Page 2 — Wednesday, April 8, 2009, The Millen News JCHS Eagles win one, lose two The Jenkins County High School varsity baseball team came away from a three-game week with one win and two losses. The Eagles defeated Bryan County 14-6. Leading hitters were: Aaron Comstock 2-4 with a homerun; Josh Lee 2-4 and two RBI’s; Dontavous Young 1-2 with three runs scored; and Spen cer Clark 1-3 with two walks. “It was a great win on the road at Bryan County. The playing conditions were tough for the pitchers. Will Bragg started the game but got in jured in the first inning. Trevor Weathersby, Will Brinson and Aaron Comstock all came on in relief. We are now 4-1 in the region,” commented Coach Wendell Clark. The Eagles fell 12-2 to Aquinas. Leading hitters were Trevor Weathersby 2-3; Spencer Clark 2-3; Aaron Comstock 1- 2 with a homerun; and Aaron Tanner 1-2. “Non-region games are al ways the wildest because you are looking for different things. It’s a good time for young pitchers to try and prove themselves to the coaches. Aquinas had a good group of hitters. Will Brinson, Race Weathersby, Aaron Tan ner and Jonathan Mays all saw pitching action,” said Coach Clark. The Eagles lost to Savannah Christian 8-1. Leading hitters were Dag Gay 2-3 and Spencer Clark 1- 3. Aaron Comstock pitched a pretty good game giving up only three earned runs with four strikeouts going all seven innings. We had our work cut out for us against a very good team, said Coach Clark. Lady Eagles track team finishes third The Jenkins County Lady Eagles track team finished third in the track meet held at Swainsboro March 21. “It was an outstanding team performance for the Lady Eagles,” said Coach Chuck Sanders. Screven County and Swainsboro finished first and second, but the Lady Eagles defeated Metter, Jefferson County, Tattnall County, Hawkinsville, Toombs County and East and West Laurens.
