was a 27-24 win over Mary
Persons.
Donovan Kendrick was
nearly a 1,000-yard rusher
last season. He would have
been, except for missing the
team's last game of the sea
son, and sitting out a good
portion of the Macon Coun
ty game after suffering an
injury. Still. Kendrick
gained 906 yards.
Gone are the players who
took a lot of pressure off
Kendrick. Donte Holmes
will be at Middle Georgia
College, while Dontarrious
Thomas is at Auburn. This
season Collins will find out
just how sturdy his return
ing star is.
One player who is sturdy
is Matt Dennis. He could be
a star on either side of the
line of scrimmage. Primari
ly a defensive lineman last
season, Dennis could be
asked to switch over to the
offensive line this season, a
move coaches feel would
enhance his chances for a
college scholarship. Dennis

Home Journal Sports
The Westfield Hor
nets softball B team
opened the 1999 season
Aug 25 at the Hornets'
Nest, dropping a 10-3 and
4-1 doubleheader to First
Presbyterian.
In game one, FPD
jumped out to a quick 3-0
lead in the first inning, but
Westfield came back to tie
the game in their half of the
first. With one out. Katie
Stewart singled and with
two out. Brittany Sullivan
also singled. After Lindsey
Williamson walked to load
the bases, Becka Roper
knocked in the Lady Hor
nets’ first run of the sea
son, scoring Stewart from
third base.
Worth Chestnut tied the
game with a solid base hit,
plating both Sullivan and
Williamson.
That was all of the
offense for the Lady Hor
nets as FPD picked up sin
gle runs in the second,
third and fifth innings, and
put up four in the fourth
for the 10 3 first game vic
tory'.
In game two, FPD scored
a run in the third, then
added three more in the

attract major college
recruiters as a defensive
lineman.
Fred Ridley has the
potential to be a dominat
ing linebacker this season,
coming off an outstanding
junior year during which he
recorded more than 100
tackles (64 first hits and 41
assists).
In Macon County, second
year coach Chris Reeves
seeks to recover from the
loss of many players. He
opens the season with class
AAA state champion
Dougherty County. He’ll get
an early indication of what
kind of team he has.
Reeves does return out
standing running back
Corkney Drew, who rushed
for more than 1,000 yards
last season. The Bulldogs
will dress out only about 30
players to start the season,
a far cry from the 50 or so
who greeted C.B. Cornett in
fourth to take a 4-0 lead.
The Lady Hornets' only
run came in the fifth when
Nicki Dean singled with two
out and later scored on a
single by Cynthia James.

Peach County returns
quarterback A.J. Johnson
off their state runner-up
team, and he will be looked
to by first year coach Alan
Rodemaker for leadership.
Though Peach has some
lofty pre-season rankings,
it could be a disappointing
season for Trojan fans, who
are among the most sup
portive in this area.
At Northside. Jason Res
pert is back, and he, too. is
a candidate to make the
Home Journal squad for the
second straight year. Res
pert is a perfect size to
attract recruiters, which he
is already doing. At 6 4 and
280, he has the size and
the mobility to play at the
next level.
Down in Dooly County,
they turn out at least one
all-star every year. This
time around, it could be 6-

Dooly County's Bill Clark

this season. He replaces

moving to Baldwin County.
Dan Ragle left Americus
for Ware County, and Eric
Soliday comes back to the
middle Georgia area to take
over the Americus Pan
thers. Soliday had left
Turner County two years
ago for a two-year stint at
Henry County.
Tony Byram left the
Crawford County job in the
hands of his defensive
coordinator Randy Robin
son as Bvram mover to
Heard County. There was
also a change at
Hawkinsville. Jim Morrell
left for Harris County, and
the Red Devils brought
back one-time assistant,
home-grown Lee Campbell
to take over the program.
Campbell had been head
coach at Montgomery
County, so that position
was left vacant. Robbie
Grace gets the job. Donnie
Clack, the longtime Wilcox
County coach, finally
stepped down, and that job
will be handled by David
Cochran. And. of course,
there's Rodemaker at
Peach County.
There will be many
potential all stars to watch
this season. And there will
be several new coaches
under the microscope.
