MICS grad Jake Hawkins receives Morehead-Cain Scholarship

The ancient Greek genius Archimedes said “give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the world”. Well, that same adage slightly modified might well apply to East Gaston High graduating senior Leann Crotts and her golf clubs. Leann is the daughter of Dallas and Allison Crotts and took up golf at an early age. “My dad taught me how to play when I was three years old,” she said. Leann’s talent on the links grew as time went by. In middle school she was the only girl on the golf team. “The coach said I was meant to be a golfer,” Crotts said. “I guess I’m pretty good at it.” At East Gaston she was captain of the golf team. She recently took part in the Tar Heel Cup tournament held in Wallace, NC, and was one of just six girls from the western region of our state to compete. She has also taken part in top regional competitions for the past three years. In addition, she’s a member of the Tar Heel Golf Assoc., the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Interact Club. According to Crotts, golf helped her round out as a person. “Golf has taught me patience and social skills,” she said. Her talent and hard work on the 18 holes has paid off in other ways too. Crotts has earned a scholarship to Mars Hill College where she will study business and biology. See CROTTS, Page 9

During his time at Mt.Island Charter School, graduating senior Jake Hawkins achieved an amazing level of success, with perhaps his top accomplishment being the fact that he’s the first student from that school to receive the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship to UNC Chapel Hill. The son of Ken and Lisa Hawkins, Jake has attended MICS since fourth grade. “I’m so honored and blessed to have received the scholarship,” Hawkins said. “It’s such a good thing for my family and the school.” The full-ride scholarship is worth around $24,000 a year and pays for four years of undergraduate tuition, room and board, and other expenses. It is the first merit scholarship program ever formally established in the United States, and has been awarded each year since 1951. Hawkins was guided through the application process by school counselor Michelle Honore’. “I had to go through several levels of interviews which were given by previous winners and people at UNC,” Hawkins said. The scholarship also funds a variety of experiences designed to broaden the horizons of recipients. That includes summer leadership training, a discovery fund to research a major project of the student’s choice, as well as a paid study-abroad program. “I plant to spend a month backpacking in Alaska,” Hawkins said.

Stuart Cramer grad J.R. Chacon is a Renaissance man By Alan Hodge

South Point graduating senior Sarah Neil is talented musically and knows how to lead. So she took those two attributes and put them to exemplary use as a member of the Red Raiders marching band- and that’s just the tip of the iceberg regarding her achievements at the school. “I play clarinet in the marching band and have always been interested in music,” she said. Her musical talent comes naturally. Her father Peter Neil played clarinet as well and her grandfather the late Donald Worick was a guitarist. “He would play traditional and folk songs,” Sarah said. Her uncle William Neil composed music and Sarah even got to play a solo in one of his works “High on the Mountain”. “We are a musical family,” she said. Being a member of the marching band added another layer to Neil’s already vibrant personality. “Being in the marching band taught me how to show respect and be part of something bigger than myself,” she said. “Growing up, I went to South Point football games and told myself one day I would be on that field in the band.” According to Neil she doesn’t have one favorite type of music, but is eclectic in her tastes. “I like all types,” she said. “Music is the great equalizer. Everyone has something unique to bring to the table with it.” See NEIL, Page 10

A Renaissance man is a guy who is gifted in a variety of ways and excels in each one of them and that pretty much describes Stuart Cramer High graduating senior J.R. Chacon. Chacon lives in Mt. Holly with his mom Mallory Goodman and stepdad David Goodman. He attended Mt. Holly Middle School before coming to Stuart Cramer where his many talents bloomed. Music is one of Chacon’s passions- especially the drums and chorus. “I really enjoy music,” he said. “I’ve been playing the drums for seven years and have been in chorus since my freshman year including two years on varsity chorus.” Music has brought Chacon some memorable moments. “I was able to play the drums live at the International Foursquare Convention global broadcast,” he said. “I also sang in a production of ‘Elijah Rock’ by Moses Hogan.” Chacon loves what his musical talent and the chorus does for other folks. “I enjoy working as a team on the chorus to bring the joy of music to other people’s hearts,” he said. In addition to his artistic side, Chacon is also a gifted athlete excelling on the tennis court and the football field. “Some friends talked me into trying tennis and I really enjoyed it,” Chacon said. “I’ve been playing three years and qualified for the regionals.” See CHACON, Page 9

