SAGER SAYS

DEPTH AND DRAMA SHOWCASED AS GIRLS PLAYOFFS BEGIN

BY CRAIG SAGER II | CSAGER@SCOREATL.COM

eorgia’s brand of basketball is well-known nationally as super stars continue to grow G out of the Peach State. However, behind the

individual talent that captures recruiters and media attention is an annual playoff race that showcases the depth and high level of competition present across the state.

The playoffs opened Tuesday with second-seeded South Atlanta (27-2) hungry to get back on track after dropping their first game of the season in the Region 4-AAA championship, but Washington County (23-6) had plans of its own to continue dancing and did so after going on the road to upset the Hornets 57-54.

The Golden Hawks controlled the game from the opening tip and never trailed.

Nia Johnson led the way for WACO with 19 points. Entering halftime, the Hornets trailed 36-21.Washington County continued to switch

up its defenses and forced South Atlanta to try and beat them playing one on one. The Hornets had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds. The Golden Hawks trapped the ball handler and a desperation heave was thrown to the rim but caromed off into a Washington County player’s hands as the buzzer sounded to end the game. Daknequa White pitched in 17 points for Washington County while freshman Nijeria Jordan added 12 points, seven above her season average of five per game.

COUNTY SHOWDOWNS…

We saw Gwinnett County square off in the first round of the Class AAAAAA football playoffs and the same is the case in this year’s basketball brackets. No. 1 seed Norcross (254) held off a game No. 4 Shiloh (14-15) 50-38

SANDY’S SPIEL

NL EAST GETS BACK TO WORK FOR 2015 SEASON

BY KYLE SANDY | KSANDY@SCOREATL.COM

eorgia might have just had another scare G with potential snow and ice storms, but spring is in our midst and with that Spring

Training is right around the corner. Pitchers and Catchers are set to report by the end of this week, while many players have already come to camp early to break off the rust and start getting their bodies back in game shape. Each spring teams enter training camp with optimism and aspirations of winning the World Series. I will be heading down to Florida to check out some Spring Training action for the first time this year.

I will be attending Bradenton (Pirates) and Port St. Lucie (Mets), two teams that are primed to make the post season. With that being said, let’s take an early look at the National League East and how I think things will stack up this season.

WASHINGTON NATIONALS ...

Last year’s porous division now looks to be one of the toughest, with three of the projected top teams all having realistic sights on the playoffs. The Nationals are seemingly the new trendy pick and are 5:1 favorites to win the World Series this year after making moves that brought in Max Scherzer and Yunel Escobar.

Washington has a rotation loaded with power arms, but its bullpen will need retooling. Tyler Clippard was shipped off for Escobar and Rafael Soriano is currently a free agent. Drew Storen will likely return as the closer, a full time job he had back in 2011 when he saved 43 games. While they may be the most talented team in the division, I doubt they will completely run away with it.

on Tuesday to advance to the Sweet 16. Like many of this week’s games, the score did not necessarily tell the story. Norcross led by just four points heading into the final frame, but outscored the visiting Generals 19 to 11 to put the game away. Allison Johnson led the Lady Blue Devils with 16 points while Racquel Cranston pitched in 13 to lead the Generals.

No. 2 seed Archer led 42-27 at half and saw five players hit double-figures in its 73-40 cross-county victory over No. 3 seed Duluth.

Amber Skidgel paced Archer with 17 points and point guard Madison Newby finished with 15 points and nine assists while reaching a career milestone with her 1,500th point. The Tigers also got double-digit scoring from Linsey Marchese (14), Tatiana Wayne (12) and Autumn Newby (12) KEEP DANCING…

No. 1 seed Westlake trailed fourth-seeded Hillgrove 41-40 entering the fourth quarter but pulled out a 60-49 victory to avoid the upset. Westlake hounded Hillgrove into over 20 turnovers with its pressure defense. Anriel Howard led the charge for the Lions scoring a game-high 24 points. Ja’lyn Reese scored 19 and Tene Thompson added 12 in the loss for Hillgrove. Westlake advances to round two in Class AAAAAA and awaits the winner of Woodstock-West Forsyth.

In Class AAAAA, No. 4-seeded Miller

NEW YORK METS ...

The Mets have the best young top three pitching trio in the MLB with Matt HarveyJacob deGrom-Zack Wheeler. Their pitching staff will be one of the strongest in the league, but questions loom on whether David Wright can ever return to the player he once was.

The fences have been moved in yet again and should benefit Curtis Granderson and Lucas Duda who emerged as the Mets’ number one long ball threat last year. If Wright, Granderson, and Michael Cuddyer can produce close to what their career averages are, then the Mets should be battling for the division and wild card all season long.

