GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE Football players Greg Brooks and Bryce McTeer made an undeniable impact as part of Walkertown's inspiring run at the Class 1 A state baseball champi onship this spring. With both filling major roles, the Wolfpack came within two victories of reaching the state championship series. Walkertown's season came to a disappointing halt with consecutive one run losses to No. 1-seeded Cherryville in a best-two out-of-three West Regional series last week. For Brooks, a designat ed hitter, it was most likely his last baseball game. The j 6-2,290-pound senior is an offensive lineman who has signed with Lenoir-Rhyne.

GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE l_ Christina Caesar's true value as a basketball player cannot be fully measured by points, rebounds and steals. The soon-to-be Winston-Salem Prep graduate provided moxie and tenacity oh a highly skilled squad that won back-to-back Class 1-A state championships. Caesar, a 5-6 senior swing player, is ready to move into the next stage of her career as a student-athlete. She recently signed with Cape Fear Community College and has no doubts that she's more than ready to deal with new challenges. "The high level of compe tition in practice plus the con ditioning we had to go through made things real tough," said Caesar. "And coach (Eugene Love) was hard on us. He pushed all of us to be the best we could be. So, as I get ready for junior college, I feel like I'm well prepared for everything." In her final high school season, Caesar didn't post eye popping numbers. But that was all by design because of Prep's personnel. Aside from leading scorers, Jada Craig (11.9 points per game) and Mychala Wolfe (10.2 points per game), the rest of the team averaged anywhere in the neighborhood of seven to nine points a game. Caesar aver aged 6.8 points, 4 rebounds and 2.5 steals this past season. "Christina is one of those players whose contributions don't always show up on the stat sheet," said Love. "Because of her instincts and exceptional lateral move ment, she always drew the toughest defensive assignment. Not only that, but she's very good at taking charge. "Over the last couple of seasons, she really picked up her scoring. As a senior, she was one of our better 3-point shooters." Although Caesar was never cast in the role of being the team's go-to scorer, she was always able to produce some offensive fireworks when needed. Such was the case in the West Regional final two months ago against rival Atkins. In the first half, Craig, the starting point guard, encountered foul difficulty and had to sit on the bench for long stretches of time. Caesar wasted no time taking charge and asserting her will at the offensive end of the floor. She finished with a game-high 16 points, which pro pelled the Phoenix to a 56-44 victory and a second straight See Caesar on B2 Photo by Cnug I Ureenlee Christina Caesar (in white) excelled as a tenacious one-on-one defender for the Phoenix.
