After outscoring last-place Marble Falls, 21-0, in 12 innings this past week, front-running Georgetown will try to take a couple more steps toward the District 25-5A baseball championship this week against arch-rival East View.

The Eagles (6-0 in 25-5A, 12-7-1 for the year) and Patriots (2-4 in 25-5A, 7-11-1 on the season) opened their two-game set on Tuesday night at Eagle Baseball Field and then conclude the series with a 7 p.m. Friday battle at Patriots Field.

This past week’s 15-0 and 6-0 victories over Marble Falls gave GHS its third-consecutive series sweep and increased its lead in the 25-5A race to two games in front of Vista Ridge, which split this past week with Vandegrift, and defending champion Dripping Springs, which gave East View the broom treatment.

Despite the one-sided nature of the series with Marble Falls (0-6 in 25-5A), it had its interesting points. In Tuesday’s road victory, the Eagles scored all 15 of their runs in the third inning, which may or may not be a school record since that category is not recognized in the record book.

FCA All-Star Game Ideal Event

If you are a football fanatic wanting to sharpen your spectator skills slowly, circle June 10 on your calendars.

It will allow the dedicated individual to start building their voice to a desired post-season decibel level that will startle small children 12 blocks from the stadium and to begin building the self-discipline demanded to withstand a roaring call of nature during a crucial point in the championship game – the one you’ve awaited for decades.

Like the athletes on the field, the super fan mostly builds toward the climactic moments of the season in a steady manner. As the old coach says, “You don’t want to peak too early.”

The date of June 10 is ideal for sharpening those skills.

High School spring games have been over for three or more weeks, the 7-on-7 State Tournament is still more than a month away, NFL players are still checking their bank statements instead of the playbook before reporting to camp in July, and colleges and high schools are nearly

two months away from starting practices in early August.

The real games on all levels are still over the horizon.

But on Friday, June 10, football will be played at the GISD Athletic Complex in the inaugural Fellowship of Christian Athletes All-Star Classic. 90 graduating seniors from our area will go head-to-head in what will be, in many cases, the final competitive hurrah in many careers and will also be a building point for those players going on to play on several collegiate levels as freshmen.

The game follows in the footsteps of similar successful ventures by FCA groups in Abilene, Tyler and Waco.

Six former GISD athletes are currently on rosters.

Dakota Cahill, Cade Clapper, Hunter Creasey and Cole Northcutt will represent Georgetown on the Blue team, which will be coached by veteran Eagles coach Jason Dean. East View’s Corbin Truslow and Allan Edelmon will play for the Gold team. Patriots head coach Rob Davis is an assistant coach for the Gold under Vandegrift’s Drew Sanders.

With the game still two months in the future the rosters are considered somewhat fluid, but a large number of the players showed up, many with their parents, at an organizational meeting Sunday afternoon at the First United Methodist Church gym in Georgetown.

Lady Eagles Upend Champion, 2-1

By Taylor Wiseman Advocate Sports Writer

It seemed almost ordained that Georgetown would get a third shot at District 25-5A champion Vandegrift if it won its first two playoff games. The Lady Eagles did their part by besting 27-5A runner-up Boerne Champion, 2-1, this past Friday in an area battle at Dripping Springs. That followed a 2-0 win over 26-5A titlist Bastrop Cedar Creek in bi-district.

Georgetown and Vandegrift played Monday at the GISD Athletic Complex in a Region IV-5A quarterfinal with the visiting Vipers seen as a heavy favorite.

GHS lost to Vandegrift, 2-0 and 3-0, during the district campaign.

The winner of that match will play either Sharyland Pioneer or Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial in the semifinals of the Region IV5A Tournament on Friday at the Cabaniss Soccer Field in Corpus Christi. The regional finals are on the same field on Saturday.

Despite Vandegrift’s credentials, GHS coach Sam McCutchen was optimistic about the Lady Eagles’ chances and is excited about the way his team is playing.

“I think this is the perfect time to peak, and the opportunity is there. We hope to seize it,” he said.

Now, let’s look at those Vandegrift credentials. The Vipers entered Monday’s game having shut out 12 consecutive opponents, including playoff foes Austin McCallum, 4-0, and San Marcos, 3-0. The last team to score on Vandegrift was Cedar Park in a 1-1 tie on February 5, basically two months ago. They outscored the opposition in their 14 district games by a 62-4 margin.

Vandy, a state finalist last season, finished the 25-5A season with an 11-0-3 record and had a 15-5-4 season mark, including a

4-5-1 non-district mark.