MIAMI MARLINS ...

As they seemingly do every offseason, the Marlins have shaken their roster up like a snow globe. Mat Latos and Dan Haren give the Marlins some much needed veteran leadership atop of their young rotation that hopes to get young ace Jose Fernandez back sooner rather than later from Tommy John surgery. The addition of Dee Gordon who had a career year last season will give them speed to burn. Veteran Martin Prado was brought in to do what he always does—hit. Michael Morse should shore up first base if he can find a way to stay healthy. Miami has had strong teams on paper

Grove trailed 29-23 at the half and faced a 49-41 deficit entering the fourth quarter but outscored No. 1 seed Hiram 15-4 in the fourth quarter to runaway with a 56-53 opening round road victory. Junior Imani Richardson scored 13 of her game-high 20 points after halftime and her junior teammates Chrystal Ezechukwu (16) and Takeshia Williams (14) both finished in double-figures.

No. 1 seed Salem trailed visiting River Ridge 6-4 at the end of the first quarter before gaining control and it took a 27-point performance from Ayanna Mitchell to hold off the fourth-seeded Knights 49-40.

No. 2 seeded Cross Creek also had to rally back to avoid elimination in the first round. The Razorbacks trailed third-seed Columbus by seven points entering the fourth but pulled off a 68-67 victory as Alana Davis hit a layup as time expired.

Even Class AA powerhouse Wesleyan’s 64-38 win over Bowdon was misleading. The Wolves needed four first-half 3-pointers from sophomore Jameson Kavel to cling to a 20-18 lead. It wasn’t until the second half that Nikki McDonald got going and helped Wesleyan pull away. As this first round showed us, we should expect a wild next two weeks as the girls brackets narrows down 102 teams to just seven state champs.

in the past, but they have never been able to create that type of success on the field. Now in his third year as manager, Mike Redmond will try to sneak the fish back into the postseason where they have made magic happen.

ATLANTA BRAVES ...

No team in the MLB has torn down the walls as much as new GM John Hart has after the Braves decided to clean house. Atlanta has tried to replenish its beleaguered farm system and has done a decent job so far. Craig Kimbrel has been whispered to be the next one on the move. It should be a long painful season as ownership eyes 2017; the good thing for Atlanta is that Philadelphia is in the same division.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ...

No franchise has been more mismanaged in the past five years than this one. A blind loyalty to aging stars who no longer produce has crippled the franchise along with a weak farm system. Year-in and year-out, Ruben Amaro has had a chance to flip Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels for young players, but he has sat on his assets and continues to depreciate their value.

Unlike the Braves, there is no light at the end of this tunnel just yet.

The field is wide open in the girls bracket.

Brunswick (27-0) is a favorite, but they are in a loaded bracket which features Sequoyah (253), Stephenson (24-5), and Grovetown (22-5).

Greenbrier (25-3) and Mays (24-2) should meet in the Elite Eight. The lower right quadrant seems like the weakest out of the four as No. 1 Hiram has already been disposed of by Miller Grove (15-11).

GHSA STATE TOURNAMENT

STATE PLAYOFFS ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER

BY KYLE SANDY | KSANDY@SCOREATL.COM

M

ove over March Madness, the GHSA State Basketball Tournament has begun and with it brings the new phrase, “February Frenzy”. No ice storm can prevent some of the best players in the state from taking the court and putting on a show for all in attendance. A few Tuesday games have been pushed back to Wednesday due to the weather, but the action has already begun. It’s time to break down the brackets and see how things might pan out.

CLASS AAAAAA ...

Defending champ Tift County (26-1) have the potential to set up a rematch of last year’s state title with Wheeler (25-2) if the two schools are able to advance to the Elite Eight in the bottom right side of the bracket. A potential dark horse is No. 3 seed, North Gwinnett (14-13). After a slow start, the Bulldogs have won eight of their last ten. Tucker (26-2) has transitioned to 6A smoothly and is a No.1 seed.

The top left bracket seemingly will lead to an Elite Eight collision between Norcross (25-3)

and Pebblebrook (23-5). The Blue Devils have won 16-straight games. Shiloh (23-3) looks like the favorite to come out of the bottom left.

The girl’s field may be the strongest in all of the state. The lower left side of the bracket is loaded with North Forsyth (23-4), Parkview (24-3), and Osborne (24-2). On the top side, Westlake (27-2) has already survived a scare from Hillgrove, but things won’t get any easier as they play the winner of Woodstock (26-1) and West Forsyth (21-5). Defending champion McEachern (18-5) is grouped with the likes of Mountain View (22-5) and South Forsyth (244) who they would likely meet in the second round. Archer (24-5) headlines the bottom right quadrant.

CLASS AAAAA ...

