Melinda Goodson coached basketball in Roxboro for five years. This year, she’ll hop a couple of counties over and take over the helm of Northern Vance’s girls’ basketball program.

Goodson coached at Person High School be-fore spending last year in Winston-Salem. She takes over the helm of the Lady Viking ship from Vangie Mitchell.

“I’ve enjoyed it immense-ly,” Goodson said of her time at Northern. “I love coach-ing the game. I love work-ing with young ladies and trying to mold them into women.”

“This is my passion, it’s important to me.”

Northern’s recent teams haven’t made a big mark in the win column. The Vikings saved their best for last in February, win-ning their lone conference matchup in the final game of the season. Kendall Wil-son drained a game-winner in the final seconds to beat Chapel Hill.

For Goodson, it’s about changing the culture.

“I think we can be a win-ning team, I just have to... reprogram the girls and try to build a different culture about women’s basketball,” she said. “We could be suc-cessful, we just have to put things into place — and repetition and repetition.”

Goodson brings a defensive mindset.

“Defense is held to the ut-most, and practices — I value my practices.”

The Vikings field quite a few upperclassmen and returners. Out of 15 players,

four are new to the program.“We’re pretty old in terms

of numbers,” said Goodson. “It doesn’t really matter to me. I’m just going to play the ones who are out there with higher basketball IQs, and also who practices the hardest.”

Goodson admits there isn’t a standout, go-to player yet

— but she doesn’t feel that’s a bad thing.

“In all honesty, my team, I don’t have a superstar. And that’s what I like. I love that,” she said. “We play team ball here.”

This season’s edition of Northern Vance boys’ basket-ball has some big things in its favor — literally.

In addition to returning several from last year’s playoff squad, the Vikings feature six players on the roster at 6-foot-4 or above.

“We have a lot of potential with this team,” said coach Wilton Baskett.

“We’ve got a little size, six-fours and six-fives, so we’ve got a little size and we do have seven returning varsity play-ers from last year, which is a norm for us.”

In the early stages of the preseason, Baskett is optimis-tic, but admits the team is still trying to find its way.

“I’m really excited about what we’ve got going on here. Exactly what kind of team we’re going to have I don’t know yet,” he said.

“I know what the potential is.”

Baskett thinks his team might be among the tallest in the conference, with 6-foot John Nelson at guard, 6-foot-4 Quentin Rice at the 1- or 2-spot, 6-foot-6 Koffi Sneed

and 6-foot-5 Phillip Martin at the forward positions, and 6-foot-7 Armani Williams at center.

“We’re pretty big. I’m happy about that because it does take a little size,” said Baskett.

Senior Rice is expected to shoulder some big responsibil-

ity on both sides of the ball this season.

“I’ve used Quentin a little bit in practice as a 1 and as a 2, and he’s looking really good doing that,” said Baskett. “He looks good no matter where I put him because he’s a heck of an athlete. Plays hard, and

I’m sure we’re going to get big things about him. We’re prob-ably going to be able to change our defense a little bit because he is going to be a little bit im-posing to the guards, and that’s what we plan on using him at.”

Williams and D.J. Alston, Baskett said, have been “all

over the rim so far.”“We’re expecting big things.

We should be good.”Baskett said his health was

an issue last season. The coach had less time early in the year to work with the team than he’s used to.

“This year, I feel pretty good. I think if that be the case, if I have a chance to work with them and get them to where they need to be, I think we’re going to have a real good team.”

The Vikings were co-champi-ons of the Carolina 3A Confer-ence last season, but received the No. 2 seed after losing a tiebreaker game to Cardinal Gibbons.

The conference ended up in a logjam in the end, with three teams under Northern and Gibbons with identical 5-5 records.

But Baskett isn’t too con-cerned with the other teams in the conference right now.

“Don’t spend too much time with them, being honest. My concern is (my team). As long as I get them guys right, we’ll take care of them, no matter what they’ve got.”

Northern Vance’s Lee Root swims the breaststroke in this January file photo.


After sending nine swimmers to regionals last year, Northern Vance coach Natasha Rubin has lofty goals for this year’s swim team.

“All around they look strong. They’ve been very unified, very moti-vated in practice,” she said. “They’ve been very focused. I’m very excited about our season.”

Returners David Porter and Lee Root are the senior captains for the guys’ team, and Andy Tillotson and Josh McLawhorn are the junior captains.

Katie Childers and Kendall Brinker are senior captains for the girls, and Abby Ellington is a junior captain.

There are few new faces on the boys’ team, but less on the girls’.

“Lots of returning swimmers,” said Rubin. “We look very strong right now — stronger than we were last year.”

McLawhorn, Rubin said, has been training year-round.

“He looks stronger than he’s ever been. Lee Root looks pretty strong on the guys’ side, so does David Porter,” she said.

“The guys’ team is bigger than it’s ever been. I’m hoping to see real good

things from the guys’ team. Girls’ team, I’m hoping to make finals or re-gionals at the least, if not get us even going to states hopefully this year for both teams.”

Last year, McLawhorn swam the 200 and 400 free relays, and the 50 free at regionals. Porter, Aaron Daeke and Adam Daeke swam the 200 relay, while the Daekes and Root joined McLawhorn for the 400.

