Three Cheers
Commerce Competitive Cheerleading Team
Wins Class A Title In Columbus
It took less than 20 minutes for Commerce
High School to win the state championship in competitive cheerleading.
Every time the team competed this year, it was judged on a two-and-a-half-minute
routine.
While countless hours of preparation filled the gaps, the whole
season came down to a handful of those sessions.
Commerce made the most important performance pay off Friday afternoon
with the best effort in Class A at the Columbus Civic Center.
The event had been scheduled for Jan. 29, but was postponed due
to wintry weather around the state.
Commerce earned a spot in the state event by winning the Region
8-A title last month at Dawson County High School.
Commerce took first place. Bremen was the second-place team.
Other schools in the event included: Aquinas, Dawson County, Irwin
County, Bacon County, Hawkinsville, East Laurens, Gordon Lee,
Monticello, Miller County, Metter, Brookstone, Emanuel County
Institute, Landmark Christian and Calhoun.
Tigers Advance To
Semifinals
CHS Downs Wesleyan For 3rd Time
Saturday night's win over Wesleyan came
easily, but at a high price for Commerce.
The Tigers breezed to an 86-46 win Saturday, but lost senior guard
Daniel Carder to a sprained ankle.
That meant that Commerce would have to face Wesleyan for the third
time in a week in the first round of the subregion tournament
Monday night without the team's second leading scorer, Carder.
But the Tigers proved that they have plenty of other weapons in
a 78-65 win over the Wolves.
The team's offensive leader, Michael Collins, led the scoring
with 27 points and 11 rebounds, despite being hounded by a box-and-one
defense that concentrated on him.
Junior Wes Massey poured in 23 points. Twion Shealer added 21
points and eight boards.
After scoring a total of five points in the previous two meetings
with Wesleyan, Massey knew he would have to pick up some of the
slack created by Carder's abscence.
"When you lose a player like Daniel, you can say that you
lose 50 percent of your offense," Massey said. "But
you also lose rebounds, defense, leadership - he just does a lot
for this team. Coach (Rex) Gregg said that somebody was going
to have to step up.
"It wasn't really that hard for me. When they ran the box-and-one
on Collins, it really freed me up."
Massey attempted 10 shots from the field in the game, all were
three-pointers. Six of his field goals found the mark.
The Commerce team also reversed its season-long woes at the foul
line, hitting on 11 of 12 attempts Monday night.
Both teams had excellent nights shooting.
Commerce was 57 percent from the floor and 92 percent from the
line.
Wesleyan shot 57 percent from the floor. The Wolves hit all three
of their foul shots.
Commerce did not give Wesleyan a chance to score points at the
foul line in the second half, as the Tigers committed no fouls.
The effective shooting limited rebounds to 43 for both teams for
the entire game.
Commerce had grabbed 40 rebounds on its own in the two teams'
game Saturday night.
"We played a great game offensively," Gregg said. "We
moved the ball well. I didn't think we took that many bad shots."
Monté Williams finished the night with eight assists.
WESLEYAN II
At full force, Commerce handled Wesleyan 86-46 Saturday night.
The Tigers jumped to a 23-11 lead at the end of the first quarter
and never looked back. Leading 48-27 at the half, Commerce had
already scored more points than the Wolves would manage for the
game. Four Tigers finished in double figures for scoring.
Carder had 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists before exiting
the game with his injury.
Collins led the team with 21 points. He added seven boards, four
steals and six assists.
R.T. Poole had a season high 20 points as a starter. Twion Shealer
had 18 points and six rebounds. Massey had no points in the game,
but dished out seven assists.
GAC
The top seeded Greater Atlanta Christian Spartans did not let
up in their game Friday night against Commerce.
GAC used a 22-11 edge in the second quarter to pull away and coast
to a 92-76 win.
GAC controled the boards, grabbing 24 defensive rebounds to Commerce's
eight.
The Spartans shot 64 percent from the field and 79 percent from
the line.
Collins scored 23 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. Shealer
scored 17 points. Carder had 13 points. R.T. Poole had eight points.
WESLEYAN I
Commerce downed the Wolves 79-48 in the first meeting of the season
for the two teams in Norcross on Feb. 1. A 20-5 run in the final
period pulled Commerce ahead for the win.