Georgetown, the fourthplace finisher in 25-5A, took a 10-9-4 record into Monday’s match.

McCutchen was happy with the win over a Champion team that had advanced on the strength of a 9-0 win over San Antonio Jefferson in bi-district and thought that the Lady Eagles came out ready to play Friday night.

“Boerne was a good team . . . We were on our game initially and did very well, we scored quickly,” McCutchen said.

With 31 minutes and

18 seconds left in the first half, the Lady Eagles were awarded a free kick at the 35-yard line. Junior Baylee Ford took the kick and found the back of the net notching her 10th goal of the season.

Ford was excited when she gave the Lady Eagles a lead. “[I thought] we are in this and can totally do this,” Ford said.

Slightly more than 10 minutes later, Georgetown extended its lead to 2-0.

Sophomore Sara Elston assisted a goal scored by senior Payton Nunez with

20:50 left on the board.

The Lady Eagles 2-0 lead was short lived. Georgetown kept possession throughout most of the first half only allowing Boerne Champion to attack three times.

During one of those chances, Boerne Champion scored off of a deflection.

The Lady Chargers scored with 20:06 left in the first half.

Georgetown had opportunities to further its lead but was unlucky with two shots hitting off the crossbar. The game remained 2-1.

The regional quarterfinals

demonstrated the strength of District 25-5A as Vista Ridge and Cedar Park were paired in one of the matchups on the upper half of the bracket. The winner between the Lady Rangers and Lady Timberwolves will face either Gregory-Portland or Sharyland in the regional semifinals at Cabaniss Field on Friday.

The Region IV-5A champion will advance to the UIL State Tournament on Thursday-Saturday, April 13-16, at the GISD Athletics Complex. The 5A semifinals are on Thursday with the finals on Saturday.

EV Boys, GISD Individuals Shine At Relays Weather has traditionally been a key player at the annual Eagle Relays. Downpours, soaring temperatures, bone-chilling cold, wind and lightning have all, at times, tried to mount the medals stand or at least alter the schedule and affect performances.

Friday’s edition was within those bounds. Rain, chilly temperatures, wind and lighting took their turns and combined to bedevil the competition, which didn’t finish until well into the night. All junior varsity and three varsity field events were cancelled, the start of the meet was postponed from noon to 2 p.m., there was a lengthy lightning delay, and conditions were less-than-ideal for top-flight performances.

Despite all this, it was the strongest overall showing of the season for GISD track and field performers with less than two weeks remaining before the District 25-5A Meet on Wednesday and Thursday, April 13-14, at Vandegrift’s Monroe Stadium.

East View and Round Rock McNeil tied for the boys varsity team title with 84 points each, and Georgetown and East View entries won a combined 11 of 31 events that were completed.

The boys were unable to compete in the long jump, and the girls didn’t compete in the high or triple jumps.

Individually, Georgetown sophomore Jazmine Hernandez won both the 3,200and 1,600-meter runs. In the longer race, completed before the lightning delay, Hernandez ran a time of 12 minutes, 3.77 seconds, leading a 1-2-3 finish in the event by the Lady Eagles in which Natalie Parks (12:06.81) placed second and McKenzie Hargrove (12:10.39) finished third.

Hernandez took the 1,600

with a 5:26.51, .30 of a second ahead of Hutto’s Ariel Arriaga.

The Lady Eagles also received first places from Maryn DeMaio in the 800 (2:28.87) and Hannah Newman in the pole vault (10 feet). East View’s lone first came from Keely Wallis with a 35-11 in the shot put.

Wallis also was third in the discus with a 101-0.

In the girls team race, GHS finished third with 78 points behind Round Rock’s 123 points and Midland Lee’s 88. East View was seventh with 40 points.

En route to the boys title, the Patriots won four events, including both the 4x100 and 4x200 relays with times of 43.91 and 1:32.76. Mason Klinger, Chris Matta, Paul Barron and Devhaun Little were the winning foursome in the 4x100, while Marcus Maldonado joined Klinger, Matta and Little to capture the 4x200.

The Patriots’ other two first-place finishes came

from Matta in the 200 with a 22.73 and Leo Ramirez with a 125-9 in the discus.

The Eagles, who placed sixth with 70 points, claimed two individual events−Gus McVean 43-2 in the triple jump, and Andrew Johnson, 53.17 in the 400.

Both East View and Georgetown will compete in the Patriots Relays on Thursday. Field events are scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., with the 3,200-meter runs at 3:30 p.m. The remainder of the running events will start at 5:30 p.m. Competition will be staged in four divisions − varsity boys, varsity girls, JV boys and JV girls.

