Girls volleyball: Mills Godwin defends Central Region title with sweep

As the mistakes mounted, so did the points for the Eagles, who successfully defended their Central Region girls volleyball title last night at Cosby with a 25-21, 25-17, 25-16 victory the Wildcats.

Girls cross country: Dobbs unseats Lautzenheiser
Deep Run junior Erica Dobbs had a fairly simple, straightforward strategy for the Central Region girls cross country meet: find Midlothian’s Kathleen Lautzenheiser and follow in her footsteps for as long as possible, then win a sprint to the finish line. Executing her plan to topple the two-time defending regional champion was considerably more difficult. But as she rounded the final turn running stride for stride with Lautzenheiser, Dobbs unleashed the finishing kick that earned her all-state honors in the 1,600 meters and pulled away to win her first region title by 5 seconds yesterday at Pole Green Park.
