Police: Drug used to save man from heroin OD Cops: Victim revived using naloxone, then declines hospital trip

By Joshua Sharpe

It’s said that if the sun’s going to rise, it first has to set, that joy is best if it comes after sorrow, that there’s no true triumph at the crest of the greatest peak without a dip in the deepest valley.

The following story operates on such principals.

Some Gwinnett County police officers reportedly saved the life of a man believed to be overdosing on heroin, a man who seemed dead until he did not. That is the peak to which these policemen carried him upon their proverbial shoulders.

This story has two val-

leys.

The first is heroin, the gutter drug claiming too many lives in this county and many others.

Experts will tell you that; so will anyone with common sense to know that one is too many and that it’s worse to know Gwinnett County has seen recordbreaking numbers in heroin

deaths every year since 2013. The stats crept up in cruelty from 12 that first year to 16 the next to 22 in even early counts for 2015.

Still others fell last year to a combination of heroin and its more-deadly cousin, fentanyl.

The second valley comes at the end of this account.

But first, the beginning:

Officer, K-9 praised for Runners preview May race at Norcross quarry their service

The Meadowcreek High School Cross Country team and its coaches have run challenging courses before, but few — if any — can compare to the one they ran on Wednesday afternoon.

This particular course was a rock quarry after all.

The team was part of a group of about 35 runners who ran a 1.5-mile course into the Vulcan Materials Company quarry in Norcross as part of a preview for the upcoming Quarry Crusher Atlanta Run. “It’s very unique and very scenic,” Meadowcreek Coach Aimee Walthall said. “It’s not a site you would normally see on a morning run, or even in a cross country race.

It’s a great leg workout and very challenging.”

The Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District will present the Quarry Crusher Run next month at the Vulcan Materials Quarry in Norcross at 8 a.m. on May 21. The event is part of the Quarry Crusher Run Series, where participants run down into a quarry pit and back out.

The event will raise money for the Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundations, as well as Meadowcreek cluster, which includes Meadowcreek elementary and high schools, and Louise Radloff Middle School.

“The needs are great (but) the administrations are exceptional,” school board member Louise Radloff said.

“They take care of the whole kid, from being a parent, to being an administrator to being a teacher, and to have members of the business community like Vulcan involved and supporting us is a major help.”

The Snellville mayor and City Council on Monday night offered best wishes in retirement to a city police officer and his K-9 partner.

Sgt. Will Collins and K-9 Bart were honored at the council meeting with a proclamation presented by Mayor Tom Witts. Collins joined the department in 2002, becoming a K-9 handler and partnering with Bart in 2008.

Welch said they appreciated the support they get from Vulcan throughout the year as a partner in education, and liked that it promotes healthy lifestyles as well.

“I haven’t had a business partner who is as dedicated as Vulcan has been,” Welch said. “They’ve been consistent every year and this is just another layer.”

There will be two races: One that lasts 3.7 miles and a Double Crusher Run that lasts 7.4 miles. Runners who participate in the race will find themselves challenged in a way that few other races can match.

For starters, no other race series takes its runners into an active quarry, on an off road surface cut deep into the

Earth. Officials added that the grades in some parts of the course exceed 10 percent for more than a mile.

Gwinnett Village spokesman Joel Wascher said the CID had been looking to do a race or “some other type of signature event” in the area for about a year, but See quarry, Page 7a

Deal signs bills from Gwinnett legislators into law Gov. Nathan Deal signed a pair of bills from Gwinnett County legislators dealing with the state’s foster care system and access to health care provider directories into law on Tuesday.

House Bill 887 was sponsored by state Rep. Chuck Efstration, R-Dacula, Chuck to help Efstration children in the foster care system by putting a priority on placing them in the care of family members or kinship caregivers when it’s in their best interest. The bill also gives families another tool in caring for the children by creating a Power of Attorney document they can use when needed.

“This legislation prioritizes the safety and well-being of Georgia’s children,” Efstration said in a statement. “I am very proud of the work by the General Assembly to put the needs of the child first and recognize the availability of outstanding caregivers in our State.”

Meanwhile, Senate Bill 302 was backed by Sen. P.K. Martin, P.K. Martin R-Lawrenceville, and mandates that health insurance companies and health maintenance organizations must make up-to-date health care provider network directories available to customers in print and on

“Senate Bill 302 is a big win for Georgia consumers,” Martin said in a statement. “There’s nothing more frustrating than spending hours trying to track down a list of in-network providers, and then finding out the information is incorrect.

SB302 ensures Georgians can access important and accurate plan information online or request a printed version.”

Mill Creek student wins Hice’s congressional art competition A high school student from eastern Gwinnett County will have her artwork displayed in the halls of Congress later this year.

U.S. Rep. Jody Hice’s office announced on Tuesday that Mill Creek High School senior Bianca Robinson won top honors in the 10th Congressional District Art Competition.

Robinson’s charcoal drawing, “Reflection,” bested more than about 52 pieces of artwork entered by high school students from across the 10th Congressional District.

As the first-place winner in her congressional district, Robinson’s artwork will displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol as part

“Each year, it’s a thrill to see high school artists in the 10th District showcase their talents,” Hice said in a statement. “Every student involved in this competition deserves special recognition, and I hope that they will all continue to enrich our community with their outstanding artistic abilities ...

“I look forward to seeing Bianca’s artwork in the Capitol. I would also like to thank our judges, who had a particularly difficult job choosing between so many exceptional submissions, and all of our student’s teachers, who continue to help and encourage students throughout our community to express themselves through art.”

Meadowcreek students take runner-up slots in Johnson’s art contest A pair of students from Meadowcreek High School were among the top four winners in the 4th Congressional District Art Competition.

U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson’s office announced on Monday that senior Jose Gomez was the first runner-up in the competition while fellow senior Terrell Reese was the second runner-up. Gomez earned a $12,000 scholarship to the Art Institute of Atlanta for his work, “Equality,” while Reese received a $7,500 scholarship form the school for his work, “Lost Ones.”