Miller Grove (25-3) is the favorite to win their seventh straight title. If Apalachee (198) can meet the Wolverines in the Elite Eight, expect Kamar Baldwin to put on a show. Allatoona (25-2) looks to be the favorite coming

CLASS AAAA ...

Reigning champ Jonesboro (27-1) is on a warpath to repeat. A date with JohnsonGainesville (27-0) would make for an interesting Elite Eight game. Columbia (18-10), last year’s runner up, is one of the rare teams that can match Carrollton (25-2) inside. Avi Toomer and Grady (14-14) could be a surprise No. 3 seed to come out of the upper left quadrant.

Lithonia (25-2) is a favorite to make it to the final four.

Much like the boys team, Jonesboro (271) looks like the team to beat. In what could be a state title matchup, the Cardinals would have to face Buford (26-3) who was runner up in AAA last season. Veterans (28-1) is dangerous and should battle Marist (22-4) to come out of their side of the bracket. Last year’s champion, Redan (19-7), will have an uphill battle as the No. 4 seed. Carrollton (21-7) meets the Raiders in the first round, and Americus-Sumter (27-1) still looms in their quadrant.

CLASS AAA ...

Tookie Brown of Morgan County (20-7) stole the show last year and will look to do so again this season. South Atlanta (25-4) would make for a formidable foe if the two schools met in the Elite Eight. At 7-21, Jefferson snuck into the postseason and is the ultimate Cinderella story. Its bracket is not a kind one as Laney (26-1) resides in it. Laney is a favorite to win it all this year. Jenkins (24-3) is someone who might meet the Wildcats in the title. The Warriors fell to Laney by 11 this year.

Dawson County (27-0) is the only unde-

5

feated team after South Atlanta (27-2) lost in the region title game and then was upset by Washington County (23-6) by three on Tuesday. Decatur (27-2) and Kendrick (26-2), last season’s AA champs, look to duke it out for a Final Four spot. Peach County (23-3) is the hottest team in its quadrant.

CLASS AA ...

Holy Innocents’ (23-5) is the most dangerous No. 3 seed in the tournament. Crawford County (23-3) could pose problems for defending champ GAC (18-9) in the second round. Pace Academy (25-2) is the favorite to win it all, but a potential meeting with Vidalia (26-2) in the Elite Eight could cause mismatches. If Reggie Reid can get hot, Harlem (23-4) could creep into the Final Four.

Pelham (27-1) and Holy Innocents’ (270) have stood out as the teams to beat this year. The two are favorites to meet in the Final Four. Manchester (24-2) has won 22-straight and could meet the Hornets in the Elite Eight.

Last year’s runner up, Wesleyan (21-7) faces a tough quadrant that holds Putnam County (235), a top ten ranked team. Vidalia (24-4) may have a chance to thwart Holy Innocents’ championship hopes if they meet in the Elite Eight.

CLASS A ...

The draws have yet to come out, but even without them there are some heavy favorites.

In the Private bracket, St. Francis (25-3) will look to defend its title, but Greenforest (241) is a long talented team who could steal the show. Athens Christian is undefeated at 27-0.

The public side features Calhoun County (262) and Hancock Central (23-2) who will attempt to knock off Wilkinson County (24-4) from its perch.

A loaded girls field features St. Francis (24-3) as the favorites to take the Private crown, but defending champion SW Atlanta Christian (25-3) will look to hold off the Knights and other strong challengers. Taylor County (27-0) leads the public field with Claxton (22-4) and Turner County (25-2) as head contenders.

Chicago Bulls

High School Hoops

Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Russell Westbrook’s 41 points lifted the West to a 163-158 victory over the East in the NBA AllStar Game this Sunday, but Kyle Korver (21), Jeff Teague (14), Al Horford (8) and Paul Millsap (5) combined for 48 points represented the Atlanta Hawks well as the quartet took the floor together with Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving in the second quarter.

With the ‘second half’ of the NBA season starting, the Hawks hold a 6.5 game lead over Toronto and a nine-game lead over Chicago for first in the East. The Bulls, however have won four games in a row, which is the longest current streak in the NBA. The winning streak included last Thursday’s 113-98 win over LeBron and the Cavaliers.

Region tournaments are in the books and the playoff fields are set for all seven classifications. Georgia’s 384 boys and girls playoff teams will spend the next two weeks battling for the Peach State’s 14 state titles. Nationally, this is a slow week in sports but locally the fun has just begun!

All-Star Hawks

SCORE LIST

By Brian Jones

BACK AT IT

The Hawks are back in action as they take on the Toronto Raptors Friday at Philips Arena. It was a great first half for the Hawks, but they need to finish strong in order to secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. It will be an electric atmosphere on Friday, just like it has been all season long.

