Scores turn out to help shape Dunwoody Village plan

Residents consider potential changes to the Dunwoody Village Master Plan on Nov. 16 at Vintage Pizza in Dunwoody.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — More than 100 Dunwoody residents packed into Vintage Pizza Nov. 16 to review potential changes to the Dunwoody Village Master Plan.

The proposed plan dictates zoning requirements for the area near the intersection of Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road. Initially adopted in 2011, the master plan envisions transforming the area into a more walkable, mixed-use city center.

The city hired Atlanta-based planning firm TSW to review and rewrite zoning regulations in an effort to make the area more attractive to developers.

At Saturday’s open house, planners from TSW presented a draft of their recommendations get feedback from residents.

“We’re not here to change that vision,” said Woody Giles, a planner with TSW. “We’re here to talk about what zoning changes are needed to make that happen.”

Rather than one overlay, the new plan divides the area into four districts. Along Chamblee Dunwoody Road and between Dunwoody Village Parkway and Mount Vernon would be the Village Center. This zone would have the highest density, up to five stories, and all developments more than 15,000 square feet would be required to have a mix of uses.

To the west and north of the Village Center would be the Village Commercial District, which allows for up to four stories unless a development is near an existing single-family home.

To the southwest and east would

DeKalb County School Board cuts ties with superintendent

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County Board of Education voted at a Nov. 11 special called meeting to approve a separation agreement with Superintendent Stephen Green effective immediately.

This summer, Green announced he would not seek an extension to his contract which was set to end June 2020.

Some board members said they approved an immediate separation to avoid 03-06-19_HAbannerBlue.qxp_Layout 1 3/4/19 a lame duck period.

Ramona Tyson was named interim superintendent as the Board of Education continues to search for a new leader.

Tyson brings 32 years of total service to the DeKalb County School District, serving as a classroom teacher, TYSON administrator, deputy chief superintendent, interim superintendent, chief of staff to three superintendents and 11:16 AM Page 1 chief administrator to the board.

Board Member Stan Jester, who represents Dunwoody, said he looks forward to working with Tyson.

“The one thing I most appreciate about Ms. Tyson and her career is her courage to make difficult decisions,” Jester said. “She’s had a lot of pressure to do what’s popular, and when it’s tough, she makes the tough decisions.”

“We appreciate Dr. Green for his service to the county and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” Erwin said.

“With Dr. Green’s immediate departure, we have the utmost confidence in Ms. Tyson serving as the interim superintendent.”

The vote to approve the separation agreement was 6-1, with Board Member Allyson Gevertz opposed. She said the move sends a message to potential superintendent candidates that the School Board does not honor its commitments.

Thief uses man’s card in fraudulent purchase DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody man contacted police Nov. 5 after he noticed a $4,600 fraudulent purchase on his credit card.

The man said that his bank notified him the previous day of a suspicious transaction for a $4,600 purchase at a shoe store in Southwest Atlanta.

The credit card used in the transaction had been a replacement card sent to the man that he never received.

A bank representative advised the man to report the incident to police.

Village: Continued from Page 1 be the Village Residential District, and along the south would be the Village Office District. Both would have a maximum height of three stories.

Housing, in some form, would be allowed in all four zones. No detached housing would be allowed within the village, but townhomes would be permitted in the commercial and residential areas.

Owner-occupied multi-unit housing, like condos or multiplexes, would be allowed in all four districts, but rental apartments would require a special use permit from the City Council. All housing would be a maximum density of 12 units per acre.

“We don’t want it to be super dense,” Giles said. “That does give you enough density to support the retail and restaurants.”

The plan dictates other allowable uses for each district. Commercial buildings could not be more than 50,000 square feet to prevent big box retail. Drive-thrus

Man alerted to fraud after losing wallet

DUNWOODY, Ga. — An Atlanta man contacted police Nov. 6 after he noticed some fraudulent transactions on his bank account.