Gomez’s work will also be put on display in Johnson’s district office for the

next year.

“Every year, it warms my heart how such a diverse and talented group of students compete in this annual event,” Johnson said in a statement. “Again this year, we see the vision and artistry of Fourth District students on full display.”

Republican women honor office-holders at celebration The Gwinnett County Republican Women’s Club recently took time to recognize 10 Republican women who hold offices in the county during a ceremony in Suwanee.

The club announced the honorees included: state Sen. Renee Unterman, state Reps. Valerie Clark and Joyce Chandler, coun-

ty commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash, Commissioner Lynette Howard, Judges Carla Brown and Kathy Schrader, Solicitor General Rosanna Szabo and school board members Mary Kay Murphy and Carole Boyce.

Each honoree received a Certificate of Recognition during the event.

“We look forward to this being an annual event as we know there are so many more women that deserve this acknowledgement,” club president Carol Field said in a statement. “We have agreed, as a club, that we will be more active in supporting ‘Women in Politics.’”

Keith Roach

No effective treatment for disease DEAR DR. ROACH: My 58-year-old daughter has Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. She started to have memory problems in April 2015. I know this disease is rare, and I can’t find out much about it. Most people and even some doctors have never heard of it. We know she doesn’t have long to live, because she can’t feed or take care of herself. Needless to say, I am heartbroken. Is this something her children should worry about? I hope to learn more about this terrible disease.

— B.R. ANSWER: I am very sorry to hear it. Of all the many diseases, physicians fear the degenerative neurological diseases the most.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease comes in several forms; 90 percent of the time, it is sporadic CreutzfeldtJakob disease, caused by a genetic mutation that causes accumulation of a prion protein in the brain.

This prion is infectious. In the past, improper sterilization and transplants led to transmission of the disease.

Transmission of prion protein seems to be the cause of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, of which there are about 225 reported cases in the world’s literature, mostly from the U.K., and probably related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, so-called mad cow disease.

It is believed that no cases of variant CreutzfeldtJakob have been acquired in the U.S. There is a familial type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, reported most commonly in Libya, Chile and Hungary. It is caused by a different gene mutation, and is distinguished molecularly. There is usually a family history.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease shows rapidly progressive neurologic damage, including memory, behavior and abnormal movements. There is no effective treatment, and death usually occurs within a year of symptom onset.

More information is available at www.ninds. nih.gov/index.htm by typing “Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease” in the search box.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

world&nation world Suspect in Paris attacks extradited to France, under investigation PARIS — Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam was placed under formal investigation on terrorism and murder charges in France on Wednesday after his extradition from Belgium, and he promised to talk to judges during his next hearing, his French lawyer said.

A Belgium-born Frenchman, Abdeslam is believed by investigators to be the sole survivor among a group of Islamist militants who killed 130 people in a spate of shootings and suicide bombings in Paris on Nov. 13.

“The investigation will determine to what degree he was involved in the acts … for which he has been put under investigation,” lawyer Frank Berton said after an initial hourlong hearing.

“He stayed silent today but said he would talk at a later stage,” Berton said, adding that the next hearing was set for May 20.

Abdeslam did not speak on Wednesday because he was tired after a “quite rough” extradition, Berton said.

Turkey’s PM: New constitution to keep secularism ANKARA — Turkey’s new constitution will retain secularism as a principle, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Wednesday, playing down comments from the parliamentary speaker who caused a public uproar by calling for a religious national charter.

Speaker Ismail Kahraman said this week that overwhelmingly Muslim Turkey needed a religious constitution, a proposal at odds with the modern republic’s founding principles.

He later said his comments were “personal views” and that the new constitution should guarantee religious freedoms.

“In the new constitution which we are preparing, the principle of secularism will be included as one guaranteeing individuals’ freedom of religion and faith, and the state’s equal distance to all faith groups,” Davutoglu said in a speech to members of his ruling AK Party.

Foes seek recall of Venezuela leader in unrest CARACAS — Venezuela’s opposition launched a signature drive on Wednesday seeking a referendum to remove President Nicolas Maduro as sporadic looting and protests over the economic crisis were reported.

The Democratic Unity coalition gathered supporters in public spaces around the country to start collecting the 1 percent of voters’ signatures, nearly 200,000, needed to trigger the next phase towards a possible recall referendum.

Maduro, 53, who succeeded his late mentor Hugo Chavez, has seen his popularity plummet due to a brutal recession, triple-digit inflation, widespread shortages and long lines at shops.

Hastert sentenced 15 months

By Fiona Ortiz and Justin Madden Reuters

CHICAGO — Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, once one of the country’s most powerful politicians, was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 months in federal prison for a financial crime related to sexual abuse of high school wrestlers he coached decades ago.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Durkin called Hastert a serial sex abuser in handing down the sentence, which was longer than the zero to six months recommended by federal prosecutors. Durkin said the sentence would have been even longer if it weren’t for Hastert’s age, 74, and poor health.

Frail and clinging to a walker, Hastert apologized for sexually abusing boys when he was a teacher and coach in his hometown of Yorkville.

“I’m sorry to those I hurt and misled. I wanted to apologize for the boys I mistreated,” Hastert told Durkin at the two-hour sentencing hearing in federal court in Chicago.

The judge asked him if he acknowledged sexual abuse of his victims, and Hastert said he did.

nation Republican Cruz names Fiorina as running mate INDIANAPOLIS — U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, in a last-ditch bid to slow frontrunner Donald Trump’s momentum, on Wednesday named former business executive Carly Fiorina to be his vice presidential running mate if he wins the nomination.

After suffering a series of crushing losses to Trump in nominating contests on Tuesday, Cruz praised Fiorina as a principled fighter for conservative values who knew how to create jobs and would be a valuable ally on the campaign trail.