WHAT ABOUT FERRY?

The Hawks are having success this season without general manager Danny Ferry who is on a leave of absence after saying some insensitive comments about Luol Deng. Former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young believes that Ferry is not a racist and he should be back with the team. We’ll see what happens, but I think the Hawks should hold on to Ferry.

STUMBLING BULLDOGS

After getting a big win against Texas A&M last week, Georgia’s men’s basketball team has been slipping, losing to Auburn on Saturday and South Carolina on Tuesday. With a 7-6 record in the SEC, the Bulldogs will need to finish strong in order to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament.

INDOOR FACILITY

It looks like the Bulldogs will get their indoor practice facility, but it will cost UGA $30 million. Regardless, the UGA Athletic Association is working quickly to get the facility built. This will be big for the Bulldogs because a new indoor practice facility will lead to more top recruits, and it will make the Bulldogs even more competitive in the SEC.

STATE TOURNAMENT

High school basketball is now in state tournament mode as every school is trying to get to the Macon Coliseum.

Can the Wheeler boys win another state title? Can the McEachern girls repeat and hold the state title trophy once again? It should be an exciting few weeks and I’m looking forward to seeing all the action.

Tyren Jones

After opening the season 27-0, the South Atlanta Lady Hornets collapsed and saw their season end with backto-back defeats. Decatur took a 56-38 victory in the Region championship on Saturday and Washington County grabbed a 57-54 victory over South Atlanta to advance to the Sweet 16 on Tuesday.

After victories over Tennessee and Texas A&M, The Bulldogs have dropped back-to-back games. Georgia lost at home 69-68 to Auburn (the SEC’s worst team) on Saturday before falling again Tuesday night to South Carolina 64-58 (the SEC’s third worst team).

The former Walton star and Alabama running back was suspended indefinitely last week for his latest failure to comply with team rules.

Jones was also suspended in October and this will not help the sophomore running back compete for a job in Alabama’s crowded backfield.

TRADITIONAL WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

ALL SIX DUAL TITLISTS REPEAT AT GHSA TRADITIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

BY CRAIG SAGER II | CSAGER@SCOREATL.COM

F

or the first time since 2005, each dual state championship team completed the season sweep Saturday and captured the GHSA Traditional Wrestling titles at the Macon Centreplex including Jefferson’s 15th straight championship.

In Class AAAAAA, Gwinnett County’s Archer swept the titles for a third consecutive time by cruising past second-place Chattahoochee 235.5 to 99.0. The Tigers had five individual state champions: Chris Diaz (132 pounds), Thomas Bullard (160), Daniel Bullard (170), Quinn Miller (220) and Elliott Lee (285). Lee won the state title at 190 pounds last season and successful made the jump to 285 to fill in for Archer’s heavyweight state champ from last year, M.J. Couzan. Lee defeated Berkmar standout Jose Acosta in the final match of the weekend. Pope’s Jake Adcock (Army-signee) won the 152-pound individual

state title and wraps up his varsity career as a three-time state champion.

Class AAAAA Camden County outscored second-place Woodland-Bartow 213.5-127.0 to win the school’s first-ever traditional state title. The Wildcats qualified wresters in all 14 weight classes entering the tournament and the depth carried them throughout the weekend as the team placed seven wrestlers in the finals. Jay Sheppard (138) was Camden County’s only individual champion but second-place finishes by Lucas Nelson (106), Bryce Crew (120), Adrian Hughes (126), Denton Spencer (132), Domonique Hargrave (182) and Aaron Galegor (195) accounted for 127 of Camden County’s 213.5 points.

Like Archer, Class AAAA’s Gilmer completed its third-straight sweep of titles. Lucas Patterson (132), Jamie Lopez (152), Matthew Waddell (170) and Levi Seabolt (285) gave

Gilmer four first-place finishers as the Bobcats tallied 220.5 points and held off secondplace Marist (147.5). Domingo Reynoso (106), Trevor Preece (113) and Marcelino Lopez (120) got Gilmer off to a fast start with second-place finishes and a combined 62.5 points in the first three weight classes. Gilmer’s William Gudger also finished second and added 22 points to the total after falling to North Hall’s Michael Carew in the 145-pound championship.

Newly-reclassified Jefferson won the Class AAA state title for the first time, while making its annual return to the podium to collect the program’s 15th consecutive traditional state championship and 19th all-time traditional title. The Dragons crowned six individual champions and had 11 wrestlers finish in the top 6. Dawson Bates (106), Mitchell McGhee (113) and Ben Kelly (120) conquered the first three weight classes before teammates Tanner Thurmond (132), Chase Piperato (145) and Caleb Little (182) added first-place finishes.

