On a blustery spring day, Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett gathered in the bandstands on Main Street with a group of students, Salvation Army personnel and parents to read a proclamation honoring the children and their activities. Bennett’s honorary reading Monday at noon helped kick off National Boys and Girls Clubs Week, spanning from Sunday, March 21, until Saturday, March 28. Lexington Mayor John Walser also read a proclamation Monday night. The Thomasville ‘We do have a lot and Lexington Boys Girls Clubs will of positive things and continue festivities, including a proclamation happen.

Essentially, Boys and Girls Clubs provide after school and summer day camp care for children ages 6 to 18 years from low-income families. The Thomasville and Lexington units — which serve about 55 to 60 members daily — have limited the age at 14 due to space. On a daily basis the clubs help the kids with homework and also focus on various life lessons such as health, nutrition, alcohol and drug aware-

resident Barack Obama came a step closer to seeing his health care reform bill come to fruition following a vote from the House of Representatives late Sunday night. By a 219-212 vote, the House passed the Senate health care bill, following almost a year full of passionate debates from both sides of the aisle. Democrats lobbied that health care reform was essential as insurance premiums continue to rise, while Republicans argued the bill contained too many special deals and will only increase the nation’s expanding deficit. Democrats needed 216 votes to pass the bill. President Obama is scheduled to sign the bill today, where it will then go back to the Senate for final approval. The plan is predicted to cost $940 billion over the next 10 years, but will provide health insur-

The rivalry may not be as contentious as Duke versus North Carolina, but whenever Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office and Lexington Police Department get together on the basketball court, sparks have been known to fly. For the past decade, the two law enforcement agencies have sponsored an annual hardcourt showdown where the proceeds benefit one their own who is battling cancer. This year, however, the rivals

Robert Miller said. “This is just a way to help our fellow officers in need. If we can make them smile for that night then we’ve done what we came to do. We want them to know somebody cares about them. This has been good every year.”

HEALTH
Overuse of antibiotics a boon for ‘supergerms’ LIFELONG HEALTH
DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist
“Superbugs� are not just for science fiction anymore. In American communities, large and small, antibiotic-resistant bacteria are ravaging hospitals and killing thousands of patients every year. These “supergerms� are gradually replacing the typical antibiotic-sensitive bacteria in the hospital, making it more likely that this problem will become increasingly prevalent. Sadly, the American health care system is largely responsible for this looming epidemic. Between physicians and pharmaceutical compa-
nies, new antibiotics are constantly incorporated into patient therapy. Because these more powerful and potent medications can attack a wider array of bacteria, there is a widespread destruction of sensitive organisms. But looming in the background are “superbugs,� which are resistant to the onslaught of new therapy. These tiny germs multiply in huge numbers, filling the void left by eradication of traditional hospital-based bacteria, and they ultimately become ever more sophisticated and difficult to kill. The problem with the overuse of newer, more sophisticated antibiotics is not limited to treatment of hospitalized patients; rather it starts in the primary-care clinic with the treatment of minor bacterial or viral illnesses. Many physicians prescribe antibiotics for viral infections, and most frequently, they prefer the newest, most expensive therapy. These days, physicians prescribe Levaquin or
Zithromycin (Z Pack) for a simple viral infection, bacterial sinusitis or bronchitis. Not only are these drugs less effective in the treatment of minor bacterial infections, but also their use leads to the greater prevalence of resistant bacteria that can lead to lifethreatening infections. A similar situation applies to the treatment of urinary tract infections, where the tried and true medications should be used before the newer and more powerful antibiotics. In general, newer therapies should be kept in reserve for the less frequent infections that have become resistant to the older drugs. Even worse than inappropriate care by physicians, patients are often responsible for the overuse of antibiotics. During the winter months, not a day goes by without a patient requesting an antibiotic for a cough, runny nose or sore throat. Physicians who try to convince their patients that antibiotics are not needed are
almost always met with a great deal of skepticism. In many cases, skepticism turns to outright aggression and a lengthy argument follows. It’s easy to see why most physicians take the path of least resistance and give in to their patients’ request -- it is just not worth the trouble. And if something untoward happens (always a possibility in the uncertain world of medicine and illness), there is the threat of litigation. If you become sick, try to determine if your illness is the result of a virus or bacteria. Only when a proven bacterial infection exists should an antibiotic be prescribed. Viruses are the most common causes of upper respiratory infections. Bacterial (usually strep) infections of the throat are quite rare -- more common in children -- and present with a high fever, severe sore throat, white spots at the back of the throat and enlarged painful nodes in the neck. Antibiotics should never be used for
someone who has a runny nose or cough without a significant fever. A secondary bacterial infection should be suspected if the runny nose persists for a prolonged period of time and mucus drainage becomes thick and yellow green in color. Bronchitis is frequently viral, but in the case of a bacterial infection, the cough produces thick yellow or green sputum that is often blood tinged. This is usually accompanied by a temperature greater than 101 degrees. In viral infections, the temperature is lower and the cough produces only small amounts of clear sputum. Curbing the overuse of antibiotics is the first step in addressing the epidemic of “supergerms� in our hospitals and communities. But should you find yourself in a hospital for a prolonged period of time, risk of exposure to dangerous bacteria is high. Most life-threatening bacterial infections are acquired
inside the hospital. Try to shorten your stay whenever possible. We must all do our part to end the onslaught of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Physicians must reserve the most powerful antibiotics for when they are truly needed. And patients must better understand the dangers of prescribing antibiotics without just cause. In the case of the “superbug,� the key to prevention is in moderation. We must save our newer, more potent therapies lest they, too, become obsolete.

