Thomas Dale’s girls and Atlee’s boys took the Central Region outdoor track and field titles by wide margins Thursday at Sports Backers Stadium.

The girls competition was won by the depth of the Knights, who had only two event winners, Kortney Williams (shot put) and April Wilson (400).

But Dale got points in nine of the 17 events to pull away, racking up 75 points, 55 without Williams and Wilson’s wins.

Sarah Fulgham and Katea Jemmott tore it up in jumps and sprints, and Kristen Greene doubled up on fourth-place finishes in the throws.

Second was Patrick Henry, led by Lizzie Powell, who beat her own meet record of 12-1 with a vault of 12-3, though she wanted to go 12-9.

“I had just finished running in the 4X100 relay,” said Powell, who ran a terrific second leg on the third-place team. “So my legs are a little worn out from that.”

The Patriots nipped fellow Colonial District member Deep Run 51.5 to 51, but it was Dale’s day, its first girls region track title.

On the boys side, Atlee claimed its second region crown in the school’s 19-year history. It wasn’t close, either.

The Raiders posted 79 points, 20 over Dale and Quintin Fulgham, the long, triple jump, 100 and 200 champion.

Atlee got it done it’s the usual way with terrific depth, and domination in the pole vault. The Raiders put up 19 points in the event alone to offset Fulgham’s unbelievable individual performance.

The senior had Dale up one point with a few events to go, but the Raiders’ depth was too much.

Atlee got wins from its 3,200-meter relay team and Marques Atkinson in the 300 hurdles.

Highland Springs finished third with 51 points, Cosby a close fourth with 50.5.

The favorite son returned with friends and free tutelage.

Over 500 football youths took part in Michael Robinson‘s 1st Excel 2 Excellence Football Camp Saturday at Varina High School.

Robinson was an all-everything player at the school before going on to star at Penn State, and now is a running back and special teams dynamo for the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers.

Robinson, about to enter his fifth season in the league, was noticeably excited about the turnout.

“It kind of feels like it’s 2000,” Robinson said, “and we’ve won another region championship.”

Exactly 509 players participated in the camp from ages 10 to a rising high-school senior.

Philadelphia Eagle and former Highland Springs and Virginia Tech star Macho Harris took part in the camp, as well as Robinson’s 49er teammates Josh Morgan and Manny Lawson.

Elite coaches in the Richmond area also provided tips for the students, like Highland Springs coach Loren Johnson, Varina’s Stu Brown, Meadowbrook’s Troy Taylor, former Huguenot coach Richard McFee, Hanover’s Josh Just and many others.

“We’re just here basically trying to give back to the kids,” Harris said. “We were in their shoes back in the day. Just to give return to them, I know it means the world to them, and it means the world to us to be out here.”

Girls soccer, 5/18/10: #5 Godwin 5, P. Henry 0

Posted on 18 May 2010 by .

Mills Godwin Correspondent

Mills Godwin, ranked fifth in the most recent Digital Sports rankings, scored early in each half on its way to an easy 5-0 Colonial District win over Patrick Henry Tuesday night.
 
Senior forward Marie Krider opened the scoring only a minute and a half into the game as she outraced the defense to a long ball, dribbled ahead, and pushed it past PH keeper sophomore Alex Graf for a quick 1-0 lead.

Four minutes later, at the 34:00 mark, senior outside midfielder Becca Haislip drove the ball down the right side and angled to the middle. Her shot was deflected by Graf, but junior forward Sarah Bellotti was on the opposite side for an easy tap in for the 2-0 lead.
 
Godwin (4-1 Colonial, 9-4-1) had several other chances in the first half, but Graf, who finished with 13 saves, turned them away.
 
Ninth-ranked PH (2-4, 9-6-1) created a few early dangerous situations through the skilled play of senior forward Ginny Gills. At the 37:00 mark, Gills got ahead of the Godwin defense and looked to score, but Godwin’s junior defender Anna Boyce sped back and disrupted Gills from getting off a shot.

That was the Patriots most serious threat in the game as Godwin keepers were credited with only three saves.

The second half saw Godwin strike in the first minute as Haislip fed Krider a pass in front of an open net for an easy score and a 3-0 lead. 

The ball stayed in the Godwin offensive zone and Godwin assistant coach Miranda Watson substituted liberally, resting many of her regulars.

“One of our goals was to get early multiple goals,” Watson said. “Their keeper made some nice plays, but it was nice to rest some of the girls and give some others more minutes,” said Watson.

Haislip pushed the lead to 4-0 at 24:00 as she settled a ball at the top of the 18 and shot past an outstretched Graf.

Sophomore Alayna Vaughan finished the scoring with about nine minutes to go as her corner kick bent untouched into the upper ninety of the goal for the 5-0 final.

“I was surprised. It went a little farther than I wanted it and I didn’t realize it went in at first,” Vaughan said. “I’ve spent some weekends here with my dad working on them.”

The last five minutes saw Godwin replace regular goal keeper, sophomore Jessie Ashworth, with Haislip.

Haislip recorded a save late and finished with the soccer equivalent of hitting for the cycle – one goal, one assist and one save for the game.

Godwin finishes Colonial District play Thursday as they host Hermitage.

Softball, 5/7/10: #4 PH 4, #3 Deep Run 3

Posted on 08 May 2010 by .

Patrick Henry’s unbeaten Colonial District softball campaign ran into difficulty, but the streak continued as the Patriots knocked off homestanding Deep Run 4-3 Friday night.

The Patriots erased a 2-0 deficit, then broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the seventh inning thanks to designated player Katie Woody.

Deep Run walked Madison Gilman and Sam Moore (3 for 3) because of their dangerous bats and to get a force out at each plate.

Alley West had singled earlier and was already on base.

“I was just really nervous,” Woody said. “But I went up there looking for a certain pitch and that’s what I got.”

Woody took Brooke Blankenship‘s pitch right up the middle, scoring West for the winning run.

A tremendous throw from center from Deep Run’s Kelly Foate to Elizabeth Herrman caught Gilman at the plate, but PH pitcher Emma Mitchell shut the Wildcats down in the bottom of the frame.

Mitchell, a sophomore, had nine strikeouts on the night as PH moved to 10-0 in the district, 14-1 overall, its only loss to Hanover rival Lee-Davis.

“We’re off to a really good start,” PH coach Matt Crowder said. “You can’t ask for a better group of kids. They are all dedicated. They work hard.

“We’re just hoping to have some momentum here going into district play and hopefully into the region.”

Patrick Henry 000 030 1 – 4 5 1
Deep Run      110 001 0 – 3 6 1
Mitchell and Gilman; Blankenship and Herrman.
Records: Patrick Henry (10-0 Colonial, 14-1); Deep Run (4-5, 6-10)
