The Grady Varsity Boys Soccer team began play today, in the preseason tournament at Central Gwinnett High School in Lawrenceville, opening against a scrappy team from Duluth. Overall, it was a great effort by a team with significant changes from last year, both with a new coach, and several changes on the field.

As play began, Duluth got off an early shot, but Jeremy Senterfitt made a good stop, and the Knights were off and running. Jonathan Hollman and Ryun Miller had a great run down the field, making sharp passes and showing good ball control. The first shot was close, but wide, and Warren Ukah had another shot go just wide in the 8th minute. Over the next ten minutes, Warren led several charges, keeping the pressure on the Duluth defense, and had a couple of shots stopped by the keeper. JP also had a shot just miss; then, in the 17th minute Warren capped a great charge with a perfect crossing shot to JP, who sent a rocket shot into the corner of the net past the Duluth goalie, who could only wave at the ball as it blew past him. The Grey Knights kept this 1-0 lead for the rest of the first half, showing good hustle and several good passing sequences. Eli Sweet showed why he will be a tremendous force for the Knights' defense, with one really great take away midway through the half. Warren also had another tremendous pass to Elliott Pimsler, who made a good shot, with an equally good save by the Duluth goalie, who was kept quite busy through the first period. Grady had several corner kicks in the first half, and Jonathan came close to converting one corner, with the shot just wide.

The second half began with Grady once again showing the more aggressive play, marked by great hustle and passing from Eli, a wonderful sliding stop from Jeremy just inside the box, and an early charge from Jonathan and Taylor Janney. In the 9th minute of the second half, Taylor made a wonderful chip shot that just missed high. Jonathan Hollman had what appeared to be Grady's second goal in the 11th minute, but the refs called it off on a very close offsides call. JP continued his aggessive play, with one sharp shot just missing in the 17th minute. A minute later, Grady was awarded a free kick just outside the box, and Ryun Miller made a terrific shot over the Duluth wall, only to be stopped by an exceptional save by the opposing keeper. Just a few minutes later Ryun made a great high pass to Elliott, whose shot was just high and wide. After Jonathan made another good shot, Duluth was able to sneak one in through the Grady defense, to tie the score at 1-1 in the 25th minute of the half. A minute later, Grady was called for a foul inside the box, but the Duluth penalty kick hit the side post and missed. Grady took possession and raced down the field, where Jay Hearn took a deadeye shot right down the middle, but the keeper was able to push it over the crossbar. Warren's header on the ensuing corner kick was just high, followed shortly by a shot from Ryun, which was also blocked. A minute later Taylor had a free kick stopped by the Duluth defense.

At about the 30th minute of the half, Duluth started to show more aggressive play on the Grady half of the field, and began taking more shots. Grady responded well, with good defensive stops from JP, a good save in the goal by Jeremy, and a great save by Jonathan in the 31st minute. A minute later, however, Duluth had a breakaway one on one and was able to score, though many in the stands thought there should have been an offside call. But, Grady came back with a number of good shots in the waning minutes. James Howard, who came in as keeper late in the half had a great save to halt another Duluth charge.

It's great to be back in soccer season, and all in all, even though it's always tough to lose, everyone agreed that this was a good team effort, and a good beginning. There are many promising signs for the regular season, though, and it looks like this team will come together. The Grady faithful in the stands may have been small in number, but what we lacked in quantity, we made up in quality of the support, led by the untiring cheers of Midge Sweet! Come on out Thursday evening, when the Grey Knights suit up once again under the shadows of the "Big Castle" at Central Gwinnett, when we take on the home team Black Knights at 5:45. ^2001-02-22^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack H.

004fzX^Boys Fall 9-0 to Central Gwinnett 2/23/01 5:53:22 AM Eastern Standard Time

Well, folks, there are not too many highlights to write about from Thursday's game; the Grey Knights just didn't seem to be the same team from two nights earlier. With Warren unable to play, the guys weren't able to find the same rhythm at the outset, and Central Gwinnett, always a strong team, took advantage. Grady had some defensive breakdowns early on and Gwinnett got off three quick scores in the early going. There were some good defensive stops early on by Jeremy, Ryun and Jean Paul, and some good offensive play, but Grady could not convert. There were several good runs by Quinn, Jonathan, Eli, Ryun, Taylor and Lukas. JP had several good defensive stops, along with Jesse, and Elliott had a good shot off a pass from Ryun near the end of the half, but Gwinnett led by 5 at that point.