“She is careful. She is measured. She is serious,” Cruz said. “She doesn’t get rattled.”

Fiorina, 61, dropped her own White House bid in February after a lackluster seventh-place finish in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary. She endorsed Cruz, a 45-year-old U.S. senator from Texas, a month later and has been a sharp critic on the campaign trail of likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Poll: Half of Americans think presidential nomination ‘rigged’

By Chris Kahn Reuters

NEW YORK — More than half of American voters believe that the system U.S. political parties use to pick their candidates for the White House is “rigged” and more than two-thirds want to see the process changed, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The results echo complaints from Republican front-runner Donald Trump and Democratic

contenders at their respective conventions, usually based on voting results. The parties decide how delegates are awarded in each state, with the Republicans and Democrats having different rules.

The delegates’ personal opinions can come into play at the party conventions if the race is too close to call — an issue that has become a lightning rod in the current political season.

Another complication is that

state governments have different rules about whether voters must be registered as party members to participate. In some states, parties further restrict delegate selection to small committees of party elites, as the Republican Party in Colorado did this year.

“I’d prefer to see a one-manone-vote system,” said Royce Young, 76, a resident of Society Hill, S.C., who supports Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. “The process is so flawed.”

Conservatives for Trump?

The sudden appearance of Donald Trump on the political horizon last year may have been surprising, but not nearly as surprising as seeing some conservatives supporting him.

Does Trump have conservative principles? Does he have any principles at all, other than promoting Donald Trump? A smorgasbord of political positions — none of them indicating any serious thought about complicated issues — is not a principle. Nor is cheering for himself and boasting about all the great things he is going to do as President.

Haven’t we seen this movie before?

Wasn’t Barack Obama going to heal the racial divide, end the partisan bickering in Washington, have the most transparent administration ever, lower the cost of health care and let you keep your own doctor?

Had he actually done all those Thomas things, walking on water as an encore Sowell would have been an anti-climax.

But instead, he did the opposite of all those things.

There was absolutely nothing in Obama’s track record that should have led anyone to think that he would even try to do any of the things he declared he was going to do. But why spoil a great vision, and soaring rhetoric, by checking track records?

It was bad enough for the voters to make the colossal mistake of being taken in by appearances and ignoring realities. But to repeat that very same mistake with Trump, immediately after the Obama administration, is truly staggering. How many pied pipers are we going to follow off to parts unknown?

At this late date, there is no point itemizing the many things that demonstrate Trump’s gross inadequacies for being President of the United States. Trump himself has demonstrated those gross inadequacies repeatedly, at least weekly and sometimes daily. Those who do not believe their own eyes and ears are certainly not going to believe any words of mine, or of anyone else.

What William James called “the will to believe” is still as powerful today as it was when he coined the phrase more than a century ago. But what is there about Donald Trump that taps into that powerful current of credulity?

The many betrayals of the voters by the Republican establishment, year after year, no doubt set the stage. And Trump is a great theatrical performer on any stage.

But is that enough? It has been enough politically to put some of the great demagogues of history in power, especially after the existing establishment has discredited itself.

The discredited Weimar Republic in Germany was vulnerable to the verbal attacks by Adolf Hitler that brought him to power. Now we know, too late, that Hitler turned out to be a bigger catastrophe — for Germany and the world — than the Weimar Republic.

Donald Trump is not an evil man like Hitler. But his headstrong shallowness and fecklessness make him a dangerous man to have in the White House, with our enemies around the world on the march, and developing intercontinental missiles that can deliver nuclear bombs.

A president of the United States has many heavy responsibilities beyond building a wall and fighting the Republican establishment.

Just the thought of Trump appointing justices of the Supreme Court, who will have lifetime tenure and make decisions, for decades, that will determine whether we will still be a free people, should sober up all who have not been irretrievably hypnotized by rhetoric or so embittered by the betrayals of the Republican establishment that they can see little else, including life and death issues.

For conservatives especially, there is finally a real choice for a change — and a sharp contrast with Donald Trump. Senator Ted Cruz has a track record that leaves no doubt as to his adherence to conservative principles. And he is as thoroughly versed in the issues facing this country as anyone who has run for President since Ronald Reagan.

Has Senator Cruz been flawless? Certainly not, and this column has more than once pointed out some of those flaws. But he has both the principles and the intellect for the job. Given the alternatives — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton — that should be more than enough this election year.

Plato, Aristotle and, oh dear, Trump CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — When it comes to rhetoric, Plato was right and Aristotle — not so much.

Distilled, Aristotle thought rhetoric good for democracy, though his definition of “by the people” was closer to our Founding Fathers’ intent of only certain people than to today’s more-the-merrier model. Given this assumption of a narrow, educated, self-governing populace, Aristotle likely envisioned that those practicing rhetoric would be guided by accepted rules of argument and engagement, emphasizing ethos (trust and credibility), pathos (appropriate use of emotion) and logos (logical argument and facts).

Plato, who was Aristotle’s mentor, thought otherwise — that rhetoric, or the art of persuasion, in the wrong hands was dangerous and likely to be abused to appeal to people’s base motives. He foresaw the unethical, dishonest uses that a skilled but immoral speaker could put his persuasive powers to, with credulous people eager to believe or buy whatever he was selling.

Which brings us unavoidably to Donald Trump, as if you hadn’t guessed.

We at least owe Trump thanks for bringing these two ancient philosophers out of history’s woodwork and back into the conversation. Trump also has inspired reconsideration of rhetoric’s rightful place in the classroom, where it was once considered an essential

Trump spends most of his time railing against what he opposes: the Geneva Conventions, NATO, world trade, the United Nations, the president, “experts” and, of course, “the establishment.”