Abby Ellington, Alexandra Hughes, Annie Twisdale and Laura Copley swam the 400 free relay for the girls’ team at regionals. While the team has been successful in relay events, Rubin said she’d like to see swimmers make more individual cuts.

“We’ve had a harder time making it to regionals in individual events in the past. We’ve been pretty strong in our relays,” she said. “So I guess (a goal would be) moving towards maybe getting some more individual cuts for regionals, and... hopefully trying to qualify for state would be an ultimate goal.”

Northern’s first meet will be Nov. 29 against Southern Vance and Bunn at the Aycock Center.

Raiders ready for another run

Simpson steps up as head coach for Lady RaidersBy ERIC S. ROBINSONDispaTch sporTs eDiTor

After three years as an assistant coach at South-ern Vance, Amy Simpson is stepping up.

Simpson will be the head coach of the Lady Raiders this season, re-placing Tracey Turner in the role. The former N.C. State player (1999-2003) feels that seeing the game from the assistant coach’s point of view for a few years will help her transi-tion to the head coaching spot.

“I think that not rush-ing into it once I became a teacher over here at Southern Vance, I’m able to mature as a young coach and be able to teach these young girls a lot of the stuff that I learned when I was in college,” she said.

Simpson inherits a Southern Vance team that represented the Carolina 3A Conference as a No. 3 seed in the state tournament last season.

But this year’s team looks a lot different with two major contribu-tors missing. Standout Shauna Terry just started her freshman season at Western Carolina, and Tremanisha Taylor will suit up for track and field

at N.C. State.The duo provided the

bulk of the Lady Raiders scoring and rebounding. Simpson knows it will take teamwork to fill the void left with their departure.

“You replace them by getting other people involved, meaning you spread the talent out and spread the points out with everybody. Make ev-erybody else feel like they can accept their role,” she said. “...You can never

really replace (Terry and Taylor), but I think that’s how you can work to-wards making everything even out.”

The three captains for this year’s team are: center Cierra Ellis, point guard/shooting guard Kadedra Hayes and point guard Breona Jones.

Jones is a freshman that played at Eaton-Johnson last season.

“I’m putting a whole lot of emphasis on them helping to get the team moving in the right direc-tion,” said Simpson.

Simpson said the team is small this year — with the exception of 6-foot-

3 Megan Hight — but added that the Raiders are “a lot quicker” than last year at the guard positions.

“They bring a lot of enthusiasm to the court — a lot of hustle, a lot of heart, a lot of desire, passion for playing the game,” Simpson said of the guards. “I’m placing a lot of emphasis on having to box out this year and realizing that we’ve got to get the ball, get it into the hands of the right people and get down the court.”

Simpson said that Hight, a freshman, is figuring out the game.

“I see her learning a lot. She’s trying to piece everything together and I see her presence of being a big center that’s going to help us out a lot.”

Ellis, Tamara Ayscue, Wayneisha Hargrove, Ja-mila Mann and Shakiyla Hicks are the seniors on this year’s squad.

Regarding the confer-ence outlook, the Raiders have seen Chapel Hill in scrimmage play, but Simpson thinks it’s too early to tell how it’s going to pan out.

“I think everybody’s going to be gunning for everybody,” she said. “I think it’s going to be pretty wide open until we go through with the first round and see what everybody has to offer.”

Southern Vance is in a fa-miliar situation.

With so many multisport athletes competing in the football state playoffs, the basketball team has to bide its time before it can practice at full strength.

“Obviously it’s something that we’ve sort of gotten used to — to the football team’s and (coach Mark Perry’s) credit,” said Raider basketball coach Mike Rotolo.

Though his team may be at least two weeks behind sched-ule compared to other squads, Rotolo said it’s a “form of flattery” for so many athletes to still be playing football, and knows his team isn’t the only one having to wait.

For now, Rotolo is practicing every day with the players he has. So far, the team has had a scrimmage with Granville Central, and is working on fun-damentals and conditioning.

“We haven’t spent a whole lot of time right now on sys-tem,” said Rotolo. “The work rate has been outstanding. The enthusiasm has been good.”

“We’re going to be in a catch-up mode — but we feel like we can catch up. We’re really excited about this team.”

The key, Rotolo feels, is how quickly his guys can gel as a team.

“The chemistry thing has got to get going.”

Senior Hakim Jones is a re-turner expected to make a big impact for the Raiders. Last year, Jones was an All-Confer-ence selection.

“Hakim’s growth has been tremendous. It’s been a pleasure for me to be around him,” said Rotolo. “I know he’s excited about getting in the gym.”

Rotolo said Jones, a stand-out on both sides of the foot-ball, was unsure of his bas-ketball game early in his high school career.

“He proved last year he can play,” said Rotolo. “He’s growing up as a person and an athlete.”

Eric Hargrove is another returning Raider expected to contribute. The senior was an All-Conference honorable men-tion last year.

“Eric’s just going to be a real versatile guy for us,” said Rotolo.

The coach said Hargrove, who can work inside or out-side, has worked hard in the offseason.

Josh Young is expected to form a tandem in the post with Jones.

“They were a force inside for us (last year),” said Rotolo.