In the second half Jesse got off a good shot early on that missed high, and JP, Ryun and Jonathan had some good runs. Ryun had one free kick just saved by the opposing goalie and, though Grady had more shots on goal in this half, from Taylor, Jonathan, Lukas, Elliott and Ryun, the Grey Knights were just not able to score. Gwinnett added four more goals in the second half, and the game ended early when a Gwinnett player was injured in a collision with James Howard at the Grady goal with 7 minutes to play.

Let's all hope this loss will be put quickly behind us, and that the Knights can get back on track as the regular season approaches. The last game of this tournament will be Saturday at 5:00.^2001-02-23^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack H. Senterfit^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt

004is4^Grady Girls Drop First Match to South Gwinnett Co. High School March 1, 2001

The Grady Lady Knights returned to Gwinnett County fresh from a sweep of the Castle Cup Tournament that they have now won two years in a row. This match was with South Gwinnett. The Lady Knights knew that they would have their hands full since Nicole DeMoss had not yet recovered from an ankle sprain suffered in the Castle Cup Tournament, but they welcomed back veteran defender, Amanda Goldberg.

Still they opened strongly and dominated the first half with shots on goal from Katherine Kearns, Brigette Ukah , Claire Rosenbaum, Camden Janney and Courtney Lambert. The half was highlighted by two brilliant saves by Leigh Auerbach on a breakaway by South Gwinnett. She blocked the first shot and then immediately recovered to catch the rebound.

The second half opened with a long shot by the Gwinnett right forward from outside the 18. The shot found the inside of the far post and Grady was down 0-1. The Lady Knights then had a difficult time getting organized. The girls continued to build their attack from the rear resulting in several corner kick opportunities. One had Brigette strike a strong header that barely sailed over the crossbar.

The latter part of the game was marred by several injuries and stoppages that broke the continuity of the game. Neither team could mount a sustained attack until in the last five minutes Grady rallied to put strong pressure on Gwinnett. Unfortunately time ran out before it could produce a goal.

The Lady Knights represented themselves well, but all look forward to their next match at North Atlanta at 12 noon after the JV match at 10AM.^2001-03-01^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^LAMAR LAMBERT^CLAMBERT72@MSN.COM^004dXt
004jck^Grady JV Lady Knights Beat the North Atlanta Warriors 5-1

On a rainy Saturday morning the Grady JV Girls Soccer Team took on the North Atlanta JV's at the Warriors home field. The Lady Knights quickly took control of the game and scored three first half goals. They continued their attack in the second half with another two goals and allowed only one to North Atlanta. Goals were scored by Rebecca, Chelsea (2), Anna and Samantha. The midfield provided several opportunites and assists to the goals. The Defenders cotinually won the ball and served it up out of danger. Goalkeeping duties were shared by Kate and Tomicka who both kept the Warriors at bay in the sea of mud.

The Lady Knights are showing are great deal of improvement over last year. They are making numerous combination passes as they built their attack. The defense is aggressive and often joins the attack to keep the ball on offensive side of the field. The Varsity Girls all came early to cheer their sisters on. Unfortunately, the Varsity match scheduled for noon had to be rescheduled when the referees determined the pitch had become unplayable.^2001-03-03^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^CLAMBERT72@MSN.COM^004dXt

004jhF^The Varsity Boys opened the regular season Thursday night with a tremendous win over South Gwinnett, 1-0, and defense was the predominant theme.

Since your regular reporter was unable to be at the game, this story is compiled from wire services reports, so hopefully it will be accurate! For anyone who was there, please feel free to add to the story!) After enduring quite a rocky tour through the previous week's Castle Cup at Central Gwinnett, the Grey Knights knew the season opener would present a challenge, especially since they would be without the services of starters, Ryun Miller and Jesse Orrock. Anyone witnessing this wonderfully exciting game, though, would agree that the team rose to the challenge, and then some! The Knights played with tremendous confidence, and worked both ends of the field with spirit, concentration and great teamwork. (Some might say having the Varsity Girls team there cheering on the guys might have had something to do with it!) Warren Ukah was back in the lineup, though, and his presence definitely gave the team a great confidence boost. South Gwinnett was well aware of his dominance, too, as they had two, and sometimes three, defenders on him most of the game.