Dripping Springs Sweeps Patriots

By Jon Whittemore Advocate Correspondent

After breaking a threegame losing streak with a 12-9 non-district victory over Pflugerville Connally this past Saturday, East View (2-4, 8-12-1) will play arch-rival Georgetown (6-0, 12-7-1) in a two-game District 25-5A series this week.

The series is extremely important for both teams, but more so for the Patriots, who can’t afford to fall to 2-6 in a district race that is already starting to see separation of the top teams from the rest of the field.

Georgetown needs a sweep to remain at least two games up on the field.

The Patriots and Eagles opened the set on Tuesday night at Eagle Baseball Field and will conclude the series at Patriots Field at 7 p.m. Friday. After finishing with GHS, East View will travel to Leander for a 7 p.m. game with the Lions on Tuesday, April 12.

East View was swept 13-1 and 6-3 this past week by defending 25-5A champion Dripping Springs, which improved to 4-2 and pulled into a tie with Vista Ridge for second place with eight playing dates remaining in the district race.

Technically it did not rain during last Tuesday’s game with the Tigers, but boy did it pour. On a dreary and misty night with a chill wind blowing out to left field, Dripping Springs jumped to an early lead with three in the first inning and never looked back as the Tigers romped to an easy one-sided win. Led

by UCLA football signee Ethan Fernea and BYU baseball signee Shep Shepard, the Tigers completely overwhelmed the Patriots.

Fernea collected three hits including a three-run home run in the third and Shepard sat down 15 of the 18 batters he faced in the five-inning game.

Shepard struck out six in his complete-game effort, giving up only two hits while striking out six. Ironically both of his

giving up four hits and five runs.

In addition to scoring 12 runs, the Patriots also left nine men on base. Defensively, they committed two errors.

The Patriots jumped to an early lead, scoring nine runs through their half of the fifth inning. They also scored three more in the top of the seventh. Connally scored one in the bottom of the fifth, three in the bottom of the sixth, and five in the bottom of the seventh before the final out was registered.

Records – Dripping Springs, 3-2 in 25-5A, 6-10; East View, 2-3 in 25-5A, 7-11-1.

allowed hits were for extra bases. Senior third baseman Jacob Dauer stroked a two-out double into the left field power ally in the bottom of the fourth, but was left stranded when the next batter struck out.

Junior Dalton Westbrook scored the only Patriot run when he smashed a Shepard fastball that cleared the leftfield fence as the leadoff batter in the fifth. The following three batters went down quietly on a total of 10 Shepard pitches.

The Patriots did not play well defensively. Patriot pitchers Aaron Parks and Chase Cutler gave up a combined 12 hits, hit three batters and surrendered two home runs among the five extra base hits. The defense also committed three costly errors.

“We’ve just gotta get back and go to work on

getting better,” said coach Matt Pullen. “They capitalized on some blooper hits in the first, and we need to play better early and not have such a deep hole to climb out of. I thought Parks getting out of the first inning after three dink singles, a walk and a hit batter while only giving up three runs was pretty good.

“The key for us is to play well early and to control more of the ballgame so we have a chance late to win. We’ll go to Dripping Springs on Friday and try to split the series. Our players won’t give up.”

On Friday, the game was more competitive, but ultimately, the results were the same. Dripping Springs went up 5-0 in the bottom of the second before East View struck for three of its own in the top of the third. That was as close as

the Patriots were able to come as they were shut out the rest of the way and the Tigers added an insurance run in their half of the sixth to make the final score 6-3.

Dauer pitched six innings, striking out three.

He also had an RBI in the losing effort. EV collected three runs on only four hits.

Dripping Springs scored six runs on nine hits. The Tigers were again led by Fernea who had two hits and four RBIs. In the non-district win over Connally, East View unleashed an unexpected barrage of offensive power to win a make-up game played. The Pats had struggled for several games (including three straight district loses) to generate consistent offense. On Saturday, they pounded out 12 hits and scored their most runs (12) in any single

game so far this season.

Hitting leaders were senior Corbin Truslow, who stroked two doubles in addition to a single in his four at-bats. Truslow also walked once and accumulated three RBIs. Junior Chad Williams had two hits in four at-bats, including a double and a single. Williams and Truslow scored two runs each. Chase Cutler batted 1-for-3, and he was credited with two RBIs. Parker Namken went 1-for2 and had two RBIs. Cameron Nowell worked five complete innings in picking up the win. He notched five strikeouts. The seldom-used Nowell gave up only one earned run and scattered three hits from the Connally batters.

