Lee County XC runs in Stratford Academy Invitational
Special to the Ledger
By Jennifer Perkins
The Lee County Cross
Country team traveled to
Macon for the Stratford
Academy Invitational
on August 29, 2019. The
varsity teams boarded
the bus with the usual
anticipation of a meet
with an added twist of
competing a day later
than planned. The origi
nal date for the meet was
August 28 due to a por
tion of the course being
under water. However,
the challenging course
was in good condition on
race day.
The varsity girls’ team
was first on the line that
afternoon. Ten teams
lined up and raced the
two-loop course. It was
a show of determination
and persistence of the
99 runners competing.
Stratford Academy’s
Dylan Driver crossed
the line first in the
time of 23:19. Stratford
Academy also placed
first in the overall team
competition. Lee County
ran strong and tough,
earning the third place
overall team award with
two runners in the top
10.

is the Savannah Station
in downtown Savannah.
She gave me the sweetest
hug of the night. It was
authentic for the years.
When she introduced
us to her husband, she
told him she graduated
with me, but Tammy
my little sister who was
standing with us, was her
truest friend. I thanked
Theresa for being such a
great friend to Tammy
Theresa was the Flag
Captain of our band.
Tammy inherited that
mantle when Theresa and
I graduated.
I was honored to sit
with Tammy and her hus
band, Chris Rahn, among
others at our table. Chris
was the Quarterback of
the football team. Other
friends came and went
during the evening. I
spoke to many. Some I
didn’t. One girl I dated.
I wouldn’t want to be
greeted like Jack Spar
row. I might not deserve
that. But then I might.
“I will sit here and dance
with the girl what brung
me.”
Speaking of that girl
what brung me, I married
a yankee. There we were
at an Effingham Coun
ty High School Rebel
Reunion, and I’m sitting
there with a yankee.
Even among rebels I’m
a rebel! But I love my
yankee. I didn’t have a
high school sweetheart
so I brung my college
sweetheart. We’ve been
married 33 years.
The atmosphere of the
evening was of love and
acceptance. Everybody
was celebrated on equal
terms. That was due to
the great leadership of
the Class of 1979. Not
to be forgotten: As we
walked in, there was a
desk with shelves on it
with several pictures.
They were the pictures
of those students as they
appeared in high school.
There was a cross shar
ing the space with them.
I remember those faces
as if they were yester
day. But these were
the graduated from this
life. Silently that sat in
suspended animation as
their memories contin
ued their courses in our
minds. Their memories
were to share the evening
as guests of honor.
“Let not your heart be
troubled; you believe in
God, believe also in Me.
In My Father’s house
are many mansions; if
it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come
again and receive you to
Myself; that where I am,
there you may be also.”
(John 14:1-3)