He called Young an “old-school rebounder” and referred to his work rate by calling him “one of those hard hat, lunch

pail-kind of guys.”B.J. Reavis was the team’s

sixth starter last year. The four-year player ran track to get faster and stronger for basketball, Rotolo said.

“B.J. had moments last year of absolute brilliance.”

Still in the preseason, Rotolo isn’t sure about what to expect from other Carolina 3A Confer-ence teams.

“Right now, my focus is on trying to pick this group, trying to come up with some roles,” he said. “I’m really not worried about everybody else.”

The conclusion of last season hasn’t sat well for Rotolo and the Raiders. Southern had a six-point lead in the final two minutes against Cardinal Gib-bons. A win would have given the Raiders a co-championship with Northern Vance in the conference.

The Crusaders had other ideas. Gibbons stormed back and won the game by one point. Southern was left with an identical record to Orange and Chapel Hill, and because of tiebreaker rules, was left out of the state tournament.

“It was a shock,” said Rotolo. “It certainly has left a bitter taste.”

It may not be the only moti-vating factor, Rotolo said, but the team hasn’t forgotten.

This year’s Kerr-Vance boys’ hoops team features a lot of age and experi-ence.

The 2010-11 edition of the Spar-tans will see seven seniors on the court, each of which contributed last season — Tyler Bolton, Cameron Capell, Ric Davis, Chris Lanham, Chandler Loyd, Devonne Smith and Patrick Stewart.

“They’re just all great kids, they’re hard workers,” said KVA coach Dave Carrier. “They’re like a family on their own. It’s just exciting to be with a group that long, to see them as seniors. They have very high expecta-tions this year.”

KVA will be without All-Confer-ence selection Tyler Overby, who graduated. Capell was First Team All-Conference, and Bolton was an honorable mention.

Davis provides a solid presence at the post.

Carrier is optimistic about Smith coming into the season and feels he will be a big part of the Spartans’ success.

“(He’s) one of the most improved players I’ve ever coached from when he first started till now,” said Car-rier. “He’s really evolved into a big leader for us. The kid’s gotten himself into just phenomenal shape. He’s improved every facet of his game. I think he’s going to be a leader for us and he’s going to be one of our best players.”

Last year, KVA advanced to the Eastern Plains Independent Confer-ence semifinals, where they were defeated by St. David’s.

“It’s a real competitive conference. Anybody in that conference, except maybe one or two teams, has a legiti-mate chance to win it,” said Carrier.

“It’s a lot of fun though, knowing every game if you don’t play at your best, you’re going to go home with a loss. If you do play at your best, it’s going to be a good game, and the little things will win or lose you a game.”

With so many seniors, Carrier feels he has a team that can win the competitive contests.

“I really believe this year the ‘little

things’ are going to be one of our specialties. We’ll know how to handle those situations.”

“They’ve been with me for a long time. Practice is fun. They’re so com-petitive at practice that I know it’s going to pay off.”


Carrier at the helm for boys, girlsSenior-laden boys aiming for big season


Above: Kerr-Vance’s Devonne Smith drives the lane against a Lighthouse de-fender in this January file photo. Below: Kerr-Vance head coach David Carrier shouts out instructions to his team in this February file photo.


Dave Carrier has coached basket-ball for 20 years. But last year, he was handed a new challenge: taking over the helm of a girls’ team.

Carrier, the coach of the boys’ squad at Kerr-Vance, took over the girls’ program about midway through the season, and returns to pull double-duty this year.

It’s a challenge Carrier welcomes.

“You know, I re-ally like it. I really enjoy it,” he said. “It’s a total different kind of coaching in that what works to motivate the boys may not work to motivate the girls. I’m kind of a work in progress there.”

“The girls have done a great job accepting me, making me feel like a part of their team, and I love it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Practicing with two teams pres-ents another challenge. The teams are often in the gym at work until 9 p.m.

“Our kids — it’s not as hard for me as it is for them. They’re so dedi-cated. We’re here very late practic-ing, and I never hear a word about it. They never complain about it.”

This year’s Spartans team will look to returning All-Conference honorable mention Emily Adkins to carry the bulk of the load.

“Emily — she’ll lead us probably

in most every area that we could be led. She’s a very hard worker,” said Carrier. “One thing I really like about Emily is it’s really good when your best player is your hardest worker and also very coachable.”

Carrier said the senior provides a good example for her teammates.

“She’s a great teammate. She listens to coaching, and then the rest of them kind of fall in line.”

Seniors Laurin Rainey and Alex Hardesty showed improvement over last season, Carrier said, and are expected to contribute.

The Eastern Plains Independent Conference may provide tough com-petition this season, but Carrier’s not focusing wholly on the opposi-

tion.“Right now, we’re just kind of

thinking about ourselves. Our goal is to get a little better every day, to improve every game,” said Carrier. “And our biggest goal is... we really talk a lot about playing harder than our opponent and never giving up.”

“We do have a very young team, but I think we have a lot of poten-tial. I think this year is going to be a year where we play some outstand-ing teams, and there’s be some tough games ahead. But I think those games will prepare us to be playing our best by the end of the year.”

New faces in the pool for Southern


Some new swimmers will jump in the pool this year for Southern Vance.

“We have a very new group of swimmers,” said Wendi Leas, who co-coaches the Raiders with her husband, Chris. “We have more new people that we do returning, which is good, but we’re lacking in experience, so they’re going to need some time to catch up.”