LMH vascular laboratory earns re-accreditation TIMES STAFF REPORT
Lexington Memorial Hospital’s noninvasive vascular laboratory, vascular ultrasound has attained reaccreditation for its commitment to providing a high level of patient care and quality testing for the diagnosis of vascular disease. The hospital’s vascular laboratory has maintained accreditation status for over 12 years as issued by the Intersocietal Commission for Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL). Certificates of Accreditation were issued in the areas of extracranial cerebrovascular testing, peripheral venous testing and peripheral arterial testing. These tests are used to diagnose cardiovascular disease, disorders of the heart and blood vessels, which is the leading cause of death in
the United States. William W. Woodruff, III, MD, RVT, Medical Director of Radiology, describes Lexington Memorial’s noninvasive vascular lab as superb. “The vascular laboratory operates with outstanding equipment and welltrained, dedicated personnel providing these services,� he said. “We see this reaccreditation as affirmation of our continued commitment to provide the best possible noninvasive vascular imaging for our patients.� In addition to Dr. Woodruff, another radiologist, Mark Lukens, M.D., RVT, holds credentials as a registered vascular technologist. Tommy Everhart, the technologist director of the LMH noninvasive laboratory, also holds the RVT certification. Johnny Veal, Vice President, Patient Care Services, echoed Woodruff ’s
High Point Orthopaedic opens after hours clinic TIMES STAFF REPORT
High Point Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine recently opened a clinic for walk-in patients open 1:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Fracture, Sprain and Sports Clinic is located at 611 Lindsay St. in Suite 100. Certified Physician Assistant Eric Phillips will treat patients of all ages suffering from sprains and strains, closed fractures and possible fractures, minor dislocations, and sports related inju-
ries. Cast or wound dressing problems will also be cared for at the new after hours clinic. The board-certified orthopaedic surgeons supervising the clinic include Mark J. Warburton, MD, Edward B. Weller, MD, Michael J. Lucas, MD, Kenneth C. Lennon, MD Christopher Brumfield, MD, Christopher J. Bashore, MD, and Slade C. Moore, MD. Call 802-BONE (2663) for more information, or to make an appointment at the orthopaedic after hours clinic.
comments. “The reaccreditation of the noninvasive vascular laboratory brings great pride to the entire Lexington Memorial team and the community at large,� he said. “It is representative of Lexington Memorial’s commitment to be a provider of exceptional patient services in all areas.� One American dies every 32 seconds of cardiovascular disease. Each year, 2 million people in the United States alone develop deep vein thrombosis – blood clots in the veins. This affliction becomes life threatening for 500,000 of those people when the blood clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs. Early detection of these life-threatening vascular diseases is possible through the use of noninvasive vascular testing techniques performed
within vascular laboratories such as the one at Lexington Memorial. Lexington Memorial’s noninvasive vascular laboratory is one of a growing number of vascular laboratories in the Unites States, Canada and Puerto Rico to meet or exceed the ICAVL standards for noninvasive testing. During the accreditation process, every aspect of the laboratory’s daily operation and impact on the quality of health care provided to patients is assessed and reviewed. While completing the application, laboratories are required to identify and correct potential problems, revising protocols and validating quality assurance programs. Participation in the accreditation process demonstrates the laboratory’s attention to a high level of patient care and quality testing.