Truslow pitched the sixth inning giving up one hit and three runs. Westbrook pitched the final inning

East View Splits Pair, Stands 4-4 In District

By Allan Shiflet Advocate Correspondent

East View split two District 25-5A softball games this past week to even their district record at 4-4 and keep its playoff ambitions alive. The Patriots claimed a 6-0 victory over Vandegrift on Friday and losing 6-4 to Marble Falls earlier in the week.

This week, East View, now, 19-7 on the year, played Vista Ridge at home on Tuesday night and played at Dripping Springs at 7 p.m. Friday. On Tuesday, April 12, the Patriots will entertain Georgetown at 7 p.m.

The Patriots were led last week by freshman pitcher, Taryn Westbrook, who allowed no earned runs and eight hits, while striking out 15 in her 14 innings of work in the Patriots’ two games.

After a Bailey Garrett single to open the second inning, a fielder’s choice, a wild pitch and a Viper error allowed Shaun Cavanaugh to reach third, she alertly dashed home on another wild pitch to give East View the lead at 1-0, all the runs they would need courtesy of Westbrook’s work in the circle.

S. Cavanaugh hit a hard shot into right field for a double in the fourth inning before freshman Devin Cavanaugh drove her big sister in with an RBI liner into center field for a double. Following an Ashley O’Daniel walk, Emily Jones drove a two-RBI double into center field to give the Patriots a 4-0 lead.

advanced to third on a fielder’s choice and took home on a passed ball to up the Pats lead to 5-0.

Jones duplicated the feat in the sixth inning, reaching on an error and advancing to third on a Viper throw-

ing error before scoring on a passed ball to complete the scoring.

“We did a good job defensively,” coach Jolene Volek said. “Ashley O’Daniel and Katie Smith each had great defensive

plays to keep runners off base. We executed base running well and hit the ball a little better. Taryn also had no walks which helped.”

Against Marble Falls on Tuesday, the Lady Mustangs prevailed primarily on the strength of six unearned runs. Patriots’ pitcher Westbrook deserved a better fate, giving up seven hits but no earned runs while striking out seven Mustangs.

The Patriots broke on top in the first inning when Jones singled, Smith walked, then Jones, after advancing to third, executes a delayed steal for the first run. Lauren Saterfield blasted a line shot off the first baseman’s leg for an RBI single to plate Smith, allowing East View to lead 2-0 after one inning.

The story of the night

began in the top of the third when Marble Falls scored four runs on two hits, followed by a Patriot error and a passed ball and two walks to secure the lead. They never relinquished the 4-2 lead. Jones prevented further damage with a spot-on throw from center field to get a runner at home.

In the bottom of the frame, Smith crushed a triple to the center field wall and scored on Garrett’s RBI single to close the deficit to 4-3.

Two more errors in the fourth inning allowed the Mustangs to up the lead to 6-3. Smith’s base running fueled a rally in the bottom of the seventh when, after getting hit by a pitch, she stole second, then third and scored on a wild pitch to bring the Pats closer at 6-4. A strikeout and fly out ended the rally.

GHS Stands 4-4 After Split

By Allan Shiflet Advocate Correspondent

With six games remaining in the District 25-5A softball race, Georgetown stands 4-4 after beating Vandegrift, 18-4, on Tuesday night and then losing to Leander, 12-11, on Friday in a game moved from the Blue Diamond to East View because of wet grounds.

The Lady Eagles, 8-12 on the season, will continue their hunt for a playoff berth this week. They entertained Cedar Park on Tuesday night and remain at home for a 7 p.m. Friday battle with Marble Falls.

On Tuesday, April 12, Georgetown will visit East View for a 7 p.m. game that could be a crucial battle in both team’s drive to reach the state playoffs.

On Friday, GHS lost a

critical nine-inning marathon battle for second place in 25-5A to Leander. In a game eerily like their first meeting, the Lady Eagles jumped on top with singles

by Megan McDonald and Cora Champion, pitcher Jacqueline Kay walked followed by a long sacrifice fly by Taylor Ellsworth.

Freshman Emily Jones hit a two-run single and the Eagles led 3-0 after one.

After two were out in the third, the Lions plated two unearned runs on two hits and a Georgetown error to close the gap to 3-2. Georgetown opened the bottom of the fourth with Carrie Fulton walking, a Jessie LaGreca single followed by an RBI single from McDonald. After a Kay walk, Ellsworth got two more of her four RBIs

with a line drive single to center. A Lion error allowed GHS to plate another run to increase the lead to 7-2.