The Raiders have been practicing since Nov. 1, with the first meet sched-uled for Nov. 29.

“They are a very hard-working (group). They’re very determined,” said Leas. “Everything that we’ve shot at them so far, they’ve stepped up and really tried their best to do what we’re asking them to do.”

Last year, Tony Tart, Danny Ayscue, Caleb Garrett and Cameron Driver competed in the 400 free relay for South-ern at regionals. Tart also swam in the 50 and 100 freestyle, while Driv-er competed in the 200 free and 100 butterfly.

For the girls, Bethanie Mahl, Candice Pegram, Julia Sumner and Brandi Ayscue made up the 400 free relay team. Mahl also swam in the 50 and 100 free.

This year, Leas has high hopes for senior Pe-gram on the girls’ team.

“She’ll pick up a lot of slack with a lot of the strokes,” said Leas.

Taylor Stanton, Jordan Garrett and Jessica

Fairley are also poised to contribute for the Raid-ers.

“They’re ones that know all the strokes and will be able to kind of pull everybody along with them,” said Leas.

“On the girls’ side, the new swimmers are all about the same level right now, but I think they’re going to surprise us.”

Danny Ayscue and Justin Furlow are expect-ed to lead the boys’ side.

“We’re just looking for the rest of the boys to fill in and see what they can do.”

Leas said this year’s boys’ team is the biggest she’s had, with nine on the roster.

Competing in the Car-olina 3A Conference — against Triangle schools Chapel Hill, Cardinal Gibbons and Orange — isn’t easy.

“All of the kids in Raleigh and Chapel Hill swim year-round, and we don’t really have that op-portunity up here,” said Leas. “It’s a challenge, but we hold our own.”

The coach’s goal for her swimmers is just to improve their personal best times.

“We just want to see improvement from every swimmer. We want personal times to come down,” said Leas. “If that takes us to regionals, then it does. But we just want to see achievement from each individual person.”

Just three years from its incep-tion, Kerr-Vance crowned its first state wrestling champion.

Coming into Year 4, coach Rick Frampton would love to have another champ.

This year’s Spartan wrestling team features five seniors that have been with the program at least two years. The captains of the squad will be defending champ Chris Frampton, Josh Smith and Connor Wade.

“I have more experienced than non-experienced, and I have a couple of new kids that are really coming on strong,” said Rick Frampton.

Athletic Wyatt Evans is one newcomer Frampton said has been performing well. Returner Parkins Davis has competed in offseason tournaments to improve.

Jake Dorrance, Alex Wagener

and Justin Commee round out the senior class, along with Frampton and Smith.

Coach Frampton has been pleased with the effort in prac-

tice.“The work rate is definitely

there. I’ve got some new guys that shock me with the fact that they don’t ever give up.”

The Spartans should eventu-ally cover every weight class but two, Frampton said, when everybody makes weight.

“I’m really optimistic about what we can do with the leader-ship we have,” said Frampton.

The leader of the bunch is undoubtedly Chris Frampton — Rick’s nephew and KVA’s first-ever champ. Now in his senior season, Chris is focusing on a repeat.

“All I want to do is win more than one so I’m not just a one-time (champ), so it wasn’t like it was a fluke. I want to do it again and maybe go on to more.”

Chris said he’s been drilling since August, and playing soccer in the fall has gotten him into shape for wrestling. Overall, the champ said he feels good.

“I feel like I can repeat, if not go undefeated.”

Rick is hoping that Chris’ work effort and energy will rub off on the younger wrestlers.

“It’s Chris’ love. That’s why he’s as good as he is,” said Rick. “I just think the leadership and the example he sets by going out every day... it’s contagious to the

other guys on the team.” “Chris is ready and the other

guys are feeding off of that.”Rick knows that Chris winning

a title was big for the program — but a second title would be even bigger.

“I think that would not only be great for the school, it would be great for the guys underneath him to say, ‘we were with Chris. He did it, it means I can do it too.’”

Rick feels the squad will have a good chance competing in the NCISAA. Charlotte Latin, he said, may be the class competi-tion this season.

“Were just going to have to go see what we can do. I know we’ll be competitive against a lot of the private schools. We’re entering some big public school tourna-ments, but that’s to challenge the guys I do have that have the experience and baptize the other ones by fire.”

“I think we’re going to be in the mix if the young guys step up early.”

High hopes for Spartan grapplers in Year 4Senior Frampton defends state title


Kerr-Vance's Josh Smith controls his opponent in this January file photo.


As usual with area public school teams in recent years, numbers may be an issue for J.F. Webb wrestling.

Mike Toanone’s Warriors return just three that have wrestled more than two years.

Webb started with 15 at the first practices, but five have quit since then.

“They come out and it’s not the TV sort of thing,” said Toanone.

Two four-year wrestlers have braved the gru-eling practices and training and will anchor the Warriors this season — seniors Will Huffaker and Trey Wade.

Wade wrestles at 125 lbs. Huffaker was at 135 last year, but may be moved up to 145.

“My seniors, four-year seniors, can compete with anybody. But I only have one or two,” said Toanone.

Tyquan Smith and Cheek are returners ex-pected to make an impact for Webb.

