CHARLOTTE – A proposed duplex project has rekindled interest among Charlotte City Council members to look at how redevelopment incrementally affects traffic congestion along Providence Road. Blue Azalea, a Ballantyne-based developer, wants
to redevelop an acre at Vernon and Providence drives to build three high-end duplexes. The property currently consists of a duplex and two single-family homes. “I'm adding two additional families to the street, not 20, not 40, not 100,” owner Joe DiZazzo told the council during the May 20 public hearing.

Alzheimer’s Association hosts Memory Gala CHARLOTTE – The Alzheimer’s Association Western Carolina Chapter's third annual Memory Gala brought more than 300 people together to raise $275,000 to advance the care, support and research efforts of the nonprofit. “Bringing everyone together for this memorable evening was an impactful way to honor the 5.8 million Americans whose memories of life’s firsts are being stolen from them,” CEO Katherine Lambert said. The event included a cocktail reception, dinner, entertainment by Kingdaddy and auctions May 11 at The Westin Charlotte. Stuart Goldstein, managing partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, was honored with the 2019 Award of Excellence for the voice he and his family are giving to Alzheimer’s disease. see Page 5A for more photos

CHARLOTTE – Verde Homes contends a townhome project off Sardis Road could provide much-needed senior housing to the area, but Charlotte City Council members say the developer will need to make concessions, given opposition from neighbors and city staff. Ron Staley, of Verde Homes, told the council during the May 20 public hearing that as Charlotte grows, competition increases from other builders and developers. This makes it hard for small infill developers like himself to compete. Staley saw an opportunity with housing for people 55 and older, since most are being developed in areas like Pineville, Mint Hill and Lake Norman. “Just because you’re a senior doesn’t mean you have to move out of your home,” Staley said. Mina Vazeen, who owns the 1.7-acre site, raised her children on Sardis Road and doesn’t want to leave behind her doctor, grocery store and second family she meets at McAlpine Park. “I have cut the grass, washed my windows, raked my leaves and cleaned my gutters. As I am getting older now, these chores are see SARDIS, Page 3A
The Improper Pig finds new spot to graze CHARLOTTE – The Improper Pig will close its Cotswold location July 1 and reopen in August with an updated menu at Rea Farms, south Charlotte's latest live-workplay environment. Owner Will Bigham said the relocation into the new 3,535-square-foot space at 9855 Sandy Rock Place helps support his growing barbecue brand. “We have been a part of the Cotswold neighborhood for over 15 years,” Bigham said. “Our initial transition from Mama Fu’s to The Improper Pig in 2014 along with the
growth we’ve experienced since creating The Improper Pig brand plays a big role in our choosing to relocate to Rea Farms.” Bigham serves as CEO of Stomp Chomp & Roll, a family of restaurant brands that include The Improper Pig, The Flying Biscuit Café and The Pizza Peel & Tap Room. He'll still have a presence in Cotswold with his Pizza Peel location at 4422 Colwick Road. The Improper Pig serves classics such as pulled pork and St. Louis-style ribs; new see PIG, Page 5A

Oral surgeon can help save stem cells from extracted wisdom teeth
BUSINESS MANAGER Rebecca Jensen
CHARLOTTE – Dr. Amir Marashi, an oral surgeon with Greater Charlotte Oral & Facial Surgery, is enabling families to save their dental stem cells that would otherwise be discarded as medical waste and store them through a stem cell banking service. Families who missed the opportunity to bank umbilical cord blood minutes after birth, now have a second chance with wisdom teeth extractions, which are most common among patients between 17 and 25. “This groundbreaking form of regenerative medicine is modernizing the way we can treat our patients,” Marashi said. “Every time stem cells duplicate, they lose some of their value, which makes it difficult for our bodies to fight off disease or recover from an injury. Banking your stem cells early in life can maximize their value and could be the best decision a family can make to defend against future health complications.” Greater Charlotte Oral & Facial Surgery immediately places the teeth in preserving solution and ships them to Stemodontics’ lab for processing and storage. When a family is ready to use their sample, they can contact the lab, and the sample will be shipped directly to their designated healthcare provider. Visit www.greatercharlotteoralsurgery.com or www.stemodontics.com for details.