Crowders Mtn. State Park closings Construction projects will cause closures of parking lots and cause temporary access closures to Crowders Mountain State Park throughout the summer. Park staff ask that visitors check the park’s website at www.ncparks.gov/ crowders-mountain-state-park or call the park office at 704853-5375 for up-to-date closures before their visit. Four projects funded by the Connect N.C. bond package will increase parking and facilities for visitors at two of the park’s access areas. Sparrow Springs access near Short’s Lake will gain 215 parking spaces as well as restroom facilities. At the Linwood access, the parking lot will be expanded and paved to accommodate 202 vehicles and the septic system will be updated to manage increased usage. During construction, the existing gravel parking area at Sparrow Springs access will be closed. Access to Short’s lake and the Lake Trail will

be limited or closed for periods of time until construction is complete. The Linwood access area may be closed temporarily during the construction process as well. The park’s Boulders access and all other trails will remain open during the construction period, which is expected to continue until late October.

and is loving, bold, alert, confident, independent, smart and responsive. If it doesn’t get a chance to exercise and challenge its strongly developed mental and physical activities, it is apt to become frustrated and difficult to live with. With proper exercise and training, it is a loyal, utterly devoted and obedient companion. It is reserved with strangers and has a protective nature. It may try to herd children and small animals by nipping. Moderate Shedding: The Aussie sheds, but it’s a major event only twice a year, in the spring and fall. Frequent brushing, warm baths and thorough blow drying during that time will help keep the handfuls of hair under control. Outside of shedding season, bathe the Aussie only when he gets dirty. Please come out to our adoption event this weekend. If you are looking for

Tri-County Animal Rescue Big Dog Pet of the Week is this overweight Australian Shepherd named Bear. He is 8 years old and is starting to get around much better than when he first came into our program. Bear’s owner passed away about 5 months ago leaving Bear homeless. His owner loved him with food! Bear weighs about 100 pounds and should weigh about 60 pounds. He is already working on his exercise/diet routine and has lost about 30 pounds. He is good with everyone including other pets. Bear is looking for a walking partner. So, if you need a man to walk around with…come on out Saturday and get Bear. Bear is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm negative and micro-chipped. He will be looking for you this weekend! The Australian shepherd has a great deal of stamina

Rest and refresh Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org

Now that we are in the month of June, summer is just around the corner. School is letting out soon, and it is getting hotter outside every day. Soon enough, people will be heading out of town for summer vacations. Many people will head out of town to escape the busyness of life for a few days. We often need time to rest, refresh, and recharge our batteries. Not only do we need physical rest, but we also need spiritual rest as well. In 1 Samuel 14:24-30, we see Israel gathered to fight the Philistines. Jonathan, King Saul’s son, had left the main army with his armor bearer, and attacked a garrison of the Philistines. During the chaos of the attack, the Philistine army began to panic and started fighting against themselves. King Saul noticed the commotion and led Israel in an attack of the Philistines, resulting in a great victory. The army of Israel took refuge in a forest after the battle. While there, they saw some honey dripping from a nearby tree. They dared not touch it, because King Saul had made a decree that no one could eat until evening. However, Jonathan arrived and ate some of the honey. He did not know his father had made the decree. When told of this, Jonathan said had Israel been allowed to eat and rest, their victory would have been much greater. Jonathan, and the army of Israel were exhausted. They had been fighting in

hand to hand combat all day. They were tired, and hungry. Often, we are tired as well. We come to the end of a work week Rev. Trent Tankin exhausted. We may be going through some challenge at home, school, or work. In such times, we need rest and refreshing. There is no shame in admitting you are tired from all you are going through in life. We need refreshing, both in our physical lives, and our spiritual walk with God. We can find such refreshing in prayer. Tell God what you are going through, and seek His guidance and help. Read God’s Word. Let the Bible speak to your weary heart. Get involved in a local church with other people seeking to grow in their walk with Jesus. Find your place of rest. Refreshed people are ready for the battles of this world. Jonathan noted that Israel could have enjoyed a greater victory over the Philistines had his father not made such a foolish oath. When we find rest for our bodies, and our souls, we will be prepared to go through all of things we face each day in our lives. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (NKJV). If in this life you are tired, or perhaps weary from all Satan throws at you, come to Jesus. Find rest in Him today. If you need rest, if you need refreshing, then come to Jesus. In Jesus, you will find rest for your soul.

McAdenville Women’s Club 65th anniversary By Roxanne Rankin On a beautiful May afternoon, visitors of all ages and from myriad locations gathered at the Pharr Family YMCA on DuPont Plaza to enjoy an afternoon tea and take a walk down memory lane. The McAdenville Woman’s Club hosted this event as part of their 65th anniversary. Among the many guests were two charter members, Gwen Brittain and Merle Costner. In addition, the first Miss McAdenville from 1956, Hope Poag Parks, the first Jr. Miss McAdenville from 1957, Nancy Cobb Medlin, and the first Girl of the Year from 1960 Susie Rankin White. One room of the YMCA was dedicated to memorabilia that included old mov-

ies from the pageant days and the Pharr Yarns Community Day celebrations, cookbooks published by the club, old notices from the 1950’s and 60’s advertising hat sales and bazaars, pictures, scrapbooks, and most notably all of the ChristmasTown shirts that the club has become noted for. These shirt sales began in 1990 and have now become collector’s items with each year’s design highly anticipated by those loyal customers. The day long celebration concluded with a dinner/ dance for current club members in the ballroom of the YMCA. If you were unable to attend, the club invites you to visit their website, mcadenvillewomansclub.org and/or their Facebook page to check out photos.