Before the season starts, Toanone and his team will have to focus on the fundamentals.

“I need to teach half of these kids how to wrestle... and the ones that have wrestled for me before, they haven’t wrestled in a year, so I need to refresh them,” he said.

“Basically, I have to reteach everything, get-ting back to basics.”

In the Carolina 3A Conference, Orange is again expected to be strong. The Panthers are three-time state champions.

Toanone is unsure about Cardinal Gibbons, but feels that his team will be competitive with Northern Vance, Southern Vance and Chapel Hill.

Last year, Brent Adcock and Toby Bellissimo represented Webb at the state level. Toanone’s goal is to have representation at states.

“Every year, I have two or three guys go to states, which is really good,” he said. “It’s hard to keep people on the team. My goal each year is, not as a team because I can’t really put a team together, but I can put individuals at the state level.”


Three returners anchor Webb

McCarthy takes over Northern wrestlingBy ERIC S. ROBINSONDispatch sports EDitor

The new season brings a new coach for Northern Vance wrestling.

Robert McCarthy is one of several new coaches at the school. He steps in to replace Thomas Durham.

After attending high school in Michigan, McCa-rthy competed on the mat in Chapel Hill for the Univer-sity of North Carolina.

McCarthy is hoping to use that experience in the transition from college wres-tler to high school coach.

“I think I’m still hungry. What I mean by that is, I wasn’t as successful as I wanted to be in college as far as wrestling,” he said. “So I guess that hunger and that drive to still want to compete and still have something to give and have something to still prove — I want to take it into my coaching career.”

Numbers have been down at Northern so far, but McCarthy had the most wrestlers show up on Monday that he’s had since the beginning.

“It’s been hard because a lot of these guys are foot-ball players. (Monday was) their first day of practice because they ran over a week long. I gave them four days off to recover.”

McCarthy is expecting big things out of returning wrestler Jameel Lyles.

“He’s just done every-thing I’ve asked. He’s given me 100 percent.”

Josh Pendergrass, who advanced to states last season, is also poised to

have a big year. Returner Geno Bullock, at 215 lbs., was one match away from a state bid last year.

McCarthy isn’t cer-tain about the rest of the squad, but feels he’ll have a better idea in about a month. He said that he hopes to eventually fill the weight classes, but may not have them all filled in the first couple of meets until all the weights are adjusted.

McCarthy is aware that the Carolina 3A Confer-ence — which includes

powerhouse Orange — is no cakewalk, but he isn’t sure yet what the confer-ence will bring this year.

“I honestly have no idea. I’m unfamiliar with North Carolina high school wrestling,” he said. “We’re

going to be in good shape, we’re going to do a couple of moves really well, and hopefully, I think, that should help us win.”

With a combination of return-ing players and new faces, this year’s J.F. Webb boys’ hoops team may be looking to some youngsters.

“This is probably one of our better freshman classes that I’ve had since I’ve been here in five years,” said Warriors coach Leo Brunelli. “I’m real excited.”

Last year, Webb finished last in the Carolina 3A Conference. Brunelli noted that the War-riors were the only team that didn’t hold at least a share of the conference lead at some point during the 2009-10 season.

One major factor in how they finished, Brunelli feels, was strength and conditioning.

“We’ve put a lot emphasis into the preseason. We lifted two days a week and conditioned three days a week,” he said. “We just weren’t physically there, strong enough (last year).”

“We put a big emphasis in it and hopefully we’re going to see some results once the season starts.”

Football’s success put the basketball team a week behind schedule. The Warrior football team advanced one round into the playoffs.

“We kind of had a staggered start. We had a couple in cross country, we had soccer go to the playoffs, so it’s been almost a

typical Webb basketball pre-season,” said Brunelli.

Between now and the season’s start, the team’s focus is just to improve.

“The big thing right now is we’ve got to get better each day at practice. That’s been our goal. Let’s get just a little better, bring that intensity up just a little bit.”

“We want efficient work and we’re working hard. I’m real proud of the guys.”

The Warriors will likely look to returning All-Conference player Darquis Thomas for leadership, but Brunelli said the production may be “by commit-tee.”

“I think we can be a little bit deeper this year than in the past, and that’s something that will help especially pick up the

tempo and play a little bit more the type of style defensively that I like to play.”

Regarding his team’s place in the competitive conference, Brunelli feels his team may have what it takes to fight its way near the top, but has a lot of work to do.

“I think all the teams had a pretty good senior class, so it makes it interesting. I think definitely we’re at the bottom looking up. Our conference is very talented, but with that being said, I think we can work our way somewhere up near the top. No question.”

“I’m excited. I think if they continue to work, we’ll be set to go.”


Strength, conditioning focus for Webb hoops

J.F. Webb’s girls’ hoops team will face an early challenge this year.

The Warriors have just one re-turning starter to open the season. Standout senior Tyler Hobgood will look to carry a lot of the load with young and inexperienced players around her.

Overall, six Lady Warriors were lost to graduation, and coach Kenneth Rogers needs his team to learn quickly.

“It’s going to be a very young team and an inexperienced team, but I’m hoping with the commit-ment over the summer that we’ll continue to get old quick,” said Rog-ers. “We don’t have time to waste right now. We’ve just got to practice a lot and try to get smarter as the year goes on.”

