MILTON, Ga. — An Alpharetta man met with police Jan. 17 after he received multiple notices about fraudulent accounts and purchases made using his information. On Jan. 13, the man received a call from his bank about a suspicious transaction. He looked into the matter and realized his email accounts had been hacked. Additionally, someone had used the man’s PayPal to make

Police Blotter

about $3,500 in purchase and had opened a brokerage account using his information. The man said whoever had hacked his email accounts had placed filters on them so he would not see any emails from certain companies, such as PayPal and EBay, about the activity. A few days later, the man also received a Walmart Money Card in his name for which he did not apply.

All crime reports published by Appen Media Group are compiled from public records. Neither the law enforcement agencies nor Appen Media Group implies any guilt by publishing these names. None of the persons listed has been convicted of the alleged crimes.

The man, however, said he thought the calls were a scam and ignored them. After the credit check, the man found two accounts with phone companies made under his name that had about $5,000 in fraudulent charges.

Electronics stolen from department store

Letter tips woman to attempted fraud

MILTON, Ga. — Police cited a man Jan. 19 in connection with a shoplifting incident at the Walmart on Windward Parkway. Police had been patrolling in the area that day when a Walmart loss prevention officer flagged down a nearby patrol car. The loss prevention officer said a man had just fled after shoplifting from the store and provided a description of the alleged shoplifter’s car. Police were able to find the car nearby and stopped the driver. Store footage showed the driver had taken several items, including a television, out of the store without paying for anything. The combined value of the items is over $400. Police cited the man, 27-year-old Allan Moreau of Johns Creek, for shoplifting.

MILTON, Ga. — An Alpharetta woman contacted police Jan. 17 after she realized someone had stolen her identity. The woman had received a letter that day from a bank notifying her that her credit card application had been rejected. The woman had not applied for the credit card. The woman contacted the bank to report the fraud, and a representative advised her to file a police report.

Man learns of fraud during check of credit MILTON, Ga. — An Alpharetta man contacted police Jan. 22 after he learned of fraudulent activity during a credit check. As a part of his home buying process, the man completed a credit check and noticed some suspicious activity. The man had received several calls from his phone company months prior about strange charges on his account.

Gun stolen from truck MILTON, Ga. — Police are investigating the Jan. 22 theft of a gun from a truck. The car owner met with police that afternoon to report that a gun he had kept in his truck’s glovebox. He had last seen the gun the previous night. The man said he usually locks his truck, but he wasn’t sure if it had been locked that night.

Owner captures photo of man burglarizing car ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are looking for a man suspected of participating in a Jan. 13 car burglary at the LifeTime Fitness on North Point

Parkway. The victim called police that morning after he saw the suspect, a man, underneath his car attempting to remove something. He took a photo of the suspect as he left. Police found a power tool battery near the victim’s car. They said the car’s catalytic converter had been cut out.

Valuables taken from car parked at local restaurant ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta man reported Jan. 10 that his car had been burglarized while parked at a restaurant on Windward Parkway. The car owner parked at the restaurant at 6 p.m. About three hours later, he exited and saw the passenger’s side rear mirror was broken. Several items were missing from his car.

City revises trail plan for connection with Big Creek Greenway By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton is one step closer to connecting with the Big Creek Greenway. The city approved a contract Jan. 22 to begin early engineering for paths beginning at Cambridge High School that will eventually connect to the Greenway. An updated GDOT plan calls for connecting and constructing sidewalks beginning along Cogburn Road near Cambridge High School that will connect with paths along Webb Road and Morris road north to McGinnis Ferry. Those paths will link with the interchange at McGinnis Ferry Road and Ga. 400, which is currently in its design phase. GDOT’s intersection plan calls for trails that will connect to the Big Creek Greenway at Union Hill Park in Alpharetta. The trails along Cogburn Road, Webb Road and Morris Road will come with federal funding. The city showed favor for accepting the federal dollars last March, which will include $400,000 for preliminary engineering with a $100,000 match from Milton.