Larson overtakes Harvick in All-Star Race CONCORD – Kyle Larson won the Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race on May 18 at Charlotte Motor Speedway after qualifying for the race that same night by winning the Monster Energy Open. After a stirring drive to the front from the rear of the field, Larson held off Kevin Harvick over the final laps to become the first driver to win both events on the same night. “Gosh, after the year we've had, I wouldn't have guessed that we would get our first win at the All-Star Race,” Larson said. “But the way the format is and how crazy the race is, it kinda helps us out.” Harvick reeled in Larson over the final circuits but wasn’t able to make a pass to capture his second consecutive All-Star Race triumph, finishing a scant 0.322 seconds behind Larson. “That’s how you take the fastest car and don’t win the race with it,” Harvick said, noting his team did an incredible job with the No. 4 Busch Beer Millennial Car Ford.

becoming harder and harder,” Vazeen said. “It breaks my heart to look around and see there’s nowhere for us to downsize to.” The site is zoned for three units per acre. The proposal would redevelop the site for 12 townhomes. Paul Pennell, of Urban Design Partners, conceded the project is surrounded by houses, but other rezonings have involved properties adjacent to institutional uses. This site is across from The Fletcher School. Pennell said the Sardis area has the highest percentage of individuals 65 and older within Charlotte at 17%. Mike deMilt was among more than 600 people to sign petitions against the plan. “We have a quiet stable neighborhood that many residents have been here for over 20 years,” deMilt told the council. “The proposed development would disrupt existing affordable senior housing.” Another resident opposed to the project said it doesn’t have amenities and isn’t near public transportation, medical offices or shopping. She also expressed concern about stormwater runoff with the property. Tariq Bokhari and Ed Driggs, who both represent the south Charlotte area on the council, told the developer that concessions may be needed to address city staff’s concerns. City staff is not recommending approval of the project because it doesn’t fall within the guidelines of the South District Plan, which dates back to 1993, or General Development Policies, according to city planner Dave Pettine. “Overall, it’s just generally out of context with what we see with development patterns in the area,” Pettine said. A vote on the project may come as soon as next month.
Ardrey Kell's 'Curtains' named best musical CHARLOTTE – Ardrey Kell High School’s “Curtains” won top honors at the 2019 Blumey Awards on May 19, earning the Wells Fargo Best Musical (Tier 2, budget of $10,000+). “It is humbling to receive this award because the talent in the greater Charlotte area is truly astounding,” Director Terry Gabbard said, giving credit to his students. “Their dedication to theater is a never-ending source of inspiration
to me.” That inspiration led the theater and fine arts departments to their second best musical award in two years. Ardrey Kell is the first school to win back-to-back years in the eight seasons the Blumenthal Performing Arts has produced the Blumey Awards. Principal David Switzer called the win “unprecedented and inspiring for others.”
“The students, staff and parent volunteers have made a positive, lasting impact on the entire AK community,” Switzer said. “We are truly blessed to have such talented people who work tirelessly to put on the best shows.” In addition to best musical, Ardrey Kell also received the award for best ensemble/chorus.

against the rezoning, including Mark Erwin. Erwin, a former U.S. Ambassador who served roles in the Clinton Administration, spoke on behalf of neighbors during the public hearing. He expressed concerns about there being too much density for such a small site, the loss of legacy trees and cutthrough traffic and safety along small roads. “The Providence Road corridor is highly congested already,” Erwin said.
Councilman Tariq Bokhari, who represents the neighborhood, said both sides made compelling cases. He encouraged them to come to the table in good faith over the next month to arrive at some concessions. He directed staff to look at those neighborhood roads and the life expectancy of the legacy trees. “Providence Road and that corridor and just the disaster of congestion that exists makes a lot of cases that otherwise might look like no-brainers into hard decisions,” Bokhari said. “I haven't seen the plan that is going to make it better yet.”
Mayor Pro Tem Julie Eiselt said she struggles with Providence Road. She'd like to get a sense from staff about how many redevelopment projects have been approved in recent years. “There are more projects in the pipeline down Providence Road,” she said. “We look at these things as a one-off. That's not that bad. It looks nice. The fact of the matter is it's dumping a lot of traffic out on Providence Road and onto Wendover.” Councilman Ed Driggs, who represents the Ballantyne area, said he cringes every time he hears Providence Road in a rezoning
context. “We can't make a policy on a case-to-case basis with our zoning decisions,” Driggs said. “I've been calling for a couple of years for a more informed congestion policy. I think a moratorium is not the right idea. But you can have a specific Providence Road subplan.” The South District Plan, which dates back to 1993, recommends three dwelling units per acre. But the proposal falls in line with the General Development Policies, allowing for up to eight dwellings per acre, said Dave Pettine, a city planner.

