Sticks for Kids program has junior golfers swinging

By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

Give a kid a stick and all sorts of things can happen but in the case of last Wednesday's Sticks for Kids golf event at O'Darcy Mountain View Golf Center near Stanley it was all good.

Sticks for Kids is a national endeavor to teach youth the ins and outs of golf. The Golf Course Builders Association of America established the GCBAA Foundation to provide the necessary tools and opportunities to allow the next generation of golfers to learn and enjoy the game.

Since its establishment, the GCBAA Foundation has taken a special interest in supporting children by launching Sticks for Kids, a junior golf outreach program. The program provides clubs, bags, teaching materials, marketing materials, and instructors for participating courses. Children age 5-18 are taught the fundamentals of the game as well as life lessons such as etiquette, integrity, sportsmanship, safety, and respect for themselves and others.

Last week's program was also made possible by a Gaston County Parks and Recreation grant.

Mountain View owner Pat Cowell lauded Sticks for Kids.

“Sticks for Kids is a great way to grow the game of golf and to get children outdoors and exercising,” Cowell said.

The Clemson University golf team made a stop at O'Darcy on its way to the ACC Championship at the Old North State Golf Club. The players as well as coach Larry Penley shared their knowledge of the game with the dozens kids from area schools who showed up. The Clemson team was also on hand at last year's Sticks for Kids program at O'Darcy.

Some venerable vegetative genes were carried on this time last year when a group of folks got together in the front lawn at Holy Angels in Belmont and planted a sapling grown from an acorn descended from the hundreds of years old Angel Oak in Charleston.

Revisiting the site by the side of Wilkinson Blvd. last week, attendees representing the Sisters of Mercy, Holy Angels, City of Belmont, Keep Belmont Beautiful and others stood under a brilliant sun and azure sky while they recalled that day and also unveiled a marker Jean Wilson (yellow) and Holy Angels President/CEO Regina explaining how the sapling Moody unveiled a plaque last week telling the story of the got where it is now and its Angel Tree and how its sapling got to the Holy Angels campus.

heritage.

The original Angel Oak Tree located on John's Island near Charleston, is nearly 1500 years old, and said to be the oldest living thing east of the Rockies. The tree stands 65 feet tall and spans 187 feet from tip to tip of its longest branches - it provides 17,000 square feet of shade. It takes its name from Martha and Justin Angel on whose ancestral property the tree is located The Holy Angels sapling was sprouted by Belmont residents Jean Wilson and Don Sturkey who picked up several acorns from the Charleston tree a few years ago.

Although only five years old at the time of last year's planting, Wilson wanted to find a home for the tree that would give it the space it needs to continue to grow. The tree's new home on the Holy Angels campus will do just that.

There's another Holy Angels connection with the tree. As a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy in North Carolina – Holy Angels roots go back to Charleston, SC - and the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy. The first Sisters of Mercy to arrive in North Carolina came from Charleston.

Keep Belmont Beautiful and the City of Belmont helped coordinate the tree's planting last year and representatives Judy Closson and David Isenhour were on hand with Wilson, Sturkey, Holy Angels President/CEO Regina Moody and others at the marker unveiling.

Everyone remarked on how well the tree was doing at its new Holy Angels home.

“This tree will be here forever,” said Isenhour.

“It's a good thing it made it through the winter,” remarked Closson.

Wilson agreed.

“It's incredible!” she exclaimed.

Moody said she hoped the tree would grow as large as its parent.

'I'm so happy it's still living,” she said.

A number of dignitaries showed up at Holy Angels last week for the unveiling of the Angel Oak sapling marker.

Photo by Alan Hodge Holy Angels COO and chaplain, Dennis Kuhn summed up the tree nicely in his remarks at the marker unveiling.

“It is a gift of God from nature growing in our midst,” he said. “It is a symbol of growth, life, and hope.”

Holy Angels was founded in 1955 by the Sisters of Mercy - beginning a much needed specialized service for children from Gaston,

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR on the Belmont Christmas Parade Outreach that serves refreshments following the annual parade.

Remarks that appeared on the nomination sheets regarding Sanders include: “Look in the Thesaurus by the word volunteer and you can see an image of Delta Sanders”, and “Delta will tell you God, family, and community make up her life”, and “Getting to know her reveals that giving is so much more rewarding that receiving”.