Otherwise, he operates in a substance-free zone of narcissistic fantasy. “They love me,” he insists. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”

Sayler describes several of Trump’s other anti-logos traits, with amusing categories such as “The Bonkers,” which covers the mogul’s remark about Hillary Clinton’s “disgusting” bathroom break. Under “The Frightening,” Sayler points to Trump’s wish to be “unpredictable,” including firing off possible nuclear attacks. Trump, concludes the professor, is a world-class demagogue and blunderbuss.

It’s little wonder that the “Stop Trump” movement has gained traction, leading recently to an obstructionist partnership between Cruz and John Kasich.

It is also highly unlikely that Trump supporters give a hoot.

Plato, Aristotle and Sayler are all elitists, aren’t they? But what should be plain to everyone else is that the study of rhetoric is essential to an educated populace, lest rising generations fall prey to future demagogues and the perilous fates that await the unwitting.

The art of persevering with patience CHICAGO — Almost everyone has an old parental saw about patience. My husband tells our sons that, in his day, when you wanted to buy something that wasn’t available at your local store, you had to order through the mail and it would take six to eight weeks for delivery.

Unfortunately, my parents’ attempts to instill patience in me didn’t take — it was probably hopeless since the ability to practice patience bedevils the classic type-A personality.

I’ve especially struggled with it in my painful quest to learn to play the piano.

There is an old saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. After 17 years of owning a piano, trying to teach myself the basics and not hitting it off with instructors, I finally found an intimidating Russian master who has helped me progress faster than I could ever have thought possible.

But this “fast” rate is So. Incredibly. Painfully. Slooooowwwwww.

There is little more than practice, practice, practice without the associated joy of actually making music. Without a doubt, learning to play the piano is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

There’s nothing worse than knowing every note of the masterpieces of the classic piano repertoire but not being

By my estimate, I will be 96 by the time I’ve practiced the 10,000 hours it takes to master the piano, so it looks as though, like Casals, I’ll be “making progress” until I die.

But the lesson is that while it is especially hard to be patient with ourselves and others, the lightning speed at which life moves these days demands that we cultivate imperturbability.

“We have much less control than we might think over the causes and conditions that converge to bring about the ever-changing circumstances of our lives,” Lokos writes.

“With practice we can learn to put full effort into our actions without our happiness being dependent upon the ensuing results.”

If we are to find happiness and purpose in our lives, we must accept that some things just take a lot of time — or don’t always go our way.

The art of persevering with patience even when faced with life’s delays, unknowns, disappointments, and disruptions can make such challenges still worthwhile.

Parkview boys power past Pope in second half

Pope Greyhounds race past No. 8 Parkview Panthers in OT

By Christine Troyke christine.troyke@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LILBURN — Several staccato screams erupted from the cluster of Pope players as the Parkview Panthers, wiping away slow tears, trickled listlessly toward the locker room.

Region 5 has not been kind to the Panthers’ girls soccer team recently.

The Greyhounds outdistanced Parkview in overtime for a 2-1 win in the first round of the Class AAAAAA state playoffs Wednesday in Lilburn.

Last year, it was Lassiter ending the Panthers’ season in the quarterfinals.

Parkview (14-5-0) came in ranked No. 8 in the state. Two of the Panthers’ meager four regular-season losses came early in the year, when they were without Duke signee Emma Carlson, and they were on a five-game winning streak headed into the playoffs.

“Coming into the game, I felt like we were prepared,” head coach Judson Hamby said. “We had been playing really well.

But unfortunately in the playoffs, when you give up mistake goals, it’s the difference.”

After a scoreless first half was played primarily between the penalty

boxes, Parkview struck first.

On the heels of two tremendous saves from goalkeeper Sara Halilhodzic, including one by her fingertips on a desperate dive, Katie Hickman hammered a rebound home. Carlson took the initial shot and the save was pushed back out to her fellow senior. Hickman buried the chance with 32:18 left in the second half.

But Pope answered quickly, just over three minutes later, to tie the game and snatch the momentum from the Panthers.

“We scored a great goal to go up and just made one mistake, and it cost us right away,” Hamby said.

Halilhodzic’s feet seemed to stick in the dirt

just outside the goal as Kathryn Schreck got open to tie the game with 29:06 remaining.

The sophomore keeper came up big again with 7 ½ minutes left in regulation, smothering a chance at the post to keep the score even.

“I thought we had some chance that we didn’t put away in the last 10 minutes of regulation,” Hamby said. “But again, this time of year, it’s tough.

“We really felt like, going into the game, we would be OK if we could limit their chances in midfield — because they haven’t scored a lot of goals this year. Even 1-1, I felt like we probably should have won the game. We made a mistake, they got a corner and

banged it in.”

Pope junior Jamie Glover was in the middle of a mass of bodies in front of the goal to direct the corner kick home with barely two minutes left in the first overtime.

The Greyhounds (126-1) were in control for both OT periods and Parkview’s season came to an end.

“We knew coming in they probably should have been the third seed and weren’t,” Hamby said.

“They come from a very hard region with Lassiter, Walton and all them. So it prepared them well.

“We, at times, were in control and, at times, we weren’t in control.

I think part of that was credit to them. Once we got into overtime, we were a little banged up.

We had a couple of kids that weren’t 100 percent.

Credit to the girl who got free and scored a great goal.”

It’s most painful for the three seniors on the team — Carlson, Hickman and Kiara Campbell — but they were not alone in their tears.

“They’ve been a big part of the program and I hate it for them the most because they’re the reasons we’ve been successful the last three years,” Hamby said. “I hate it for them to go out like that.”

LILBURN — The discussion for the Parkview boys after a dominating first half was about missed chances.

“I told them, ‘You made the game a lot closer,’” head coach Daniel Klinect said.

“This Andrei game Bajura should have been over at halftime.

“Hopefully as we progress in this tournament, we can bury our chances.”

The No. 7 Panthers (15-4-0) used a deep bench to power past Pope for a 3-1 win in the first round of the Class AAAAAA soccer playoffs.