South Gwinnett pressured the Grady defense from the opening whistle, and Grady's defense was the story for much of the game. Jeremy Senterfitt was tested early and often, but responed with what many described as his best game ever in the Grady goal. He had two quick saves in the early going, and then Jonathan Hollman and Warren led the offense the other way. Though not able to put it in the net, Warren's pinpoint passing and Jonathan's good shots put the Southies on early notice that Grady had come to play offense as well as defense. Gwinnett came charging right back, but Taylor Janney had a great defensive stop in the 16th minute. Quinn Carlington also contributed many fine defensive stops. The action stayed in Grady's end for the next several minutes, with three or four shots on goal, but Jeremy saved them all. Warren answered with a good drive, followed by a wonderful charge on their goal by Jean Paul Neall. Soon thereafter South was awarded a direct kick just outside the box, but the shot was blocked by Grady's solid red wall!

After the first half ended with no score, the second half started again with pressure from South on Grady's goal, but the Knights responded once again. The team never let up, though, and the action was fast and furious on both ends of the field. Then, in the 15th minute of the second half, Grady struck paydirt, literally and figuratively. At one point, with the Southies triple teaming him and playing him rough, Warren was sent sprawling into the turf, coming up dirt flying. Warren remained calm, though, and broke through their defense to put the ball in the net for the score. This turned out to be the winning margin, but Gwinnett kept up a furious offensive attack, right up to the final horn. They had numerous shots on goal, some in rapid succession, but Jeremy found a way to get to them all, sometimes with diving saves, and sometimes going high to push the ball over the crossbar.

When the game ended, everyone in the stands agreed that this was one of Grady's most exciting games, and was a tremendous start to the regular season. Congratulations to the guys for a wonderful win!! Kudos go to Trevor Garner's uncle, who provided BBQ from his nearby restaurant to the team after the game, a well deserved reward. Remember the next game is Monday night, at Adams stadium against North Druid Hills, 7:00 PM. This will be another strong opponent, so let's all come out and show our strong support for the team!^2001-03-04^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack H.

004kPE^Grady Lady Knights Romp over Druid Hills Red Devils, 10-0!

The Lady Knights took out their frustration for a hard loss and a canceled match on Druid Hills tonight at Adams Stadium. It took about two minutes for the scoring machine to warm up and then it was Katie bar the door! The team welcomed Nicole back from her injury with high fives for the first goal! Shots on goal are credited to Katherine (KK), Claire(5), Bridgette(5), Camden(4), Chelsea(5), Emma Kate(3), Nicole(4), Katie Ross, Rachel(2), and Ariel(2). Goals were scored by Claire, Bridgette, Camden, Emma Kate, Nicole(2), Katie Ross, Rachel, and Ariel(2). Chelsea and Emma Kate had two assists and Courtney assisted Camden. There were surely many more assists that we missed, but the shots were coming so fast and furiously that it was hard to keep up with.

Although there were many highlights, two plays stand out. The first was a goal volleyed in by Bridgette to the near post. She had her back to goal and wheeled the ball around with a bullet shot that caught the keeper totally by surprise. It was the type of goal that anyone who has played the game dreams of making! The second highlight was a perfectly played through-ball from Emma Kate at midfield to Ariel at full speed running up the left side. Ariel was then one on one with the keeper and struck a beautiful ball over the keeper to catch the net right below the cross bar.

The Defense was not to be outdone. Amanda raced full speed to intercept a breakaway run at our goal. She successfully turned the player away from the goal without a shot. Leigh was as steady as ever and made four saves look easier than they were. Defense must be given alot of credit when a game is dominated the way the Lady Knights did this one with scoring spread out among all the strikers. Katherine, Amanda and Courtney handled any ball advanced to their line with skill and poise. They easily played the ball to the open defender and immediately started building up the attack from the rear. The bunched up Red Devils were constantly frustrated by switches to the opposite field that put the Lady Knights numbers up and headed for a score. Morgan and Sydney aggressively won the ball and sent it back to the offense. Jamie F.came in off the bench and contributed to the shut-out effort with good coverage.