Rev. Tony: I survived being an HOA board president Tony Marciano Reverend
D
on’t ask me why, but two years ago at the annual meeting of our homeowner’s association, I approached the incoming board president and offered to help him write the community newsletter. It didn’t sound that difficult. In addition to the newsletter, I found myself helping him and the other board members deal with some challenging issues. I became a non-voting, non-member of the board. As he came to the end of his presidency, he sold his home and moved out of the community. The vice president was putting his property on the market. Neither one could serve as president. Having previously served as our HOA president, they asked me to serve. Originally, I said no, but after considering it, I said yes. At the annual meeting, we informed the community the need to raise dues significantly. As you can imagine, it did not go over well and did not get the votes required. The next day, I was HOA president. We began working on a strategy to secure the necessary votes. The next seven months were spent communicating with neighbors, emailing them, mailing them and knocking on doors. By the time December came along, we secured the needed votes, raising the dues 25 percent (yes, you read that correct). At the same time, the pool needed major repairs. Actually, we needed to rebuild it. There were conversations with various contractors and negotiating payments to preserve cash flow. During the year, there were the normal board issues including architectural review requests for building things on a homeowner’s property, trees in common areas that needed to be removed, changing management companies and getting the pool ready for the season. The day came for this year’s annual meet-
ing, a day I dreaded. It would be my last day as president. I was deeply concerned that people who were vocal about my leadership would disrupt the meeting. I took the day off and found myself going through Scripture, a lot of Scripture. I needed a promise from God that He would be with me that night. Let me tell you the back drop for this scripture: Moses is 120 years old. He tells the people that God does not allow him to go into the Promised Land. They will go on ahead without him. He assures them that the Lord will deliver their enemies to them. He then says these words, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” In the next verse, he looks at Joshua and reminds him to be strong and courageous. What grabbed my attention were the words, “because of them.” I knew who “they” were. I knew them by name. All of my Dale Carnegie efforts to win friends and influence people didn’t change how they felt about me. “They” showed up. “They” smiled at me when they arrived. I started the meeting. I had forgotten my concerns and wanted to lead the HOA to its own Promised Land so that it would not operate as it did in the past. I wrapped it up by asking homeowners to meet their neighbors and plan a block party. The meeting was over. Everyone was pleased with what occurred. I realized that God was faithful to his word. He had told me, “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” He was faithful to His Word. I’ll be back in two weeks. Until then, live well my friend. The Rev. Tony Marciano is the president/ CEO of the Charlotte Rescue Mission. He is available to speak to your group.

Knights rise back to top as baseball champions by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – It’s sort of an unlikely source of motivation, but certainly some of the determination for the Charlotte Christian baseball team’s rise back to the top after a three-season hiatus can be traced to the pane of a window. The Knights had won four straight NCISAA titles from 2012 to 2015, making it 15 for the program as a whole and a whopping 13 titles coming during a 17-year span of dominance. But things weren’t looking great now. Covenant Day had beaten Christian in the regular season finale and the Knights were again playing Wesleyan Christian in the finals. Since the Knights’ last state title in 2015, Wesleyan Christian had become the state’s power. They won titles in 2016, 2017 and 2018, with the last two coming against the Knights. And now they were set to meet again.
The Knights display conference and state championship banners on the outfield wall of the pristinely manicured Charlotte Christian baseball field. There is also a year plate for each of their previous championships afixed the clubhouse window in all spots except for one. With the lack of state titles since 2015,the clubhouse had one blank spot with room for one more banner. And something this team became almost obsessive over, according to coach Greg Simmons, the orchestrator of all of the Knights’ vast success. “You can see all of the state championships, but from this one window it’s not filled in with banners,” he said. “Those guys started saying, ‘OK, it’s our job to fill in the window.’ It got to be so intense that we started having our team meetings and before-practice meetings under that window and make guys look at it. “The last two or three weeks, they played see BASEBALL, Page 2B