It’s a safe place for the kids to go.� But like most non-profits, Boys and Girls Clubs have hit upon hard times in the shaky economy. The United Way has cut the clubs’ funding by 9 percent, and other grant money has been cut as well. “It’s very important that the Boys and Girls Clubs thrive in our county,� Bannister said. “We desperately need the community’s help.� Besides monetary donations, Bannister said other donations — such as cleaning supplies, toilet paper, art supplies and school supplies — help the clubs reduce costs and save money. Despite the difficulties, Bannister said he still sees the good shine through. “We do have a lot of pos-

itive things happen,� he said. “Lives are changed on a daily basis in our kids, and that’s a tremendous thing.� Parents and children alike have stressed the importance that the clubs have in their lives. Stacie Lowery — whose daughter, Tayasia Billie, participates in the Thomasville club — says that the program helps keep her daughter off the streets. “It keeps her from getting into everything and anything,� Lowery said. “She’s learned a lot since she’s been with the Boys and Girls Clubs.� Bannister says that creating that safe, consistent haven for the students numbers as one of the clubs’ priorities, especially in the Internet and gang atmosphere of today’s society. And since YMCA programs are usually full, parents have little choice. “There are so many things out there in the world, in the community,� Bannister said. “If Boys and Girls Clubs weren’t here, there would be 50 to 60 children that wouldn’t have anywhere to go after school.� The clubs also look to provide guidance for the
students in terms of life skills — career development, health and fitness, and homework help. “It’s helping them make those wise choices and helping them succeed and becoming a positive place for kids,� Bannister said. “Helping them be the greatest they can be and hopefully moving their dreams into reality.� Infiniti Billy, a member of the Thomasville Boys and Girls Clubs, says she likes the activities the clubs provide. “I think it helps me,� she said. “I have more confidence in myself now because I’m in the Boys and Girls Clubs.� That confidence Billy has gained through the clubs forms the foundation of the other skills the program seeks to instill, such as developing goals for the future, Bannister says. “Some of these children think that college is not attainable, but it is,� he said. “If we can help them open the doors and move them forward, that’s a very positive thing.�
Rep. Howard Coble (RNC) issued a statement opposing the bill, feeling that while health care does need improvement, the measure “is a complete overhaul of the system.� Coble voted against the bill, saying “this a government takeover of our health care system.� “Make no mistake about it,� Coble said. “This bill will put the government in control of our health care. It is a train wreck waiting to occur and considering our current economic morass, we need no train wrecks.� Once the health care bill goes into effect, Americans will be required to purchase some sort of insurance or face a fine, although there will be exemptions for lowincome people. Medicaid will be expanded to cover people with incomes up to 133 percent of poverty level and the federal government would pay 100 percent of the coverage costs for newly eligible individuals until 2016. Illegal immigrants will not be eligible. In the near future, insurers will not be al-
lowed to place lifetime dollar limits on policies, cancel policies because a person gets sick or deny coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. Parents may continue covering their children until they are 26. A new high-risk pool will offer coverage until 2014 for uninsured people with a medical condition. For businesses with 25 employees or less, a new tax credit will be available that could cover up to 35 percent of premiums. Changes also will be in effect for businesses with 50 employees or more.