Along with those players who scored the goals and made the shots, Coach Bolster should also be well pleased with the strong work of Jaimie, Monti,and Anna R who aggressively ruled the midfield with Emma Kate and Katie Ross. After the win the girls cheered the boys on while being treated to steaming and well-deserved hot chocolate by Coach Bolster! Well done, Ladies!^2001-03-05^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^CLAMBERT72@MSN.COM^004dXt
004kXe^Boys Varsity Suffer Tough 3-0 Defeat at the Hands of Strong North Druid Hills Team

North Druid Hills defeated the Varsity Boys 3-0 Monday night, using their speed and deep bench to wear down the Grey Knights. Playing without the services of three starters, Ryun, Jean Paul, and Jesse, as well as a depleted bench, Grady had a tough task from the opening kickoff. NDH has traditionally been strong, and they showed this strength early on with a quick offensive start. Barely into the first minute they got off a high, hard shot, but Jeremy went high to make a wonderful save. With the ball still in the Grady end, Elliott made the first of several good defensive stops. Warren made a good run in the 35th minute, but the shot was wide. NDH came charging right back, and though Taylor and Eli made some excellent plays, the opponents were able to penetrate the Grady defense and scored in the 32d minute. Grady then showed some offensive pressure, with good shots by Warren and Jonathan, and some fine passing between Jonathan and Elliott. Quinn also had several inspired runs, playing very aggressively the whole game. As the half wore on, the Grady defense was tested many times, and the action around the goal was intense. Quinn, Taylor and Eli made a number of good stops and Jeremy fought off quite a few shots. Then, in the 25th minute, NDH scored again. There were three rapid fire shots, with Jeremy saving the first two, but NDH connected on the third shot, off a rebound at the near post. From then until the first half ended, the opponents kept up the pressure, but Grady held them off, with great defensive stops by Elliott and Taylor and more saves in the goal by Jeremy. Quinn and Elliott teamed up for a couple of good runs, and Jonathan added two more good charges, but NDH stopped the shots.

As the second half started, it looked like the Knights were about to put something together, with several impressive offensive attacks. Jonathan teamed with Ishma John for some good runs, marked by good passing and footwork, and Quinn had some very good individual runs as well. Lukas Rentch played a good second half, despite being slowed by the effects of a hard first half take down which left him with a sore thigh. Taylor continued to contribute several fine defensive stops, and one particularly good long clearing pass in the 8th minute of the second half. Jay Hern and Breen Chambless both turned in good, solid defensive performances in this half, and helped hold off the relentless attack by NDH's two very fast and talented forwards. These guys were good, no question about it, and you had to be impressed with their coordinated attacks on the Grady goal. Grady was not about to give up, though, and the defense continued to play well, with a number of great plays from Taylor and Eli, and several saves by Jeremy. Quinn played very aggressively the whole half, threatening with good strong runs on offense, and making a number of good defensive stops. Jonathan had a good run in the 26th minute of the half, but the defense stopped his shot. In the 33d minute of the half, NDH put together a good offensive charge and scored on a very impressive shot that just sneaked through. The second half drew to a close with Breen, Taylor and Lukas all making good defensive plays. The Knights really played with a lot of heart and tenacity, and the effort was quite impressive, especially since so many players were out. Friday night is the home opener against W.D. Mohammed at 7:00 PM, so come on out and cheer the guys on to victory!^2001-03-06^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack H.

004lud^Grady Girls Pound North Springs 5-0

The Lady Knights came home after starting the season with five away matches to beat North Springs easily.

In the first two minutes the girls scored on a play just as Coach Bolster would have drawn it up. Bridgette streaked down the left side drawing the defenders and then passed a perfect ball to Nicole running into the center of the box. Nicole struck a one touch shot hard into the net. The keeper never had a chance. A few minutes later Rachel subbed in and immediately scored a goal. The third score started with a corner kick deflected out to Claire who assisted to Nicole with a header in a crowd at the goal mouth.

The second half showed more offense with Bridgette stealing the ball from a defender and shooting past the keeper for an unassisted goal. Emma Kate rounded out the scoring with a hard shot from the right to the far post. Nicole barely missed a hat trick with a shot to the back of the net at the buzzer that the referee waved off.

The defense should not be forgotten. There were no shots on goal! Leigh had be content with directing traffic far up field. The Lady Knigths outshot North Springs 54-0! The midfield kept the pressure on North Springs the entire night with sharp give&go's and timely switches on the field. Camden and Claire ran the flanks with ease and served up numerous scoring chances. It is hard to point out highlights of individual play because this team is such a smooth unit. The hard work has paid off and the Lady Knights showed they know how to play the game.^2001-03-09^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
004mDD^Grady Girls "Survive" W.D. Muhammad 4-0

The Lady Knights prevailed in the face of adversity against W.D. Muhammad tonight in a very physical match. Leigh could not be here, so Nicole handled the goal for the first half and Samantha the second half. Nicole had three saves and Sam had one. Morgan and Bridgette both went down and saw only limited action. Bridgette still was able to score an early goal although Muhammad stacked the box and frustrated any further efforts for the first half.