‘More than just a team’ Cougars roar to four in boys tennis by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
MATTHEWS – There’s sort of a rallying cry around the Carmel Christian boys tennis program that stems from their first season when the Cougars were snubbed by the NCISAA tournament seeding committee. The Cougars thought they were good enough to compete. The state did not. So, for the past three seasons coming into 2019, Carmel Christian has made sure to win the state title each season in dominating fashion. But what would this year bring with the loss of UNC Wilmington freshman Dillon Gooch, the team’s leader the past four seasons? It turns out, everything fell right into place. Senior Alec Strause returned from injury late last season and took over the No.1 spot that Gooch had vacated. This season, the Christopher Newport commit lost just one match, a tiebreaker to Charlotte Country Day’s No. 1. At No. 2 was Matthew Gooch, a junior and Dillon’s brother. Matthew Gooch and Strause also played No. 1 doubles for the Cougars and were a strength all season long. “Matthew’s serve has gotten stronger and stronger,” coach Kellie Kayton said. “He’s 6-5 now, and he has an amazing kick-serve. The’s even more consistent than last year from the baseline. He’s a smart, smart player. And Alec has been consistently good all year for us.” Before the season, the No. 3 spot was up for grabs but seventh-grader Gabe Avram grabbed hold of it early and held it throughout the year. “He was an anchor at that spot. Just amazing,” Kayton said. “He stepped up in the tournament. I’m sure he was very nervous when he first started in doubles, but he settled right down and just played his game. He’s a very smart player because he’s playing kids older and stronger, but he’s very good at dissecting his opponents’ game and what he has to do to win.” The 4-6 spots in the lineup remained intact and relatively young with senior Rob Gruber, eighth-grader Sam Halverson and freshman Reed Hilton rounding out the regular rotation and giving the Cougars another support to lean on as they rolled through their season. “Rob, Sam Halvorsen and Reed Hilton got to play the same positions that they did last season,” Kayton said. “And that helped solidify us and gave us strength throughout

our lineup. They had another year of experience, so that helped us, too. They were great all year.” That group led the Cougars to close wins over Division 1 powers Providence Day (5-4), Charlotte Latin (5-4) and 3A heavyweights Marvin Ridge (5-4 on the road) and Weddington (6-3). Their only losses were to Division I finalists Country Day (9-0) and Greensboro Day, (5-4) who clipped the Cougars in their regular-season finale. In all, the Cougars went 17-2, got the NCISAA Division II’s No. 1 seed and blitzed through the season with a 109-29 match record. In the opening rounds of the playoffs, Carmel Christian rolled through Carolina Day and Asheville School in 5-0 wins before meeting 13-3 No. 2-seed Cape Fear in the finals. The Cougars gave up one match, but prevailed with a relatively easy 5-1 win and
their fourth consecutive title. “I’m so happy for them,” Kayton said. “All of our players have something in common in that they will all gut out a match and stay out there as long as it takes and whatever it takes to win a match. These guys have more heart than anyone could imagine. They encourage each other and it’s truly more than just a team.” Kayton and her team are settling in and enjoying this one for a while, but she has to be thinking about what the future could hold for a team already with four titles and bringing four of six singles players back after the graduation of Strause and Gruber. But the future is still strong for next year with even more reinforcements on their way. “This year proved that God gives you immeasurably more than you ask for, and we were able to win our fourth,” she said. “We will lose Alec and Rob this year, but we have a lot of young, good kids. We’re excited for the future.”
All of our players have something in common in that they will all gut out a match and stay out there as long as it takes and whatever it takes to win a match.”