Grizzlies perfect in Coastal Plain League opening week By Dalton Sweezy daltonsweezy02@gmail.com

“We want to send them back to their schools ready to compete for a championship.” Gastonia Grizzlies head coach Charles Bradley made his message clear after Thursday night’s opening game win against High-Point Thomasville. The win was the first of a 50 game summer season for college players from around the country in the 16-team Coastal Plain League. On a warm and breezy night in North Gastonia, an excited and enthusiastic fan base filed into Sims Legion Park to get a look at their new Grizzlies team. Gastonia didn’t disappoint, winning in a dominating 6-0 fashion, scoring first in the 4th, followed by four more in the 5th thanks to the struggling command of the Thomasville relief core. They were able to tack on an additional insurance run in the 7th, with a sacrifice fly by shortstop Jeff Cyr. The Grizzlies’ speed was evident early, with two stolen bases by left fielder, Bill Hanna, and one each for shortstop Jeff Cyr, and right fielder, Tanner Green. However, the real story of the night was the ace-like performance of Georgia College and State University starter, Kyle King. The second year Grizzly tossed seven innings of two hit, 10 strikeout ball, while managing to only throw 83 pitches. That’s not only good, but it’s efficient as well. When asked about the performance of his starting pitcher, Coach Bradley said, “He’s one of the leaders on this team, when Kyle wants the ball, we’re gonna give it to him.” After spending his first three years as the hitting coach for the Grizzlies, Bradley returns for his second year as head coach with a strong desire to see his players be successful in every possible way. He preaches the importance of coming together and playing as a team, putting the selfishness aside, and becoming not only a better player, but a better person as well. Bradley recently closed his sports recruiting business which helped players in high school find a place to play in college, but is writing a book

to help parents and coaches have an idea of how to go through the process on their own. His book is called “The Dirty Little Secrets of Baseball Recruiting,” and will be released in September. Gastonia didn’t have much of a break as they travelled to Forest City to take on the Owls the very next night. Sporting their away black jerseys and a whole lot of confidence, they jumped ahead early, with an offensive explosion in the first 4 innings. Scoring three in the 1st, followed by one in the 2nd, they blew the game open with a seven run 4th. Forest City starter, Matthew Dailey ran into command problems, walking two in the inning before giving way to reliever Caleb Pearson. The Grizzlies struck with a two RBI single by Clemson second baseman, Mac Starbuck and two bases loaded walks to score the first 4 runs of the inning. They then cashed in on a throwing error by the pitcher to plate three additional runs in the frame. Gastonia starter Bryce McGowan out of UNC Charlotte, pitched fairly well, only giving up two runs on three hits in his 4 innings of work. The early runs would prove to be enough as they spent the rest of the evening on cruise control, looking at a variety of different arms out of the bullpen. The Grizzlies finished the night with 12 runs off 11 hits and no errors. They won the game convincingly, by a final score of 12-5. The final game of the short week took place Saturday night back in Gastonia in front of a large crowd. The allure of Saturday night fireworks and the feel of summer was in the air as the Forest City Owls entered Sims Legion Park looking to rebound from the previous nights’ blowout. The excitement was momentarily interrupted as Forest Citys’ Matt Harrison sent one over the 360 sign in left center field, for a grand slam in the first inning off of Gastonia starter, Mitchell Holcomb. The Grizzlies were able to chip away at the lead in the second though, scoring three runs off an error and a two RBI single by shortstop Jeff Cyr. Cyr wasn’t done, hammering a two-run, goahead home run in the 4th to