The man said he had lost his wallet the previous day. On Nov. 6, he received a notification from his bank about some transactions made using an app. The transactions totaled close to $900 and were made to two women.

The man called his bank to report the incident before contacting police.

Work equipment stolen from parked vehicle DUNWOODY, Ga. — An Atlanta man called police Nov. 3 after he saw that several pieces of equipment had been stolen from his truck.

The man said he had parked his would continue to be prohibited, and no new banks would be allowed within a quarter mile of an existing bank.

The plan also includes new roads developers would be required to build as the area fills out to create a grid pattern.

This would relief traffic on the major roads and make the area feel more walkable, the planners said.

Some residents at the meeting suggested more traffic studies are needed.

Other residents said they liked the plans but were skeptical they would actually be built. Requirements, like building new roads, require significant investment from potential developers, they said.

The TSW plan identifies ways the city could partner with developers by sharing the costs of moving utilities underground or building public parking garages.

Mayor-elect Lynn Deutsch said she was pleased with the turnout at the Saturday afternoon meeting.

“It brings out not only a different variety of people, but also a different energy than meetings at night,” she said.

“This is definitely a project there’s a lot of interest in.”

truck that morning at Dunwoody Crossing. He left the truck bed unlocked and covered it.

When the man returned, close to $700 worth of equipment was gone. The equipment included saws, a sprayer and work table.

Alleged shoplifter caught stealing earbuds at store DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a man Nov. 3 for allegedly shoplifting earbuds from the Target on Perimeter Center Place.

The loss prevention officer said he saw the man take four earbuds and conceal them in his jacket before attempting to leave the store without paying. The earbuds are worth $20 each.

The man was stopped and arrested for shoplifting. He was identified as 25-yearold Donald Butler of Lithonia.

See BLOTTER, Page 3 Back in June, as many as 200 community members took part in a public workshop and walking tours of the Dunwoody Village. Feedback gathered from that event helped shape the most recent update.

“Public input has been an important part of developing the vision for the Dunwoody Village,” Community Development Director Richard McLeod said.

“Now we’re ready to share the plan as we look at connectivity, public spaces and the character of future development.”

In December 2018, the Dunwoody City Council approved several zoning amendments to the Village Overlay, including removing the Williamsburg style of architecture as a requirement. Drive-thrus for new buildings were also prohibited.

TSW will review the public input from Saturday and make any necessary changes to their plan before it goes before the City Council for adoption, which is expected to happen sometime early next year.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Stop deforestation in Dunwoody

Special

The DeKalb County Sanitation Division will deploy 46 new automated side loader sanitation collection trucks by December.

DeKalb County to roll out new waste collection trucks DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County Sanitation Division will deploy 46 new automated side loader sanitation collection trucks by next month.

Operated by a single driver, the technologically advanced garbage trucks increase efficiency, reduce costs and allow the county to service a growing number of customers.

“With the support of the Board of Commissioners, DeKalb County’s sanitation fleet now includes more efficient, cost-effective trucks that will help to reduce workplace injuries,” DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond said.

In the past 10 months, the cities of Pine Lake and Stone Mountain switched from private providers to DeKalb County’s sanitation service, adding approximately 3,000 more homes to the county’s coverage area. In January 2020, the city of Doraville is expected to join the service area, adding another 2,500 customers.

“In addition to improving waste collection, DeKalb’s new ASL trucks will optimize routing, increase the level of service to our citizens and keep county roads and communities clean,” Sanita-

tion Division Director Tracy Hutchinson said.

In October 2017, the Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the purchase of 36 ASL trucks, followed by another purchase of 10 ASL trucks in May 2018. The total cost of the 46 trucks is $15.8 million.

The first trucks were delivered in November 2018 and final delivery was made on Oct. 1, 2019.

ASL trucks meet and exceed industry standards. To improve operational, safety and communication functions, all ASLs were modified with cameras, twoway radios and steering that allows them to make tight turns in cul-de-sacs.