The City Council approved an agreement with Pond & Company consultants at its Jan. 22 meeting to begin the initial stages of engineering the project. The preliminary engineering phase should be completed by the end of the year. The project is among several potential connections to the Greenway. The concept study was funded by the cities of Milton and Alpharetta, the North Fulton Community Improvement District and federal dollars. Milton Transportation Engineer Sara Leaders outlined the results of the study at last week’s City Council meeting. One option could be connecting to the trailhead at Marconi Drive in Alpharetta via Windward Parkway, or using Windward Parkway to tie into a future Greenway connection by Forsyth County and Alpharetta. Another plan outlined the potential for the TSPLOST-funded widening of Morris Road. The outline includes a multi-use path on the northern side of the thoroughfare up to Bethany Bend, which could allow for a connection in Forsyth County. Leaders said a connection along Webb Bridge Road identified in the study could be sidetracked because of GDOT’s

CITY OF MILTON/SPECIAL

managed lane project on Ga. 400, which calls for placing an interchange near there. The study also drew a pedestrian

connection beginning at the eastern end of Webb Road across Ga. 400. However, Leaders said this is a long-range project and it has no funding.

Fulton School Board called out on limited access meetings Reeves uses vote to push for cameras in pre-work sessions By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A recent split vote on the Fulton County Board of Education highlights concerns one member has over the issue of public access. At the Jan. 14 School Board meeting, member Katie Reeves cast the lone dissent on an otherwise routine vote to elect a new board president and vice president. The five-term board member from North Fulton said she fully supports the new officers, but cast the “nay” vote to highlight her increasing concerns over the board’s transparency. “Over the past year I’ve come to realize the board officers and I may have differing views on accountability and transparency,” Reeves said in a written statement. “I made several suggestions to change our process…but the board took a vote and I was the only one who felt that way.” She said her concerns focus on the board’s increasing use of pre-work sessions to discuss items prior to the monthly work session and formal board meeting. While work sessions and board meetings are streamed live and recorded, pre-work sessions are not. Board retreats, held several times a year, are also not on camera.

“Pre-work session on camera would enable our vast constituency to observe the issues the board discusses around policy,” Reeves wrote. “By the time policies make it to the agenda (of work sessions or formal meetings) they have been significantly vetted and there is little discussion.” Traditionally, the board has relied on its monthly work session to discuss agenda items prior to voting at the official board meeting. Reeves is concerned the “real” discussions are now taking place in the prework sessions which have limited public access because of location and logistics. A spokesman for Fulton Schools said the pre-work sessions are held in both north and south Fulton and open to anyone who wishes to attend. He did acknowledge very few members of the public attend. “Participation in all meetings varies by interest,” said Brian Noyes, Fulton Schools communication director. “Pre-work sessions and retreats have lower attendance than the monthly board meetings.” North Fulton residents who wish attend a pre-work session in South Fulton face up to a 50-mile drive through Atlanta to attend the location in Union City. South Fulton residents traveling to the meeting location in Sandy Springs also face a long drive.

Noyes said the pre-work session is a “valuable part of the process” the board uses to make decisions. “Pre-work sessions, which I am told began in 2017 but had been used in various cases in the past, along with board retreats, are used to bring items before the board for their initial feedback in order to create a collaborative approach to developing plans and policies,” Noyes said. A review of pre-work sessions since 2017 shows an increasing reliance on these “off camera” meetings. In 2017 only three pre-work sessions were held, all on single-issue topics including the budget process and construction updates. In 2018, the number grew to six. Each addressed issues relating to budget, construction and hot-button topics like the financial impact of a senior exemption. In 2019, the pre-work sessions escalated to 14 meetings over the course of the year and began to focus on policy issues, such as changes to the curriculum, the authority of the board and the superintendent, employee leave, complaints process, and campaign activities of board members. Additionally, the board held four retreats which, although open to the public, are not taped. Reeves said the shift in focus to policy discussions, along with the escalating number of meetings held without