“I got to play a lot of guys today and it kept us fresh,” Klinect said. “We wore them out, I think, the last 20 minutes of the second half. I subbed about seven guys off the bench and the good thing is I can do that and it doesn’t really drop off the level of play.”

Parkview, which fell in the semifinals last year, moves on to play at Kennesaw Mountain, a 4-0 winner over Lee County.

“This is probably one of the better games where we created chances,” Klinect said. “Our seniors stepped up. Nick Giacobbe and Stef (Gordon) really did a good job at center back. Louis (Gratz) at right back settled things down.”

Swarming around Pope’s net for the vast majority of the first half, Parkview finally broke through for a 1-0 lead with 1:42 left. Junior Andrei Bajura smashed a straightaway shot past fallen Pope goalkeeper Jack Toppin.

“We had a ton of opportunities, and I was pleased with the creativity we had there,” Klinect said. “We really found some space with our at-

tacking center mids and trying to get some combinations. To be honest, we probably should have had three to four goals the first half.

“Their keeper made two point-blank saves, and as a coach you want them to create chances, and we did tonight.”

It was the culmination of a myriad of scoring opportunities, but the momentum didn’t carry through halftime.

The Greyhounds (98-1) pushed back in the second half and scored the equalizer with 27:30 remaining in regulation.

The ball bounced dangerously along the goal line with a mass of bodies in the box and was tapped in to tie the game.

“We knew they were strong at set pieces,” Klinect said. “They got the corner kick in and we were a little slow reacting to the ball. But then we calmed down.

“The one thing I say about this team is we’ve been in a couple of games where we gave up the first goal and there’s no panic. When they tied it up, some teams would have folded and we were composed.”

Freshman Kendall Edwards restored the Panthers’ lead just over six minutes later — and just a minute after he sailed a grade-A scoring chance high. Edwards pounded this one into the back of the net for a 2-1 lead with 21:16 left.

The Panthers earned a little breathing room six minutes after that with a goal from Carlos Valenciano. The sophomore arced a high shot over everyone and it tucked just under the crossbar for a 3-1 lead.

“Hopefully we’ll learn from this,” Klinect said.

“We’ve got a week to get ready for the next round.”

Ella Stevens scores twice as Brookwood eliminated 1-0 Grayson begins title defense by Lassiter in state playoffs

By Robbins Exume Staff Correspondent

LOGANVILLE — The Grayson girls soccer team’s quest for a second consecutive state championship began Wednesday night in its Class AAAAAA playoff game against Milton. The Rams started slow but were paced by two goals from Ella Stevens as they defeated Milton 2-1.

“My team never gave up” Grayson head coach Rebekah Bullock said.

“Milton kept us on our heels the entire second half… but I give my girls credit for keeping cool and finishing the chances that we had.”

Neither team generated any quality chances early on as each team mustered just one shot on goal in the

first 13 minutes of action.

Milton turned out to be the aggressor in the early going as it kept possession deep in Grayson territory but was unable to generate any legitimate scoring chances.

The Rams turned up the intensity as Stevens hit the crossbar from outside the box in the 23rd minute and missed just over the goal in the 30th minute. Persistence would pay off for the senior as she corralled a loose ball in the Milton half, dribbled by two defenders and slid the ball softly by the goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead in the 37th minute.

“Ella Stevens is always one that is going to go above and beyond, she always tries to make her teammates successful … that kind of play can take

us far into the playoffs, Bullock said.

Grayson increased its lead in the second half as Brittany Montgomery controlled the ball in the midfield work into the Milton box where she laid a great lead pass to Stevens on the right side, who kicked it into the left corner past the keeper for a 2-0 advantage.

Both teams would get six shots on goals and Milton’s sixth shot cut Grayson’s lead to 2-1 as Milton’s Nicole Aussin scored on a free kick from 30 yards out.

However Grayson stymied the Milton attack for the remaining 15 minutes to advance to the second round of the state playoffs.

The Rams will face Harrison, a 10-0 winner over Colquitt County, in the second round.

“Brookwood is one of the most athletic teams that I’ve seen in the past few years, and it can get physical when you’re facing a team like that.”

That second round match will take place against Lee County, which defeated Marietta on Wednesday. Lassiter will once again play host.

“The difference was we let one ball bounce in the back, and their best player turned and hit a ball well.

It was an excellent finish” Brookwood coach Chad Carithers said. “Looking back, I wish we had played the whole season like we did tonight. If we had done that, we probably wouldn’t have had to play Lassiter here in the first round.

They’re one of, if not the best team in the state.”

Haley Brinkman’s PK saves lead North past Lambert in playoffs

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

SUWANEE — North Gwinnett goalkeeper Haley Brinkman first went from backup to surprise starter, then finished it off Wednesday night by being the hero.

The freshman, in because of an injury to the starter, stuffed thirdranked Lambert’s first two penalty kicks of the shootout as the Region 7-AAAAAA champions escaped a brutal, Class AAAAAA first-round matchup with thirdranked Lambert for a 2-1 win (3-1 on PKs). North advances to host a secondround game against the Newnan-Tucker winner, while defending state runner-up Lambert is out after just a game.

“It was a good baptism by fire,” North girls coach Jeff Becker said of Brinkman. “At the beginning of the year, you’re on the JV team and at the end of the season you’re starting the first round of the playoffs against the No. 3 team in the state.”

Brinkman got video from Becker of Lambert’s PK takers and studied it closely in preparation for the playoff match, but that

offered only a bit of calmness with the weight of North’s playoff life on her young shoulders.

“I was a little nervous,” Brinkman said. “I just didn’t want to lose it for my team.”

North (12-5-1) missed its first PK, adding a little extra pressure, but Brinkman stopped Lambert’s first kick to her left. After Emily Mason converted a PK for North, Brinkman pounced on the visitors’ second kick, again to her left.