Sanders was floored by the

news that she had been named Citizen of the Year. Elizabeth Atterberry delivered the news to Sanders where she works at Creative Travel.

“When they bombed me with the announcement I had tears on my face,” she said. “I was completely overwhelmed and humbled by it. When I look at the past recipients, to even be considered is an honor in itself.”

True to her nature, Sanders deflected any glory associated with the award away from herself.

The private, nonprofit corporation located in Belmont, NC, provides residential services and innovative programs for children and adults with intellectual developmental disabilities with delicate medical conditions.

“In the coming year I hope the award brings attention to the organizations I am privileged to be a part of and not me,” she said.

Guest speaker at the BHS Citizen of the Year banquet will be Rev. Dr. Richard Boyce. In honor of its 10th anniversary, the founding members of the BHS will be recognized.

A North Carolinian at Appomattox Second of a three-part series telling the experiences of the Duckworth brothers from Stanley as they took part in reenactments marking the end of the Civil War

By Brian Duckworth and Alan Hodge

First at Bethel, Farthest to the Front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, Last at Appomattox.

Those words are etched on a lonely monument at Appomattox Court House National Park in a small country village in Virginia. To those who remember, it speaks volumes. On April 8 through April 12, 2015, hundreds of reenactors portrayed real-time events of the surrender of General Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant. I, Brian Duckworth from Stanley, was one of the reenactors present for the almost week-long event. I felt it a great honor to be there to portray his ancestor, Pvt. John F. Wilkinson from Company A 12th NC, who was paroled at Appomattox.

The moment we settled into camp on the original grounds, the heaviness of heart really began to set in and a deep sadness permeated throughout the village.

Despite being with friends who I had fought with for four long years beginning at First Manassas in 1861 (2011), we all felt a sadness that must have been felt by the original soldiers. That Wednesday night, we were drenched with a soaking rain and a heavy storm. The thunder sounded like artillery and musket fire at times. Being soaked and knowing that my ancestors suffered through all types of weather through that long war, I shed a couple of tears that night.

Thursday morning brought a fog and we were up before dawn to portray the last attempt to break through the Federal line. We marched through Appomat-

tox Court House and filed out onto the original battlefield. Skirmishers were deployed out in front and we eventually spotted the Union troops across the way.

Confederate artillery opened up and a huge cloud of smoke covered the field and the Union troops disappeared in the blanket of fog and smoke.

We simulated this battle since National Park regulations do not allow reenactments on the actual fields.

We carried this on for three hours. We advanced with the Rebel Yell and carried it for almost a minute. At the end, Federal troops massed and overwhelmed us. A white flag was brought toward the Union lines. . Around 3:00 PM, “General Lee” made his way back to the Confederate lines after meeting with General Grant.

He stepped down from his horse and told us that the army was surrendered and that we needed to go home and be good citizens. Later that afternoon on April 9, 2015, the North Carolina troops formed up and we marched to the North Carolina monument for a very special remembrance service. We played the Old North State and fired a musket salute. I was honored to carry the colors of the 28th North Carolina Infantry, a replica of the flag that was surrendered at Appomattox. We called out the names of the North Carolina units that were there at the end. During the next few days we recreated the Stacking of Arms event along the very same road where the original soldiers were.

On Sunday April 12, when we portrayed the 28th North Carolina Infantry and surrendered the flag, I broke down and wept. To the visitors to these events, they saw the best representation of what it may have been like back in 1865. We stacked our arms and placed our military belts and cartridge boxes on the stacks or on the ground. We marched on through the village and down the road awaiting our paroles.

I dedicate this article to Tom Pettit. In October of 1989, my family and I went to a living history at Appomattox. He was a Confederate reenactor and a Vietnam

veteran. He took special attention to my brother and I and retrieved a hat and a musket from his tent and allowed us to get a photograph. I may not have known it at the time, maybe he did not as well, but this photo inspires me when I speak to children and share the history of this important time in our nation’s history when I portray the Confederate soldier at these events all these many years later. At Appomattox, I not only wanted to honor my ancestors, but wanted to honor a man whose simple act of kindness has inspired me to carry on the tradition.