CHARLOTTE – The Providence Day girls team put up a dominating performance to win its seventh consecutive NCISAA track and field championship while the boys finished as runner-ups for the second consecutive season after winning each of the previous four titles. But, after a protest, the Chargers were found to have tied Christ School. The protest arose as a scoring issue. Originally, the Chargers were said to have scored 142.50 to Christ School’s 150.5. But with a new rule just put in place this season, teams can now place as many runners as they can get into the top eight in any event. It used to just be the top three for any one team. The Chargers placed Christian Landis first, Jason Krell second, Colter Nichols fifth, Andrew Riolo seventh and Adam Habas eighth in the 3,200-meter run. With the scoring adjusted, the Chargers tied Christ School at 147.5 points and were named co-champions. The Charger boys led the way with five championships. Adam Roupas won the 300 hurdles, Spencer Wood took first in the triple jump, Landis won the 3,200 title and Krell held off a strong field to take the 1,600. In addition, Roupas, Kelechi Eziri, Olufemi Cole and Ben Joyner combined to win the 4x100 relay. Metrolina Christian had three individual state champions, including Jadus Davis (100), Lance Penegar (shot put) and Jed Wooten (110 hurdles). Country Day got wins from Marcus Woods (200) and Jack Stajos (discus). In addition, Charlotte Christian’s Henry Rutledge won the long jump.

at a totally different level. They brought that same intensity the last three weeks, and sometimes with kids it’s hard to keep them that focused. But, boy that was fun to watch.” In the last practice of the season, Simmons said he wrote down what he wanted to accomplish, and when they did it all, they could leave. Drills that normally took 10 minutes took two or three. Simmons said they left super early and focused going into the state finals. To get there, the Knights had pounded Country Day 7-1 and snuck past Christ School 4-3 on a walkoff. “They were focused,” Simmons said. “We’ve been there the last two years and came up short the last two years. The seniors weren’t going to let that happen again. This senior class was impressive. They were focused from the first workout we had in the fall and they bought in. They were phenomenal.” In the first game of the best-of-

Overall, Christ School and Providence Day split the titles with 1,447.5 points each. They were followed by Country Day (63, third), Metrolina Christian (52, fourth), Charlotte Latin (46.5, fifth), Charlotte Christian (42.5, sixth) and Covenant Day (34.5, eighth). The Charger girls put up 156 points altogether, which was 31 better than runner-up Country Day. Freshman standout Falon Spearman led the Chargers by winning both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles to get Providence Day off on the right foot. Spearman would later help a pair of Charger relay teams win as she teamed with Myah Gabriel, Olivia Hee and Camryn Taylor in the 4x100 and Taylor, Reagan Peterson and Leah Horwitz in the 4x400. Hee was also victorious in the long jump and placed second in both the 100 and 200.
top of the fifth inning and never looked back. “Every time they scored, it seemed we came back,” Simmons said. “That was awesome.” JB Awolowo homered and Brett Adams, Matthew Sliverling and JD Suarez had two hits in the game.
Eliza Cardwell won the 800, was second in the 100 and 300 hurdles and placed fourth in the long jump. Molly Firr won the 800 to round out the Chargers’ individual winners, but they also took gold in the 4x200 team of Peterson, Gabriel, Camille Hough and Taylor. Zoe Weatherington and Kaia Putnam both claimed two events each to lead Country Day to a second-place finish. Weatherington won gold in the shot put and discus while Putnam won the 100 and 200 sprint races. Clarkson Graham won the 400 while Sophie Spada won the 1,600. The Bucs also won the 4x800 with Linda Fonville, Graham, Kathryn Leighty and Spada combining on the win. Metrolina Christian had two individual winners on the girls side of the track as Daphne Bogert topped the pole vault and Taylor Pogues won the long jump. Charlotte Latin’s Madeleine Pease took first in the high jump. Charlotte Christian’s Abby Goad won the