Jefferson nearly doubled second-place Lumpkin County (125.0) with a total 240.5 points.

After winning a wrestling state title for the first time in school history at the dual state championships last month, Social Circle held off Bremen 215.0 to 160.5 to capture the Class AA traditional title and complete its first-ever sweep of state titles. Cade Lackey was the only individual champion returning from the

Redskins third-place finish at state last year and he was edged by Bremen’s Joseph Stroud for first-place in the 152-pound finals. However, Lackey’s runner-up finish accounted for 16 points and Social Circle would stockpile first-place finishes at 132 pounds (James Corasaniti), 138 (Reid Harris), 160 (Cameron Paschal) and 195 (David Endstrom). Gordon Lee’s Jonathan Ragsdale completed a perfect 58-0 season with the Class AA 120-pound title and joined even rarer company, becoming the 30th four-time individual state champion in Georgia history.

Commerce dominated the Class A field with 283 points as the Tigers more than tripled second-place Turner County (90.0) and third-place Treutlen (83.5) for the state title.

A Commerce wrestler finished in the top four of every weight class and a school-record eight wrestlers were crowned individual champions.

Casey Burchett (106), Jacob Brewer (113), Dalton Flint (120), Austin Brock (126), Mitchell Patton (132) and Owen Brown (138) won state titles in the first six weight classes and Cole Chauncey took the 170-pound title before Derek Benoit capped off the Tigers’ historic weekend with a 4-3 decision over Brandon Carswell (Montgomery County) in the 285 pound final.

BULLDOGS PREP FOR NFL COMBINE; BASEBALL GETS UNDERWAY

BY DAN MATHEWS | DMATHEWS@SCOREATL.COM

season never ends for the Georgia Fthisootball Bulldogs, with the NFL Draft coming up later spring. Five Bulldogs will have the chance

to show the pro scouts, coaches, and general manager’s what they bring to the field next week at the annual scouting combine in Indianapolis.

Early entry running back Todd Gurley, wide receiver Chris Conley, defensive back Damian Swann, linebackers Ramik Wilson and Amarlo Herrera will all have their chance to meet with the NFL next week in Indianapolis.

Gurley in all likelihood will not take part in any of the on-field workouts next week at Lucas Oil Stadium, coming back from the torn ACL he suffered against Auburn last November. This coupled with the four-game suspension for accepting money for autographs, limited the junior running back to only six games played in 2014. That said, he was still able to run for 911 yards on over 120 carries.

Many still expect Gurley to be a possible late first round pick and maybe even an early second round selection.

GEORGIA STATE

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY; BASEBALL SEASON HERE

BY KYLE SANDY | KSANDY@SCOREATL.COM

G

eorgia State kept pace with Georgia Southern and UL Monroe as the Panthers (17-8, 10-4) came away with a 53-41 win at Texas State (11-13, 5-10) on Valentine’s Day. With leading scorer Ryan Harrow still out with a concussion, R.J. Hunter and Markus Crider led the Panthers as the only two players scoring in double figures. Hunter yet again struggled with his shot going 4 of 16, but he still managed to pour in a game-high 17 points while Crider finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Throughout Hunter’s offensive struggles and Harrow’s injury, Georgia State has remained afloat in the Sun Belt by relying on its defense.

The Bobcats were held to just 29 percent shooting, the fourth consecutive opponent to shoot under 30 percent. “I am really proud of the way we are playing defensively right now,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “The team has really bought into what we are trying to do on the defensive end and I believe that our length is really disrupting teams. It takes great defense

Conley heads to the combine after pulling in a team leading eight touchdowns in 2014.

He was just one catch behind Michael Bennett for the team lead in receptions.

Swann had a strong 2014, with 65 total tackles, eight pass breakups, four interceptions, and one fumble returned 99 yards for a touchdown against Georgia Tech. He proved himself to be the strong senior leadership that Georgia was hoping for in the secondary this season.

Georgia linebackers Ramik Wilson and Amarlo Herrera head into the combine as two of the most productive defensive players for Georgia this past season. Both combined for 225 total tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, and five sacks.

BASEBALL IS UNDERWAY!

Georgia’s baseball season begins this Friday with a three game series against Eastern Illinois at the newly renovated Foley Field. The Bulldogs get back on the diamond, after making an appearance at the SEC Baseball Tournament in Hoover, Alabama.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Robert Tyler gets the season started on the mound, after a strong freshman campaign. In 2014, he put up a 6-4 record with a 2.68 ERA in 12 starts. He is also on the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award Watch-list. This is given to the nation’s top amateur baseball player.

The Bulldogs will go with junior left-hander Ryan Lawlor on Saturday and junior righthander David Sosebee on Sunday.

