something else. Thacker was
joined by junior Jana Pedersen,
sophomore Heather Twiggs and
freshman Jessica Bagley in the
long one. But the 4 x 100 was
equally impressive.
’ The team of junior Sarah Riley,
sophomore Amanda Hubbard,
Bagley and senior Shannon
pantrell also took region, then
was seventh at state with a 51.52.
They lost to Central at county, but
stayed hot the rest of the year.
♦ These relay runners from North
had other credentials, too, espe
cially Twiggs and Cantrell.
JVviggs repeated as county champ
in the 3200 and 1600, then took
|econd in both at region - with
season-leading times of 12:11.35
and 5:34.97 respectively. She then
was fifth and sixth at state.
«Cantrell didn’t make state indi
vidually, but she ruled the county
in both the discus (86 feet, three
inches) and shot put (32-7), and
■was third in the 100. She was
third, fourth and sixth in those
events at region.
' Bagley, with seconds in the
county 200 and 400, and third in
the region 200, would also have
made it individually. But her
value was really boosted by her
endurance and maturity as a key
member of both relays.
* Pedersen wasn’t at county, but
was third in the region at 400 and
ran a county-leading 1:00.0 dur
ing the season. Riley and Hubbard
had just-miss placings at the two
meets.
; That Lady Bulldog 4 x 100 relay
that beat North at county (52.41)
was the comerstone of their team

being on a girls team.”
Fahey left no doubt about the
impact Bennett has had on the
team. “She was the leading
scorer this year (again),” he
said. “In the games where we
lost ... if they shut down
A&hleigh, we were in trouble.
She was (much/of) our offense.”
♦The coach also commended
Sennett on what she meant to
e team in other respects, say
ing she was the team mentor in
spirit, even if North didn’t have
an season-long team captain.
j’She was such a joy to work
with,” added assistant coach
ICJhris Chriss. “She was very
respectful of the coaches.”

Denier, who is also the owner of
Qaruso’s Italian Restaurant in
Dahlonega. The team’s 20-game
schedule will begin at the end of
Xutoust.
"bur goal this year is to get to
fche playoffs and do well,” said
Denier in a press release
again, also taking second in the
Region 7-AA meet to go to state -
where they were eighth in their
heat.
Senior Erin Shultz was its
anchor. The county sprint queen
her entire career, she swept to
titles there in the 100 (13.47), 200
(27.71) and long jump (15’1-
1/2”). She was runner-up in both
dashes at region, plus had a fourth
in the jump, then was seventh in
the semis in the dashes at state.
Senior Brooke Bagby, junior
Jamie Wilson and freshman
Suzanne Daniell all had other cre
dentials besides just being part of
that relay.
Bagby overcame an illness at
county, where she was second in
the 100 hurdles, to get second at
region and post a seasonal best
16.96 at state in her heat (sixth).
She also a force in the long jump
and 200 during the year.
Wilson won the county triple
jump (28’3”), was second in the
high jump, then was fifth and
fourth in those at region. Daniell
was second in the county 100 and
fourth at region.
Back to the hurdles, Bagby’s
exploits were joined by those of
seniors Meredith Tallant and
Jessica Finley; both made state for
the second straight year.
Tallant won the county 100 hur
dles and was second at region -
just missing the win - then sev
enth in her heat at state (16.98).
She was also strong in the high
jump and long hurdles.
Finley was the best in the latter,
however, winning county again
then getting second at region. She
will be held June 15-18.
Fifth and sixth graders meet
from 8-10 a.m., third and fourth
from 10:30-noon and seventh

good chance of doing just that.”
“I really like the coach; he
knows a lot about soccer,” said

was sixth in her heat at state with
a personal best 50.70 and also did
well in the high hurdles and high
jump.
Others on the team from Central
included Crystal Brand and Sara
Levis. Brand again shone in the
distance runs, getting second in
the county 3200 and third in the
1600, then improving her times
for a pair of thirds at region - just
missing state. Levis is a special
case; she did not compete at
region, but as county high-jump
champ (4’ 10”), she gets in.
From North, there’s also junior
Jody Bruder and freshman Casey
Castleberry. The former was run
ner-up in the county 800 and
1600, then fourth in the latter at
region. The latter was third in the
county 3200, then sixth in same at
region.
Honorable mentions include
Sarah Dotson, Jill Martin and
Shannon Waldrip of South; Kim
McLeod, Karla Hyder and Illg of
Central; and Vanessa Cano and
Alicia Turner of North.
Martin was probably the leader
of the Lady Eagles, with placings
in the region 200 and 400. Dotson
was third in the county discus and
Waldrip sixth in the region 300
hurdles.
Hyder just missed the finals in
both hurdle races after a third in
the county 300 s. McLeod was
third in the county 400 after a
solid early season and Illg third in
the county 800.
Turner was second in the county
discus and third in the shot behind
Cano’s second.

in soccer, basketball and all the
rest.

Sunday’s Fishing Tips
Using the bait-casting reel
The bait-casting reel is more
than 100 years old and it repre
sents one of the greatest pieces
of fishing equipment ever
invented.
This reel has gone through lots
of changes in design and
appearance, but one fact still
remains clear - this is a great
fishing tool.
But for many fishermen, this
reel has more mysteries than
answers. And the worst problem
is the fact that this reel has a
really bad habit of backlashing.
A backlash occurs when the
reel spins faster than the angler
can control the spin. But there a
few basic tricks that make the
bait-casting reel part of every
fisherman’s tackle.
There are lots of reel ratios
available but the simplest ratio
is 3 to 1. And many of the
newer reels offer a set of mag
nets that are, in principle, keep
ing the reel from backlashing.
While this feature might work
on some models, set the mag
nets on ‘s’ and forget them.
There are easier ways to keep
the reel from the dreaded back
lash.
On the side of the reel plate,
there is a small adjustable but
ton that controls the tension on
the spool. This is the device that
needs to be set to keep the back
lash problem under control. But
there is a rule that needs to be
followed.
Each lure cast with the bait
casting reel needs to be individ
ually set with this button. The
best way to set this adjustment
is to tighten the button all the
way down until the lure will not
fall with the reel in free spool.
Now very slowly turn the but
ton until the lure starts to fall.
Once the lure begins to fall, the
spool should stop spinning once
the lure hits the water. This will
help eliminate lots of backlash-
One other tip is to use heavier
lines on the bait-casting reel.
Sizes of line start with 12-
pound test and go up.
Lighter lines require a lot
more control and lighter lures
are harder to cast on this outfit.