BATTLE From page 1 “Battle of the Badge� will be held at North Davidson High School in Welcome and will start at 6:30 p.m. with a game between TPD and DOC. The nightcap will feature DCSO and LPD merging together to take on HPPD. Admission is only a donation, and all proceeds from concession stands will go towards helping the Bates and Athay families pay for medical expenses as they continue their fight against cancer. “I don’t think we can be beat,� said Miller of the new merger. “They have good points and we have good points, so I think we’ll be the wrecking crew. We can’t let [HPPD] ride up here to Davidson County and beat us. “TPD has always been there to help. Two games will bring double the money,
QUESTIONS From page 1 “I am pleased that the Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that revenue sources and savings identified in the legislation will more than cover the cost of providing this additional coverage and, in fact, will contribute approximately $140 billion to reduce the deficit over the next 10 years and approximately $1.2 trillion more to reduce the deficit over the following 10 years,� Watt said. Another aspect of care expansion rests in a $250 rebate for those individuals who fall into the Medicare Part D drug benefit coverage gap. The doughnut hole, as that gap is referred to, will fully close by 2020, when seniors will still be responsible for 25 percent of their medications cost until Medicare’s catastrophic coverage kicks in. The next step for the bill is for President Barrack Obama to sign it. Then the Senate must approve changes to the bill, which originated in the Senate.

Bentonville and the lessons of history VIEWPOINT
D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist “It was the largest Civil War battle fought in North Carolina and the last major Confederate attack on Union forces, but its importance is still under-recognized,” Civil War expert Fred Kiger told a group sponsored by the UNC-Chapel Hill Alumni Association visiting the Bentonville Battlefield last week. Along with tens of thousands of other visitors, the Chapel Hill group watched several thousand “re-enactors” in the uniforms of Federal and Confederate soldiers dramatically recreating a portion of the battle. If you missed this amazing production, you will get another chance in March 2015 on the occasion of the battle’s 150th anniversary. In the meantime, the battlefield, a State Historic Site, with excellent interpretive exhibits, is one of the best ways to confront our Civil War heritage. Who, you may be asking, cares about such old history? Lots of people. Ask folks at North Carolina’s Department of Public Instruction what happened when word got out that they were considering focusing 11th grade history on events beginning in 1877. They learned that many North Carolinians think that study of the Civil War era is critical to an understanding our historic heritage. Speaking to a group of Chapel Hill students recently, the former British ambassador to the United States, Sir Christopher Meyer, said a familiarity with the historic experiences of Great Britain in Iraq and Afghanistan might have helped the leaders of his country and the United States keep from making the same mistakes again. What then are the lessons to be gained from a study of history? To a certain extent, it depends on who writes the history. For instance, the Texas Board of Education has been in the news recently for its proposals to revise the social studies curriculum to put conservative ideas,
leaders, and activities more positively and completely. When liberals write history, their values have influence, too. The way they write history suggests the lessons they want us to learn from it. The narratives of history and its lessons also change to reflect the values and conditions of the times in which they are written. We will be testing this assertion during the next five years as we celebrate — no, that’s the wrong word, we should say, commemorate — the sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) of the Civil War. I remember the centennial of that war back in the early 1960s. Celebration was a big part of the remembrance. Robert Cook, author of “Troubled Commemoration: The American Civil War Centennial, 1961-1965” says that it “celebrated the common courage of northern and southern whites and derided Reconstruction as an ill-conceived attempt to impose racial equality on gallant ex-Confederates” while it “downplayed” events like “emancipation and Lincoln’s use of African American troops, which dominated the marginalized black folk memory of the Civil War.” Cook also says that some southerners “sensed they could use the centennial to foster a distinctive Confederate memory that would bolster resistance to integration.” So, a proper subject for today’s historians is how we commemorated the Civil War 50 years ago at the same time the heated struggle for Civil Rights was dividing the nation again. All these things make me wonder how the lessons of Civil War history will be different for us this time around. North Carolina already has a Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee. Its mission is to develop “activities to commemorate, in an appropriate and historically accurate manner, the richness, diversity, and significance of the state’s participation in and contributions to the American Civil War … and to transform the interpretation of the events for a new generation.” Observing how that “transformation” of our interpretation of Civil War history takes place might turn out to be even more interesting than last week’s activities at the Bentonville Battlefield. UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch returns to the air on Friday, April 2 at 9:30 p.m. with a special conversation with Andrew Young author of “The Politician.”