To date, nine trucks have been part of the ASL pilot program, and four are currently servicing DeKalb County residential customers.

Under, DeKalb’s pilot program there were no major injuries reported. An ASL truck, with a single driver, was able to complete a full route (800 to 1,200 homes) in seven to eight hours, compared to a rear loader truck which requires a three-person crew typically taking 10 hours.

This letter is in regard to the Nov. 14 Crier article, “Wildlife poses threat to Dunwoody Community Garden and Orchard.”

This year I have seen more deer near the road or walking path than I have seen in my 30 years living across the street from Brook Run Park (formerly GRC). I attribute this to the latest destruction of green space at the park.

The size of the area bulldozed and number of the trees felled is disgusting.

Wooded areas absorb greenhouse gases, buffer sounds and provides habitat for wildlife. As much as I love gardening, I have no concern for the “threat” to the community garden and orchard.

The City of Dunwoody has stripped the deer of their natural habitat that includes their food source while increasing their risk of being hit by cars. Now the city wants to spend $16,000 on a fence to keep the deer out. I suggest planting deer-resistant plants and spending the money on crosswalks connecting pedestrians and bicyclists to the park. Council members Deutsch, Harris, and Seconder I am counting on you to stop greenspace destruction!

OPINION

Loving my senior dog It breaks my heart that Banjo has aged so much this year.

Though he turned 12 in February, he’s only started slowing down dramatically in the last few months.

He still follows me up and down the stairs KATHY all day long, but a MANOS PENN bit more slowly. Of course, his Greenies and the tiny dog treats he enjoys are only dispensed from my office drawer, which is likely the incentive for him to climb those stairs repeatedly.

My husband says Banjo’s a mama’s boy, which may be the true incentive.

Heaven forbid Banjo be on a different floor than his mom. He’s been attached to me ever since I took him to training at PetSmart. He loves his dad, but he’s pretty much my dog.

This quote I found on a Great Pyrenees Facebook page sums up his personality perfectly: “I roam, I bark, and I don’t always listen, but I’ll guard you and love you forever and always.” He’s part Pyr, and if he weren’t black, he’d be the poster child for this quote.

I say he’s taken to going “walkabout,” an Australian term for a journey taken by young Aboriginal males between the ages of 10 and 16. I guess he’s the right age.

He’s fine as long as he goes out the side door because the electric fence encloses the side and back yards. Unfortunately, as his eyesight’s begun to fail, he no longer wants to go out that door after dark. Picture me encouraging him to get to his feet and move from the living room to the kitchen door. Not happening. He simply rolls over on his back and

becomes 60 pounds of dead weight.

Thus began his evening trips out the front door. All was fine until it wasn’t — until he started expanding his boundaries, venturing into the neighbor’s yard, and taking his sweet time responding to the come command. For now, I continue to let him out the front and watch him closely, but I worry.

Barking is another issue. What triggers a bark? It can be something as obvious as walkers on the street or deer in the driveway. On occasion, a leaf may fall, or as my sister says about her dog, he may bark at an ant crawling on a blade of grass. Since Pyrs were bred to protect herds of sheep and goats, I’m sure he sees himself as our vigilant guard dog and us as his herd.

Pyrs are nocturnal animals, so it’s natural for Banjo to bark at night, though for years he’s been a pretty sound sleeper and barked very little until daylight.

As I wrote in another column, that all changed when he developed doggie dementia and began standing in the kitchen barking in the middle of the night. So far, we have that under control.

As for listening, Pyrs are known to have minds of their own, and Banjo does, particularly when I call “Banjo, come.” That tendency combined with going walkabout can make for an irritating combination. No matter his issues, I love my boy, and he promises to “guard me and love me forever and always.” What more can a gal ask for?

Bill Lowery was ‘Mr. Atlanta Music’ in Brookhaven Bill Lowery was a music publisher in Brookhaven beginning in 1955. He operated his music business out of the Gearhart building at 1224 Fernwood Circle, along North Druid Hills Road, VALERIE just east of Peachtree BIGGERSTAFF Road and the railroad tracks.