Webb didn’t have a junior varsity team last year, but will this season. Rogers hopes that will help build the program for the future, but for now, he’s just trying to get the right combination on the floor.

“We’re still trying to feel the right chemistry. It’s very difficult to feel the right chemistry when you’ve got so many new players,” he said.

“I think we’ve got some key play-

ers that don’t have a lot of experi-ence, but they’re playing pretty good basketball right now, so we’ve got some girls learning quickly.”

Hobgood, the team’s lone returning senior and a University

of Miami signee, will provide the post presence. Hobgood has been a dominant presence underneath on both sides of the ball.

“Tyler is one of the best players in the state when she’s on the

court playing basketball, and her skill level is not matched by many teams. Therefore, I feel like she’ll be doubled and tripled at times during the season,” said Rogers. “She has to maintain her compo-sure and just play smart basket-ball. She’s got to let the game come to her, and I think if Tyler doesn’t try to do too many things that she’ll be okay.”

Rogers feels Hobgood needs to embrace a leadership role on and off the court, and remain patient with the younger players.

“If Tyler would be patient, and if Tyler tried to take a leader-ship role, I think that will help us tremendously.”

Janae Carroll is expected to run the point this year. Rogers hopes her outside-shooting ability will spread the defense and free things up for Hobgood at the post.

Carroll had some experience at point last season. Rogers called her an unselfish player with good ballhandling skills.

“...I think that’s the best thing I like about Janae — that she loves the game,” said Rogers. “She doesn’t mind working hard. She comes to practice and she’s one of those players who’s committed to the game.”

Rogers said Delacee Cooper

brings a lot of speed to the court. She can shoot the outside shot, he said, but he is hoping her speed and athleticism will be beneficial on the defensive side. Freshman Starr Jones is a skilled player with good ballhandling skills and perimeter play, but needs experi-ence, Rogers said. Laquasha Terry is small in stature, but can hustle up and down the court and dictate the speed of the game.

Rogers said Orange may be the team to beat this year in the Caro-lina 3A Conference. The Panthers return a lot of experience. The coach said Gibbons may be in the hunt as well as Southern Vance.

Rogers feels that, with all the inexperience, his team is in a dif-ferent situation in the preseason.

“With us being so young, this will be — for the first time in a long time — we’re not the favor-ites. I don’t feel like we should have that honor as far as being a top team,” he said. “I think we’ll get better during the season. That’s the main thing — improv-ing for us right now.”

“We just have to continue mak-ing progress each practice and each game.”

The Warren County boys’ basketball team is returning only three players from last season’s squad that won less than five games, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing for new head coach Erick Williams.

“The good thing is we lost nine seniors under a dif-ferent philosophy,” said Williams.

Williams, who coached the junior varsity squad last season, took over for Ed Miles in the offseason. Miles spent one season as varsity head coach.

Williams is anticipating a re-building season with so many new faces. None of the three returning players (Jaquan Cheek, John Tay-lor and Sean Brake) were starters last season.

“If we don’t have a winning season, we’re looking to have a progressive season,” Williams said. “Success doesn’t start on the basketball court. In order for us to have success, we have to have everything in line. Academics being first, family-oriented being the second and discipline. Then we will begin to play basketball.”

Gone from last season are shoot-ing threat Adam Aycock, guards

Terrell Roberson and Dion Har-grove and big man Davonte Foster.

Despite the inexperience on the floor, the Eagles’ team is made up mostly of upperclassmen, with six or seven players making the jump from JV.

Williams plans on employing a “run-and-gun” style of offense.

“I’ve got the Roy Williams approach to things. We’re very quick,” he said.

Williams is hoping the break-neck method will compensate for lack of a true point guard. Cheek,

B.J. Davis and Quasim Burgess are expected to rotate at the one-spot.

“We don’t know yet. We’re going to see what happens,” said Wil-liams. “Luckily, this past sum-mer we got together and went to some summer leagues and camps. We stayed busy for about two months.”

Taylor and Brake will play down low, with Brake also ex-pected to move out to the wing.

The first-year Eagles coach is looking to Brake to provide a bulk of on-floor leadership.

“I think he’ll step up big for us as far as a leader,” Williams said. “Not taking anything away from our other seniors, I just think in crunch-time situations and the rebuilding stage we’re in, he has the right mentality for us.”

Williams expects Bunn, Franklinton and Roanoke Rapids to be the class of the Northern Carolina 2A Conference. Last sea-son, Bunn won the regular season with Roanoke Rapids taking the conference tournament title.

Williams foresees Warren County adding a couple of more players, if eligible, around the winter break, and expects the Eagles to be able to compete for a top-four position in the conference standings.


A new direction for Eagles

Williams


“No standout, no stars.” The words of new head coach

Shannon Jones, who wants her Warren County girls playing team basketball.

“We’re focusing more on team rather than individual.” she said. “I’m looking for everybody to step up because anybody can be a star on any given night.”

Jones joins the varsity squad after serving as an assistant to previous head coach Sheila Seward. Jones has also coached the junior varsity girls’ team as well as the Eagles’ softball team for the past three seasons.

“Just like any other coach, I ex-pect to have a good season,” she said.

“I expect to win, just for the girls to get better and to start building a program that has quality.”