triple jump. Overall, the Chargers won with 156 points and were followed by Country Day (125, second), Charlotte Latin (73, third), Charlotte Christian (57, fifth), Metrolina Christian (37, eighth) and Covenant Day (34, ninth) in the 13-team field. Panther girls second in NCHSAA 4A Providence finished second overall to lead all area teams at the NCHSAA 4A track and field championship, which concluded May 19 at the Irvin Bell Track in Greensboro. The Panthers were led by standout junior Ella Mainwaring Foster, who won an individual gold medal in the 400-meter race. She also teamed with Nimeesha Coleman, Amanda Watson and Ariana Rivera to win the 4x400 relay. The Panthers also placed second in the 4x200 (Coleman, Holly Klug, Mainwaring Foster and Rivera). Other top-five performers for the Panthers included Coleman (second in 300 hurdles), Rivera (third in 300 hurdles) and Watson
percentage of .530. “My goodness,” Simmons said. “He figured it out and turned into a really, really good hitter. I think he has a chance to hit at Coastal. The kid is going to be pretty special.” Killen started the finale on May 18, but gave up two runs in the top of the first inning. “JT pitched and in the first inning he struggled,” Simmons said. “After that, he kind of settled in and was really impressive.” The Knights answered right back with three runs in the bottom of the first and held the lead until the fourth when Silverling’s sacrifice fly made the score 4-2. In the fifth, Silverling struck again with a double that scored Killen and led to the game’s finals 5-2 score after Matt Mayers pitched two scoreless innings of relief and struck out the side in the seventh, setting off a large celebration. “That was special,” Simmons said. “We’ve been really blessed to have really good players and win it a lot, but after a few years, you kind of start thinking, ‘OK, well maybe the run is over.’ So it was good for the guys to bounce back.”
(fourth in the 800). Rocky River’s Jirah Sidberry was the Ravens only girls champion as the senior N.C. State commit won the long jump. Myers Park’s 4x800 team of Brenda Gray, Sofia Christofaro, Beasley Gordon and Cora Cooke rounded out the area girls winners. Panther Creek won the girls race with 56.5 points. They were followed by Providence (second, 47 points), Myers Park (fourth, 36), Ardrey Kell (14th, 19), Butler T-24th, 10), Rocky River Southern Mecklenburg produced two state champions in South Meck’s Jabari Dalton and Rocky River’s Christopher Alexander. Dalton took gold in the 300 hurdles while Alexander, an N.C. State commit, won the triple jump. Cary won the boys event with 46 points, 12 more than runner-up East Meck. Other south Charlotte teams included Rocky River (11th, 22 points), Myers Park (21st, 12.5), Ardrey Kell (T-12, 12), South Meck (T-24th, 11) and Providence (T-40th, five).

About time: Mustangs win first golf title in over 60 years by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – Jason Lockwood has had a very successful run guiding the Myers Park golf team for the better part of the last decade. In his ninth season, Lockwood has never had a Mustang team finish out of the top three at the state tournament. It’s an awesome accomplishment, especially for a Charlotte area deprived of an NCHSAA 4A champion since Providence won it all back in 1996, way before any current high-schoolers were born. The reasons are varied, but Research Triangle-area schools like Broughton, Green Hope and Pinecrest, which plays on the state championship course, have won often. Then there’s the numbers. Golf teams can bring five golfers to states – although just four score – with an alternate. Myers Park has had very strong top-fives in the past, and have shot lower scores than they did at this year’s state tournament, but they’ve never had the same results. The Southwestern 4A conference tournament offered little resistance and the Mustangs cruised to an 11-stroke win at the 4A Western Regional tournament. There, Thomas Eubanks was the individual regional champ with a low round of 69. Luke Hackworth followed with a 72, which tied for third. “Thomas and Luke are my 1-2 and carried us all year,” Lockwood said. “They were probably within a couple of shots of each other all year and they were consistent every time out.” Pearse Lucas (73), Ben Moorehead (75) and Cole Chambers (80) rounded out the scoring for the Mustangs, giving them a 289300 advantage over runner-up Ardrey Kell.
“Cole, Ben, Pearse and Grant Smith were all in the mix for the top five and would sort of go back and forth all year,” Lockwood said. “That was a huge strength for us to have five very solid guys in the tournament and competition all year.” Lockwood said that competition was key. While Hackworth and Eubanks were the lead guys, Lockwood would still mix his lineup of 12 golfers around during in-season events and give them equal chances to be in the top five. Chambers is a good example of how that system is beneficial. Last season, Chambers didn’t make the team after he didn’t play well at a tryout, but this season he’s a top-five player. “Cole has worked his butt off,” Lockwood said. “He was concentrating solely on making the team because I think he had a bad tryout and didn’t make it last year. He’s just now getting into playing tournaments, but he’s been really good for us all year and in that mix.” After the regional win, the Mustangs traveled to Pinehurst No. 8 and finished the first day of the tournament two strokes back of New Bern after carding a 301. Even worse, there was a group of six teams bunched up in windy conditions entering the second day. “I thought we were in a really good position down two,” Lockwood said. “I knew the wind was going to be an issue ... but in the back of my mind I’m thinking that we have five guys and if one of their guy messes up it will give us an advantage.” At the state tournament, the top three teams go off the front nine while the next three go off the back simultaneously. Lockwood said there’s no way to tell who is playing well or where teams stand, although he knew the Mustangs had beaten their group, which finished several holes faster than their

