Panthers fall 10-0 to No. 1 Wayne County By Paul Newberry Associated Press National Writer Top-ranked Wayne County held on to the top spot in Region 2A-AAAA and Liberty County High School dropped to 1-7 in the region after the Yellow Jackets beat the Panthers 10-0 in five innings Friday in Jesup. Panther freshman Jake Lee started on the mound and tossed 2-1/3 innings, giving up four runs. Brandon Whitmore came in to finish the third and fourth innings and allowed two runs. He was pulled in the fifth inning and Richard Lovelady finished on the mound giving up the last four runs. Cameron Harris had the Panthers’ only hit. Liberty County is 4-10 overall and will travel to Ware County on Tuesday for another region game. Carson Hill was arguably the most — if not only — consistent thing about the Georgia Southern Eagles between 2006 and 2010. The former cornerback is also probably the biggest name not returning to the Eagles in 2011. Opposite Hill last season was Laron Scott, who put his name into GSU record books as a junior, setting or tying school records in interceptions (6), kick returns (44) and kick return yards (1,161). He isn’t on the practice field either, sitting out spring camp with an injury. Playing with the ones this spring are cornerbacks Lavelle Westbrooks and Hudson Presume, who each have very different stories so far in their GSU careers. Presume, a rising senior, has been battling injuries his whole career. His 2009 season came to an end on the road at Appalachian State, and a preseason injury in 2010 kept him on the sidelines as a junior. “He was hurt for so much of last year, and we just didn’t know if he’d get healthy enough to ever play again,” said GSU coach Jeff Monken. “To his credit, he’s really worked. He looks a lot better, and he’s improving. You’re rusty when you don’t play, and he’s knocking some of the rust off.” That’s done and over with,” Presume added about the injuries. “Now I’m back with my teammates. It’s a great feeling, to tell you the truth. I’m working hard and the guys are working hard.” Hill spent much of the 2010 season battling injuries as well, so Westbrooks, then a true freshman, ended up starting eight games and picking up 32 tackles and a pair of interceptions in the process. “He’s a ton ahead. A ton ahead,” said Monken about the progress made by Westbrooks last season. “He pre- See EAGLES / page 2B Pierce hands Blue Tide another loss By Mike Riddle Coastal Courier Correspondent The Long County High School baseball team endured a fifth straight loss Friday, falling 10-0 in five innings to visiting Pierce County. Shawn Mills started on the mound for the Blue Tide and didn’t allow a hit in the inning, but the Bears capitalized on four Long County errors in the inning to go up 3-0. The Bears took advantage of a pair of hits and two more errors in the second inning to go up 7-0. Long County coach Brian Thomas pulled Mills in the third inning and brought in Jacob Turner, but the Bears tacked on two more hits and Long County made another error to help extend Pierce County’s lead to 8-0. In the bottom of the third, the Blue Tide loaded the bases on two hit batters and a single from Mike Riddle Long County High School pitcher Jonathan Flynn saw action in relief on Friday for the Blue Tide.