The Lady Eagles struggled last season but are returning all but one player.

Luckily for Jones, she does have a potential star if she needs one: Khadija Brown.

Brown led Warren County in scoring, rebounding and blocking as a freshman. Last season, Brown con-tinued to be the Eagles’ go-to scorer, playing down low with the ability to face up and knock down jumpers.

But Jones says she is looking for everybody to fill it up in a high-octane offense.

“Run,” Jones said of the Eagles’ style of play. “We’re going to run and run some more.”

In the post for Warren County will be Rebekah Cox, Teja Kennerly and Dominique Solomon.

Shannon Wilson and Calena Jef-fries will handle point guard duties and Lashonda Williams, Alexis French, and Rageane Watson will fill in on the wings.

Jones says her goal is to change the whole atmosphere of the pro-gram and success won’t be measured in wins or losses.

“Bring in a whole new every-thing,” she said. “When you start talking about wins and losses, you start putting unnecessary pres-sure on people. Just to get better, to gradually grow each game.”


Lady Eagles focusing on team ball


D.J. Wright will take the coaching reigns from Rob-bie Shearin this season for the Norlina boys’ basket-ball team.

Shearin stepped down after one season at the helm of the program, while D.J., son of volleyball coach J.D. Wright, will coach a varsity boys’ team for the first time.

His expectation: “To win.”

“We’ll have to play tough defense,” Wright added. “We don’t have a lot of height. We have to play hard.”

Norlina has one senior: Brandon Curtis, who is ex-pected to play on the wing.

The Crusaders lost two seniors from last season and one other key contribu-

tor. Wright said he will

look to point guard Tyler Pegram and post man Eli Bateman for scoring.

Pegram will handle the majority of the ballhan-dling duties.

“He’s about our only ballhandler we have to bring the ball up the court,” said Wright. “We count on him to really start our offense. He’s very important.”

Steven Carroll will join Bateman down low and Adam Rooker will team with Curtis on the wing.

Wright said he wants the team to play fast paced and to “keep the game up tempo.”

The first-year head coach also sees the Crusad-ers’ new conference affilia-tion as a good fit.

Josh Justice, Wesley Eatmon, Tyler Boyd, and Michael Mitkos round out the roster.


Tough D is the Wright way to play


Norlina Christian coach Robbie Shearin has high expectations for his varsity girls’ team this season.

Norlina returns six players from last season, Shearin’s first at the helm of the program. The Crusaders lose one player from that team and add two new players.

“I’m actually very opti-mistic about the season,” said Shearin.

Shearin will look to Becky Collier to provide a bulk of the scoring from her post position.

“I’m looking to her for leadership all the way around,” he said. “Scor-ing, rebounding, she’s the tallest player on the team. Scoring is going to be one of her priorities.”

Taylor Eatmon played point guard as a fresh-

man last season and is expected to do the same in 2010-2011.

“Hopefully, she’s matured a little bit and is ready to play,” said Shearin.

Eatmon was in charge of most of the ballhan-dling last season, but will get a hand from transfer Anna Davis this season.

“Last year, we really only had one ballhan-dler,” Shearin said. “With the addition of Anna Da-vis, she’s a ballhandler and also Becky Collier will be able to handle the ball so Taylor will be able to have some relief.”

Shearin also said he anticipates the Crusaders being very competitive in the new conference that includes Victory Christian of Hen-derson.


Six return for Lady Crusaders

The Crossroads Christian boys’ basketball team should benefit from experience this season, something the young program hasn’t had much of in years past.

The Colts have five seniors: Jeremy Grainger, Jamison Overby, Thad McClelland, Lee Powell and Cody Matthews. Four of those athletes have been playing together since middle school.

“I told them it’s their senior year. That means no more excuses,” said coach John Anderson.

Crossroads lost two starters from last season’s team: Jacob Campbell and Ryan Riggan.

“We’re losing our two bruisers from last season which means we’ll be a different type of team,” said Anderson.

Anderson is hoping that means a quicker, more agile Colts’ team, led by the point guard, Matthews.

“Cody has always been a great ballhandler. He can score anywhere from 15-25 points a game,” said Anderson.

Grainger will lead Crossroads in the post, but should get some as-sistance from junior varsity call-up Jake Barnes.

“He’s going to give me some height down there,” Anderson said of Barnes. “He’s worked hard in devel-oping his skills over the summer.”

Overby will play a forward and McClelland fits in likely as a shoot-ing guard. Anderson said he will look to Powell as a defensive specialist.

The Colts finished in the bottom

half of conference play last season, but Anderson is setting his sights higher for 2010-2011.

“I think a respectable goal is to be above .500, maybe even finish in the top third of the conference,” he said.


Five seniors to lead CrossroadsBy KELLEN HOLTZMANDispaTch sporTs WriTer

Crossroads Christian’s girls’ basketball team is relying on a strong corps rising from the junior var-sity ranks to replace four starters from last season. The JV Colts finished the conference season unbeat-en in 2009-2010.

Britney Anderson is the lone returning starter for Crossroads and one of two seniors along with Erica Deal.

Coach John Anderson said he has eight girls capable of landing a role in the starting five.

“We’re getting to the point where our girls are good players, but need to become more dominating players,” said Anderson.

