Written by RYAN HERMAN (O-N-E sports editor)   
Friday, 09 May 2008

The Mooresville Blue Devils might want to think about relocating to Catawba County.

The current Catawba County Easter Baseball Classic title holders got four runs in the first inning Friday, including a three-run homer, and went on to defeat host Fred T. Foard 6-4 in the first round of the state 3A West baseball playoffs.

The Blue Devils (19-5) will host West Rowan, a 2-1 winner over Marvin Ridge, in the second round on Tuesday.

    LENOIR — Something happened to Bandys this week the team had been searching for all season — all the pieces finally came together.

    And senior Olivia Huffman finally learned how to squash a bumblebee.

    Huffman had a key two-run single in the fourth, and Carlee Carpenter pitched a complete-game with six strikeouts Thursday as the Trojans topped host Hibriten 5-2 en route to their second straight Catawba Valley Athletic Conference softball tournament championship.

    "It finally came into our heads that we could do it, that we were good enough," Huffman said. "This whole season, we've thought, 'hey, we were good last year, but, maybe we don't have to work as hard.'

    The No. 1 goal in 2008 for many of the players on Newton-Conover's boys tennis team has been a rematch against Cardinal Gibbons in the state 2A dual-team finals.

    While that goal is still a possibility, with the Red Devils advancing to Tuesday's second round, there's one goal that has been kept a secret until now — they want to be movie stars.

    That's right, the Red Devils want their success story made into a movie, kind of like "Friday Night Lights." "I want a movie about us — I want a movie about Newton-Conover tennis," Alan Pernell said. "That would be so awesome."

Newton-Conover rolls to easy first-round victory in playoffs PDF Print E-mail
Written by RYAN HERMAN (O-N-E sports editor)   
Tuesday, 06 May 2008

When the Newton-Conover boys' tennis team set out its goals for the 2008 season, one of them was to reach the state finals for the second straight year.

Mark off Round 1 of the state 2A dual-team playoffs as an obstacle standing in the Red Devils' way.

The home team soundly defeated West Henderson 9-0, and flexed its muscles well enough that a return trip to Burlington doesn't seem too out of the question. With each point, set and match coming rather easily Tuesday, head coach Brian Tate said the thing that worries him most this time of year is a repeat of 2006.

When Bandys gets rolling, it makes you pay — and that’s what it wants to do.