Leander countered in the top of the fifth with five runs on four singles and a triple to tie the game at seven.

In the top of sixth, Georgetown brought Cory Turner in to pitch, moving Kay to second. With one out in the sixth, a walk and two singles put the Lions ahead 9-7 with runners at second and third. A blooper in short right field had RBI hit written all over it, but a superb play by Kay, ranging far to her right from her second-base position to make the catch, saved at least one run.

GHS rallied back in the bottom of the sixth with a McDonald triple followed

by an RBI single by Champion. Ellsworth continued the inning with a run-scoring single, one of three hits and two walks for a perfect 3-3 night, allowing the Eagles to take back the lead at 10-9.

In the seventh the Lions opened with two singles.

Then Kay alertly fielded a grounder, tagged the runner and threw out the hitter at first for a double play to set up Georgetown one out away from the victory.

However, an over-throw of an infield grounder allowed Leander to continue the inning, advancing the runner to second. A key Lion single allowed the unearned run to score and tie the game at 10.

The Eagles went five up and five down for the last two hitters in the sixth and

three hitters in the seventh to force extra innings.

A couple of singles and a Lady Eagles throwing error allowed Leander to take the lead in the eighth, 11-10.

McDonald banged out her fourth hit of the night with a single advancing to third on a two base throwing error. Champion drove in the tying run with a single to send the game to the ninth tied at 11.

Two singles and a two walks allowed Leander to take a 12-11 lead to the bottom of the ninth. After GHS made two quick outs, Riley Lawrence reached on a Leander throwing error, but was thrown out at second trying to advance to end the game.

In earlier action Georgetown manhandled the Vipers at Vandegrift.

In the first inning the tone was set with a Kay line drive triple to center field, followed by an RBI double

by Ellsworth. Corylynn Reysack, Avery Kelly and Carrie Fulton hit three home runs in succession to open a 6-0 lead, and the rout was on.

In the third, McDonald blasted a three-run triple to center bringing the Eagle lead to 11-0. Vandegrift scored four in the third inning but the Eagles picked up two more runs without a hit in the fourth to lead 13-4. GHS scored five more in the last three innings and were led by McDonald going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBIs. Karina Campo got the win in the circle allowing just four hits and striking out four.

EAGLES FROM PAGE B1 (3-1) pitched a five-inning no-hitter, allowing just two base runners.

Another interesting aspect of the game was that the Eagles had six fewer hits than runs. The game’s numerology quickly explains that gap. The Mustangs made five errors, walked seven, threw three wild pitches and hit two batters.

On Friday, at the usually friendly confines of Eagle Baseball Field, starter Austin Weaver (4-1) went five innings, and side-wheeler Jack Engelmann and closer Daniel Lewis pitched one inning each, as they combined for a three-hitter.

Again, Marble Falls hurt itself defensively with three errors to raise their series total to eight.

“Baker and Weaver gave us a chance to be competitive in the two games,” Foster said. “They did what we want our pitchers to do – pound the strike zone with fastballs and let the defense do its job.”

The Eagles played errorless ball in the series.

“We’ve really caught up since district started,” answered Foster when asked if he felt the Eagles were progressing at the right pace. “In the tournaments, we really don’t have a set lineup since we’re looking at various players and situations. But in district, we get a set lineup and that helps us evaluate things, and we’re very pleased with the progress we’ve made.”

Again, Foster pushed

aside interest in the district race.

“We play faceless opponents,” he said. “We’re only interested in what we do. I literally have to look at the schedule to see who we are playing.”

He did say that righthanders Baker and Weaver would be the starters against the Patriots.

“We’re hoping to get left-handers Brady Childress and Justin Murphy back in two to three weeks,” Foster said. “You really need six arms in the playoffs because of the possibility of a three-game series.”

In his no-hitter, Baker threw 60 pitches (45 strikes), struck out three and walked two. Facing 17 batters, he threw 14 first-

pitch strikes.

In another unique feature of the game, there was no game-winning hit.

Parker Tadlock scored the first-and-deciding run on an error.

As for the other runs in the third inning, the GHS scoring went as follows: Cole Moore doubled in courtesy runner Lewis, 2-0; Tyler Mendoza singled in Moore, 3-0; Ty Markee singled in Mendoza, 4-0; Childress came home on a wild pitch, 5-0; Markee scored on another wild pitch, 6-0; Garrett Conlan plated Ryan Neitsch with a sacrifice fly, 7-0; Moore connected on a bases-loaded homer to right, 11-0; Childress singled in Mendoza, 12-0; Childress scored on a bases-loaded walk, 13-0; and Markee and Neitsch came in on an error, 15-0.