Anderson will look to his daughter, Britney, as well as varsity newcomer and sophomore Jessi Hayes for scoring. Hayes is capable of playing nearly every position on the floor, from point guard to center.

“She’s a strong enough dribbler to handle point guard, but if needed, she can also play forward and center,” Anderson said. “She’s extremely athletic and versatile.”

Jamie McAuslin, an-

other JV graduate, is also expected to compete for the point guard spot.

Deal and Jennifer Long will play in the post while Anderson and Jessica Matthews fill in on the wings.

The Colts finished in the middle of the pack in league play last season and Anderson expects more of the same parity for 2010-2011.

“I’m anticipating every conference game to be hard-fought,” he said.

The building process enters another year for Victory Christian as the Eagle girls fly into their third season of basketball.

New coach Rebecca Matthews said with a young team, the first two seasons have been crucial for develop-ment.

“It helped build a lot of their confidence and knowledge of basket-

ball,” said Matthews. “They’re still learning, so that’s a big thing. Having only two seniors, next year is going to be even better.”

Brooke Loughlin and Megan Stell are the two Eagle seniors. Stell will run the point, joined by Loughlin in the backcourt.

Stell led Victory in a season-opening win, scoring 22 of the team’s 32 points.

Stell and Priscilla Nobles, a for-ward, are the team’s co-captains.

“Priscilla gives a lot of input and knowledge of basketball to the girls,” said Matthews.

Stephanie Matthews and Courtney Martin round out the starting five.

“My goal is just to have a winning season,” Matthews said. “I don’t care if they win, lose as long as they play with 100 percent with their heart. That’s what I’m looking for.”

Northern Vance CHEERLEADING


Victory Christian coach Mike West is expect-ing “big things” from his varsity boys’ squad this season.

The Eagles lost four players from last season, including two starters, but again have four seniors this year.

“I think that we’re as good if not better than we were last year,” said West.

Last season’s team fin-ished fourth in the league standings, but rallied for an impressive conference tournament championship win.

The four seniors for this season (Jimmy Ramsey, Travis Keeton, Adam Hope, Adam Pulley) are all starters, but the team may go through the fifth starter, junior Will Vooris.

Vooris will spend the majority of his time at

point guard. “I think we’ll be a lot

like Carolina when they had Ty Lawson,” said West.

“When he played good, they were good. When he didn’t, they weren’t. I think we’ll sort of be like that. But he’s gotten big-ger and smarter so I guess we’ll see.”

Ramsey will play with Vooris in the starting backcourt with Hope and Pulley at the forward spots. Keeton is the center.

“I’m looking for him to be like my Dennis Rod-man,” West said of Keeton. “Don’t worry about scor-ing, just get every rebound that comes off the rim.”

West looked to Vooris and Pulley to carry the load last season, but expects anyone in his starting group to be able to score.

“I can look to anybody in the starting five to score 15 points a night. If they did, I wouldn’t be shocked,” he said.



Vance-Granville’s 2009-2010 season ended with the tragic death of its star player Raymond Dunn, but the dynamic athlete didn’t leave without elevating Vanguard Basketball to a new level.

As Vance-Granville enters its third season competing in the Na-tional Junior College Athletic As-sociation, head coach Avery Wilson reflected on what Dunn meant to the program.

Dunn collapsed during a Van-guards game late last season, just before conference tournament play began.

Wilson said he struggled with the decision of whether to return as coach.

“Me, personally, it was some-thing that I battled with a lot,” he said. “I had to take a lot of time to sit back and think about it, but I came back for the guys. I didn’t want to leave them.”

Dunn, who died of a rare heart disorder, was named NJCAA Divi-sion II Region X Player of the Year for his stellar sophomore season.

“He was a first-team All-Amer-ican,” said Wilson. “He put us on the map. He was being recruited by schools all over the country, so we’re known now all over the United States because of him.”

Wilson said this season will be a marathon, not a sprint.

VGCC had a solid incoming class, but Wilson’s prized recruit may

be lost for the year with an ankle injury. The Vanguards played with just eight players in a home-open-ing loss.

Wilson is hoping time without the full squad will help build depth.

“I’m hoping in the second half these guys are going to get better,” he said. “And when these other guys get back, we’re going to have a heck of a ball club. And I think we are, I think we’re going to have a good season.”

Trentin Cozart, a former J.F. Webb Warrior, enters his second season at VGCC as potentially the team’s go-to scorer. The point guard averaged 17 points per game in his freshman campaign.

“He’s no doubt the leader of our team,” Wilson said. “A lot of times he may not pass the actual eye test out there, but he’s a guy that can execute and get the job done. At

the end of the night, you look at the stat sheet and Cozart got 20 points.”

Sam Hilton, Derrick Knight and Ryan Belton also return for their second seasons. Josh Coles, a 6-foot-4 guard/forward from Danville, Va. is expected to return soon after missing all of last season with a torn ACL.

Wilson has been pleased with the play of Ryan Branch, of Louisburg, early on in the season. Branch has been playing center but should see time as a forward. Dante Walker, also of Louisburg, will fill in on the wing and Zach Beale, of Franklin-ton, is seeing time at point guard.

Wilson said every season the goal remains the same, to compete for the Region X championship.