Nicole went back to center striker in the second half and Grady began to take control of the ball. They were able to put together combination passes directed by Emma Kate and Katie R. and effectively spread the defense with Camden, Claire, Katherine and Jaime on the flanks and Ariel and Chelsea running through. Nicole scored on a beautiful pass from Camden from the right flank. Rachel continued her good play with another assist to Nicole. Later Courtney brought the ball up on the right to midfield and placed an accurated through-ball to Nicole who completed her hat trick with a near post goal. Nicole reminds me of that old slogan, "You're in good hands with ALL-STATE!"

Amanda took one for the team late in the second half. Deep in left corner she slide-tackled the ball but got the player too. She was given a yellow card for her efforts. Ironically, the Lady Knights had been tripped, kicked and elbowed all night. The Grady Girls are showing they have spunk and can cope with whatever the other team throws at them. Good job!^2001-03-10^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^CLAMBERT72@MSN.COM^004dXt
004mct^Varsity Boys Dominate W.D. Mohammed 3-0

The temperature was downright cold at the stadium Friday night, but the Boys Varsity Soccer Team was hot on the field, as they shut out W.D. Mohammed 3-0! Grady dominated from the opening whistle, with Jonathan Hollman and Lukas Rentch setting up a good run early on (with the stadium clock not operational, and your reporter having neglected to turn on his watch timer, you'll have to bear with us, as there are no minute markers, but you can just add in your own!). The visitors came back with a shot pretty early, which Jeremy Senterfitt saved easily. For much of the rest of the night, Jeremy did his best imitation of the Maytag repairman, trying to stay warm while cheering on his teammates, as Grady kept the action in the opposite end of the field. Quinn Carlington had a rifle shot off a corner kick just miss wide , followed quickly by another shot by Jay Hern, which also missed wide and a lilttle high. The offense kept up the pressure, with great passing between Warren Ukah, Jonathan, Breen Chambless and Lukas. The Knights showed a lot of good, improved footwork and ball control tonight, with many great runs and good positioning. Warren made some fine passes to Lukas, who had several shots on goal in the first half. Eli Sweet continued in his tradition of "heads up" play, with a number of header stops to thwart any drives Mohammed tried to mount, just as he's done in both games so far this season. About midway in the half, Warren made a wonderful run through the opposing defense and got off a rocket shot, but their goalie went high to make a remarkable save. Soon after that, Warren made a great pass to Quinn, who fired a shot past the goalie into the far corner of the net, giving Grady their first goal! Jesse Orrock marked his return to the lineup with aggressive play all over the field, and a particularly good defensive stop shortly after Quinn's goal. Elliott Pimsler played well on the outside, showing some excellent passing work, setting up several good lobs and crossing passes. Taylor Janney also had a great game, leading the defense to stop any thoughts the visitors had of mounting any serious challenge. Breen continued his hustling, scrappy play as the first half wound down, refusing to be intimidated by the often overly aggessive tactics of some of the visitors. Ishma John had three good shots on goal as the half was coming to a close, and Jonathan also had several shots just miss, coming off good passes from Jay and Warren. As the second half opened, Grady continued with its impressive offensive showing, with shots just missing by Jesse and Jonathan. Then, just a few minutes into the period, Jesse lofted a great corner kick to the front of the goal, where Ishma knocked it down with a sharp pass to Warren, who roofed it past the outstretched hands of the Mohammed goalie, making it 2-0. Shortly after that Taylor made the first of many wonderful stops, and went on to turn in one of his better games, playing inspired defense and adding pressure on the offensive end as well. Warren was taken down right outside the box, and Quinn took the kick with a great pass off to Jesse, whose shot was stopped by their goalie, who had a very busy night. Perhaps because he was so busy blocking so many shots his frustration got the better of him, and he made a blatant and nasty takedown of Jonathan right in front of the goal. This earned him a yellow card--only one of many handed out to the visitors--which should have been a red card, and a penalty kick, and Warren easily put this past him for Grady's third and final score.