After tallying one more in the 5th off of a hit by Andrew Orzel, the Grizzlies dominant pitching took over. After the first inning, Holcomb was solid providing four innings of scoreless baseball, passing the torch to Yale pitcher Rohan Handa. The confident Freshman threw two innings of two hit ball, stunting the Forest City offensive attack. After a few runners reached in the 9th, tall right-hander Jarret Krzyzanowski recorded the final out, to close out a perfect week of baseball in Gastonia. The game ended with a final score of 6-4. One of the most noticeable themes for this Grizzlies’ team early in the year is their speed. They have a combined 18 stolen bases through only three games so far this season. Gastonia has the top two leaders in stolen bases in the league, so far, with Bill Hanna and Jeff Cyr. Hanna is the leadoff batter in the lineup and sets the tone for the team with his electric speed out of the gate. This week, he has already collected 8 stolen

bases, including 4 in Saturday night’s contest. He looks to lead by example this summer and be someone who others can follow on and off the field. Growing up in Lake City, South Carolina, Hanna was a three sport athlete at his local high school. He won what’s called the Triple threat award for his excellence in football, basketball, and baseball. He chose to continue on and play baseball for USC Sumter, a junior college close to home. In his sophomore season for the fire ants, he hit .374 and was 21-24 in stolen base attempts. His coach told him about the Coastal Plain League, which Hanna recalled from attending Florence Red Wolves games as a kid. Through this, he finds himself in the leadoff spot of an exciting Grizzlies team ahead of his transfer to the four year school, Francis Marion, to continue his collegiate career. Hanna knows his role on the Grizzlies’ team,

and what he needs to do to be a contributing piece to its success. When asked about his game he said, “My type of game is speed, so I just try to get on base any way I can, and just make it hard for the other team to throw me out.” Having not only an explosive player in the leadoff spot, but a leader who others can follow, is an important part of the development of any team. Especially, a team of players who barely know each other, playing five to six games a week, with little rest in between. The fact of it is, the Coastal Plain League is structured for inconsistency. Every year, new players are brought in and asked to quickly learn each other and build the chemistry necessary to win games. It’s important that teams with so little experience with one another have not only strong leaders in the coaching staff, but also strong leaders ingrained in the team itself. Hanna is just one of the many leaders on

this Grizzlies ball club that looks to make a splash in the 2019 Coastal Plain League. Gastonia ends the week atop the West Division with the Asheboro Copperheads, Forest City Owls, and Thomasville Hitoms trailing behind. It’s far too early to pay attention to the standings, but it’s important to get off to a good start against division rivals, as the top two teams in each division make the playoffs come August. Coach Bradley certainly isn’t worried about the standings at this point. He and the Grizzlies have one goal this summer. “We’re trying to play as long as possible. We don’t want to go home. We brought this team together because we want to stay together for as long as possible, into August, and until they make us go home.” It’s too early to tell, but with players like Bill Hanna leading the way, the Grizzlies might not have to go home for a really long time.

“Without golf, there would have been no scholarship,” she said. East Gaston golf coach Duane Clark has seen Crotts grow as a golfer, student, and person. “I cannot say enough about how dedicated this student is to achieving goals set before her,” said Clark. “Sometimes in today’s high school world, athletes are given things they should not be given and take failure as being an okay thing. Leann does not take failure as a negative. She learns from her mistakes and does her best to correct them. As coaches, we all want to be able to coach students with a winning attitude and a great demeanor. Leann exemplifies that by having a fierce competitive attitude and being a winner. She is an outstanding student inside and outside the classroom. She was the leader of my team here at East Gaston and was always willing to go the extra mile in helping the other girls who were not up to her caliber of playing golf. She loves to play golf and strives to be the best every time on the

course. She is a friendly competitor with whomever she is playing and is fun to be around on and off the course. She will be missed here at East Gaston on the golf team and in the classroom. I have enjoyed the time spent on the golf course with her. Leann will be on her next life journey playing for Lady Lion’s of Mars Hill College.” Where does Crotts see golf taking her in the future? Somewhat surprisingly giver her skill level- probably not on the green next to Tiger Woods. “Golf is a very business friendly sport,” she said. “I want to use it to help my dad in his business Cekal Specialties textile dye company and take a place in it with him. I might also coach children interested in learning the game.” Crotts, who is adopted and had some family challenges as a very young child, is convinced a positive attitude and pursuing your dreams is key to success in life. “Be happy and stay focused,” she said. “That’s your choice.”

In addition to the Morehead-Cain Scholarship, Hawkins has maintained a high level of other involvements at MICS. He has been student body president, president of student government, co-vice president of the Best Buddies group. Tony Stallings, Hawkins’ English teacher had this to say about his potential impact at UNC. “He’s going to take UNC by the horns,” she said. “He’s very charismatic, hardworking, and strong in his faith. He’s going to do great things.” But Hawkins isn’t just about the classroom and he also knows how it is to overcome hardship. On the athletic field, he’s served as team captain for varsity football and golf. On the football team he was an outside linebacker and a defensive end. He used the same grit and determination he displayed on the gridiron to fight and win victory over a very serious medical condition.

