Lady Racers all smiles before the Championship Game!


Emily Tipton in the Circle for the Lady Racers!

Lady Racers are Duel on the Diamond Champions

The Lady Racers Fastpitch Travel Team traveled to Easley, South Carolina on May 10, 2008 to play in the ASA Duel on the Diamond Tournament. The Racers won the Championship game a little after midnight defeating the Carolina Pacers. Lady Racer pitchers Emily Tipton and Kim Cannon left the Pacers frustrated for much of the game. The game was close throughout, as both teams are fundamental sound with strong pitching, great fielding skills and tremendous hitting prowess. The team was led by big hits from Danielle Cole, Jonnie Petree, Cayla Wood, and Alex Oates. The game winner came when Hunter Young launched a "bomb" to left center in the bottom of the 6th inning for a triple, scoring two runs giving the Racers a one run victory. The Lady Racers are sponsored by Andy Petree Racing and is composed of girls for Yancey, Buncombe and Henderson Counties. Team members from Yancey County are Emily Tipton, Hunter Young, and Danielle Cole.

Mountaineers Shine at Regional Meet

Three Mitchell Track team members will represent Mitchell High in the State Championships this week thanks to their outstanding performances at in the Western Regionals over the weekend.

Emily Garland had one of her best outings of the season in the high jump. Her 4'10" jump was enough to earn third place in the region and move her on to the state meet next week. This is especially exciting for Mitchell Track, since Emily is only a freshman.

Danica Huskins continued her strong season by qualifying for the state meet in two events. She finished 2nd in both the 100 and 200 meter dash.

The most exciting race of the day was a photo finish win by Dakota Norris in the mile. Dakota edged longtime rival Josey Weaver of Madison by 2/100 of a second to win the regional title and establish himself as a strong contender going into Friday's State Championship.

The State Championships will be held Friday May 9th at NC A&T University in Winston-Salem.