Friday’s season opener gets underway at 5:05.

GEORGIA TECH

FRESHMAN TADRIC JACKSON GIVES JACKETS MUCHNEEDED LIFT

BY KYLE SANDY | KSANDY@SCOREATL.COM

T

he Yellow Jackets men’s basketball team has struggled closing games this season as 13 of their 14 losses have been decided by eight points or less. However, freshman Tadric Jackson started in place of guard Chris Bolden, who was suspended indefinitely for “not adhering to the standards of our program,” according to head coach Brian Gregory and lifted Tech to a 63-52 home win over Clemson on Monday.

Jackson, the AJC’s All-Classification Player of the Year last season, is known for his scoring but his role as a passer was extremely effective in Monday’s victory. Jackson finished with five assists and just one turnover in 29 minutes after previously logging just 16 assists the entire season.

Center Demarco Cox was the recipient of four of Jackson’s five assists and finished an efficient 6-8 shooting for 12 points.

“He [Jackson] kind of plays with a confidence that he not only belongs out there, but maybe belongs on the top of the heap,” Gregory

to get to the NCAA tournament and that is what we are doing right now.”

CAT FIGHT ...

The Panthers (10-13, 5-9) dropped to the Bobcats (15-9, 10-5), 71-61. After shooting 44.8 percent in the first half, the Panthers cooled in the second and connected on just 27.3 percent. Erin Peoples scored a game-high 24 points to lift the Bobcats. Gaby Moss finished with 16 points and Makeba Ponder pitched in 13 in the loss. “I guess I would use the words frustrating and inconsistent to describe today’s game,” head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener said. “We missed so many open shots that ended up costing us. Gaby Moss did a good job today in making some things happen for us, but we missed Alisha Andrews for a long stretch with her foul problem.”

ON THE DIAMOND ...

Baseball season has begun and the Panthers (1-2) are ready to get some wins under their belt. Georgia State dropped a doubleheader to No. 23 Liberty (2-1), 10-7 and 9-1 on Saturday. GSU went 1-2 at the Atlanta Challenge which featured some of the top programs from the state of Georgia. Though Georgia State didn’t come away with the exact results they wanted, one star shined bright. Preseason All-American Matt Rose hit three homers in the first two games of the season and is hitting .455 with six RBI after three games. The Panthers visit Mercer on Tuesday at 5 p.m.

BASEBALL WINS TWO OF THREE, MEN’S BB FALLS TO NORTH FLORIDA

I

t’s finally here. The baseball team kicked off the 2015 season on Friday as they took on Liberty at Stillwell Stadium. And thanks to offensive contributions from Kal Simmons and Colin Bennett, the Owls won 11-9.

Both Simmons and Bennett hit homers in the win and tallied a combined seven RBIs. The Owls scored eight runs in the first three innings to help them secure the win.

“They came out right away and had some good at bats, barreled some balls up, and scored eight runs in the first three innings,” head coach Mike Sansing” said. “It was encouraging to see that kind of offense come out that early in the season.”

On Saturday, the Owls took on St. Johns in the doubleheader. The Owls lost Game 1 by a score of 6-2, but they came back in Game 2 with a 10-5 win. Newcomers Griffin Helms and Corey Greeson each hit home runs and tallied five RBIs in the win.

told the AJC’s Ken Sugiura after the game. “And maybe we need that. And I like that about him.”

Gregory did not stop the praise and went on to add, “As his development as a player and his consistency as a player matches that (confidence), I think he has a chance to be one of the best players in this league. I really do, before it’s all said and done.”

Tech has four regular season games left including a home and away with No. 15 North Carolina and a home game against No. 12 Louisville on Feb. 23. The Yellow Jackets will also visit Clemson on Saturday, Feb. 28 with a chance to record its only two-game sweep of the season.

POOL PARTY…

Georgia Tech will host the ACC Swimming championships for the first time since 2011 on Wednesday. The Virginia women’s team returns as a clear favorite after winning the past seven conference titles. The Tech women finished in the top 10 last year, while the men placed seventh last year behind men’s champion Virginia Tech.

Georgia Tech diver Shannon Lumbra currently holds the school-record on the one-meter board and explained to the AJC the benefit of diving off of what will be a familiar board to her in the championships.

“We set a goal early on in the season to get top six,” Lumbra said. “We just really want to move up, do better.”

The Owls faced Mercer on Wednesday, but results were not available at deadline. They will be on the road this weekend as they face Jacksonville State on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

STILL FIGHTING…

The men’s basketball team is not where they want to be in terms of their record, but they are still fighting day-in and day-out, which is all head coach Jimmy Lallathin can ask for.