“I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,” Hawkins said. “I had an operation and the doctor got it all out. There was a two month recovery period. I had to sit out a lot of the football season but recovered and was able to play again. I was named Comeback Player of the Year for the Charlotte area.” Hawkins says he hopes to take to the Tar Heel football field at UNC as a “walk on.” “The sickness taught me the value of a positive mindset,” he said. Overall, Jake Hawkins feels like his years at MICS have helped form him into the highly successful man his is and will continue to be. “I am thankful for the wonderful opportunities and for everyone here who have helped me succeed,” he said. “We are all one big family at Mt. Island Charter School.”

Chacon likes the one on one aspect of tennis. “In tennis it’s just me against the other player,” he said. Football is another facet to Chacon’s athletic prowess. He played cornerback on the Storm squad during his sophomore and senior years. Football provided Chacon with an unexpected challenge that he overcame. “I broke my arm in a game against Mt. Island and was out for two months,” he said. “I returned in a game against Forestview and was named Player of the Game. It was the best game of my life.” Chacon’s sports ability plus his academic excellence earned him the Audrey Devine Scholar Athlete Award. The recognition is named for Stuart Cramer principal Audrey Devine and goes to the senior boy or girl that has the highest Grade Point Average and plays at least two sports. “All the coaches voted on it,” said Chacon. “I was honored to receive it.” Devine praised Chacon.

“This young man is humble and appreciates anything he receives,” Devine said. “He works hard and is liked and loved by his teachers and classmates. He also has a magnetic personality.” After graduation, Chacon will be wearing a sailor suit for five years where his natural ability to “fix things” will be put to good use. “I have enlisted in the Navy,” he said. “I have always been good with my hands and plan to study aviation tech by working on the electronics of planes and drones.” Chacon’s love of our nation also inspired his enlistment. “I want to serve and defend our country and freedom around the world,” he said. As far as advice to those students coming along behind him at Stuart Cramer, Chacon has this bit of wisdom. “Surround yourself with positivity,” he said “The greatest happiness for me always comes when I am being a light in someone’s life.

High schools to conduct graduation ceremonies for Class of 2019 More than 2,200 seniors to receive their diploma from Gaston County Schools Graduation for Gaston County Schools is Saturday, June 8, and ten public high schools will conduct ceremonies that day to present diplomas to the Class of 2019. This year, 2,245 seniors will graduate from Gaston County Schools. Ashbrook, Bessemer City, Cherryville, Stuart W. Cramer, East Gaston, Forestview, Hunter Huss, North Gaston, and South Point will hold high school graduation on June 8 at 9:00 a.m. The ceremony for the Highland School of Technology is at 11:00 a.m. on June 8. Each high school graduation is a well-planned, formal ceremony intended to highlight each senior. To ensure that each graduate’s name is heard by everyone, attendees should refrain from boisterous applause and celebration until all graduates have received their diploma. Tickets for Graduation Admission tickets are required for ceremonies that are held indoors (East Gas-

ton, Highland, North Gaston, and Warlick). If outdoor ceremonies are moved indoors because of inclement weather, a ticket is required. Because of space constraints, most schools require tickets for ceremonies that are held in the football stadium. Anyone with questions about admission tickets for graduation should contact the school for specific information. Safety at Graduation All high schools have a comprehensive safety plan for graduation, and school officials have spent time working with local law enforcement to ensure that graduation is an enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance. To ensure safety, the following procedures will be in place: Each school will have additional security personnel – a police presence will be noticeable on campus. Attendees should arrive early and be prepared to stand in line to enter the ceremony. Metal detectors (walkthrough units and hand-held wands) will be used. Everyone at graduation, including

students, parents, relatives, school personnel, and guests, will be subject to metal detection screening. Attendees are discouraged from bringing purses and handbags to

graduation. Purses/handbags must be screened, a process that slows down the entrance line. Traffic congestion is likely near the high schools beginning one hour before

the start of graduation. Attendees should plan accordingly to allow enough time for parking and entering the ceremony. Being vigilant is impor-

tant. Anyone who sees or is aware of suspicious activity at graduation should contact a school official or law enforcement immediately.

NEIL From Page 1 Tim Hamilton, South Point’s band director, has this to say about Neil. “I have taught Sarah in Marching, Concert, and Jazz Bands for nearly four years,” said Hamilton. “From her first moments in our band at spring training as a rising freshman, to her first summer band camp, until this very moment, Sarah has always shown outstanding commitment, dedication, loyalty and perseverance as a member of the band. Last year, and also this current year, Sarah serves as our woodwind captain of the marching band, as well as clarinet section leader. So few students truly understand the concept of ‘leadership’ the way Sarah does. The difference comes into play where the rubber meets the road. A lot of people can “talk the talk”, but Sarah Neil truly walks the walk! She lives and daily exercises the most sacred elements of leadership, service and sacrifice. She shares the burden of the load with her section members, as opposed to just simply shouting orders; Telling them when something is not being performed correctly, but treating her kids with sincere respect and appreciation while doing so… then providing real solutions to improving those elements which are in need thereof. She even inspires her members in her leadership role as she, without being