Kaitlyn Andrews made her PK to put North up 2-0 in the third round of kicks, but Lambert answered to get within 2-1.

Hanna Asher’s conversion made it 3-1 North, then Lambert’s fourth kicker sent a shot off the crossbar — though a leaping Brinkman was right on it — that clinched the victory for the Bulldogs, who raced toward the goal and piled on top of the unlikely freshman hero.

“I had to save it,” Brinkman said of her approach on each kick.

“No matter what, I had to save it. … After (we won), it was, ‘Oh my gosh, we just clinched the first round of playoffs as a freshman.’ It brought

tears to my eyes.”

The night didn’t start off so well for Brinkman or the Bulldogs, who gave up a goal in the 17th minute. The North defense let a ball pass through into space in front of Brinkman, who was a step slow getting there to challenge Lambert’s Keely Cartrett.

Cartrett got the best of the collision and tapped in a shot for a 1-0 edge.

One goal is often plenty for Lambert (15-4), which had allowed just eight goals in its first 18 matches. But North, and Brinkman, didn’t panic despite the early deficit to a team coached by former Grayson and Meadowcreek coach Scott Luthart.

“I told (Brinkman) last week and got her prepared,” Becker said. “I told her, ‘You’ve got to mentally prepared to start.

And she was. She trained hard. I think she was ready. The biggest thing was when the goal went in she stayed focused, got the ball out, threw the ball back to midfield, clapped and got the team back in it.”

Brinkman was steady the rest of the first half, while normal starting goalie Greer Rickett was solid in the second half.

The North defense also

limited Lambert’s chances otherwise with Shannon Hall, Riley George, Marin Sebestyen, Carly Anderson, Sarah Thornton, Sara Larsen and Andrews all logging heavy minutes in the back third of the field.

North had a couple of good chances led by Mason in the first five minutes of the second half, but it didn’t get the equalizer until the 56th minute off a corner kick.

A Lambert clearance didn’t get past Anderson, who fired a shot back through the traffic that somehow went untouched and into the far corner of the goal.

That tally got North through an uneventful overtime and to PKs, where the Region 7-AAAAAA champions emerged victorious in maybe the state’s most intriguing first-round matchup.

“You think when you finish on top of the region that you’re not going to play Lambert as a four seed, the state finalists last year, in the first round,” Becker said. “In practice the girls worked on the things we talked about on scouting reports and were ready. The first half was a little shaky but we did better in the second half.”

MARIETTA — Even as her team scored in the opening minutes of its first-round Class AAAAAA state playoff game against Dacula, Walton girls soccer coach Sharon Loughran implored the host Raiders to keep fighting to the final whistle.

That turned out to be good advice, as the No. 10 state-ranked Falcons threw everything they had at the hosts trying to erase a two-goal second half deficit.

Unfortunately for Dacula, the rally came up just short as the ninthranked Raiders held on for a 2-1 victory Wednesday night at Raider Valley to advance to a second-round date with Tift County and end the Falcons’ season at 14-5.

“They’re a very tough team,” Loughran said of Dacula. “The thing I have to commend them on is they didn’t stop fighting. … There was never any quit for a moment on that team, and they were very dangerous (in the second half).

“We knew it was going to be tough because we know what a great team they are. But we knew we had to play each minute as hard as well could because we knew they were going to.”

It took just over eight and a half minutes for Walton (11-4-3) to get the game’s first break when Helen Dyer made a move along the end line to draw a Dacula foul that was ruled to have occurred just inside the penalty area.

And the Raiders’ junior cashed in with a little extra effort on the ensuing penalty kick.

Falcons goalkeeper Sabrina Sieber made the initial save, but Dyer outraced everyone the loose ball and slammed home her own rebound to put Walton up 1-0 with 31:26 left in the first half.

Though Dacula was pinned up in its own end of the field much of the first half, the Falcons did manage to start pushing

forward late in the opening frame, with Sabrina Seibel getting the two best chances.

But Walton goalkeeper Ally Rzucidlo hauled in both to keep Walton’s one-goal advantage intact heading into intermission.

Still, Dacula kept the pressure for the majority of the second half after Walton switched goalkeepers.

But new keeper Michelle Watson dove to her left to rob Seibel on a blast from 30 yards out in the 55th minute, and Rebecca Contreras sent another rocket from the top of the 23-yard arc five minutes later that clanged off the crossbar and came down barely on the wrong side of the goal line.

“We knew with our fitness level, if we just keep pressuring them and pressuring them, we could wear them down and get some opportunities,” Dacula coach Mark Karen said. “We just didn’t capitalize on what we had.

I felt like we came out in the second half and really put it to them hard.”

But while the Falcons’ pressure gave them opportunities, it also made them vulnerable to a counterattack, which Walton cashed in on when Maggie Davis got the ball ahead to Delany Erwin, who sent a diagonal shot from the right wing that escaped Seiber and snuck inside the near post to put the Raiders up 2-1 with 10:52 left.

Still, Dacula kept pressuring and eventually got an opportunity on a foul just to the right of the top of the 23-yard arc.

And Seibel was able to end the shot around the left end of the Walton wall and inside the back post to pull the Falcons to within 2-1 with 6:33 left.

But that was as close as they would get despite a game effort, plus 11 saves from Seiber on the evening.

“I can’t credit the girls enough for their effort,” Karen said. “I would love to have put this game into overtime. I think we had momentum, but give credit to Walton. They did what they had to do.”

to successfully deploy a counter attack.

Finding more room to operate, with 9:47 left in the match, Olivia Chappelle crossed from the right sideline to Jones, who was 10 yards out from the far post. Jones gathered the ball and did a 180 spin to shake her defender. Her shot found the back of the net to increase the lead to 2-0.

With 1:28 to play, Jones had a shot blocked in the goal box but Nina Cisic gathered in the ball and blasted a goal that secured Collins Hill moving on to the second round.

