Holt's hitting, pitching lead the way for Demons JV's in 12-4 win over Parkland: |
By SAM DAVIS j
Chronicle Spom Edilof
Starting pitcher Tyler Holt
helped his own cause by going 2
for-4 at the plate and driving in
three runs to help Reynolds take
a 12-4 road victory over Parkland
on Monday afternoon (March
24).
Holt, who went all seven
innings on the mound for the
Demons, helped break open a
close game by delivering a two
run single in the fifth inning and
a single in the sixth. Holt's hit
ting helped the Demons enjoy
four-run rallies in both innings.
He was even more impres
sive on the mound, scattering
seven hits over seven innings.
Holt gave up only one walk and
struck out one.
Coach Brian Robinson said it
was a masterful performance in
Holt's first start of the season.
"He threw a lot of ground
balls," Robinson said. "He had a
couple up, in the strike zone, but
most of them were either foul
balls or pop ups. Our outfielders
player real deep and prevented
anything from going for extra
base hits.
"I was very impressed with
him because it was his first time
pitching this season. He threw
strikes and kept his composure."
RJR, which improved to 2-4
on the season, was clinging to a
4-3 lead when it came to the
plate in the top of the fifth
inning. Eric Easter got the rally
started for the Demons when he
reached on a lead-off single.
Conrad Graham drew a walk and
a single by Jim House loaded the
bases.
Carl West executed a sacri
fice squeeze bunt to score Easter
and extend Reynolds' lead to 5-3.
Eric Cheatwood walked and Holt
followed with a two-run single.
In the sixth, Easter again led
off with a single and Graham
followed with a walk. Boyd sin
gled to score Easter and West
against pulled off a sacrifice
squeeze. This time, however.
West reach safely after Parkland
failed to cover the base. Cheat
wood drew a walk and Holt
added his third RBI of the game
when he drilled a single to score
West.
Parkland added a run in the
sixth off two singles and an error
to make the final score 12-4.
Reynolds' defense was solid in the team's victory over Parkland on Mon
day afternoon.

The Chronicle Unveils AAU Team
By COURTNEY DANIEL
Chronicle Staff Writer
The Winston-Salem Chroni
cle has recently created a IS
and under AAU Basketball team
appropriately named the Chroni
cle Carriers. The Carriers are
eager to gain a measure of
where they are and where they
need to be in order to excel in
the highly competitive AAU
Pool Play.
The Carriers have decided
to make their first official game
a hometown affair by hosting a
tournament this weekend. The
Carriers now that this test of
their skill will be a valuable tool
in accessing their strengths and
weaknesses.
Head Coach Sam Davis
hopes that his team will show
well and use these games as a
learning experience.
"We hope that our team will
mesh as a unit," said Davis.
"And that the kids will grasp the
up-tempo style we hope to
employ this season."
The Chronicle Carrier team
has only been together just over
two and half weeks, and certain
ly the inexperience of the team
has to be a disadvantage.
When asked if he harbored
any concerns about his untested
team coach Davis said, "Cer
tainly. You have to be a little
concerned when you have a
team that is as new as ours, but 1
think these young men will play
well."
Also of some concern for
the Carriers is their lack of
height.
"I am concerned about our
lack of total team height," Davis
admitted. "I believe we will off
set that disadvantage by utiliz
ing what we believe to be
exceptional team speed and
quickness. We will get after
teams defensively with a full
court press and look to push the
ball at every opportunity."
The question seems to be
less about the Carriers ability to
match-up physically with their
opponents and more about
whether or not they have had
time to prepare for game-type
competition. When asked if
throwing his team into combat
this early was a bit rash, coach
Davis disagreed.
"There are some things we
need to learn as team," he said.
"Things about how far we are
from being where we need to
be. How we handle adversity.
Where our hearts and heads are.
These are all things we can not
learn in the sheltered confines of
practice. We need this competi
tion to cut our teeth. Besides we
have to play our first game
sometime, better to learn who
we are now so as to be better
able to see the path to who we
want to become."
That is not to imply that the
Carriers don't have the talent
and leadership to win. The team
has a myriad of quality pieces,
but whether they will be able to
blend those parts into a cohesive
whole is yet to be determined.
The Carriers also have a number
of raw talents who may or may
not still need some refinement
to their game. In short it as yet
hard to get a read on this team
because the team is still learning
who they are.
The Chronicle Easter Week
end Tournament, which will be
held at the old Carver school
gym on Friday and Saturday,
will provide a lot of answers
about the areas newest AAU
team, and most importantly will
provide the Carriers themselves
with a road map to improve
ment.
Kernersville All-Stars AAU team scores big in Shootout I
The Kernersville All-Stars
14-and-under AAU basketball
team finished in top 10 in the
22-team Mid-Atlantic Shootout
field, which was held on March
21-23 in Richmond, Va.
Kernersville lost to the
Buffalo Soldiers, from Laurel,
Md., the No. 8 team in the
nation, in the championship by
a 58-38 score.
The loss in that game didn't
detract from an excellent over
all tournament showing. Kern
ersville opened the tournament
with a 65-20 victory over the
RMB Chiefs. James Stack
house led the way for Kern
ersville with 15 points and
Charles Sanders and David
Edwards chipped in with 12
and 10 points, respectively.
Tony Newkirk provided the
defensive spark for Kern
ersville.
In their next game, Kern
ersville took an electrifyirtg 52
51 overtime victory over the
P.J. Jaguars from Maryland.
After a see-saw battle, Kern
ersville sent the game into
overtime when Sanders con
nected on a 3-pointer to tie the
game at 48-48 at the end of
regulation.
In the overtime period,
Kernersville scored first when
Turner Battle was fouled while
shooting a 3-pointer and made
two of three free throws. The
Jaguars answered with a 3
point basket with 10 seconds
remaining in overtime. Howey-;
er, Kernersville scored the win
ning basket when Davrd .
Edwards found Sanders open
for a layup just before the
buzzer. *
Battle and Sanders led die
way for the All-Stars with ?4
points each and Stackhouse
added 10 points. Defensively,
Newlirk, Stackhouse and
Sandecs led the way.
In the championship round
on Sunday, the Buffalo Soldiers
were too much for the All
Stars. But they did get big
offensive performances from
Stackhouse and Sanders.
Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic field includes former champs:
Five weeks before the start
of the 1997 Greater Greensboro
Chrysler Classic Golf Tourna
ment, the 156-player field is
already filling up with some of

Tour.

other former champions cham
pions including Andy Bean,

Brooks, Ken Green, Steve Elk
ington, Larry Nelson and Joey
Sindelar.