cameras has her alarmed. In October alone, board members held a two-day retreat and two pre-work sessions. “I fully support [Superintendent Mike Looney’s] effort to implement a new process of reviewing our policies, in fact I think it shows great promise,” Reeves said. “[However] much of the rich board discussion happens in an open meeting in the middle of the day that is not on camera.” The pre-work sessions do not violate the state’s Open Meeting Act which requires public access and published notice of any meeting where a quorum of board members assemble to discuss official business. The law has no requirement for streaming or taping meetings. The Fulton School Board, however, is not providing “board briefs” of the pre-work sessions which summarizes the content of the meeting. Board briefs are made available for work sessions and the monthly board meetings. Reeves said while she is disappointed the board will not consider televising the pre-work sessions, she respects the board’s decisions. “Of course, now that the board has taken a position, I will fully support it, just as I fully support our new board officers,” she said. Julia Bernath (Sandy Springs) was elected board president and Linda Bryant (South Fulton) is vice president.

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA

Speaking of fishing, here’s the latest …

STEVE HUDSON Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net

So how’s scuba going? Well, I’m making headway. There is much to report. But I’m going to wait till next week to do so, for there’s some timely fishing news I need to share with you today.

First, the good news: I want to be sure you know about the Atlanta Fly Fishing Show on Friday, Jan. 31 (9 a.m.-6 p.m.) and Saturday, Feb 1 (9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) at the Infinite Energy Center at 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth. If you’re interested in fly fishing, you’ll want to check this one out. On the show floor, you’ll find a vast array of exhibits featuring pretty much everything fly fishing. From rods and reels to flies, boats, trips, travel and more, you’ll find plenty to check out among the many displays. But there’s much more than just exhibits. Education is a highlight of the Fly Fishing Show, and each day features a broad line-up of seminars, programs

and presentations, The list of speakers is impressive, boasting many of the stars of the fly fishing world. Somehow they’ve put me (yes, me) on the list, so I’d like to extend to you a special invitation to drop by and enjoy a couple of presentations by Yours Truly. On Friday at 10 a.m., in Destination Theater Room A, I”ll be talking about “Getting Started In Saltwater Fly Fishing.” If you’ve never tried fly fishing in the salt, you’re in for a treat — and this program will give you the info you need to jump right in! I’ll even teach you a key knot for use when tying on saltwater flies, and I just might even share a few of my favorite saltwater spots! Then, on Saturday, at 10 a.m. in the “Catch” seminar hall, I’ll be presenting “Chattahoochee Trout: An Overview.” This program, based on my book “Chattahoochee Trout: The Definitive Guide,” takes you on a tour of all of the Chattahoochee’s trout water from the extreme headwaters up in the mountains down to the lowermost trout water inside I-285 near Paces Mill in Atlanta. There’s a lot more going on too. You’ll find live fly tying demonstrations by some of the world’s top experts. You’ll be able learn from the experts during a

variety of casting demonstrations. Additionally, at the Fly Fishers Learning Center you can learn about fly tying, fly casting and more. There’s a special fly fishing seminar (on Saturday) especially for women too. These are all included in your admission. In addition, a number of focused paid classes are available. One-day admission for adults is $15, with a two-day pass running $25. Admission is $5 for children 6-12, and kids 5 and under are free. Scouts under 16 in uniform get in free, and military personnel with ID get in for $10. Note that tickets are cash only at the gate, though advance tickets can be purchased online at flyfishingshow.com/atlanta. Now the bad news: I hate to say it, but cybercrime has come to the world of fishing. According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, a scam fishing license website has been identified by the Georgia DNR’s Law Enforcement Division. That’s especially troublesome since fishing season is rapidly approaching and since many will be buying or renewing licenses in the next couple of months. The scam site appears as an advertise-