Take a deep breath.

In Friday’s chilly outing, the Eagles scored single runs in each of the first three innings and three in the sixth. Again, there was no game-winning hit as Tadlock scored the first-and-deciding run on a passed ball.

In the second, Markee tripled and scored on an error. Jace Arrieta, who

walked, scored in the third on Moore’s sacrifice fly.

The three runs in the sixth were scored on sacrifice flies by Moore and Cade Sill and an RBI double by Baker.

In collecting the win, Weaver allowed singles in each of the first three innings, accounting for all of the Mustangs’ hits in the series.

will feature two-a-days on Wednesday and Thursday with activities, entertainment and meals. Service projects are being considered. Kickoff time for Friday’s event is 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Arrangements are being made for a band and cheerleaders.

Both head coaches

emphasized that one of the prime goals of the week will be for the players to have fun. The coaches will have plans to make sure all players share the playing time.

The host homes will be in Georgetown and Round Rock with the families – screened by the FCA

View lifter to qualify for state, was the runner-up in Region II, Division I. Moore, placed 14th among 31 entrants in the 220-pound class with a total lift of 1,520 pounds (640 squat, 345 bench, 515 deadlift). Moore, who qualified at regional by attaining the qualifying standard of 1,450 pounds, finished 165 pounds behind first-place Cole Stewart of Aledo.

Both Guerrero and Moore lost ground in the final deadlift. Moore stood 10th with a 1,005 total, and Guerrero was 11th at 505

after the squat and bench.

The most-one-sided competition was at 242 pounds where Kaylond North of Dickinson won by lifting 220 pounds more than runner-up Carlos Chester of Manor, 1,8801,660. The closest was in the super heavyweight division where Carlos Sanchez of Laredo United South and Chance Harmonson of Dickinson both lifted a total of 1,915. However, Sanchez claimed the gold with a body weight 47.6 pounds less than Harmonson.

Burleson edged Dick-

inson, 19-18, for the team championship. Neither East View nor Georgetown scored in a competition where points were only awarded to the top five places in each classification on a 7-5-3-2-1 scoring system.

– coming from various churches in the area. Plans call for each home to house two players. The homes will provide breakfasts on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

In its presentation Sunday, the FCA listed three specific goals for the contest: 1. To honor God. 2. To share the story of the FCA and to help spread its ministry.

3. To highlight the extraordinary talents of the athletes.

Dean’s Blue team coaching staff will include Vista Ridge head coach Rodney Vincent, Round Rock head coach Jeff Cheatham, La Grange head coach Matt Kates, Fredericksburg head coach Lance Moffett, GHS offensive coordinator Chuck Griffin, GHS defensive coordinator David Patterson and Fredericksburg assistant Bill Wilder.

Wilder is a former GHS assistant.

In addition to Sanders and Davies, Marble Falls

head coach Matt Green, Austin LBJ coach Andrew Jackson and Wimberley head coach Doug Warren will work with the Gold team.

Another point was made to the players attending Sunday’s meeting. They will be making history as taking part in the initial FCA All-Star game for the Austin and Hill Country areas. They will be the projects foundation.

Folks, this is a very worthwhile project to support – a bonding process in a society that seems, at times, to become more fragmented every day.

No matter your religious, political or personal philosophy, go to the game, wear a smile, and make these young men welcome in our community. Support them.

One of these dudes might someday make a positive impact in your life. Even in Texas, it can become a small world – and even one with a big heart.

VOLLEYBALL: Hanna Long has resigned her position of head volleyball coach at Southwestern to serve in the same position at Queens University, an NCAA Division II school in Charlotte, N.C. In her 12 seasons at Southwestern, Long left an indelible mark on the volleyball program with three SCAC championships (2005, 2009 and 2015), while earning SCAC Coach of the Year honors five times. Long also was

SU REPORT named the 2009 AVCA South Region Coach of the Year.

She accumulated a 36394 overall record while leading the Pirates. Long is the program’s all-time leader in winning percentage (.794) and SCAC winning percentage (.843).

“Southwestern has been such a wonderful home,” Long said. “I appreciate the opportunity the University and Dr. (Glada) Munt gave me 12 years ago, and I thank everyone in the Southwestern community for their support. Our program’s achievements are a reflection of that support which, I am confident, will continue in the future.”