To Democrats, it’s Monopoly money VIEWPOINT
MONA CHAREN Syndicated Columnist It is America’s misfortune that at a moment in history that required sober, grownup stewardship and a realistic appraisal of our fiscal trajectory, we elected (by large margins) the party of supplicants and whiners. How appropriate that one of the selling points of Obamacare was the guarantee that children up to the age of 26 can remain on their parents’ insurance plans — because the Democrats’ whole program is about extending adolescence. Like teenagers, the Democrats are weak on long-term consequences, saving for the future, and planning for (entirely foreseeable) contingencies. They excel at demanding their allowance, but not so much at earning it. They are the “me” party. Health care, pronounced Nancy Pelosi, is a “right” to be financed by others, not a privilege. A serious party would grapple with our mounting unfunded obligations. Each year the trustees of the Medicare and Social Security programs issue a report analyzing the costs of those programs. Last year’s report put the total unfunded liability of the two programs at $107 trillion in 2009 dollars. The two programs now consume about 14 percent of tax receipts. By 2030, even without the new Obamacare entitlement, they will chew up half of all federal outlays. By 2060, they would swallow 75 percent. They are, to
use the favorite Washington expression, “unsustainable.” Particularly at a time when the battered economy is taking its first tentative steps toward recovery, a responsible government would seek to reduce debt, ease the burdens on businesses, and refrain from introducing more instability and unpredictable new burdens on taxpayers. Instead, the Democrats have charged ahead with their social/democratic vision of a Europeanized America. The past several months have removed all doubt that the Democrats are willing to risk national bankruptcy in pursuit of their great white whale — nationalized health care. They may yet compound the error by adding cap and trade to the ledger. Consider the brief nod to fiscal responsibility they offered in February. Excoriating “a decade of profligacy,” President Obama signed “Paygo” — a measure to require that new spending be balanced by cuts or tax increases so as not to increase the deficit. “It’s easy to get up in front of the cameras and rant against exploding deficits,” declared the president. “What’s hard is actually getting deficits under control. But that’s what we must do.” Or not. Paygo exempted some 50 federal programs, including (you guessed it) Social Security, the Medicare “doc fix,” and anything the leadership chose to label “emergency” spending. When the Democrats appropriated $10 billion for extension of unemployment insurance and COBRA insurance plans without any offsetting cuts in other areas or tax increases, Sen. Jim Bunning protested and became a pinata for his trouble. Bunning unmasked the truth: To the Democrats, it’s all Monopoly money. That’s why they can rack up deficits in the trillions without batting an eye. And they have the gall to claim that passing this 2,700-
page monstrosity proves that “they can govern.” This is a clarifying moment. By driving their agenda so relentlessly and to such extremes, the Democrats have redrawn the political map. No longer will it easily be said that there is no relevant distinction between the parties. No longer will conservatives easily disdain the Republican Party. Yes, under President Bush, the U.S. accumulated $3.3 trillion in deficits. But based purely on his policies in his first year, Obama is projected to run deficits of $7.6 trillion over eight years — and that may be a low-ball estimate. Republicans now have a clear message to convey to voters: We will undo the damage. It seems likely now that all of the energy represented by the Tea Party movement will flow into Republican, not third-party channels. The Republicans acquitted themselves well throughout this long struggle. Articulate, well-prepared members like Rep. Paul Ryan, Sen. Tom Coburn, Rep. Mike Pence, Sen. Lamar Alexander, Sen. John Kyl, and others made the case for sensible, market-oriented reform of the health care system and against the reckless, corrupt, heavy-handed, bankrupting, choice-limiting scheme of the majority party. When President Obama tilted his chin toward the sky at his inauguration and declared that “change is coming to America,” this is what he had in mind — an irreversible turn toward a European welfare state and away from the free-market model. The turn has begun. The voters will decide whether it is irreversible.

was offered.” My third point; I never stated that I knew anything, as Mr. Smith wrote, regarding “Hege or his staff tampered with crime stats.” I simply posed the question. Might I also add that my vehicle was, in fact, stolen from a home in Davidson County while Mr. Hege was serving as sheriff, so that argument does not hold water. In closing, I can’t help but

see the irony in the fact that Mr. Smith has chosen to compare a very important elected law enforcement position to that of a NASCAR racer — a sports entertainer.