Signed copies are available direct from the author at ChattahoocheeMedia.com. ment during a Google search for “Georgia Fishing License.” The site allows you to enter personal information such as name, date of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license number, phone number, email address and residential address. It gathers all of this info but then never asks for payment for the license. The fake website appears to have been created outside the United States, and Georgia DNR’s Law Enforcement Division is working to get it shut down. Hopefully, by the time you read this, it will be gone. If you or anyone you know has provided personal info to this fraudulent site, please reach out to DNR’s Law Enforcement Division’s Investigative Unit at (770) 918-6408. You’re also encouraged to file a police report with your local law enforcement agency and to monitor/ freeze your credit.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Will to Live Foundation is putting on its 10th annual 5K fun run Saturday, Feb. 1 to raise awareness of teen suicide and sponsor mental health education. The Where There’s A Will, There’s a Way race is a staple event for the Will to Live Foundation, which was created by Johns Creek parents in 2010 after the suicide of their son, Will Trautwein. Will was 15 years old, a freshman and athlete at Northview High. The Centers for Disease Control estimates about 6 percent of teens have been diagnosed with depression, and more than 10 percent with anxiety. The number of people affected by mental illness is likely higher, as more than half of people who die by suicide were not known to have a mental illness, CDC data shows. “We were just shocked by his death and obviously devastated as well,” Will’s father John Trautwein said. “We thought he was perfect … None of us were educated in any way, shape or form about depression or mental illness, or the fact

Milton gets needed access to new park through agreement with school By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton and Porter Academy have signed a formal agreement to share a space on Cox Road that will give park visitors a much-needed access point. The city’s newest park, the former United Sports Complex, was purchased earlier this month. The agreement permits the school to use the park’s fields for outdoor activities and PE classes. In exchange, the school will allow park visitors access through a gate at the rear of the academy’s property, which will provide drivers with an easier ingress and egress from the parks’ entrance along Cox Road. Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge said the access point is crucial because of the traffic pattern at the intersection of Cox Road and Arnold Mill Road and the location of the park’s existing driveway. Additional parking for those attending the park will also be available because of the agreement. The contract is a formal version of similar agreements the school has arranged with the complex’s three previous owners, and Cregge said it “made sense” to continue the partnership. Milton finalized the purchase of the complex earlier this month for $1.5 million through the city’s impact fees dedicated to parks and trails improvement and from the parks and trail improvement capital fund.

raised $25,000, enough to fund signs of suicide training for teachers and coaches in every Fulton County Public school. Since then, The Will to Live Foundation has funded mental illness training in schools across the country. The group also supports counseling nonprofits and grants scholarships. Outside the Trautwein family, the organization and its events are largely

Resources Anyone who is or knows someone who is struggling with a crisis or is at risk of suicide is urged to reach out for help. Possible warning signs vary from individual to individual but can include: • Feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, trapped or like a burden • Reckless behavior, including increased use of drugs or alcohol

The site includes two full-sized, grass multi-use fields and a half-sized turf field. The complex is fully lighted and has on-site bathrooms. There are also two buildings on the site. While Cregge said the structure closest to Cox Road in not currently usable, the southern building has bathrooms, a meeting room for coaches, an office and a storage room for field maintenance equipment. The purchase will help mitigate fieldspace issues the city has faced while its sports programming continues to grow. Cregge said the city will begin transitioning some of its boys and girls lacrosse from Bell Memorial Park to the new park. The fields can now be rented through the city with the City Council approving fees at its Jan. 22 meeting. Residents can rent the fields with a $100 refundable security deposit. Fees for renting one field are $50 per hour without lights and $75 with lighting with a minimum rental of two hours. Non-Milton residents will still be able to rent the fields, but the city will tack on an additional 50 percent on rental fees, and city residents and organizations will still have priority. Since finalizing the purchase, Cregge said the city has focused on preparing the site for use next month. While he said the city will develop plans for potential improvements, there is no timeline for when that work could start. managed by teenagers. John Trautwein says this teens-helping-teens model shows them they are not alone. “It’s one of those very rare events, where it’s the teenagers dragging their parents and family members,” he said. “The pride these kids take in this event is very special.” In addition to the race, the foundation puts on an annual Willstock concert with teen bands. John Trautwein is also a motivational speaker and has published a book, “My Living Will,” about his family’s story.