It was quite a different result than when the teams played on February 19 and South Forsyth won 5-0.

“It was early in the year,” Tinklepaugh said.

“We didn’t have our keeper (Bryant), or Jones and we had people in the wrong spot. We had everyone healthy tonight and in the right spot.”

The Hawks were able to weather the storm and held on for an epic best-of-five round of penalty kicks.

Both teams missed their first penalty kick but the Hawks connected on four in a row to win after the Gladiators failed to connect on two of their four attempts.

Duluth, Mountain View hire new coaches From Staff Reports Two Gwinnett high school girls lacrosse programs hired new head coaches this week.

Mountain View hired

Paul Hennelly, previously the girls head coach at Duluth, to lead the Bears’ program. Duluth then hired Nicole Decraene as its new head lacrosse coach to replace Hennelly.

Hennelly has enjoyed success with the Wildcats’ program, including a 12-5 record this season.

Decraene has worked the past year as an assistant women’s lacrosse coach at

Shorter University, where she served as recruiting coordinator, fundraising chair, alumni relations manager and scout in addition to on-field coaching duties.

Most prospects enter the NFL Draft process not knowing what to expect.

Every move, tweet and play from their college careers are dissected by scouts and coaches over and over again in the months leading up to the start of the draft.

It can be a daunting process, especially if players don’t know what’s coming.

Former Central Gwinnett and Appalachian State receiver Malachi Jones had an idea of what was coming, though.

His older brother, T.J. Jones, is entering his third season in the NFL with the Detroit Lions after starring for Gainesville High and Notre Dame. T.J. Jones was a sixth-round selection by the Lions in the 2014 draft and appeared in 10 games last season, scoring a 64yard touchdown against the Buffalo Bills.

Their father, Andre Jones, who died in 2011 before Malachi’s senior season, played in the NFL for two seasons before going to the CFL. Their uncle Philip Daniels, a former UGA star, had a 14-year NFL career at defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears and is a quality control coach for the Philadelphia Eagles.

But it’s his brother T.J. who has provided Malachi with the most pre-draft knowledge. The two lived together in Roswell this winter before T.J. returned to Detroit for offseason workouts.

“It’s been tremendous,” Malachi Jones said. “I’ve had knowledge that maybe certain other people haven’t had the last two years when it’s come to the NFL. My brother is going into his third year. He’s a veteran, so he knows how the game works and he knows what it takes and what certain things need to be done. It was just kind of cool. He stayed down here in Georgia; we were staying together in his offseason training and got the opportunity to work out with him and see how he pushes himself and see how veterans and professionals (act) when it comes to eating, when it comes to working out. You know you have to be diligent with your sleep and the

amount of hours that you get. Then just him telling me how the draft process works and what to look for and what to expect. It’s just been awesome. I feel like I’m going to end up where I need to be and I couldn’t have had a better mentor and older brother than my brother to help guide me through this process.”

In high school he played for Wesleyan his first three seasons but transferred to Central for his senior year.

He set the county record for the most receptions in a season with 82. He finished with 1,059 yards and 14 touchdowns receptions that year for the Black Knights.

At Appalachian State Jones he was a four-year starter at receiver, recording 124 receptions for 1,711 yards and eight touchdowns in a run-oriented offense.

Jones said the biggest skill he learned at Appalachian State was the importance of film study.

“I loved my time at App,” he said. “I did everything I could for the University, and I don’t have any regrets.

I feel like every opportunity that was given to me I

made the most of it. Some people say they wonder if I would have been better in a more pass-happy offense, but at the end of the day, film is film and when the opportunity was given to me I made the most of it. I love Appalachian State, it’s been extremely gracious and great to me man. There wouldn’t be another place I would want to spend my four years.”

In August Jones suffered a hernia that he played through the entire season.

He finished his senior year with 25 receptions for 463 yards and three touchdowns.

He had surgery in December, which put him a little behind in his draft prep. He worked with Chip Smith and his sons Zach and Tripp Smith in Norcross to prepare for his Pro Day at Appalachian State on March 31.

In front of representatives from 21 different NFL teams, Jones showed no residual effects from the injury as the 6-foot-2, 211-pound receiver was timed at 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He also

posted a 37.5-inch vertical jump.

Jones is projected to be a sixth-or seventh-round draft pick, or perhaps a free-agent signee if he goes unselected. He plans to stay at home in Roswell with his mother, Michelle, and two sisters during the draft. His older brother T.J. is back in Detroit and their younger brother Jahmai Jones, a Wesleyan grad, is playing minor-league baseball in the Los Angles Angels organization.

“I’m feeling very optimistic,” Malachi Jones said. “Feeling a little anxiety and a little nervewracking, but very excited for the weekend man. It’s been a long process. I had a hernia in August and played through the whole season with it. Got surgery in December, so I was battling that all through my pro day prep. It was just awesome to come out on top and tear my pro day up. It’s been a fun process, I’ve enjoyed it. This time only comes around once in your life and I’m ready to see how it unfolds this weekend.”

“Obviously it’s always incredibly difficult to try to identify 12 players from a group of so many great players,” said USA and University of Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma, who has directed the USA National Team to an overall 23-0 record and gold medals at the 2012 Olympic Games and the 2010 and 2014 FIBA World Championships.

“The committee had a really difficult job this year, because it’s the first time in a long time that a lot more than 12 players could easily have been named to that team.

FIBA held the draw on March 11 to determine the Aug. 6-10 preliminary round groups, and

the United States (2014 FIBA World Championship gold medalist) was placed in Group B along with Canada (2015 FIBA Americas gold medalist), Senegal (2015 FIBA Africa gold medalist), Serbia (2015 EuroBasket gold medalist) and two teams that will earn their berths at the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, June 13-19, in Nantes, France. The top five finishing teams from the Olympic qualifier will earn a berth to Rio, with the second and fourth best teams included in Group B. The U.S. will open play against against Senegal on either Aug. 6 or Aug. 7 (all game times to be announced by FIBA at a later date), followed by the No. 4 team from the Olympic qualifier on Aug. 8, Serbia on Aug. 10, Canada Aug. 12, and the USA concludes preliminary round play on Aug. 14 against the No. 2 team from the Olympic qualifier.