asked by me or other staff members, grabs a broom and a dust pan, and starts stacking chairs and sweeping the band room floor. Sarah Neil is the real deal. She works so diligently, and does so with a beautiful attitude that is always reflected in her smile and wonderful demeanor. This young lady was truly the heart of the South Point band, and upon her graduation, there will indeed be a void that will be so tough to fill.” During her time at South Point, Neil also displayed a high level of patriotism. She went to Tar Heel Girls State and wrote an essay on the importance of voting that received a DAR award. After graduation, Neil plans to pursue a career in Criminal Justice at UNCCharlotte. She will play in the band there too. Sarah is the daughter of Peter and Donna Neil and the fifth generation of her family to live in the Belmont area. She gives her parents a lot of credit for what she’s been able to do. “They have always been very supportive,” she said. Those deep family roots has also helped her form a philosophy of life that she wants to share with those students following in her South Point footsteps. “Always remember your roots,” she said. “Remember where you came from and be proud of it.”

The awards recognize the school for its spring musical, “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Alex Manley won the Best Supporting Actor award for his portrayal of “Schroeder.” Emily Harris earned the Technical Achievement Award for her outstanding work to create costumes for “Charlie Brown.” She also won the award last year for the school’s production of “Cinderella.” Additionally, Harris received the Mary Doctor Performing Arts Scholarship valued at $10,000 (renewable for four years). She plans to attend the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Stuart W. Cramer also won the Best Costume Creation award. Harris was a major contributor to the cast and crew winning this award. She supervised the

South Point High School 2019 Spring Sports Awards Story and photos by Charlotte Sautner South Point High School held its 2019 spring sports awards on Thursday, May 23rd. Awards were presented for junior varsity and varsity baseball, varsity softball, ladies varsity soccer, men’s golf, men’s tennis, and men’s and women’s track. Also, presented were the following major awards: The Jack Huss Scholar Athlete Award, Male and Female Sportsmanship awards, and the Male and Female Athlete of the Year awards. Also recognized were those who were named All Conference for the 2019 spring sports season and those recognized as a Southwestern 2A coach of the year, player of the year and NCHSAA 2A State Pole Vault Champion. The Jack Huss Scholar Athlete Award is presented to a senior who has participated in a least two sports during the past year. The Award winner must have the highest academic average of those who qualified. Jack Huss was a longtime resident of Cramerton, an outstanding athlete and coach and a WWII veteran. This is a very appropriate award to be named for Jack Huss because as a coach, he knew the value of athletics in the lives of our youth, and as a teacher and later principal at Cramerton High School, he also knew the importance of academics in the lives of young athletes to prepare them for the future. The winner of the award this year is Adam Whiteman. Adam has been recognized as a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete. He was a Southwestern 2A All Conference player on the soccer team this past fall and was a Southwestern 2A All Conference distance runner this spring in track, where he qualified for the 2A Mid-West Regional meet, all while maintaining a 4.48 GPA. Adam will be attending NC State University upon graduation. The Male and Female Sportsmanship Awards are presented to a senior who has participated in at least 2 sports. Those nominated are

then voted on by the coaches. This Award expresses much more than physical achievement. It exemplifies and embodies the actions and attitudes of the recipient. To be chosen for this award, the student-athlete has to exhibit the qualities of fairness, courtesy and grace-in winning and in defeat-on and off the field. The recipient must be a person of integrity. To win this award you have to stand apart from the crowd. You have to lead others by your attitude, your hard work and your example. You cannot be like everyone else. You have to realize that, as someone wisely put it, “a man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.” The winner of the Female Sportsmanship Award is Emma King. She competed on the cross country and soccer teams. She has been described by her coaches and fellow teammates as a hard worker and the consummate team player. She has been a designated a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete and will attend Appalachian State University in the fall. The winner of the Male Sportsmanship Award is Caleb Gibson. He was a leader on the football and track teams. Coaches and teammates alike describe him as being unselfish and committed to his team. He is always willing to help out and do what is right. He believes in being of service to his community. He will attend Bluefield College this fall where he will play football. South Point also named its Male and Female Athlete of the Year. The Female Athlete of the Year is Emma King. Emma was an All-Conference runner on the cross country team this fall, where she qualified for the 2A Mid-West Regional meet. This spring she was named to the Southwestern 2A All-Conference team in soccer and helped lead our ladies soccer team to the 4th round of the NCHSAA state playoffs. She is an outstanding young lady and a fierce competitor. She will attend Appalachian State University

this fall. The Male Athlete of the Year is Larry Dowdy. As a four year starter at tackle in football, Larry was selected All Conference and All State while playing in two NCHSAA State Championship football games. He represented North Carolina in the annual Shrine Bowl All Star game this past December. In track, he threw the shot put and discus in helping lead the boys track team to a second straight Southwestern 2A Conference Championship. Larry will be attending Appalachian State University this fall on a football scholarship.