counterparts. Whispers started spreading that New Bern and Broughton were tearing it up, but Lockwood and his team stayed positive. They’d played well in the conditions. Chambers led the team by tying for sixth with a two-day 147 and was followed by Hackworth (148, ninth overall), Lucas (150, T-13th) and Moorehead (159, T-40th). Eubanks, the regional champ, had struggled with a 161 and didn’t count in the final tally. With six teams finishing clumped within 11 strokes, Myers Park prevailed with a two-
shot win over New Bern and a four-stroke turnaround to win the schools first state title since 1956 when the Mustangs won four of five titles, also winning 1952 through 1954. “I think it was relief and excitement because I think we hit a little rough patch there in the middle of our round and you hear teams like Broughton are playing well and you just don’t know,” Lockwood said.“It’s just such a hard tournament to win. We won a lot of big tournaments during the year, but this is something different. It seems like we finally broke through the wall and brought one home to Charlotte.”

Chargers break through with win over Hawks by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE -- When Charlotte Latin’s Brooke Bellavia crossed a perfectly placed ball atop the Providence Day defense that found teammate Sarah Watson for a beautiful crossand-volley goal, there had to have been some Providence Day faithful fans with an unwelcome yet familiar feeling. Watson’s score had put Charlotte Latin up 1-0 in the NCISAA girls soccer championship at the top-seeded Hawks’ Patten Stadium. Charlotte Latin had earned the top seed after going 17-3-1 to that point, and the Hawks were winners of 10 straight despite splitting two games with Providence Day during the regular season. During that stretch, they’d allowed just four goals behind star goalkeeper Ruthie Jones. The Hawks were battle tested having won each of the previous four state championships. That was the part that stung so bad about Watson’s score, which came early in the first half. This final was the fifth straight title game for the Hawks and now the fourth against the Chargers who had gone 0-3 in championship games against Latin during that stretch. But this year, the Chargers had a different mindset after falling behind 1-0 early. “I think we knew we were the better team coming in,” said tri-captain Morgan Hart. “We just needed to calm down and play our game. Even after they got that first goal, we all still believed we could come back and win this game.” With the score still scoreless nearing halftime, Providence Day finally cashed in on one of its chances. Hart, who led the team with 25 assists and was the co-leader with 29 goals scored this season, assisted freshman Maggie Carabell, who got the Chargers on the board with just two minutes left in the half. “I honestly felt, even when we were down 1-0, that we had enough attackers to get ourselves back in the