Collins led the team with 25 points. He added seven boards and
four assists.
Carder had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
Shealer scored 15 points and grabbed nine boards.
RIVERSIDE
Commerce picked up a 74-60 win against Riverside Jan. 25. Carder
led the Tigers with 26 points. Collins added 21 points and 11
rebounds. Shealer scored 14 points. Massey had 11 points.

Lady Tigers, 71-51
The Commerce Lady Tigers' season came to
a close Tuesday night at the hands of a 71-51 loss to Wesleyan
in the Region 8-A South tournament at Jefferson High School.
Further details were not available at press time.
Monday's meeting with the Lady Wolves was the third in one week
for Commerce.
Commerce closed out the regular season with a 65-52 loss to Wesleyan.

Dragons
earn subregion win
BY TIM THOMAS
Subregion 8-A south tournament action is in full tilt this week
at Jefferson High School.
The Lady Dragons earned an opening-round bye with a second-place
finish in regular season subregion standings, and will see semifinal
action against Greater Atlanta Christian Thursday at 4 p.m.
Meanwhile, Bolling DuBose's fourth-seeded boys defeated Providence
Tuesday night, 64-52. Buzz Wehunt was a perfect 10-for-10 from
the foul line in the final two minutes, and Daniel Goza pulled
in three key defensive rebounds with less than one minute to play.
Both teams were sluggish out of the gate, and turnovers and missed
shots were in abundance on both sides. Four minutes into the game,
the score was knotted at 2-2.
Michael Newton hit a three-pointer late in the first frame to
give the Dragons a 12-9 lead. Providence used a pair of three-point
plays to go up 28-25 at intermission.
Jefferson heated up a bit in the third, as Wehunt scored seven
of his 23 in the quarter. His team trailing 37-35, Wehunt teamed
with Ryan Gurley to grab a steal, then raced to the basket for
a layup and foul. The charity shot whooshed through the net.
Goza followed Wehunt's antics with two points of his own, and
Nick Sheridan added two more after a Providence charge turned
the ball over. Jefferson led 44-40 going into the final period.
Providence tied at 48 with five minutes to play, and trailed by
only one at the three-minute mark. Goza and Kyle Potts teamed
up to block a Providence shot under the net, and the possession
arrow pointed to Jefferson after a jump ball was called.
Jefferson grabbed the momentum and ran with it, with Wehunt's
10 foul shots leading a 10-1 run to close the game.
The Dragons face a tough challenge Thursday against the number
one seed, GAC. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. Wins by Jefferson teams
Thursday would clinch spots in the state tournament.
Dragons
demolish area IV-A
'Most outstanding area
performance in school history'
BY TIM THOMAS
Jefferson wrestlers will travel to Riverside Military Academy
Friday and Saturday to vie for the 2000 state class A wrestling
championship. The Dragons are ranked second in the state, behind
defending champion Lovett.
Jefferson will be represented in 13 of the 14 weight classes,
more than any school other than Lovett. The Lions qualified all
14 wrestlers for the tournament, including seven area champions
and four runners-up.
This weekend's state tournament will mark the final coaching event
of coach Jack Keen's career. The Dragons face a tall order in
trying to surprise Lovett and take the class A trophy.
Lovett returns six medal-winners from last year's state championship
team, including two champions. Jefferson has only three returning
state placers Justin Gooch (2nd, 125), Eric Wilburn (2nd,
135) and Steve Green (4th, 160).
On paper, the Lions hold about a 70-point tournament advantage
over Jefferson, but that margin could be made up with two or three
well-placed upsets.
One potential match to watch is between Green who is 36-0
on the season and Lovett's Charles Beard at 171. Both are
returning fourth-place winners, but Green has moved up a weight
class, while Beard has moved down. Barring a prior upset, the
two should meet in the semifinal round. The winner would earn
his team a 20-point swing in the standings. Thrown into the mix
is Bo Dettmering, a Northgate wrestler who finished fourth at
152 last year. Green and Dettmering would meet in the quarterfinals.
Michael Albea, Joseph Carter, Chris Seibert and Chad Hemphill
all face tough competition in their half of their respective brackets.
All four Dragons would meet defending state champions before the
finals.