During her tenure, Long led the Pirates to 10 NCAA postseason appearances, advancing to the NCAA Regional Final twice.

BASEBALL: The Pirates hit three home runs and completed a doubleheader sweep of Austin College this past Saturday in Sherman. The Pirates also claimed the series against the Kangaroos.

Southwestern (9-19, 5-4 SCAC) won Saturday’s opener 9-6 and then rallied for a 10-6 victory in the series finale. The doubleheader sweep ended a two-game skid by the Pirates as they dropped a non-conference 21-4 decision of Texas-Dallas on Tuesday and dropped the series opener with Austin, 8-1, on Friday.

The Pirates will entertain Mary Hardin-Baylor in a non-conference game on Tuesday night and then travel to Shreveport for a three-game weekend SCAC series with Centenary.

In Saturday’s opener, SU scored three runs in the third inning, but Austin College answered with five in the bottom half of the frame. After both teams scored a run in the fifth, the Pirates plated three more in the sixth and two in the eighth to pull away for

first quarter with four unanswered goals. SU scored three goals in the second, but the Poets bettered them by one to send the Pirates into the break trailing 8-3.

A huge third quarter gave Whittier a commanding lead the Pirates couldn’t overcome as the game came to a close.

Matt Amerie led the Pirates with five goals.

SU fell to 6-8 on the season with two matches remaining. They play the University of Dallas at 1 p.m. Saturday and then conclude their season against Colorado College on a neutral field in Irving at noon on Sunday, April 17.

good.

Ethan Luna drove in three runs, while Will Cates hit a solo home run to lead the offensive charge.

In the night cap, the Pirates trailed 4-0 through four innings. However, SU scored runs in each of the final five innings, including six between the eighth and ninth innings, to overtake the ‘Roos. The Pirates’ comeback picked up in the eighth, as the squad scored three runs. Two came on Ben Little’s ground-rule double, while Tyler Bludau also drove in a run with a single.

SU added three more in the ninth inning, including two on wild pitches.

Bludau finished 4-for-5 with a double, a homer and two RBIs. Cates hit his third home run of the season and stole two bases.

SOFTBALL: SU dropped three of four games to No. 3 Texas Lutheran this past weekend, falling to 9-11 in SCAC play and 16-16 on the season. The Pirates were outscored 37-8 in the first three games of the series, falling 10-3, 10-2 and 17-3.

They saved some face in

Saturday’s second game, beating the No. 3 Bulldogs, 7-3.

The Pirates will close out the conference campaign this weekend at Schreiner in Kerrville. They will play a 2 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday and a noon twin bill on Sunday.

TLU, 15-1 in conference play, scored 13 runs in the third inning of Saturday’s opener.

The Bulldogs continued their hot streak at the start of Saturday’s second game, scoring two runs in the first to take an early lead.

SU responded with one run each in the second and third to tie the game 2-2.

TLU again took the lead in the third, but a two-run triple from Stacy Rosengren gave SU the lead once again in the fourth. Backto-back homers from Paige McShan and Taylor Curtis gave SU an insurmountable lead as the Pirates took the final game.

MEN’S LACROSSE: Whittier got off 47 shots and turned them into 20 goals to hand SU a 20-9 loss this past Sunday on the Pirates’ senior day.

Whittier controlled the

WOMEN’S LACROSSE: Southwestern fell behind early and couldn’t recover, falling 18-8 to Baldwin Wallace to close the 2016 season. The Pirates ended their year with an 8-8 record, setting a school single-season win record.

BW’s Kayla Miller opened the game with two goals to put Southwestern behind in the first minute and a half and consistently added goals the rest of the way.

SU trailed 10-3 at the break and got within six with a man-up goal from Allison Schmitt, but Baldwin Wallace was too strong for a complete comeback.

Kate Davis led the Pirates with three goals.

On Friday, SU dropped the opener to its season-ending Ohio trip, falling 18-8 to John Carroll, which scored 14 goals in the first half.

Davis and Courtney Ragland scored three and two goals for SU. WOMEN’S TENNIS: In its first match as a regionally ranked team, SU claimed an 8-1 victory over Schreiner this past Saturday at the Pirates’ Marvin D. Henderson Sr. Tennis Courts.

For the Pirates (12-4), who entered the West Region rankings at No. 11

SU will return to action at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Mary Hardin-Baylor. On Saturday, the Pirates will host a doubleheader Saturday when they play Texas A&M-Texarkana at 9 a.m. and McMurry at 5 p.m.