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Opposing pitchers better start taking notice when No. 20 for East Davidson steps into the batters box late in a game. For the second consecutive outing, Spencer Embler ripped a game-winning hit, slapping an RBI single to left that lifted the Lady Golden Eagles to a thrilling 4-3 win over Randleman on Monday. This one was not nearly as dramatic as her walk-off grand slam Friday against Wheatmore, but was equally as effective. The Randleman coach can be partially to blame for her team’s loss, sending in a relief pitcher to start the seventh while holding a 3-2 lead. But East still had to put the ball in play and that is exactly what they did. Jessica Esquivel singled to left, then Paige Byrd and Natalie Naturile beat out bunts to load the bases with no
outs. The Tigers brought starter Taylor Hussey back in, but she immediately plunked Morgan Gallimore to bring home a run. In stepped Embler, who sizzled a foul ball down the third base line on the first pitch. The next time she made contact, it was a screamer to left that drove in the game-winner. “She has really been hot lately,” said East coach Greg Fowler. “She has been through it before and knows what it takes. But Jess did a great job to start the rally and there were two great bunts back-to-back that got us in that position.” East was down 3-0 heading to the home half of the fifth, and had put runners in scoring position three times in the first four innings but never could bring them in. Hussey always found a way to work out of jams, but the Golden Eagles would put a two-spot on the board in the fifth. Two outs started the inning, then a

FOOD CITY 500
Johnson breaks through at Bristol BY REID SPENCER NASCARMedia.com BRISTOL, Tenn. — In a milestone race Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway, Jimmie Johnson — the last driver third-place finisher Kurt Busch wanted to see win the race — took the checkered flag for the 50th time in his NASCAR Sprint Cup career in the Food City 500. Taking four tires on his final pit stop on Lap 484 of 500, and fortuitously drawing the outside lane for a restart on Lap 491, Johnson surged past four cars that had taken only right-side tires and passed runner-up Tony Stewart for the lead on Lap 494. Busch, who had led 278 laps and restarted fifth after a four-tire call, was bottled up in the inside lane behind Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards and watched in frustration as Johnson worked past fourth-place finisher Greg Biffle and Stewart for the lead. “We did it, boys—finally,” Johnson exclaimed

The win was the first at the .533-mile high-banked short track for the fourtime defending Cup champion and his third in five races this season. With 50 Cup victories, Johnson is
tied Junior Johnson and Ned Jarrett for 10th on the all-time list. “Man, we have worked so hard for this,” Johnson said in victory lane. “I thought we were in trouble there, but those four tires were every-
thing, and I was in the outside lane (for the restart), which was helpful. About time, man. I’m so proud of this team. I am so proud of us setting a mark and going at it and accomplishing what we wanted to.
“We’ve been off here over the years. We focused on what we needed to do and got it done today.” Johnson also fired a shot across the bow of fellow competitors who might think the No. 48 Chevrolet team is peaking early. “Well, we have a lot of racing left — there is no doubt about it,” he said. “But when we’re winning at tracks we aren’t supposed to, the boys better look out — even that No. 2 car (Busch) that doesn’t want the No. 48 to win.” Johnson’s pointed reference was to Busch’s “Anybody but the 48” campaign. “I’d rather lose to any of the 41 cars out there than this 48 car,” Busch said. “I thought we had them beat. I gave it my heart today, but to come up short … it’s a shame we didn’t bring it home for a victory. “I felt like we had the car to beat early on in the race, especially on