game but they had the great keeper so we needed to be patient,” said Providence Day coach Dan Dudley. “That goal was key. When you have two minutes to go and to get that was really big for us going into halftime.” After Latin opened the game with their goal, the Hawks struggled to get past the Charger defense, and that trend only intensified in the second half with captains Louisa Bynum and Taylor France shutting down most of the few real offensive chances the Hawks got in the second half. “These guys are amazing,” Hart said. “Latin has all-state forwards dribbling and driving at them, but I’ve never seen anyone so calm. I don’t think they got past our wing backs much less these two. They were great leaders back there for us.” While the Hawks were quite literally on lockdown, the Chargers attacked relentlessly, but time and time again Jones would turn them away. As regulation ticked away, the two teams set to play two 10-minute overtime periods, and it didn’t take long for the Chargers to assert their will. “I think we had to use our other losses this season to fuel us,” France said. “We knew what losing felt like, and we weren’t losing this time. We just needed to push forward.” Sophomore Petra Caldwell scored in the first overtime to give the Char-
gers a 2-1 lead after Providence Day had peppered shots at Jones all day long. “I think they started to get tired and we were able to keep pushing,” Dudley said. “If you look at the shot count, that is what tells you the story. There’s a difference between out-shooting them and taking care of business. I think we had enough offensive firepower to get back in the game. Once we scored, we were off. “At the end of the day, the cream rises to the top. We just had to be patient and we found a way.” Katerina Peroulas scored the final goal off an assist from Morgan Hart and the Chargers were champions once again after winning back-toback titles in 2013-14. Now, with just four seniors graduating and a crop of newcomers that Dudley is excited about ready to step in, this could be a run the Chargers could be on for some time. “I think a lot of it was a mental block. We’ve lost to them four times ,and I think it was a matter of us just getting over that hump,” he said. “And we did. For me, that was for all of the girls that have come before them. But also now, they’ve set the precedent for all that will come later because the pendulum has swung back to us and that sound of town. I think that helps with the young girls we’re re-loading with.”
Area teams bow out just short of playoffs CHARLOTTE – All eight of the remaining southern Mecklenburg County teams bowed out of the playoffs on May 17 or 18 in soccer, lacrosse, baseball and softball. Baseball had three teams still in the NCHSAA fourth round action and one playing for a state title in the NCISAA Division II. In 4A ball, No. 2 seed Providence fell 5-4 to Mooresville, an 11 seed. The Blue Devils jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but the Panthers would get one run in the fifth when Sam Kagan drove home Patrick Bloomingburg to cut the lead to 3-1. Mooresville would expand the lead to 5-1 going into the seventh. The Panthers scored three runs on just one hit by taking advantage of a pair of walks and a hit batsman, but the Panthers season ended with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning with a pop out to the Mooresville catcher. The Panthers finished 25-4. In 1A baseball, Queens Grant advanced to the fourth round of the playoffs for the first time in school history. After a first-round bye, the Stallions opened with a harrowing 5-4 win in 11 innings over Lincoln Charter and continued with a 10-1 win over Mount Airy. Their season was cut short by Uwharrie Charter Academy, who ended the Stallions’ season with a 10-5 win on April 17. Queens Grant finished 19-8. In NCISAA 3A finals, Carmel Christian made a run to the title game but fell to a very good High Point Christian team, which finished 24-4. The Cougars received a first round bye, and defeated SouthLake Christian 11-10 to advance past the second round. In the semifinals, the Cougars beat Christ School 5-3. In the best-of-three championship, High Point Christian swept the series with a 5-2 win on April 17 and a 9-1 win the following afternoon. Carmel Christian finished 1111. The Providence softball team
was still alive in 4A ball, but fell 11-3 to South Caldwell on April 17. The Panthers took leads of 1-0 and 2-1, but South Caldwell blew open a close game with six runs in the sixth inning. Senior Lili Bowen had two hits for the Panthers and led the regular starters in most offensive categories including batting average (.543), home runs (8), RBIs, (40), runs scored (34), doubles (7) and triples (7). Providence finished 18-6. In NCHSAA 4A lacrosse, Ardrey Kell wrapped up a dream season with a trip to the title game and a young roster ready to build up this season when the Knights went 20-3. The Knights knocked off Grimsley (19-0), Reagan (17-5), Myers Park (12-11) and Page (11-5) to reach the championship game. The Knights trailed just 3-2 after one quarter, but Bishop McGuinness put up five goals in the second and three in the third to pull away for the 12-5 win. In NCISAA boys lacrosse, Country Day made living dangerously the norm, but in the end fell one goal short of a state championship. The Bucs had defeated Durham Academy (10-6) and Providence Day (10-9) in the semifinals, but couldn’t continue their magic against Christ School, who escaped with a 7-6 win. The Bucs fell to 19-6 on the season. In 1A/2A/3A girls lacrosse, Charlotte Catholic advanced to the final only to fall 17-10 to Cardinal Gibbons. The Cougars had gotten past Hickory (27-13), Myers Park (19-10), Lake Norman (215) and Marvin Ridge (19-7) to reach the finals. The teams were tied at 6 at the break, but the Cougars couldn’t keep up in the second half. They fell to 17-5 on the season. Finally, in girls soccer, it was Charlotte Catholic again. The Cougars had won 10 of 11, but a double overtime 2-1 loss to Cuthbertson ended their season in the third round on May 16 at 16-4-3.