After that, Grady continued its good offense, with good passing between Warren and Ishma, and Elliott to Taylor. At one point, with Mohammed controlling the ball deep in their own end, Taylor came out of nowhere for the takeaway on a hard kick by one of the opponents, and almost scored when he whirled his body around to block the ball, and it carromed off his back just to the far side of the post. After one of their players was red carded for a blatant and ugly foul on Jonathan, Grady kept pushing the ball up the field, with nearly everyone getting in on the act. Aaron Godbey, John Fetner and David Rivas came on in relief in this half and all had some good touches and good passing. The game ended with Elliott and Jesse making shots off good passes from Taylor.

This was a good win for the Knights, and a good tune up for Tuesday's away game at Greater Atlanta Christian. This will undoubtedly be one of the biggest games of the season and will be a true challenge for Grady. So let's bring out a tremendous crowd and give our guys all the support we can.

004nm5^Varsity Boys Stun Defending State Champion Greater Atlanta Christian in 2-1 Upset Thriller!!

For all you fans who were not at Tuesday night's match against Greater Atlanta Christian, all I can say is: I'm sorry, as anyone who was there can tell you, this is why soccer is called The Beautiful Game. The Grey Knights pulled off a stunning upset victory over GAC, the defending state champs, 2-1, and believe you me, this was a game for the books! If you think I'm gushing, well, you're right! But if you think I'm exaggerating, you're wrong, and even some of the home team fans were overheard afterwards, saying "This was a soccer game!"

Grady played inspired soccer from whistle to whistle, and demonstrated tremendous maturity as a team. A single example: after GAC scored their lone goal, there were no frustrated outbursts--rather the Knights calmly and cooly gathered together in a huddle, rallying each other and planning strategy to make sure it didn't happen again, and to keep up the offensive pressure. This was really encouraging, and bodes well for the rest of the season.

The Knights were glad to have Ryun Miller and Jean Paul Neall back in the lineup, and they really sparked the Grady offense. As the action began, Jonathan Hollman also let it be known that he had come to play, and play he did. He was all over the field, literally flying past defenders, putting on an unbelievable display of ball control. Grady got its first shot on goal in the 5th minute, with JP taking a great pass from Ryun, but the shot was blocked. Taylor Janney had a good stop a minute later and Jonathan took the ball on a wonderful run, capped off by a long, pass to JP. The pass was a little long, but JP made a valiant effort to keep it in bounds with a bicycle kick that almost saved it. In the 8th minute, Warren Ukah had a good run, but was thwarted at the end. He got the ball back and executed a perfect pass to JP, whose shot was just wide. Jay Hern and Quinn Carlington were soon into the offensive attack, with terrific passing near their goal. Then, in the 11th minute, Elliott Pimsler, lurking near the far sideline, took a ricochet off the GAC goalie and, with a very difficult angle from the far side, lulled the defenders into thinking he was about to pass, sent an unbelievable shot past the keeper into the corner of the net, giving Grady a 1-0 lead.

Jonathan continued with his excellent ball control, to keep the ball away from the Spartans, and then Warren was hit with a red card in the 12th minute. Of course, this meant he was out, and Grady was forced to play the rest of the game a man down. But, though there were groans and worried looks from the Grady faithful in the stands, on the field, the Grey Knights didn't flinch. No sir, no long faces or "whatrwegonnadonow" attitudes from the players. Rather, they regrouped, and played their hearts out for the next 68 minutes. A minute later, Jeremy Senterfitt had the first of a number of great saves in the Grady goal, and then another right after that. JP followd with a strong run, bolstered by great offensive play from Jonathan. Eli Sweet made a great defensive stop in the 14th minute to stop a GAC drive, followed by another good run by JP, and then one by Ryun, Jonathan and Jay. Jeremy had another great save in the 18th minute, and a minute later Jonathan had a terrific takeaway, passing to JP who mounted a fierce charge on the GAC goal. In the 21st minute Jonathan topped off another good run with a wonderful shot from the corner that was just wide. Ryun continued his stellar offensive play, frustrating the defenders with his aggressive footwork and ball control, and passing off to Elliott and JP. A couple minutes later Taylor had another great defensive stop, and Eli continued his wonderful mastery of the header stop to frustrate yet another charge by the Spartans. Despite Papa Sweet's concern over this excessive head trauma, these plays are beautiful to behold! In the 27th minute, Ryun set up JP with a great pass, but JP's shot was saved by the GAC goalie; then Ryun got off a shot, missing just high. A minute later, with GAC threatening, Grady showed once again how far they have come as a team. As Jeremy had to come out to make a good save, the ball got away and for a minute it looked like it was behind him and heading for the goal. Then, here comes Eli, with two quick header stops in succession, with several other Knights converging to protect the goal until Jeremy could get back. Wonderful teamwork! As the first half drew to a close, GAC was awarded several free kicks, close to the goal, but each time Grady's defense held solid, with one saved by Jeremy, and one stopped by the Big Red Wall of Grady defenders. Jesse Orrock had several great defensive stops right before the half ended, and Quinn and Taylor both had good sliding tackle saves.