Durham Herald Sun JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Duke senior Jon Scheyer said his shot simply left him, but he thinks he knows where it went. “It’s in Houston,” Scheyer said. “I’ll find it in Durham, and it will come with me to Houston.” Scheyer couldn’t find the range and teammate Kyle Singler couldn’t hit from long range, but for this Duke team, such supposed shortcomings sometimes matter little. The Blue Devils’ defense tied Cal in knots, holding the Bears to their lowest output in more than two years to earn a Sweet 16 spot in Houston with Sunday’s 68-53 victory at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
Nolan Smith scored 20 points, big man Brian Zoubek scored 14 and grabbed 13 rebounds, and everybody put forth a devastating defensive front. “It’s an excellent defensive team that hopefully can be a little bit better offensively as we go forward,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “The discipline that we had defensively was the difference in the ballgame.” The Blue Devils (31-5), the top seed in the South Region, will now be united with its fellow regional survivors, set to take on No. 4 seed Purdue on Friday at approximately 10 p.m. It will mark Duke’s 11th Sweet 16 appearance in the last 13 seasons. Duke came in concerned about the 3-point shooting acumen of Cal (24-11)

Gallimore brought one in with a bloop single, then Embler scorched a ball to left to bring in the other and make it a 3-2 contest. “We didn’t give up,” Fowler said. “We were able to break through the fifth inning and that got us back in the game. “I am proud of the fact that they do not quit. As long as we continue to do that good things are going to happen.” Embler faced just one over the minimum in the final two innings to keep the score close.

SPORTS DUKE From page 7 but came out right away and virtually took that option away. The Bears, led by Duke transfer Jamal Boykins’ 13 points and 11 rebounds, hit just three 3s and attempted just 12 after hitting 8 of 15 in a first-round victory over Louisville. “We did a great job of just staying connected to them,” Scheyer said. “Watching tape, we felt like they hit a lot of the 3-pointers just on open looks, whether it be in transition or just people losing them. I thought we did a good job of just staying connected. “We got around the screens and stayed next to their hip, and in transition, we didn’t just go back into the lane. We fanned out and stayed with them. I think we did that better than other teams playing them.” Scheyer hit just 1 of 11 shots and Singler hit just 1 of 6 from 3-point range as the team went 3-for-17 from behind the arc, yet Duke trailed just once, just by one point. Smith and Singler (17 points) made half of their field goals overall, and Zoubek didn’t miss. He hit all six of his field goals, including a couple of succession that shortcircuited Cal’s last, best chance to get back into the game. Duke led 44-29 when Smith scored on a pullup jumper early in the second half, but the Bears threatened with eight straight points, including back-to-back 3s from Jerome Randle (12 points) and Theo Robinson (10) to get within 44-37. Zoubek, however, ended an 0-for-7 drought for Duke with a tough tip-in of a Smith miss and then with a layup to start the Devils on an eight-point outburst of their own to make it 52-37. Cal never got within single digits again. “That nice little one where I hit it in with one hand, that gives you a lot of confidence when stuff like that is going in,” Zoubek said. “I was just feeling really comfortable out there. Our motion was working pretty really well, and I got some easy shots and hit the offensive boards for a couple.” Smith was the trendsetter on both ends of the court early, but everyone contributed when Duke initially built a doubledigit lead. Already up 20-17, the Devils took off on a 15-3 spurt, a run that featured six scoring plays from six different Blue Devils, including Lance Thomas (nine rebounds) and Miles Plumlee (six points). “The three of us, we get the most attention,” Singler said of himself, Smith and Scheyer, “but when it comes down to it, Zoobs, Lance and our guys coming off the bench have won games for us. “They play just as important role as any of us three. They’re a big part.” Scheyer clearly didn’t play his normal role. He became the 10th player in school history to reach 2,000 points, but with his lowest scoring output of the season, he didn’t even notice. Even so, Scheyer made a signature play on defense. After Zoubek’s back-to-back baskets opened it back up midway through the second
half, Scheyer swiped an inbounds pass and fed Smith for what turned into a four-point possession when Singler scored off a missed free throw for a 52-37 edge. “Even though I didn’t shoot the ball well, I’m really happy about the win,” Scheyer said. “I want to be there and play better next game, but I’m just happy that we have a next game. “I’m just glad there’s another day.”
