COUNTY From page jB behind two kills and a ser vice winner from Justin. Demonette Katie Hotchkiss, with her rocket like serve, smashed an ace in a Warner Robins rally that closed the gap to two points, 12-10. Deanna Drain, playing on the backcourt, had sever al close digs in the match, PREPS Front page jB “He’s having a tremendous sea son,” said Perry head coach Andy Scott. “They have another wide receiver who’s just as good as he is. They have a quarterback who is 6-5, 230, and went on a visit this weekend to Alabama. “They have a tremendous group of offensive skill players we’re going to have to focus on.” ’When Henry County has taken the field this season, it usually turned into a basketball-like scor ing pace. The Warhawks average 40 points per game, but give up an average REGION From page jB for an even count, and con nected with the hit to left field. Coach Rodney Culver house never hesitated in sending pinch runner Haley Way home. Westfield broke a 2-2 tie and improved to 9-8 on the season. Way was running for eighth-grader Christine Campbell, who reached on an infield single and moved over a base when Audrey Clearman drew a walk. Pitcher Kelsey Gilliam won for the seventh time with eight strikeouts and one walk in seven innings. The visiting Cavaliers had seven hits, three of them coming in the first inning. Kaitlin Westfall, the leading hitter in GISA AAA softball, had two hits but did not score a run. Culverhouse put Wrye on first base in the defensive lineup and kept Clearman at catcher, the spot Wrye played all last season. Clearman con tinued a good season throw ing out would-be base steal ers as she nabbed Westfall at second in the first inning. She also held on to a foul tip for a strikeout when Mt. de Sales took a 1-0 lead. Westfield tied the game 1- 1 in the home first as Jamie Marshall doubled to deep left and scored on a double by Campbell in the left-cen ter gap. Both hits came with two outs. Marshall drove in the go ahead run for Westfield in the home third. Shae Horsting scored after leading off with a single. Hanna Jones, who moved from first base to her original shortstop position, executed the sacrifice bunt in that inning. Mt. de Sales quickly drew back even 2-2 on one hit and a walk in the top of the fourth. The run scored on a none more impressive that a save that led to Deanna LeShoure’s score. With that play, Warner Robins not only tied the game at 13-13, but maintained a two-point lead up to 18-16. Pate had a key block bring ing Houston back even. But Warner Robins went back ahead as Hotchkiss set a Causey kill and Drain scored off her serve. When Houston looked to have a point, offi cials called for a do-over, of 37. They opened the new year falling to Dutchtowp, a program with very few wins in its brief history, 41-36, but came back to outlast Jones County 51-43. “We tried to make a lot of adjust ments during the offseason,” said Scott about Perry’s need for defen sive improvement, especially in the passing game. “So far this year I feel like we’ve gotten better in our pass coverage, but we have a long way to do in that regard. * “They are a little bit different than Jackson. They are going to throw it 75 to 80 percent of the time. They are a straight drop back pass team. We will have to do a good job mixing it up between pressure and playing man and wild pitch with two outs. Wrye handled her duties at first base well. In the second the Cavs had a run ner on first with one out. On a grounder to Mason Moreland at second base, Wrye took her throw and then fired the ball across the diamond to Campbell to get a double play at third base. Westfield entered the game as eight-time region softball champions. The Hornets clinched first in Region 3- AAA Thursday by demol ishing Southland Academy in Americus 12-1 in five innings. Gilliam struck out six and scattered two hits without a walk in getting the win, and she doubled for an RBI at the plate. Campbell drove in four runs on two hits, Jones had three hits with an RBI and Wrye drove in two runs in what was her first game back after the injury. According to Culverhouse, with the region title clinched Westfield will not go back to Albany to complete a sus pended game with Deerfield- Windsor. The Hornets will fin ish its non-region schedule with a road game today in Macon against Stratford and a home game Thursday against George Walton.

Causey scored two more kills with LeShoure adding one that hit near the side line. That ended the game at 25-22 for the Demonettes. Houston County and Warner Robins made the finals after coming out of round-robin play with Northside High and Perry High with the best records and winning the semifinal matches each 2-0. zone, and do the best we can.” These numbers should make those on the Panther offensive side of the ball salivate. Scott said the Warhawks use a unique alignment on defense with a three-man front and five in the secondary. “They try to move around a lot,” he said. “It’s kind of like the old Joe Lee Dunn, South Carolina type defense. We will have to be on our toes, make sure we block and do what we have to do in that regard.” Henry is also one of those teams Perry could face twice this season before the state playoffs even begin. Both schools are in Region 4-AAA, but in separate sub-regions.

She hit the ball behind her, and it made it over for the ninth straight Warner Robins point. LeShoure took her turn at serve and had two aces to go with an earlier kill in the middle. Kierra Perry got into the act with an ace, but it was Hotchkiss with two more aces at the end to give Warner Robins the 25- Nov. 9, the top four teams in each sub-region cross over (1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3) for a play-in round to qualify for the big tournament. It’s the same situation the Panthers faced last week against the Jackson High Red Devils in Butts County. Against this north 4-AAA sub region foe, Perry faced a halftime deficit of 16-7 but came back to shut down the potentially explo sive Jackson offense and surge ahead 28-16 behind the legs of quarterback Casey Hayward. “It was a great character build er,” said Scott. “We didn’t play well in the first half.

Northside had the first three points of the second game, two of the scores made by Brianna Floyd. LeShoure ended the streak with a kill in the middle, and as errors mounted on the Eagles, the Demonettes were up 10- 4.

From that point, I thought we played well in the second half. “It was the first win at Jackson; by Perry High in the history of this school.” Jackson High, a 10-win team in football one year ago, was looking to shake off an 0-2 start, but could not defend its home turf. Hayward must have found it more to his liking as he scored four rushing touchdowns and accumulated 217 yards on the ground. “The biggest thing is we took advantage of what they were doing to us defensively,” said Scott. “That was a huge key.” V <ni ( an in I lie < .enrgia Army National (.Hard!