On Saturday, the Owls took on North Florida and the Owls could never get anything going, losing 67-51. Nigel Pruitt led the Owls with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Orlando Coleman had nine and Bernard Morena added eight.

The Owls actually had momentum after the first half, leading 27-25. After trailing by seven to start the game, the Owls started to chip away at the lead thanks to a 9-0 run late in the first half.

“I thought it was our best first half that we’ve played this year,” Lallathin said. “Going in defensively we were hitting our assignments and doing exactly what was asked. In the second half, we lost our focus and assignments.

That’s the number one offense in the second half and they showed it.”

The Owls will face Stetson on Saturday in Deland, Fla. They will have their final home game on Wednesday when they take on Northern Kentucky at 7 p.m.

HAWKS HEADLINE ALL-STAR WEEKEND

BY KYLE SANDY | KSANDY@SCOREATL.COM

A

trip to the Big Apple was a success for Atlanta’s quadruplet of stars. A game that featured a whopping 133 three-point shots taken was led by Kyle Korver’s seven 3-pointers. The first time all-star shined in the runand-gun, defense optional game as he banged home seven threes on 12 attempts and finished with 21 points. Though the East lost 163-158, Atlanta was on full display as Coach Mike Budenholzer played all four Hawks at the same time during a stretch in the first quarter.

“I thought we would all be out there together quite a bit. We were kind of hand signaling to run a few plays, but you weren’t really running plays,” Korver said. “It was just up and down.

But it was great for the Hawks and for the city of Atlanta. It was really cool.”

Korver finished second in scoring for the East behind only LeBron James’ 30 points. Jeff Teague finished with 13 points while Al Horford chipped in eight points and Paul Millsap added five. The all-star game might have been

GONZALEZ EXPRESSES OPTIMISM FOR NEW-LOOK BRAVES

BY RICKY DIMON | RDIMON@SCOREATL.COM

F

redi Gonzalez is leaving it to the media and fans to write off the upcoming Atlanta Braves season. No manager would ever do that, himself, to his own team and Gonzalez is no exception. Although his ballclub’s slew of offseason transactions may suggest otherwise, Atlanta’s skipper—whether he believes it or not—insists the Braves are not “rebuilding” and could actually contend in this year’s National League East.

“The sexy pick is the Nationals,” Gonzalez told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “The Marlins have gotten better. The Mets are getting healthier. But you have to play the schedule out. You just never know. You just keep battling. Our goal is still the same and that’s to get to the postseason.

“I think when you rebuild, you blow it up,” he continued. “I think what we did is we retooled.

I think that’s a better term than ‘rebuilding.’ If you’re rebuilding you don’t have Nick Markakis.

You don’t have Jonny Gomes. You don’t have a

the final event during all-star weekend, but it definitely was not the only event the Hawks had their fingerprints all over. Kyle Korver appeared in the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest and drained 18 shots, which usually would be enough to make it to the second round, but in what was said to be the toughest field in the history of the event, Korver could not advance past the opening stage. Both Teague and Dennis Schroder appeared in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, but neither was able to make it to the final round. Paul Millsap took part in the Degree Shooting Stars event but his team was knocked out in the first round. Team Bosh won the event for the third straight year and was anchored by none other than Hawk great Dominque Wilkins. Wilkins, the 55-year-old former Atlanta Hawks star, hit a half-court shot after 57.6 seconds in the final round to seal Team Bosh’s three-peat.

DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME ...

Atlanta (43-11) returns to action this Friday as they welcome the Toronto Raptors (3617) who are currently six and a half games back of Atlanta for first place in the conference. A big six-game west coast swing kicks off on March 11th and will see the Hawks battle Phoenix, Golden State, and Oklahoma City. The Hawks finish their season at Chicago which may or may not determine how the top three seeds in the East shakeout.

Chris Johnson or an A.J. Pierzynski.”

The Braves signed three of those veterans—Markakis, Gomes and Pierzynski—this offseason and Johnson is back for a third campaign as the team’s projected starting third baseman. The Braves will likely need all of them to exceed expectations in order to partly offset the losses of Jason Heyward (traded to St. Louis), Justin Upton (traded to San Diego) and Evan Gattis (traded to Houston). They also have to hope starting pitcher Shelby Miller (acquired in the Heyward trade) makes up for the departures of veterans Kris Medlen (signed with Kansas City) and Ervin Santana (signed with Minnesota).

YOUNG JR. SIGNS ...

Atlanta continued its roster overhaul by signing Eric Young Jr. to a minor-league contract last week. The 29-year-old stole a careerhigh 46 bases with the Mets and Rockies in 2013. He batted a career-best .316 in 98 games for Colorado in 2013. Young swiped 30 bases in just 100 games for the Mets last year, but he slumped to a .229 average and his strikeouts (60) more than doubled his walks (24) for a third consecutive season.

