KGYAA now accepting flag & cheer registrations Staff Reports While the cold temperatures and snow on the ground reminds us that we are still in the grips of the winter season, the King George Youth Athletic Association (KGYAA) is currently accepting flag football and cheer registrations in preparation for the decidedly warmer weeks to come. In fact, the KGYAA launched its annual spring registration drive this past weekend at King George Elementary School (KGES), with onsite registration sessions planned for the next several weekends. Their next registration session is scheduled for this Saturday, Jan. 25, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., at KGES (cafeteria), during which the KGYAA will be ac-
cepting registrations for a number of planned endeavors. First among these are the standard co-ed flag football (ages 6-17) and cheerleading (ages 5-17) programs, but as reported last week, the KGYAA also hopes to attract enough female participants to organize another all-girls flag football program (ages 9-14) as well. And then just this past week the KGYAA Board of Directors elected to expand its spring flag football offerings to include a prospective, instructional “Pee Wee” flag football program (ages 4-5). It should be noted that the date the association employs to determine an aspiring participant’s “league-age” for the spring is March 1.
The KGYAA, now entering its 13th overall season, also reports that it will be accepting donations of used football cleats during its registration drive as part of its ongoing “Share a Pair” campaign, whereby donated cleats may be provided to football participants in financial need. The goal is to ensure that all football participants, regardless of circumstance, may enjoy the benefit of proper, athletic footwear. The KGYAA recommends that those interested in registering for its spring programs, and/or those who wish to provide their used football cleats for others to enjoy, should visit them on Facebook, visit their official website at www.kgyaa.org, or contact them directly at info@kgyaa.org.

Spring memories! C.J. Smith of the D4 Leathernecks showcased his running skills by scoring on a big play.
Eagles remain undefeated season last year,” said Hunter. Although the game was close throughout, the Eagles led most of the way after ending the first quarter with the score knotted 13 to 13. D.J. Ashlock led the Trojans with 24 points, followed by Sterling Hammond with 20 points. The W&L Eagles are now 4 and 0 in district play after also defeating Colonial Beach 61 to 56 in overtime earlier in the week. Led by Keane Foster and Montie Gould, the Drifters had pulled ahead of the Eagles in the third quarter, but the game was tied 56 all, at the end of regulation. The Eagles held Colonial Beach scoreless in overtime, and W&L’s Treshaun Brown led the way, scoring seven of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, for a final 61 to 56 victory. In addition to Brown’s scoring, Milan Bullock had 15 points, and
Richard Leggitt The Washington & Lee Eagles rolled to their eighth win Friday, defeating the Essex Trojans 72 to 68 in a hard-fought boys basketball game on the Trojans’ home court in Tappahannock. It was the fourth straight Northern Neck District victory for Coach George Hunter’s Eagles who were led by Treshaun Brown, Terrin Dickerson and newcomer Marik Roy. “Treshaun did his thing once again, leading the way with 28 points, four assists and three steals,” said Hunter. “Treshaun made a three-quarters’ court shot at the buzzer to end the half 39 to 29.” “Terran Dickerson scored 13 points, and Marik Roy made shots in very big moments in his first game of the year. Roy finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds to make his presence felt in his first action since mid-
Davon Hamilton had 11 points for the Eagles. Foster had 14 for the Drifters, and Gould had 22 points. “Treshaun gave the Drifters’ defense fits trying to keep up with him, and it seems everytime we needed a big shot, everyone knew who would take it, but they still couldn’t stop it,” Hunter declared. “That kid has ice water running through his veins, loves the big moment and always keeps a cool head.” “Milan missed practice all week with the flu. He had to come out numerous times and even lay down in the locker room,” said Hunter. “His 15 points and 18 rebounds isn’t a bad night for a guy with the flu.” “I love all my kids, but Milan is definitely one of the most enjoyable kids I’ve ever been around. He is a 4.2 GPA student; always ‘Yes, sir,’ or ‘ No, sir,’ and gives his all for everyone,” Hunter said.