We have designed a new healthcare destination that includes advanced technologies and services to meet the evolving needs of our patients and communities. Jon-Paul Croom, president of WellStar North Fulton Hospital 10 | Milton Herald | January 30, 2020

New managed lanes promise hope for our tangled traffic If you are tired of looking at traffic along I-285 and Ga. 400, I have a solution: Watch GDOT’s new video of its planned managed express lanes. There is very little traffic in those videos. Geoff smith Assurance Financial, Kidding aside, gsmith@lendtheway.com GDOT just released a video of what it would look like if it followed through on its plan to build express lanes across the top of I-285 and up along Ga. 400. If you thought it’s already starting to look spaghetti-like with the new construction, wait until you see this video. The managed express lanes would essentially be two new lanes in each direction on those highways. The new lanes would be managed in a way that the speed limit never got below a designated number, say 45 miles per hour. And they would make way for a new mass transit system called Bus Rapid Transit, which is like a rail system, just with buses. Drivers would have to pay to ride in the express lanes, and as the car speeds on those lanes decreased, prices to occupy those lanes would increase, thus lessening the number of cars moving on to them.

Traffic is certainly the source of many Atlantan’s ills. While everybody agrees something needs to be done, no one wants to agree on how we can fix it. Stopping all development is not an option, unless folks want to tell our businesses to stop creating jobs and go elsewhere. We have averaged more than 60,000 people a year moving to the city for the last 10 years. And it’s because our business community is thriving here, creating almost the same amount of jobs every year. There was a strong push about five years ago to fund the extension of MARTA rail up Ga. 400, but North Fulton officials could not agree and the push stopped. Some of the thinking is that our entire transportation system is fumbling its way through a crossroads, and no one can say for sure how it will look in another five to 10-years. Driverless cars are more than a workable concept, they are on the roads today. I rode in a Tesla last year with a friend who programed in our destination and then purposefully didn’t look out his windshield for the remainder of the 15-minute ride. Between that and folks getting more and more comfortable with ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft, it’s easy to imagine a system where self-driven buses move swiftly and consistently throughout our communities. With that in mind, some officials

were not ready to spend the roughly $250 million a mile it would have taken to extend a rail system that wouldn’t have been operational for another six to 10 years. So now we have the express lane idea. And for those of you who will decry “no more road widening!” GDOT has a solution for most of that. A large portion of the new lanes would actually float above the highways, almost identical to what runs over I-75 north of I-285. Many say this has significantly improved traffic flow in Cobb County. I always say that the silver lining of our traffic woes is that this is a sign of At-

lanta’s success. There are many metropolitan areas that wish they had our traffic. I say that because it’s true. We can either keep being the place where companies want to move so they can thrive, or be some other place. Cities are either improving and growing, or they are dying. The new managed lanes, if built, would give GDOT the ability to put in a flexible mass transit system much quicker than if it decided to extend heavy rail. And by the way, I’ve talked to local officials who tell me to still not count out the extension of heavy rail. Traffic certainly won’t be as free-flowing as it looks in the video. But there is no doubt it will have a significant impact.

Conducting seminars is an efficient method of attracting customers

dick jones

Founder & President Jones Simply Sales

Are you having trouble attracting new customers? Have you ever wished you could convey your message to a lot of potential customers at the same time? Conducting seminars is a very productive way to save time and attract new customers. Most small busi-

ness owners think that the only way to get new business is to meet with new prospects, and they are right. They just go about that process in a suboptimal way. Driving to a prospect’s business, meeting for an hour or so, then driving to the next meeting takes a lot of time. Having prospects come to you and spending approximately the same amount of time with them while conducting a seminar allows you to communicate with many people at the same time and saves a lot of time.

Seminars are not meant to be a selling event but more of an educational or communication venue for you to convey important information about a particular subject to many people at the same time. The first step in conducting a seminar is to determine who you want to invite and what you are going to talk about. Promoting the seminar comes next, and there are a lot of avenues you can utilize to get the word out. Many small business owners who already do this use

email, newspaper ads, direct mail and social media to maximize attendance. Making it easy to sign up and offering something for attending will attract more attendees. Conducting seminars to generate awareness and interest in your product or service is a great way to get the word out simultaneously to a lot of people. Including seminars as a part of your overall marketing and sales strategy will help you to attract new customers and grow your small business.