Auriemma will be assisted through the 2016 Olympic Games by DePaul University’s Doug Bruno, the Minnesota Lynx’s Cheryl Reeve and University of South Carolina’s Dawn Staley.

Braves finally homer but fall 9-4 to the Red Sox The Sports Xchange

BOSTON — Steven Wright continues to be the No. 1 surprise of the Boston Red Sox season.

The knuckleballer, added to the rotation at the start of the season because of an injury to Eduardo Rodriguez, turned in his fourth straight quality start on Wednesday night.

Backed by two Dustin Pedroia homers, one a grand slam, and three doubles by David Ortiz, Wright helped the Red Sox to a 9-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves. It was Boston’s third straight win over the hapless Braves in two locations this week and fourth victory in a row overall.

Wright (2-2 with a wonderful 1.37 ERA) allowed one earned run in seven innings as the Red Sox improved to 12-9. He struck out seven and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in his last eight starts dating back to last season — the longest active streak among current American League starters.

Wright got some help from his defense, with both center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and left fielder Brock Holt making out-

and Hanley Ramirez then dropped a hit into rightcenter to score Ortiz.

Freeman doubled to start the Braves’ second.

He took third on Pierzynski’s single — the catcher’s 2,000th career hit — and scored on Kelly Johnson’s single. A passed ball moved runners to second and third with one out, but Wright escaped.

The Red Sox loaded the bases with nobody out when Pedroia hit the right-field foul pole with his third career grand slam, his first since 2014.

When Ortiz doubled again, Norris and his 8.64 ERA were done.

He knows he has my support. I’m happy he’s our manager.” … Entering the game, 60 players had at least four homers, one more than the Braves, and 102 had at least three. … Atlanta RHP Jhoulys Chacin faces RHP Clay Buchholz in the finale of the fourgame home and home set tonight before the Yankees visit Boston for the first time this season. … RHP Carson Smith, who has yet to make his Red Sox debut because of a right forearm strain, will pitch at Double-A Portland this weekend and could be activated next week.

THE WESTBROOK FILE

Archer’s head girls basketball coach vacancy drew plenty of interested candidates, and the Tigers landed an accomplished one.

Longtime Etowah head coach Bob Westbrook was announced Wednesday morning as the replacement for Ryan Lesniak, who was hired recently as the athletic and activities director at Peachtree Ridge. Westbrook has a career record of 576-297 and has spent the last 17 seasons at Etowah, where he won the 2005 Class AAAA state championship.

“We obviously had a great deal of interest in our head girls basketball position,” Archer athletic and activities director Tim Watkins said. “We really took our time to make sure we found the right person for the job. Our desire was to find a coach with a proven track record that can elevate our program to the next level with championships in mind.

We believe that we have

found that person in Bob Westbrook.”

Westbrook, 57, has reached the state tournament 23 times in his career, winning 12 region basketball titles. He has taken two teams to the Final Four, highlighted by his state title.

The new coach inherits an Archer team that returns the top nine players, including high Division I recruits Autumn Newby and Linsey Marchese, from a 25-5 team. The Tigers have gone 10025 the past four seasons,

reaching two Final Fours and finishing once as state runner-up.

“Certainly the players, obviously,” Westbrook said of being drawn to Archer.

“That’s one of the biggies.

But when I walked in the school, it felt comfortable.

I felt comfortable around Coach Watkins and I felt comfortable around the principal, Mr. (Ken) Johnson. It just felt right. It’s hard to say. I wasn’t looking to change. When the job came open, you start thinking about it. And then we started talking. I was

Atlanta looks to close out Boston on the road in Game 6 The Sports Xchange The Atlanta Hawks found a formula to stop Isaiah Thomas in Game 5, and it brought them to the brink of a series win. The Hawks will try to stop a hobbled Thomas again and close out the series when they visit the Boston Celtics for Game 6 tonight.

The Celtics were already down 31 points in the fourth quarter of Game 5 in Atlanta when Thomas went up for a layup and rolled his ankle on the way down, effectively ending his night at seven points on 3 of 12 shooting in the 11083 setback. Thomas, who vows to play in Game 6, averaged 35 points in home wins in Games 3 and 4 and was the clear focus of the Hawks defense in Game 5, with two players trapping every time he had the ball.

“If we’re able to contain him, it gives us a better chance,” Atlanta center Al

“(The shooting was) definitely contagious,” Hawks swingman Kent Bazemore told reporters. “What changed is we said, ‘just let it fly.’ (We) loosened up a little bit there.”

Bazemore knocked down four 3-pointers to bounce back from a 2 of 10 effort in Game 4 and Atlanta got contributions from reserve forwards Kris Humphries (eight points in nine minutes in his first appearance of the series) and Mike Scott (17 points on 7 of 9 shooting).

Boston shot 37.7 percent from the floor in Game 5, including 7 of 29 from 3-point range, and had Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap (4) drives on Boston Celtics forward Amir Johnson no answer for the defen(90) in the first quarter in Game 5 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs at Philips Arena. sive pressure focused on (Photo: Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports) Thomas.

for (the Hawks) to put two on the ball every time I have it. Other guys have to step up and make plays, that’s what it comes down to.”

Thomas expressed confidence that his teammates will be able to step up with the series on the line, and guard Marcus Smart will get one more chance in front of the home crowd after posting 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists in Game 4.

2. Celtics G/F Evan Turner is averaging 16.3 points in the last three games.

3. The winner of the series will face the topseeded Cleveland Cavaliers, who swept Boston in the first round last spring and swept Atlanta in the conference finals.