STICKS FOR KIDS FROM page 1 As the Clemson team members worked with the kids offering pointers and demonstrating proper driving and chipping technique, Penley looked on and gave words of encouragement and advice as well. He is not only the Clemson golf team coach, he’s also a member of the Gaston County Sports Hall of Fame and a graduate of North Gaston High.

“This event allows the players a chance to give lessons to and interact

with the kids,” he said. “it’s a community service project for us.”

Other folks that helped out at the event were the golf teams from Belmont Abbey and Forestview High School.

Abbey golf team member Tyler Satorius had this to say.

“Sticks for Kids is a great experience for everyone,” he said. “Hopefully we can teach the kids something about the game.”

One of the youngsters on hand was

Beth Amos, a 4th grader at Kiser Elementary in Stanley.

“It’s really good to help kids learn about golf,” she said. “I want to get better at it.”

Special recognition was also given at the Sticks for Kids event for two folks who were strong supporters of the program, Mike Taylor, former head pro at Gaston Country Club, and Joe Ratchford of Apple Creek Golf Club. Both men passed away recently.

Colin Wells was wearing his official Sticks for Kids t-shirt when he made this swing at O'Darcy Mountain View Golf Center last week.

Banner-News Sports Abbey softball players Athletes from South Point, Morehead earn and coach honored NCHSAA Performance of the Week Awards Belmont Abbey article

Garrett Davila of South Point High School in Belmont and Candice Corcoran of Morehead High School in Eden are the winners of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Performance of the Week awards, powered by Time Warner Cable SportsChannel with Subway® Restaurants.

Each week one male and one female athlete in NCHSAA competition are selected for this award from nominations received from media and school administrators.

Davila, a senior lefthanded pitcher for the Red Raiders, threw his sixth shutout of the baseball season recently, holding East Gaston to just two hits in a 6-0 victory. He went the distance on the mound, striking out 11 while walking two and hitting one batter. He also supported the South Point cause at the plate with two hits and three runs batted in.

Davila has signed with the University of Tennessee but is also drawing a number of professional baseball scouts at each game.

Five Belmont Abbey softball players were selected to the all Conference Carolinas teams-the most since 2006-and Head Coach Brooke Le Sage was named Coach of the Year and third baseman Sloane McPeak was named Freshman of the Year.

McPeak and freshman leftfielder Alexis Pereiro were named to the first team, while junior pitcher Samantha Jacobs, junior designated player Jena Reisenauer and senior centerfielder Shanie McConnell were all named to the second team. It is the first postseason honor for all five players.

Le Sage is Belmont Abbey’s first Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year selection since the 2005 season. Picked to finish second to last in the preseason coaches poll, Le Sage guided the Crusaders to 14 league wins, an 11 game turnaround from last season, as she led the Crusaders to a third place finish, the highest since 2006. The 14 conference wins equaled the total of the previous three seasons combined. The 14 wins included five doubleheader sweeps. Le Sage’s coached two first team selections this year, the first Crusader to earn first team honors since 2009 and the first time with multiple players since 2006. The five all-conference selections are the most since 2006.

McPeak is the first player in school history to earn Conference Carolinas Freshman of the Year honors. The third baseman led the league in RBIs and hits and was second in home runs. A two time Conference Carolinas Player of the Week performer, McPeak closed the regular season with a .427 average with nine home runs, ten doubles and 44 RBI with a .710 slugging percentage. In conference play, she hit .537 with six doubles and three homers, driving in 23 runs.

Pereiro, the Crusaders freshman leadoff hitter, hit .368 with seven RBI and 23 runs scored. Her .368 average is ninth in the league.

Jacobs fashioned the best single season performance of her career as she won eight games, struck out 104 batters, posted a 3.19 ERA in 123 innings pitched, while tossing four shutouts, all of which are career-highs. She also earned her first career save in the regular season finale, a 6-4 win at King, one game after striking out 13 in a complete game, one hit shutout in a 6-0 victory. She was named Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Week for her efforts.

Her 69 strikeouts in conference play was the most in the league, as was her 12 starts.

