a good job of displaying patience,” Houseton said. “(Killen) can get out of the zone and sped up. We were patient

and forced him to throw some extra pitches and we had some timely hits. Good teams find those timely hits and we were able to do that.” Abner doubled and Stone drove in two to highlight Covenant Day’s big inning and that was more than enough for Abner, who was sensational. Through 6.2 innings, he allowed four hits and just two runs while striking out 15 batters. Bertelsen got the final out to preserve the 5-2 win and get the save. “(Abner’s) control was on point,” Houseton said. “That’s a deal-breaker if you can take 15 of those 21 outs, and you eliminate Christian getting on base because once they get on base you have problems on your hands.” Since 2010, the Lions had been just 1-15

MATTHEWS – The Butler baseball team and Independence softball team had their runs to the Southwestern 4A tournament titles cut short in the finals on May 3 at Butler. In the softball finals, co-conference champion Independence fell to Hickory Ridge 5-3. All three of the Patriots runs came on solo home runs at Maya Douglas, Abrianna Berry and Mackenzie Grant all went deep. Douglas was sensational, as the sophomore middle infielder went 4-for-4, pushing her season average to .569 and knocking her sixth homer of the season. The Patriots had leads of 1-0 and 2-0 after the first two innings, but Hickory Ridge answered with three runs in the third and two more in the fifth. The Patriots tried to rally in the seventh, but could only scratch one run across. Kayla Douglas went five innings, allowing eight hits and five runs while striking out six and walking four. Jaylin Adkins shutdown the game with two scoreless innings of relief.

Independence bounced back to beat High Point Central 11-0 in the opening round of the 4A playoffs on May 7. Mallory Shaver went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs. In the baseball final later that night, surprise Butler faced off against heavy favorite Myers Park in the championship game. The Bulldogs entered the tournament 8-14 but pulled off wins over Hickory Ridge (10-9) and Porter Ridge (5-3) to reach the finals. In the win over Hickory Ridge on April 30, freshman Ryan Wilson and Drew Roberts had two hits each, Hayden Davis drove in three runs and Butler rallied with five runs in the sixth inning to get the win. The following day, Davis, Wilson and Roberts had two hits each and Hunter Garmon went 5.1 innings, allowing three runs, just one of which was earned, and struck out four. Wilson went the final 1.2 innings with three strikeouts to earn the save. In the championship game, however, 24-1 Myers Park proved to be too much in the Mustangs 12-2 win. Freshman Cannon Pierce had Butler’s only hit. Wilson and Ethan Morgan both had rough outings. Butler’s season has come to an end.

against the Knights before their 5-2 win which also snapped a string of 11 straight losses in the series dating back to 2014. But to Houseton, it’s validation that his program is trending in the right direction. “After 10 years being at Covenant Day and the way our culture is, I think we’re pressing right at the point where we can be serious contenders,” he said. “We have good talent at the middle school level. They’re staying at Covenant Day, and we have great leadership and culture here. My guys feel like they belong, and they’re looking forward to the playoffs. I'm hoping right now we continue to play well. We have depth as far as pitching, and we can be dangerous if we can swing the bats. We have really good defense, and that’s the big deal for us.”