Knights boys down Mount Pisgah to remain perfect in region play St. Francis girls notch region win ahead of tourney By ZACH SHUGAN news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — St. Francis boys basketball defeated Mount Pisgah Saturday at home to remain perfect in region play and secure the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Region 6-A tournament. After a fast-paced, back-and-forth first quarter, the Knights led 18-17 over the Patriots (17-5, 10-4). Chase Tucker (17 points) nailed backto-back 3-pointers for Mount Pisgah to close out the second quarter, and the Patriots took a 34-33 lead into halftime. St. Francis senior and Xavier University commit Dwon Odom had a relatively quiet first half after being held to just two points in the first quarter. In the second half, Odom showed why he is considered one of the top senior guards while leading the Knights’ offense. A 3-pointer by Odom put the Knights up 46-43 late in the third quarter, and it was the last time the lead would change hands. In the fourth quarter, St. Francis pulled away and put the finishing touch on their 14th region win of the season.

“We had to get stops,” St. Francis head coach Drew Catlett said. “We weren’t getting enough stops in a row in the first half, and we were settling for quick jump shots, which gave them more possessions. We started to get some stops in the second half.” Senior Chase Ellis netted 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists for the Knights (20-3, 14-0). Prior to the game, Odom was called to center court and surprised with a commemorative basketball to celebrate passing the 2,000 career points mark. He finished his night with 24 points to add on to that total, along with five rebounds and five assists. “The kid’s numbers are astonishing,” Catlett said. “He’s over 2,000 points. He has over 800 assists. He’ll probably finish with over 700 rebounds as a guard. He’s just the ultimate competitor. He loves to win. He doesn’t stop.” Odom is the second player in St. Francis history to reach the 2,000 career points milestone. The first was 2016 alum Kobi Simmons, who went on to play col-

Local programs fare well at state dual wrestling championships By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON/FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Five North Fulton and Forsyth County wrestling teams earned bids to the dual state wrestling championships Jan. 16-18, and all had strong showings. West Forsyth and Blessed Trinity took third place, and Cambridge and Mount Pisgah were fourth in their respective classes. The state meet took place at the Macon Centreplex. West Forsyth West Forsyth improved on its 2019 finish in the consolation semifinals by advancing to and winning the Class 7A third-place match. West was led by Dylan Fairchild who accumulated 30 points with five pins in five matches. Ethan Rickert was close behind with 28 points behind with four pins and a major decision win. The Wolverines cruised through the first round and won 13 of their 14 matches to down Newnan, 74-6 in team scores. West earned another lopsided, 55-15 win in the second round over Rockdale County. Noah Amick, Chase Murray Will Phipps Daba Fofana, Spencer Bovenizer and Fairchild won by pins with Christian Walker and Brody Knapp winning by decision. After dominating its opening two matchups, West fell on the other side of the coin with a 59-10 loss to eventual state champions Camden County. The loss put West in the consolation

semifinals against Brookwood for the second straight year. The Wolverines flipped the script on the Broncos, taking a 48-32 win to avenge last year’s loss. In the third-place match, Cam Westray (decision), Dominic Cooper (major decision), Rickert (pin), Creston Lorenzo (pin), Lance Corcimiglia (decision) and Bovenizer (pin) won to power West to a 34-25 win over Archer to secure third in the state meet. North Forsyth Following a one-year absence from the state dual meet, North Forsyth returned this year and reached the consolation semifinals. The Raiders cruised in the opening two rounds and took down East Coweta 57-10 and beat Brookwood, 44-18. North fell to eventual state runner-up Collins Hill in the semifinals and were matched up with Archer in the consolation semifinals. Archer dominated the lower weight classes, but North won seven of the eight matchups in the higher weight classes. Cale Bissel, Tate Bissell, Bentley Wheeler, Tristan Graham, Andrew Sexton, Mason Butcher and Eli Edwards all captured wins, but the Raiders fell short of advancing with Archer taking the contest, 37-31. Cambridge Cambridge had a strong showing in Class 6A competition, and the Bears took fourth in the state tournament. Gavin Kane scored five pins in as