Though Jefferson is likely the only team that could give Lovett
a run, six others will bring a significant number of wrestlers
to the tournament. Armuchee and Irwin County each qualified 12,
and Commerce 11. Landmark, McIntosh and Northgate will each have
10 in the tournament. The top eight teams will showcase 41 percent
of the field. A total of 38 schools will be represented at the
tournament.
Wrestling is set to begin following opening ceremonies at 3 p.m.
Friday, and continue through 9 p.m. There will be a 45-minute
break at 5 p.m. Semifinals are scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday,
with final ceremonies at 6 p.m. and championship matches commencing
around 6:30.
In winning last weekend's area tournament, Jefferson wrestlers
turned in what coach Jack Keen termed the most outstanding area
performance in school history. Jefferson placed 11 wrestlers in
the final round, with six winning individual championships. Two
others finished third.
Eric Wilburn was voted the tournament's most outstanding wrestler,
after he defeated Commerce foe Lee Sorrow in the 135-pound final.
Sorrow had previously beaten Wilburn three times this season.
Both Sorrow and Wilburn won state medals last year, Sorrow a bronze
at 130 and Wilburn silver at 135.
Keen also pointed to a number of other Jefferson wrestlers who
came up with big upset wins to help the Dragon effort. Blake Gooch
and Chad Hemphill each contributed key upset wins in the semifinals
at 119 and 189. Joseph Carter managed two big upsets at 145 in
the quarter and semifinals. All three wrestlers earned second-place
finishes.
Winning area titles were Jeremiah Wilson, Michael Albea, Justin
Gooch, Wilburn, Hunter Garner and Steve Green. The six area champions
have combined for an amazing 186-21 record on the season.
Runners-up were B. Gooch, Jeremy Smith, Carter, Chris Seibert
and Hemphill. Clint Bryson and Brendon Kemp finished third, and
Jon Veldhuis fifth.
STATE PREVIEW
This weekend's state tournament will mark the final coaching event
of Keen's career. The Dragons face a tall order in trying to surprise
Lovett and take the class A trophy.
Lovett returns six medal-winners from last year's state championship
team, including two champions. Jefferson has only three returning
state placers J. Gooch (2nd, 125), Wilburn (2nd, 135) and
Green (4th, 160).
On paper, the Lions hold about a 70-point tournament advantage
over Jefferson, but that margin could be made up with two or three
well-placed upsets.
One potential match to watch is between Green who is 36-0
on the season and Lovett's Charles Beard at 171. Both are
returning fourth-place winners, but Green has moved up a weight

JHS
alumnus booted from GSU baseball
Former Jefferson baseball
standout Jody Pollock was among four players dismissed from the
Georgia Southern baseball team last week.
In a press release dated February 1, head coach Rodney Hennon
said the dismissals were the result of "a repeat infraction
of athletics department and team rules."
The release indicated that players were "involved in a similar
incident during the 1998 season [and] were issued a private departmental
reprimand outlining the potential severity of future penalties."
Also dismissed were senior third baseman Ryan Peterson, junior
outfielder Scott Burks and pitcher Rhett Roberts. Pollock, a senior,
played third base for the Eagles last year, leading the team with
a .387 batting average.
"We regret situations like this require extreme action,"
Hennon said. "However, for the benefit and future goals of
the team and program, this was a very serious issue which needed
to be promptly addressed."
Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Sam Baker agreed with Hennon.
"I fully support the decision made by coach Hennon and his
staff," said Baker. "It's certainly disappointing, but
no one player or players are ever larger than the program. We
owe it to our commitment to departmental integrity and the responsibility
of institutional decorum to address this situation."
Jackson County
third in area, qualifies seven for state
BY TIM THOMAS
Seven Jackson County wrestlers will travel to Columbus this weekend
to participate in the 2000 class AAA state wrestling championship.
Matches are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Friday, and continue
through around 9:30 p.m., with a 90-minute break at 5:30 p.m.
Semifinals kick off Saturday's action at 10 a.m., and wrestling
will continue until 4:30 p.m. Final ceremonies begin at 6:30 p.m.,
with championship matches immediately following.
Last weekend's area tournament may have set off a fiery new rivalry
between Jackson County and Habersham Central. The Raiders finished
first with 213 team points, followed by host Newton County at
181 and Jackson County at 168.