Lowery came to Atlanta in 1946 to see a Georgia Tech versus University of Alabama football game and ended up relocating to the city. He was a disc jockey at WQXI and later at WGST, where he also broadcasted Georgia Tech football games. He then began hosting a radio show for local singers and songwriters, which led to his career as a music manager, producer and publisher.

Lowery was responsible for launching the careers of Ray Stevens, Sonny James, Jerry Reed, Mac Davis, Joe South, Atlanta Rhythm Section, the Tams, Tommy Roe, Bertie Higgins and Billy Joe Royal.

Ray Stevens was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last week. In an interview with the Country Music Association, Stevens shared that he lived in Clarkdale and Albany, Ga., before moving to Atlanta at age 17. There he met music publisher Lowery, who “encouraged me to write songs” and helped him get a recording contract with Capitol Records.

Stevens continued to work with Lowery from 1957 until 1962, when Stevens decided to move to Nashville. He continued to record his own songs and worked as a session musician on other artists’ recordings.

He recalled one day in Nashville when he recorded his own song at 10 a.m., worked as a session musician for

You might notice driving down Clairmont Road that a portion of the road is named in his honor, Bill Lowery Highway. the recording of “Walk on By” with Leroy Van Dyke at 2 p.m., and then was part of the Joe Dowell recording of “Wooden Heart” at 6 p.m.

Another artist who started with Lowery, Jerry Reed, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017.

Lowery was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1979.

Nancy Carolyn Scruggs worked for Lowery and his record label, National Recording Corporation. She remembers that the Gearhart Building was the old Brookhaven School, and the school auditorium was used as a recording studio. She worked for Lowery from 1958 until 1960, living on Drew Valley Road at the time.

Lowery became known as “Mr. Atlanta Music,” during his years working as a music publisher in Brookhaven. You might notice driving down Clairmont Road that a portion of the road is named in his honor, Bill Lowery Highway. His record company folded in 1961, but he continued in the music business in a new location on Clairmont Road into the 1990s.

Thanks to Bill Lowery and the artists he managed, we now have such songs as “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy” recorded by The Tams, “Dizzy” recorded by Tommy Roe, and “Young Love” recorded

by Sonny James.

“It will be disruptive. I don’t see the benefit of introducing instability when it’s not necessary. It is fiscally irresponsible. When we’re in the midst of a hiring freeze, we should not be paying two people for the same job.”

Walker, CFP cialInaffairs? the creation story, Genesis 1:24 instructs, “Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light, and there was light.’ And seeing that the light was good, God separated the light from the darkness.…”

Privacy is important when it comes to personal, financial, and business affairs. But no one is completely independent. There are people who depend on you and people you depend upon… spouse, adult child, business partner or co-owner, trusted friend, other loved one. When you as the go-to person thinks you aren’t being kept in the loop, purposely, inadvertently, or by willing default, you might say you are “in the

dark.” Is it time to separate the dark in favor of light?

A piece in InvestmentNews (7/8/2019), “Kept In The Dark,” by Mark Schoeff, Jr., focused largely on the challenges faced by widows when a controlling husband is deceased. Schoeff cited a UBS survey of 3,652 women around the world that revealed that 58 percent defer longterm financial decisions to their spouse or ex-spouse. Of those surveyed, 61 percent were married women with at least $1 million in investible assets, savvy couples.

For those born prior to the 1970s B.C., “before computers,” before the microcomputer became ubiquitous, much has changed. In my career as a financial adviser I’ve had confused widows come in with boxes of disorganized paper, even expired stock dividend checks that were never cashed.

Now the mantra is “paperless.” Statements are transmitted electronically.