many matches to lead the Bears with Evan Kurtz recording four pins and a technical fall. Kyle Romano earned three pins, a technical fall and an 11-4 decision as Cambridge’s third wrestler to go undefeated in the tournament. The Bears opened the meet with a win over Lanier for the second straight season, taking down the Longhorns 5724. Cambridge had another familiar opponent in the second round, Alexander, who downed the Bears in the quarterfinals last year. The Bears reversed their fortunes, however, and earned a 43-28 win over the Cougars. Kurtz, Mike Hudson, Connor McHugh, Mason Truncale, Jason Romano, Ben Werth, Kyle Romano, Brendan Boyd and Kane all won their matches against Alexander. The Bears advanced to the semifinals with the win but then fell to state runner-up Richmond Hill. Cambridge bounced back in the consolation semifinals and won nine of its 12 matches against Brunswick to advance to the third-place match. Cambridge’s meeting with Creekview went back and forth, but Creekview ultimately took the battle of the Bears, 35-30. Cullen Kane, Werth, Kyle Romano, Gavin Kane, Kurtz and Hudson won their matches against Creekview. Blessed Trinity The Titans improved on their 2019 showing and captured third place in Class 4A competition. BT rolled over Madison County in the opening round, 58-21, then advanced

to the semifinals with a 44-30 win over Northwest Whitfield. The Titans were relegated to the consolation bracket with a 50-28 loss to state champs Woodward Academy. Thomas Riordan, Joey Moroski, Patrick Riordan, Kevin Daniels, Gunner Filipowicz, Aaron Werkheiser, Nick Anderson, Mavrick Torrico and Nick Pirinelli all won their matchups with West Laurens to power a 48-30 win to send the team to the third-place match. The Titans took advantage of the opportunity and downed Northwest Whitfield, 46-21, for third place. Gunner Filipowicz went 5-0 in the tournament with five pins. Mount Pisgah Mount Pisgah continued its streak of notable performances at the team dual state meets by placing fourth in Class A competition.

lege basketball at Arizona and now plays professionally for the Charlotte Hornets. Girls: St. Francis 84, Mount Pisgah 43 The first time the girls squads of St. Francis and Mount Pisgah faced off this season, the Knights put up over 100 points. While St. Francis didn’t reach the century mark this time around, the Knights cruised to a 40-point victory and remained undefeated in region play Saturday night with an 84-43 rout. St. Francis quietly jumped out to a double-digit lead in the first quarter and took a 27-11 lead into the second quarter. By halftime, the margin grew to 55-21 behind the Knights’ suffocating defense and transition offense. It was a sloppy half, however, as the two teams combined for over 20 fouls and over 30 attempts from the free throw line. “Moving into the region tournament and the state playoffs, we have to start

Our defense is what we thrive off of, so we have to apply pressure sooner and create turnovers.” Entering the second half with a 34-point lead, the Knights kept their foot pressed firmly on the gas pedal until the closing minutes of the game. St. Francis senior and Oregon State commit Savannah Samuel finished with 24 points and seven rebounds, and senior Notre Dame commit Amirah Abdur-Rahim added 16 points and nine rebounds. Mount Pisgah freshman Monet Dance stood out in the loss for the Patriots (10-7, 6-5). Going up against double teams and the Knights’ full-court press all night, Dance finished the game with 30 points. Other than Dance, the Patriots struggled to find any offensive success. “We thrive off defense,” Kennedy said. “We work on transition a lot. If we turn people over, we get scoring out of transition. That’s who we are.” The Knights improved to 19-3 overall and 10-0 in region play. bushes, replacing the pipe tiki torches, and unearthing and rotating stones. Vumsee Polisetti, of Troop 629, was sponsored by Mt. Pisgah United Methodist Church. He refurbished the dig tables for Autrey Mill Nature Preserve and Heritage Center. Polisetti’s work included cleaning and sanding the tables, patching holes on the sifting table and constructing two new lids for the tables. Tyler Berenguer, of Troop 1459, was sponsored by St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church. He improved the trail that connects St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church to a nearby senior center. The improvements included leveling the trail so it would be wheel-chair and walker accessible. Berenguer also constructed two benches for the trail.