Reisenauer hit .343 with five home runs and 43 RBI. She was named Conference Carolinas Player of the Week on March 3 after hitting .545 with two homers, a double and seven RBI. In the circle, she compiled a 1-1 record.

McConnell finished the regular season with a .318 average with one homer and 18 RBI. She posted 18 multi hit games and started every game in centerfield.

Mountain Island Lacrosse U13 Boys had 2 consecutive wins over Weddington recently at Davis Park in Belmont. The scores were 10-4 and 7-6.

South Point falls to Lake Norman 3-2

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

For the Red Raiders to take 1st place in the Big South 2A/3A they would have to get past Lake Norman Charter. That would not be easy. the Knights had been giving everyone in the Big South fits. But South Point was unfazed. They were going to give them a run for their money. Unfortunately for the Red Raiders, Lake Norman had the upper hand on that day. South Point dropped to 2nd place in the Big South losing to Lake Norman 3-2.

The Red Raiders made mistakes at crucial moments. The Knights did what they could to hold South Point back.

“The story of that game is we made more errors then hits.” Coach Jason Lineberger said.

The game was scoreless until the 4th inning when South Point scored on an error and a ground out by Mason Secrest. South Point’s two runs in the 4th were all the Red Raiders would get that day. South Point only generated one hit all evening. That hit came from

Garrett Davila when he had a single in the 4th inning.

On the mound, senior lefty Garret Davila got the start against the Knights. Davila did what he could to hamper Lake Norman. But the offense just didn’t have the muscle to help him out.

Davila struck out seven Lake Norman batters.

“Garrett pitched well enough to win,” Lineberger said. “He just didn’t have the support.”

Even with a limited offense South Point had a chance. The score was still tied 2-2 going into the game’s final inning. Lake Norman scored the winning run in the 8th.

South Point couldn’t get the batting support they desperately needed to score again.

“We were up 2-0 in the 4th,” Lineberger said. “We made some mistakes. We didn’t hit enough to overcome those mistakes.”

With the loss to the Knight South Point is now a game behind Lake Norman in the conference standings.

South Point powers past Ashbrook 12-2

By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com

Sometimes you just make a splash. When the Red Raiders took the field against the Ashbrook Greenwave they were looking for a chance to keep pace with Lake Norman Charter. South Point and Lake Norman have been battling it out atop the Big South 2A3A. The entire South Point roster played well against the Greenwave. But Tanner Muse and Grant Tilley had a game they will remember for awhile as they helped propel the Red Raiders to a 12-2 win over Ashbrook.

Mason Secrest got the start for Big Red. In four innings of play Secrest pitched a good game. Seacrest never struck out an Ashbrook batter but with the help of a solid defense he worked his way past through the Ashbrook lineup. In getting the win Secrest only surrendered two runs in the 2nd inning. Nolan Wilson came in for relief duty and struck out four Ashbrook batters during his time on the mound.

Head coach Jason Lineberger thought

Lady Storm falls to North Gaston

(Above) Kristen Rutledge of Stuart Cramer High hit a chopper and beat the throw to first base in this action from last week’s game against North Gaston. The Lady Storm lost 10-0.

(Right) Stuart Cramer’s Sydney Baxter is focused on the plate as she hurls a fastball in last week’s tough 10-0 loss to North Gaston. Following this game the Lady Storm record stood at 7 wins 12 losses.

Photos by Bill Ward

the Red Raiders delivered the goods against Ashbrook.

“We played well,” Lineberger said. “12-2 in 6 innings. We swung our bats well. We played good defense.”

In a polished offensive effort the Red Raider hammered out 10 hits against Ashbrook. South Point scored most of their 12 runs in the 6th inning. South Point scored 10 runs in the 6th. Six Red Raider batters got hits. But without a doubt the heavy hitting came from Muse and Tilley.

“Muse was 3 for 4 with 6 RBI’s.” Lineberger said.

Right behind Muse was Grant Tilley. Tilley went 3 for 5 against Ashbrook. He also slammed in 3 RBI’s to help the Red Raiders offense.

Also getting hits for South Point were Garrett Davila, Ryland Etherton, Camden Hale and Walker Featherston.

“It was a good team win.” Lineberger added.