The first half was very fast paced, and fans wondered if the pace would take its toll in the second half, but this was truly Grady's night. The second half opened with a good save from Jeremy, and some great minutes from Trevor Garner, who was seeing his first action of the season, having injured his ankle in preseason workouts. Trevor showed that he will be a great asset to the Knights for years to come, playing very aggressively and scrapping all the way. Three minutes into the half, JP put together a great run, assisted by excellent passing from Quinn to Jonathan, and Elliott to Quinn. In the 4th minute of the half GAC committed a foul in their box, and Grady was awarded a penalty kick. Jonathan took the kick and, rather than go for the expected corner placement, drilled it right down the middle and under the keeper for the score, making it 2-0 for the good guys! Over the next 4 minutes the action was fast and furious near the Grady goal, with great saves from Eli, Jonathan and Jesse. Jesse had a beautiful takeaway from a GAC striker and once again, when Jeremy had to come out to block a shot, Taylor led the defenders in a great protective play to seal off the goal. Jonathan then led Ishma John with a great pass that seemed destined to go all the way, but they stopped it. In the 8th minute of the half, Jeremy once again had to fight off several quick shots one after another. Trevor continued his scrappy, scrambling defense, but in the 11th minute of the half, GAC fired a rocket shot from a good ways out, over Jeremy and into the roof of the goal, to close the gap to 2-1.

Grady held firm, though, with so many good quick stops by so many defenders that your reporter couldn't keep them all straight! Jonathan followed a good run by Eli, Ishma and Quinn with a hard shot that just missed wide in the 16th minute of the half. Taylor and Jesse kept up their wonderful defense, and kept the ball away from our goal. Ryun kept up his terrific offense, with great passing to JP in the 20th minute of the half. Over the next 4 minutes, the entire Grady defense was really put to the test, with GAC firing shots and making charges, but the defense held. Taylor had a wonderful clearing kick in the 26th minute, and Elliott had a tremendous takeaway. Jeremy made a tremendous save off a GAC corner kick in the 28th minute, followed by another header stop from Eli. On a direct kick near our goal, Taylor and Jesse combined to send the ball deep into Spartan territory, where Jonathan and Quinn teamed up to make some terrific offensive charges. GAC kept on coming, though, and Jeremy had another great save in the 35th minute of the half.

Needless to say, this was a wonderful, wonderful win for the Knights. The way the guys kept their cool in the face of such a challenge is really a tribute to the team and how far they've come as a unit. This will definitely be a tremendous confidence booster as we get into the heart of the season. So fans, come on out to Grady stadium at 5:00 this Friday to cheer the Knights to another victory over Southside!

004o5n^Grady Girls Juggernaut Rolls Over GAC Spartans 7-0!

The Grady Lady Knights started into the heart of their schedule with a bang at Greater Atlanta Christian Academy on a cool windy night. The Spartans have several club players with skill that could have been a problem to handle, but the Lady Knights have found a effective offensive combination with Claire and Camden serving dangerous balls into the box from the corners to Chelsea and Nicole receiving and shooting. Emma Kate had to sit this one out with a case of Montezuma Revenge that's running around the school. The pressure was kept on the GAC's with Katie Ross, KK and Chelsea winning loose balls in the middle and passing through and distributing. Shots and goals were scattered among Chelsea, Camden, Nicole (another hat trick, wow!), Ariel, Claire, Rachel, KK and Courtney. One of the prettiest plays of the season started with a ball served from Camden to Nicole who took a shot that was rebounded off the keeper to Claire who finished it with a goal.

The defense pitched another shut out. Amanda remains in firm command and handled any breakaways. Sydney stood strong against some ferocious charges. Courtney was able to slip through and get off a couple of surprise shots. It was good to have Morgan back to provide size and strength in the center of the defense. Leigh had four saves including one diving catch that preserved the shut out. Coach Bolster was able to play the whole squad and mix up the positions to allow some players to try a new role.^2001-03-15^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
004oCV^Grady Girls Take Sweet Revenge on North Atlanta Warriors 3-0

The Lady Knights faced their strongest test of the season to date at North Atlanta. Emma Kate and Nicole played against some of their club team mates while others came by to watch the fun. The cross- town rivals competed with fire and spirit and parental contingents tried to out yell each other.