The Trinity meet was staged with team points.

Vandegrift Girls Dominate 25-5A Golf GHS Senior Kendrick Clark

Jarrell Senior Breanna Wright

Clark, Wright Claim TGCA All-State Nods Georgetown senior Kendrick Clark and Jarrell senior Brianna Wright have been named to the Texas Girls Coaches Association Class 5A and Class 3A AllState Teams, respectively.

Clark, the two-time District 25-5A defensive player of the year, and Wright, the 25-3A Most Valuable Player, had previously been named all-state selections in their conferences by the Texas Association of

Basketball Coaches.

Both organizations announced that Clark (96.32 grade average) and fellow GHS seniors Avery Kelly (95.26), Katie Preston (93.31) and Sandi Harris (92.6) were named to their academic 5A all-state teams. Wright was named a 3A all-state academic selection by both the TABC and the TGCA, while her teammate Maydelin Moya (99.9) also was named to

the TABC team.

Clark was one of five District 25-5A performers named to the 40-player TGCA 5A All-State Team.

Others were senior Rayana Carter of Leander and three members of the state-semifinalist Vista Ridge team – junior Nikki Caradano-Hillary, senior Mikayla Christian and senior Danielle Rainey. − Galen Wellnicki

GISD Notebook: District 25-5A Tennis Georgetown and East View were competing in the District 25-5A Tennis Tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Minzenmayer Tennis Center on the GHS campus.

The JV and freshman district meets will be played on Tuesday, April 12, at East View and GHS. The seeding and brackets for the district

tournament were to be determined at a coaches meeting on Monday night.

Vandegrift was a topheavy favorite to dominate the competition.

The Region IV-5A Tournament is scheduled in San Antonio on April 19-20 with the UIL State Tournament slated for May 16-17 at the Mitchell Tennis Center and the

Omar Smith Instructional Courts on the Texas A&M campus.

GISD Openings As of Friday, the GISD was advertising three open coaching openings on its website – head volleyball coach at East View, head boys’ soccer coach at Georgetown and assistant football coach at GHS.

Vandegrift dominated the recent District 25-5A Girls’ Golf Tournament at Lakecliff Golf Club on Lake Travis, capturing both of the eight-school alignment’s team berths in the Region IV-5A Tournament and seven of the top 10 individual places in the 54-player field.

The Vipers’ No. 1 team won the championship by 62 strokes over the school’s No. 2 unit with a 36-hole total of 303-317 – 620.

Dripping Springs finished third in the 10-team competition, 86 strokes behind the winning team. Georgetown was seventh with a 417-419 – 836 and East View was 10th with a 499-462 – 961.

Vandegrift’s Sophia Di Gesualdo won the individual title by eight strokes with a 72-75 – 147 over teammate Jensen Jalufka.

Vista Ridge’s Alex Ozuna finished fifth overall, but had the best individual round of the tournament with an opening-round 71.

She fell off to 91 on the second day.

The top showing by a GISD golfer was an eighthplace 82-85 – 167 by Georgetown senior Bailey Pehl.

“This was a huge disappointment for her (Pehl) as she was looking forward to competing in the Regional tournament this year,” said Kris Inman, who coaches both the GHS and East View girls.

“The timing of district hurt, being played the

first two days after spring break,” Inman said. “Next year, we will move the dates back. The first year players underestimated how much practice time to put in to be ready.”

Both the Lady Eagles and Patriots were young. In addition to Pehl and juniors Cailey Scully and Emma Dooley, GHS was represented by freshmen. Scully finished 26th with a 201 and Dooley posted 216, tying East View’s top finisher Lauren Ellis, a freshman, for 36th place.

The Patriots played with two freshmen, a sophomore and a senior first-year player. “(Junior) Emily Dublin would have contended for low EV scores, but was sick with a fever both days and did not join the team,” Inman said.

“Had some of the other teams brought their freshmen players there would have been more high scores mixed in with many of the GHS and EVHS freshmen scores,” Inman continued. “Both EVHS and GHS have a number of additional players who did not compete in the district tournament. Although the teams were young and lacking in experience this year, we anticipate significant improvement next year as these players continue to develop as competitive golfers.”

The District 25-5A Boys Tournament was scheduled for Tuesday and Wednes-

day this week at Delaware Springs in Burnet.

The Region IV-5A boys’ tournament will be held April 11-12 at the Golf Club of Texas in San Antonio with the girls’ event slated for the same layout on April 13-14.