Dividends and other money disbursements may not be received in check form, but transferred electronically to designated accounts. Stock and bond certificates rarely are held in paper form in a safe deposit box. They exist electronically in “street name” at a custodian. Multiple investment accounts may

be located at any number of custodians such as Pershing, TD Ameritrade, Fidelity, Schwab, major wirehouse or discount brokerage firm.

“Financial stuff” may be all over the place. We call those “scattered assets.”

Who knows where all of your assets are?

How they are managed?

Bills are paid online. No more mailing checks in stamped envelopes. You can deposit checks using your smartphone.

Money is available 24/7 from an ATM. Rather than buying traveler’s checks, modern globetrotters generally prefer ATMs and credit and debit cards with no foreign transaction fees to obtain local currency. “Paper trails” are now password protected electronic trails. Who knows the passwords needed to access digital data if you cannot?

Those born B.C. have become computer savvy in varying degrees. But some resist technology, preferring paper and traditional approaches. Just as you may at some point have taught someone to drive and navigate hectic and confusing traffic, who in your personal or business life needs to be able to drive your affairs if you cannot, if you are dead or disabled?

As advisers, we frequently deal with situations where following a death, no will can be found, or the will is old and obsolete. A named beneficiary, executor, or trustee has died. Powers of attorney for assets and health care are nonexistent in case of incapacity, or they

are old, obsolete, with incapacitated or deceased designees.

For a closely-held business owner, his or her enterprise may constitute 7580 percent of net worth. Yet, too often, no plans are in place to deal with an unexpected transition.

Marist takes down Cedartown 42-22 to advance in playoffs Marist got a record-breaking performance from quarterback Connor Cigelske and advanced to the second round of the AAAA State Playoffs with a 42-22 win over visiting Cedartown Friday night at Hughes Spalding Stadium.

The War Eagles wasted no time scoring as Cigelske raced 59-yards for a Marist touchdown after only two plays from scrimmage. It would be the first of six rushing touchdowns for the senior signal-caller, setting a new school record.

Cedartown responded on their first offensive series, going 80-yards in 11-plays with running back CJ Washington scoring on a 6-yard run to even the score at 7-7. Marist pushed back on their next series when Cigelske connected on a 52-yard pass completion to running back Thomas Rollauer. The War Eagles took the lead 14-7 when Rollauer ran it in from the 2-yard line at the end of the 1st quarter.

The visiting Bulldogs got a 22-yard field goal from Jorge Pineda early in the second quarter to narrow the lead to 14-10.

Neither team gained much ground in ensuing drives until shortly before the half, when Marist, starting on its own 23, hit paydirt again. A 44-yard pass completion to Matthew Houghton, followed by a 31-yard touchdown run for Cigelske gave Marist the lead 21-10 at the half.

MARIST/SPECIAL

Marist advanced to the second round of the AAAA State Playoffs with a 42-22 win over visiting Cedartown Friday night at Hughes Spalding Stadium.

The defenses took charge of the third quarter as neither team could score.

Marist was able to capitalize off a Cedartown muffed punt late in the period, though, and on the first play of the fourth quarter Cigelske ran in from the 6

to put Marist ahead 28-10.

Cedartown then went 60-yards in 6-plays to narrow the lead to 28-16 after missing on a 2-point attempt. Following the score, the Bulldogs attempted an on-side kick that was unsuccessful.

With a short field in front, Marist then went 50-yards in four plays ending with another Cigelske touchdown.

Cedartown scored again on their next series, starting at midfield and ending with a 1-yard touchdown pass play from quarterback Jayden Johnson to Jeremiah Johnson. Another 2-point attempt was unsuccessful.

Cigelske set the Marist School record with his sixth rushing touchdown of the night on the following series with a 17-yard run, breaking Brandon Russell’s 1998 record of five touchdowns in one game.

The touchdown capped the scoring on the night. Cigelske finished the game with 181-yards and went 3-5 in passing for 121-yards.

