From page iB
of 3-AAA.
The Bears and the Demons
face strong opposition in
Lowndes, Tift, Valdosta,
Colquitt and Coffee.
I wouldn’t want to have
to compete in that region.
Still, the schools that sur
vive their region schedules
will, I think, be a match for
those teams from Savannah
and Atlanta.
The girls’ teams face some
serious challenges. Although
Warner Robins looks to dom
inate 1-AAAAA, there are
some good teams in other
regions that will be major
stumbling blocks when the
playoff schedule begins.
Cheri White and Kittery
Maine should anchor a com
petent squad.
The Lady Panthers have
their work cutout for them,
but Ashley Roberts really
impressed me. If a couple
more girls on the squad start
playing with her intensity,
Perry could be a big sur
prise.
As long as the Lady Bears
have Tonia Williams, they
should be competitive, espe
cially if Hannah Channell
can regain her pre-injury
form.
I like Channell because
from talking to her, I think
she really understands the
game. The Lady Bears need
her healthy to put some
maturity in the lineup.
Basketball in Houston
County is alive and well and
worth watching.
Also worth watching is the
soap opera called the Atlanta
Falcons.
I’m going on record right
now that Jim Mora Jr. will be
gone next season regardless
if the Falcons make the play
offs. Vick threw two inter
ceptions, and I agree with
the talking heads announc
ing the game.
Vick feels he has to carry
the team, which means he

were busy chasing the ball
out of bounds underneath
their own basket.
Campbell stretched its
lead to eight, 15-7, to start
the first minute of the sec
ond quarter before Warner
Robins closed it to five, 15-
10.
As happened twice dur
ing that period, each time
the Demonettes threatened
to make any kind of run, the
Lady Spartans hit a trey.
The last of those - they
had six in all - in the first
half came with 2:12 left
before the buzzer and put

can’t rely on the other 10
offensive players to get it
done. That’s a coaching
problem.
It wasn’t Vick’s fault that
Carolina was able to control
the game by running the
football.
Georgians will support
pro football, but only when
they see good football being
played. There’s something
about the Falcons. They
remind me of the Chicago
Cubs.
It’s almost as if they’ve
been hexed by the same
demons that made the Cubs
perennial losers.
Like the Cubs, the Falcons
can succeed to a certain
point until they find a way
to self-destruct.
Arthur Blank has a right
to expect his players to win.
My suggestion: move the
team to Los Angeles and
start over with an expan
sion club. Let’s see if a new
team can appease the foot
ball gods. Either that or hold
an exorcism.
The problem seems to be
that Atlanta can’t win at
home. Move the team to
another locale and see if that
changes.
At least I won’t have to
share the misery.
I will tell you now that the
Braves will finish next year
with a losing record. Atlanta
has done nothing to improve
its pitching woes.
It’s time for the Braves to
stop trading for starters and
begin exploiting its minor
league talent pool.
There, Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year. Send
more coal please. It looks
like a cold winter.

“It gives us a lot of con
fidence,” said Hardy about
the effect of winning the
Bear Brawl on the rest of the
season. “The only problem
is we’re off until Jan. (5). I
wish we were playing a game
sometime soon. We’ll have to
get in the gym, practice and
get ready to go.”
Campbell up 28-16.
It wasn’t like Warner
Robins didn’t have its chanc
es. It did - every bit as many
as the Lady Spartans. It’s
just that the latter was able
to take advantage of a few
more than the Demonettes.
Campbell led 32-20 at the
half and 49-30 heading to
the final quarter.
Kittery Maine led the
Demonettes in scoring with
10 while Brittany Hall led
Campbell with 18.
On Saturday against
the Lady Trojans Warner
Robins’ scorers fared much
better.
Maine had 14, Cherie
White 16 and Shayla James
10.