A six-year player who has suited up only for those two aforementioned teams, Young could be in the mix to platoon with Gomes in left field. Gomes is expected to get most of the work against left-handed pitchers, while either Young—a switch-hitter—or Zoilo Almonte could be the choice to bat against right-handers.

ATLANTA FALCONS

MORGAN ARRIVES TO REMODEL OFFENSIVE LINE

BY CRAIG SAGER II | CSAGER@SCOREATL.COM

he Falcons expect big things from new ofT fensive line coach Chris Morgan, who arrived to Flowery Branch this week to get started on building an offensive line capable of moving the chains and protecting Matt Ryan.

Morgan hails from Seattle, where he served on the staff with Atlanta’s new head coach Dan Quinn. Morgan spent 2014 as the assistant offensive line coach, helping a Seahawks rushing attack that ranked first in the league, averaging 172.6 yards per game. The familiarity with Morgan and Quinn is also the case with Morgan and new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. The two new Falcons coaches worked together in Washington (2011-2013).

The 2012 season resulted in tremendous success as Washington finished ninth in the NFL in total offense (369.7) and fifth in rushing yards (135.3). Morgan’s familiarity with Shanahan’s offense is sure to help the Falcons’ offensive line adapt to the new schemes.

VALENTINE’S DAY BLUES

n its most recent game this Sunday, Gwinnett (16-29-2-1) fell to Greenville (28-19-1-2) to a final score of 5-2. Casey Pierro-Zabotel netted the Gladiators’ lone two goals and now has 21 to his credit this season. Gwinnett came out aggressive sending 15 shots at Jason Missiaen, while the Road Warriors just took six of their own. The Gladiators were unable to grab an early lead at home and after the first period saw their shot attempts dwindle to five and six as Greenville began to take control. Josh Nicholls scored on a power play at the 8:03 mark in the first period to give Greenville a lead. The second period saw a barrage of goals with five pucks finding the net. Pierro-Zabotel at the 5:07 mark off a Garry Nunn assist to knot the game up. From there on, it was an onslaught of Road Warrior goals as they struck for three goals within a five minute span. Ryan Hegarty scored twice before Kyle Jean tacked on a power play goal to make it 4-1. Pierro-Zabotel would tack on a power play goal to cut the lead

ferent by kickoff in 2015 and the team made one of its first offseason moves last Friday.

Linebacker Allen Bradford was added to the roster as a versatile playmaker that is still growing into his position. Bradford stands a solid 5-foot-11, 235 pounds and was originally drafted in the sixth round (187th overall) of the 2011 draft as a running back out of USC. He was signed to the Seahawks practice squad in October of 2011 where he made the switch to linebacker. In college, Bradford played in 52 games for the Trojans while totaling 1,585 yards on 267 carries (5.9 yards per carry) with 16 touchdowns as a running back. He averaged 7.2 yards per carry in 2010, which ranked second in the nation and was USC’s second leading rusher in 2009, earning All-Pac-10 honorable mention.

Bradford’s NFL career has resulted time with the New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns and he has seen action in 13 career games, including one game with the NFC Champion Seahawks in 2014.

BORN TO RUN…

Winning the special teams battle is a key ingredient to successful teams and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong met with Quinn for the first time to share philosophies last week.

“He [Quinn] wrote ‘speed’ and underlined it and handed me the piece of paper,” said Armstrong. “His philosophy is if you can run, whether you’re a starter or a backup, if you can run, you can play on special teams.”

to 4-2 heading into the final frame, but the Gladiators could not muster up the fire power to come back and tie it.

PINK PROBLEMS ...

On Saturday in the first night of their 8th annual Pink In the Rink promotion, Gwinnett was shutout for a second consecutive night by the South Carolina Stingrays, 5-0. The players were not in the Valentine’s Day spirit, as play was rough and included eight penalties in the first 20 minutes. A scoreless first period was not a precursor for the rest of the game. The Rays snagged three goals in a three minute span to blow the game wide open. Andrew Rowe cracked the ice first, and then Braden Pimm followed. Rowe finished the scoring flurry with his second of the night, giving South Carolina a 3-0 lead heading into the third.

Pimm struck again on a power play and Tim Spencer added the finishing touches to a 5-0 blowout. Gwinnett was outshot woefully for the second game in a row, managing just 17 attempts to South Carolina’s 34.

HITTIN’ THE ROAD ...

The Gladiators kick off their season long eight game road trip as they visit Kalamazoo (21-19-2-3) this Wednesday. Gwinnett visits Fort Wayne, Florida, Orlando, and South Carolina before returning home on March 7.