The Marist defense was able to contain the Bulldogs’ run game, holding them to only 124 yards. Bulldog quarterback Jayden Johnson threw for 308-yards and 2 touchdowns but had 2 costly interceptions that stopped scoring opportunities.

The War Eagles will travel to Columbus to face the Carver Tigers (10-1 and No. 1 seed in Region 1-AAAA) Friday night, kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Carver defeated Richmond Academy 52-7 in their playoff opener.

TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | November 21, 2019 | 11

Dunwoody eyes its new region following 2019 campaign

By BOB FISCELLA For The Crier DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Wildcats are hoping that bigger is better next year when its sports programs move up to the largest high school classification in the state.

Based on an enrollment of 2,258, the Georgia High School Association has reclassified Dunwoody as one of the 45 largest schools in the state, and moved the Wildcats up to 7-AAAAAAA, a region it shares with Norcross, Archer, Discovery, Berkmar and Meadowcreek high schools.

“I think it will be a welcome change,” Dunwoody football coach Mike Nash said. “While we will be in the highest classification, which will be tough, we will be able to play more non-region games. I know the coaches in this new region extremely well and they are all class guys. A few of them are friends of mine, and a couple of them are even high school legends.”

Even though the new region includes perennial powers Archer and Norcross, Dunwoody’s chances of making the playoffs improves because four of the six teams will qualify for the post-season.

“The competition in this new region will be tough, but simply as a numbers game, our chances increase significantly,” Nash said. “No doubt Archer and Norcross will be the teams to beat. They are traditional football powers and have both played in state championships recently.

Those programs are juggernauts.”

Because Dunwoody is moving from a nine-team region to a region with six teams, it will allow Nash to schedule five out-of-region games instead of just two.

Expect the Wildcats to keep rival Chamblee on the schedule as well as add some neighboring schools.

“I am working on (the schedule) now,” Nash said. “I’m close to having it lined up and just need to make it official. It sure is nice to be able to put a schedule together instead of pretty much being handed one.”

The new region, whose five other schools are located in Gwinnett County, marks a homecoming of sorts for Nash, who was born and raised in Gwinnett.

“It is nice to be able to play in Gwinnett again,” Nash said. “Gwinnett coaches have always had a good camaraderie. It’s not just about football with those guys. They are truly co-workers and look after one another.”

The Wildcats are coming off a 3-7 season in which junior quarterback Davis LeDoyen and senior wide receiver Tyler Eith broke most all of the school’s single-season records for passing and receiving. LeDoyen threw for 2,708 yards, not only a Dunwoody record but a DeKalb County record, while Eith’s 86 receptions were a new school and county mark.

“Davis and Tyler both had historic seasons,” Nash said. “Their numbers speak for themselves. However, the whole senior class was exceptional.

David Julian’s numbers (60 receptions, 7 touchdowns) would be the highlight for most teams and get overshadowed by Tyler›s.”

Nash also said senior Jack Hogan, who played on both sides of the ball will be tough to replace.

“Jack never missed a game whether or not he was banged up,” Nash said.

“He played both offense and defense.

He’s just an old school football kid. This group of seniors have laid a solid foundation for us to build on and we are going to try and do just that. Our progress was incredible this year. We are finally competitive almost every Friday night.”

Winter sports tip off at Holy Innocents’

By DUNN NEUGEBAUER For The Crier While Holy Innocents’ continues its drive in the state football playoffs, students in other athletics have already suited up for competition.

The football team, 10-0 on the season, enters the Sweet 16 Saturday when they face St. Francis at Riverwood. Game time is 4:30 p.m. The Bears have been led all year by punishing offensive and defensive lines, a solid triple-option offense, and good kicking games to match.

Basketball The Lady Bears basketball team ripped Marietta High School 63-29 Sat-

urday at Pace Academy in the HawksNaismith Tip-Off Classic.

After winning state last year, coach Nichole Dixon’s squad is off to a 2-0 start after also topping Brookwood last Tuesday.

