  Offense: Inexperience is the key word. Nine starters have departed. RB Easton Gordon (5-9, 170, Sr.) and center Josh Dolin (5-11, 235, Sr.) are the only holdovers. Gordon should be one of the region’s top running backs. Brendon Riddick (5-11, 175, Jr.) takes over at QB. He has a superb target in Derrick Britt (5-9, 170, Sr.). The line has good size with all the projected starters weighing 230 or more. Three of them are juniors.

“God has a plan for me,“ says 17-year-old pole vaulter who is battling Hodgkin’s disease. “I’ll be strong, I’ll get through it.“

A girl named Powell won the pole vault and still holds the Central Region track and field meet record. The first name changed, however. Lizzie Powell of Patrick Henry vaulted 12-1 yesterday afternoon at Sports Backers Stadium and surpassed the mark of 12-0 set by her sister, Annie, in 2007. Powell finished ahead of Cameron Overstreet of Atlee. Powell’s expected duel with Atlee’s Emma DeJarnette never got off the ground. DeJarnette no-heighted and aborted several approaches.

Thomas Dale midfielder/forward Will Bates has missed a couple of high school games this season while playing for the U.S. U-18 National team that won a gold medal at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival in January. Still, he has scored 19 goals and delivered 13 assists for the top-ranked Knights entering this week’s district tournament.

Richelle Price scored 21 points, and became Atlee’s all-time leading scorer with 1,447 for her career, as the Raiders defeated the Patriots. Price also pulled down 10 boards, and had three blocks and two steals. Sydney Henderson and Britt Hill each scored 13 points, Taylor Henderson had added 10 for the Raiders. Gracie Schmitt paced Patrick Henry with 13 points, and Taylor Huber contributed 12.

Andrea Sisson totaled 16 points and made 8 of 9 from the free-throw line as the third-ranked Eagles defeated the Patriots. Michelle Foley (15 points) and Rachel Nichols (10 points) both grabbed eight rebounds, and Tricia Watkins contributed 14 points for Mills Godwin. Patrick Henry’s Taylor Huber was the game-high scorer with 21 points, and Katie Anderson added 13.
