East Jackson Takes Sixth In Region
by Brandon Reed
The East Jackson Eagles boys’
track and field team came out
sixth in the region finals at East
Jackson over the weekend.
Finishing ahead of the Eagles
were Green County, North
Oconee, Washington-Wilkes,
Oglethorpe County and Banks
County. Eleven schools took
part.
Two Eagles qualified for state
competition next month. Brandon
Banks won the 3200-meters,
marking the best effort for East
Jackson of the meet. Banks also
placed fifth in the 1600-meters.
Zach Gilbert will also go to state
after placing second in the triple
jump.
Other East Jackson placers
included Kaharie Beasley, who
won fourth in the 400-meters
and tied for sixth in the high
jump; Wade Mize, who took fifth
in the 400-meters; Cody Hall,
sixth in the 300-meter hurdles;
Matthew Damron, who placed
third in the pole vault; Tommy
Ramsey, who finished fifth in
the pole vault; and Robbie King,
who won fifth in the shot and
fourth in discus.
The team of Robert Mahone,
Mize, Beasley, Deon Sewell,
Gilbert and Terry Cox took
fourth in the 4x400.
The state meet will be held May
8-10 at Jefferson High School.

giving up four runs, three hits,
and striking out seven. Allred
pitched one inning, giving up one
run, one hit and striking out one.
“The guys are playing very well,’’
Robertson said. “I’m very proud
of them. They are listening, and
they’re really, truly playing great
baseball right now. It’s awesome
to watch.’’
Rabun County
On Thursday, the Eagles will
travel to Rabun County to close
out their season with a second-
round tournament doubleheader
against the Wildcats for ninth
place in the region.
The Eagles have faced the
Wildcats three times this sea
son, winning the last two, but
Robertson says that record doesn’t
ensure success on Thursday.
“You’ve got to look at it like
you’ve never seen them before,’’
he said. “It’s kind of a double
edged sword. We know a lot about
them, and we have had some suc
cess against them. Maybe they’re
due. We’re going to take the same
approach to them as we have in
the past. Defensively, we’ve got
to play strong, fundamental base
ball, and make the routine plays.
We’re excited.’’
Robertson says his team is
ready for the challenge.
“These kids are tough down here
now,’’ he said. “They’re tough, and
they’re scrappy. They like that
challenge. We’ve kind of adopted
the slogan 'play like we’re behind
all the time,’ because when we’re
behind, we just don’t let up.
That’s awesome, that’s something
that you can’t really teach. That’s
heart. These guys have a lot of
that.’’