In the win over Marietta, it was depth as usual for the Bears, with Olivia Hutcherson leading the way with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Jillian Hollingshead also chipped in double-figure scoring with 12, plus 12 rebounds and three steals.

Charlsie Birkel added nine with four rebounds; Naja Reeves recorded eight points, and Jada Farrell had six rebounds to go along with five points.

The Brookwood victory was similar, with Dixon getting help from her

entire starting five and her bench.

Rachel Suttle, Farrell, Hollingshead and Birkel were among the stat leaders.

The Holy Innocents’ boys are off to an 0-2 start after dropping both games last week. The boys fell by 16 points to Brookwood and lost 62-59 to Kipp Saturday.

In the Kipp effort, Chance Moore scored 32 points and grabbed 10 boards, Garrison Powell netted 19, and Justin Wilson and Walker Wolf contributed as well.

“We came out flat as we were down 18-10 after the first quarter,” boys’ coach Cabral Huff said. “We battled back, though, even took a lead in the fourth quarter but just couldn’t hold on.”

Looking ahead, both teams will travel to GAC Thursday. The girls’ tipoff is at 6, followed by the boys’ match at 8 p.m.

Wrestling The Mat Bears opened at the Dunwoody Invitational earlier this month, placing all seven they entered. Defend-

ing state champ and sophomore Jake Swink took first. Art Martinez — fourth in state last year — placed second. Britt Hilton and Charlie King were both third, and Reagan Sherk, Eric Maye, and Israel Evans were all fifth.

Coach Stacey Davis and the team will be off for Thanksgiving break before facing Lovett Dec. 6t at Lovett.

Swimming The swim team has had two meets so far — at GAC and Lovett — with return state champs Spencer Pearson (diving) and Abby Pilkenton (sprints) leading the way. Coach Katrina Nesbitt’s Aqua Bears will return to the pool this week at Riverside Military Academy.

Fortunately, fall sports aren’t over at Holy Innocents’, as the 10-0 football team lines up in the Sweet 16 Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at Riverwood when it faces St. Francis. The Bears have been led all year by punishing offensive and defensive lines, a solid triple-option offense, and good kicking games to match.

ST PIUS X 42, HERITAGE 14

Golden Lions top Heritage to move to second round

By LUKE WINSTEL For The Crier St. Pius X football team defeated Heritage High School 42-14 in the first round of the GHSA AAAA State Football Playoffs. The win improved the squad’s record to 6-5 overall and extended their win streak to three games.

The St. Pius offense was led by running back Cameron Cainion, who amassed 116 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Cameron Wingo rushed for 88 yards and two scores. Quarterback Dennis O’Shea went 4-6 passing for 65 yards and two touchdowns. The St. Pius offense dominated with 375 rushing yards and 440 yards of total offense.

Heritage quarterback Nick Hanson was 18-31 through the air with a pair of touchdowns. The Generals rushing attack struggled with only 22 yards on 11 carries. Sam Randolph had a touchdown grab and a team-leading 60 receiving yards. Heritage had only 223 yards of total offense. Neither team committed a turnover in the game.

In their three-game win streak, the

Golden Lions have outscored opponents 98-42. St. Pius moves up to No. 20 in the MaxPreps Class AAAA rankings. The team has played the classification’s third hardest MaxPreps-rated schedule.

“The Golden Lions had a great performance at Heritage High School,” head coach Paul Standard said.

He praised his team’s offensive line and credited them for the Golden Lions’ success on the ground. He noted that he was pleased with the performance of junior quarterback O’Shea in his third career start. Standard spoke highly of his defense.

“They were outstanding, containing the vaunted General passing attack while holding them to less than 30 yards rushing,” he said.

St. Pius will travel to Woodward Academy for a second-round playoff matchup this Friday at 7:30 p.m. The War Eagles enter the game with an undefeated 11-0 record and are one of only two unbeaten teams in the AAAA classification. Woodward is one of the top 400 teams in the nation according to MaxPreps.com.