Gaston College Foundation receives $76,000 grant The Gaston College Foundation today announced a $76,000 grant from the Women’s Impact Fund. The funds will be used to expand undergraduate research through the SPARC program at Gaston College by providing students research experiences in the study of microbial populations and water quality in the Catawba River Watershed. The grant was announced at the annual meeting of Women’s Impact Fund on May 13 at

UNC Charlotte Center City. The Women’s Impact Fund awarded a total of $421,000 to six local non-profits in the areas of Arts and Culture, Education, Health, Human Services, and Environment. The investment, from the Women’s Impact Fund, will be used to address the critical need of increasing the body of knowledge on local water quality and preparing students to enter into Science Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers and

education pathways beyond Gaston College. The grantsupported project will allow students to identify chemical and microbial properties from a variety of sites throughout the region, creating a map of bacterial populations and tracking changes over time. The results of the project will provide students with the opportunity to directly participate in research while contributing to the body of knowledge on water quality in local rivers and lakes.

Since 2009, Gaston College has expanded undergraduate research opportunities in STEM through the SPARC program. Undergraduate Research enhances the college experience for students pursuing an associate of science degree in STEM. For more information on the project, please contact Patricia Williams, Principal Investigator and Instructor of Biology at Williams.Patricia@gaston.edu.

More than 2,000 CCU students named to Dean’s List for Spring 2019 More than 2,000 Coastal Carolina University students were named to the Dean’s List for the Spring 2019 semester. That’s nearly 20 percent of the student body with a grade point average between 3.5-3.99 for the spring semester. Of the dean’s list recipients, 616 are freshmen, 444 are sophomores, 477 are juniors and 522 are seniors. An additional 774 students were named to the President’s List

for achieving a 4.0 GPA during the spring semester. Among the students earning recognition on the Dean’s List: Alexis C. Friday, a Psychology major from Cramerton; Ava M. Smith, a Theatre Arts major from Gastonia. Coastal Carolina University is a dynamic, public comprehensive liberal arts institution located in Conway, just minutes from the resort area of Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Junior American Legion Baseball begins play By Art Shoemaker

Belmont American Legion Post 144 will again sponsor Jr. Legion baseball for the youngsters here in Belmont. 2019 marks the 15th year of play for the Belmont program. Coach Jason Lineberger, South Point High Schools head baseball coach will again skipper our locals. Lineberger is a 16 year veteran at the helm of the Red Raiders. Belmont will host Stuart Cramer in their first outing on Monday, June 10. Games start at 7:00 pm and all home games will be played at Raider field on the campus

of South Point High School. The team will play a 17 game regular season schedule that ends on Monday, July 1. Playoff competition is based on won-lost records during the regular season. Each round of the playoffs is a best of three series. The playoffs begin July 5 followed by the second round starting July 9 followed by the third round on July 12. The third round winner will qualify for the state tournament beginning July 19. Belmont’s regular season opponents include Stuart Cramer, N. Lincoln, Mint Hill, Stanley, Burns, Gastonia, Shelby, and Dallas. Coach Lineberger’s team has a host of quality young athletes. Infielders include Hunter Hogue, Justin Smith, and Cooper Ray. Ray will also be counted on for mound duty. The outer garden will be patrolled by speedsters Will Rhinehart, a top bunter, Quinten Harte, and Ryan

Harris. Both Harte and Harris are good with the bat and are counted on for much offensive production. The pitching staff is well stocked with the likes of Noah Hargett, Marshall Witherell, Colton Knight, Cooper Ray, and Wyatt Triplett. All are capable of having a good season on the hill. Catching duties are in the competent hands of Jackson Risk and Noah Hargett. Both are expected to do an outstanding job behind the plate. Coach Lineberger expressed that Jr. Legion baseball affords his players the opportunity to gain valuable experience in sharpening their baseball skills for the 2020 season at South Point. Many of his players played last season as the team finished with a 12-7 record. As the 2019 season gets underway, American Legion officials ask that fans support the team with their attendance at each game.