Team spirit reached a fever pitch several times during the tournament,
as Panther and Raider wrestlers squared off in a number of close
matches.
Friday night's 145-pound match between Wesley Colley and Habersham's
Matt Speed finished with a close decision in favor of Speed. Colley
remained on the mat while coach Phil Thurmond contested the scoring.
After a lengthy delay, Speed was brought back to the mat and Colley
declared the winner, 10-9. Habersham fans were irate, and cheered
against Jackson County for the remainder of the tournament. Colley
and Speed met later in the fifth-place match, with Speed coming
out on top, 7-2.
Saturday morning's match between Brian Bowles and Raider Matt
Cantrell at 130 set Habersham fans off again. A late 4-2 score
ballooned to 14-13 in favor of Bowles as the pair tumbled through
several moves just before the buzzer. The quick scoring had the
scorer's table unsure about the outcome, but Bowles was given
the nod after a brief huddle between coaches and officials.
Bowles went on to finish second to Mitch Rogers of Newton County.
The final match between the two was voted the best match of the
tournament, as Rogers took a 3-1 win.
Brian Gower (275) was also involved in a contested match in the
semifinals, with Habersham's J. D. Broner. At one point, Broner
was awarded a takedown as the pair went off the mat. Gower managed
to get away quickly, and the official waved off the takedown.
Disgusted Habersham fans raised the roof again.
The excitement seemed to invigorate Broner, who earned a takedown
later in the match to take a tight 2-0 decision. Gower went on
to qualify for the state tournament with a third-place finish.
Jarad Herrington earned a second-place finish at 125, losing to
defending 119-pound state champion Paul Stansbury of Dacula. Herrington
and Stansbury have squared off several times during the season,
the most notable being Herrington's win in the final round of
the Panther Invitational. Stansbury took the top spot in the area
with a 3-1 decision. Herrington and Stansbury are considered by
many to be the top contenders for a state title at 125.
Others qualifying for state were Rusty Colley (first at 119),
Stephen Ledbetter (first at 135), Jason Powers (second at 103)
and Steven Barber (second at 215).
Travis Ingram took sixth at 152. Others competing in the area
tournament were Josh Jackson, Matt Potts, David Elkins, Jordan
Breit and Lee Reece.
On to the next
level
Austin, Ballenger, Cleghorne qualify for
state tourney
BY ZACH MITCHAM
Three Madison County wrestlers - sophomore Steve Austin and juniors
Matt Cleghorne and Randall Ballenger - earned a trip to the Class
AAA state wrestling tournament in Columbus this weekend.
All three placed in the top four in their weight classes in the
11-team Area 8-AAA tournament at Newton High School in Covington
Saturday.
Austin took third in the 119 lb. division. Cleghorne was fourth
in the 103 lb. weight class and Ballenger placed fourth in the
125 lb. division.
While several Raider wrestlers turned in notable performances,
Madison County did not fare well, finishing 10th out of 11 teams
in the tournament with 66 points.
Habersham Central won the event with 213 points; Newton was second,
181; and Jackson County was third, 168.
Raider head coach Greg Gaines said he was pleased with the efforts
of the the three qualifiers. Gaines said he expected Cleghorne,
a force in the 103 lb. division, to qualify for state. But he
was somewhat surprised with Austin and Ballenger.
"Steve pulled off some serious upsets," said Gaines.
"He beat the three and four seeds to get to third place."
Gaines added that Ballenger also defeated a couple of formidable
foes.
"He (Ballenger) beat two guys he'd never beaten," said
Gaines. "He beat one guy he lost to in 39 seconds earlier
this year."
Raider wrestlers Adam Thompson, Gary Evans and Joey Cash each
finished sixth in the area tournament.
Gaines said that he expected five Raider wrestlers to qualify
for the state tournament.
"Of the five I expected, only one made it," he said.
"That will tell you that anything can happen."
While Madison County struggled with injuries and sickness at times
this season, Gaines said he felt his squad had a good year. He
noted that 21 wrestlers will return next season.
Seniors on this year's squad include Tony Patterson, Thompson,
Evans, Cash and Nathan Bullock.
The state tournament will begin Friday at 11 a.m. at the Columbus
Civic Center.