After six games the Braves show improvement By Art Shoemaker Last Sunday the Gaston Braves played host to Maiden at East Gaston. On a hot and muggy night the Braves played well through five innings. The team scored single runs in the second, fourth and fifth innings while allowing Maiden a single spot in the second frame. However the game turned south in the final two innings for the Braves as Maiden added three runs in the sixth and put the game away with four runs in the seventh. The Braves were unable to score after the initial three runs and dropped the game by an 8-3 count. Fielding miscues and mental mistakes proved costly. Only one of the eight runs scored by Maiden was earned. Both teams registered eight hits in the game but three fielding errors and other defensive lapses by the Braves led to defeat. South Point’s Jacob Landis pitched well in five innings of work for the Braves. Grayson Thomas and Wesley Hall each pitched an inning but both received little support by the defense. Jason Maggs, a former Stuart Cramer product, along with Zack Summerville who played at North Gaston each had two hits in the game. Dosi Jonas, Jacob Landis, Nolan Cochran and Preston Conner each had a hit. Conner’s hit was a long home run in the fourth frame. Last Tuesday the Braves traveled to Maiden to play Maiden for a second consecutive game. The G-Braves could only tally four scores in the contest with one run in the first, two in the second and one in the third frame. Meanwhile Maiden was very productive with the bats in crossing the dish three times in the first and second innings with two additional runs in both the fourth and sixth innings. The Braves actually out hit the Maiden team with ten hits on the night with Maiden securing nine bingles. However, as has been in

the case in other games, errors played a big part in the loss by the Braves. Four errors proved very costly with only one of the ten runs scored by Maiden being an earned run. Zack Summerville, an all conference performer for North Gaston, started on the hill for the locals but suffered Gaston Braves pitcher #7 Jacob Landis in action against control problems. He threw 87 Maiden. pitches in only three innings of Photos by Christee King

#4 Zach Summerville of the G-Braves gets a hit. work. This being his first outing on the season Coach Mark King feels he will make major improvement and have a better showing in his next outing. Nolan Cochran, a South Point football and baseball standout, finished up for the Braves on the mound. Offensively Carter Merrill was outstanding with the stick. He had three hits on the night, one being a long home run. Zack Summerville and Logan Russell both had two hits in the game. With single hits added by Luke Bumgarner, who is considered by many the best catcher in the league and is headed to Appalachian on a baseball scholarship. Dosi Jonas also had a single that produced a RBI and Wesley Hall had a RBI in the game. Last Friday night the Braves traveled to Audrey Kell High School to play Pineville. The Braves led the Charlotte squad by a 7-0 count going into the

bottom of the fourth. Pineville mounted a comeback and led the game 9-7 after six innings of play. Pineville posted a six spot in their half of the sixth aided by several fielding miscues by the Braves. However the G-Braves were not to be denied victory in this game as they rallied to score eight tallies in the top of the seventh and won the game by 15-10 final score. Cameron Cook was the starting pitcher for the Braves. Cook worked 4 1/3 innings and allowed ten hits and two runs, striking out three and walking one. Hunter Robinson picked up the win in relief. Grayson Thomas and Nolan Cochran also worked out of the bullpen. Wesley Hall had a big night with the bat going three for four, scored three runs and had a RBI. Zack Summerville had one hit with a RBI. Preston Conner had a big hit in the game that produced three RBI’s. Jayson Szot also added two RBI’s with his one hit. Dosi Jonas, Luke Bumgarner and Jacob Landis each had a single hit in the game. Last Saturday night at Raider Field in Belmont the G-Braves played host to their county rivals Gastonia Post 23. Gaston exploded for six tallies in the second inning and never trailed in the contest winning by a final score of 9-4. Jordan Lathe, Jason Maggs, Logan Russell each had hits in the second followed by a triple by Wesley Hall which produced three RBI’s. Lathe, who has been injured, single twice and looked good at third base.

Speedy center fielder Jason Maggs enjoyed his best night at the plate with two singles and a double. In addition to Hall’s triple he later added a single in the game. Steady and strong armed shortstop Preston Conner blasted a long home run that accounted for two RBI’s. He later added a single in the contest. Stuart Cramer’s Andrew Warren got in on the offensive show for the Braves with a double that produced two RBI’s. Others with hits for the Braves were Jason Szot who stroked a double and East Gaston’s Kolby Smith who added a single. The Braves had a total of 12 hits for the game. A marked improvement for the Braves was on the defensive side. The locals have experienced fielding woes all season but Saturday only committed one error. Jacob Landis started on the bump for the Braves and had an excellent outing in his 5 2/3 innings of work. He recorded 5 K’s and surrended only two earned runs. Dosi Jonas worked an inning and struck out three. Jordan Lathe came on to finish up for the Braves in recording the final out. With this win the Braves now sport a 3-3 won lost record in the early part of the Season. After the game Coach Kenneth Pasour said he was very pleased with the offensive output and a much improved defensive performance. He added that this was the most complete all around performance on the season for the Braves.