Grady got off to a good start when Bridgette scored early. She has a remarkable ability to dribble past defenders and score. Shots, assists and goals were contributed by Chelsea, Camden, Bridgette, Nicole, Ariel, Claire Emma Kate,KK and Jaimie.

The defense was busy all afternoon keeping the Warriors at bay. Morgan contined to win headers to control the midfield. Sydney's play was important factor in turning away their attack. Leigh was busy all afternoon and made two heroic saves to preserve the shut out.

It's great to hear from Globetrotter Coach Block again in the Dominican Republic. We not only miss him on the field but in the classroom as well.^2001-03-15^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
004oxu^Varsity Boys Prevail 5-0 Over Southside

The biggest question facing the Varsity Boys Soccer team Friday afternoon was whether there would be any letdown after Tuesday's emotional upset of Greater Atlanta Christian, especially since Southside was not considered to be a very strong team. Fortunately, the Grey Knights answered these questions with a 5-0 victory. Though sometimes the play was spotty and not as consistent as it had been the previous game, there was still more than enough good play to prevail.

As the game began, Jonathan quickly led the offense in a good charge, with a good pass to Ishma, but just long. Quinn then got the ball and executed a pretty leading pass to Eliot, also just long. Then, in the 4th minute, on a Grady corner, Eliot had a wonderful kick that almost scored, but just hit the crossbar and bounced over the goal. The visitors hardly had time to catch their breath when, in the 7th minute Taylor sent a great pass to Jonathan, who got off a perfect shot to the far corner of the net, to give Grady a 1-0 lead. Two minutes later David Rivas, who played a very good defensive game, had a good takeaway from a charging Southside player, and passed it to Eliot. Eliot and Ryun were off to the races for the first of many wonderful offensive runs they would show throughout the game. Ryun's shot was just over the top of the goal (9th minute), and then Quinn had a shot, but it was just wide. Jonathan kept up the offense with good passing to Eliot, and then Jesse took a great shot in the 12th minute, off a good pass from Ryun, just missing. Grady kept the Southside keeper quite busy over the next few minutes, with Quinn and Jonathan both getting off good shots on goal. Breen Chambless was also playing with great offensive hustle, keeping up the pressure on the defense. With all of this offensive pressure, it was only a matter of time before Grady converted, and it happened in the 17th minute. Breen started the play with a good feed to Ryun, who executed a perfect cross to Jonathan, waiting just in front of the goal, who headed it in for his second score of the day.

Ryun continued his dominating offensive play, as he and Breen teamed up for a good run in the 19th minute, when Ryun's shot was blocked in the 20th minute, and again a minute later. Southside then put together their first offensive challenge, but Jeremy made a good save on their shot in the 22d minute. Ryun and Breen followed with a good charge, but Breen's shot was blocked (23d minute). Eli had several good defensive stops and Jeremy had another save in the 25th minute. A minute later Jesse, coming up from his defensive position, took off on a wonderful offensive run, and made a beautiful crossing pass to Eli, whose powerful shot just missed wide. The rest of the half was mostly Grady offense, with impressive ball control and nice touches by Ryun, Quinn, Jesse and Jonathan, as Grady controlled the ball, and showed continued improvement with their passing game, players doing a great job of anticipating where teammates would be and setting a crisp pace. David Rivas had several more good defensive stops, and Jeremy had a good save a minute before the half ended.

The second half opened with good offense from Ryun, Jay Hern and Eliot, with several shots on goal in succession. In the 4th minute of the half, Jeremy made a good save, and Taylor had a fine long pass to Ishma, who kept it in the Southside end, only to have his shot blocked in the 6th minute of the half. Two minutes later, Eliot and Ryun put on a great display of pinpoint passing back and forth as they charged the goal, with Eliot's shot going just wide. Eliot then fed Ryun with a pretty pass, Ryun made a great shot, but their goalie made a great save. In the 12th minute, Jeremy had to come way out to make a good save, falling just inside the box. Over the next 8 minutes, Grady's offense continued the pressure, with good shots from Jonathan, Lukas Rentch, Ryun and Jesse. In the 23d minute, Grady was awarded a penalty kick, and Jonathan converted, giving him a hat trick for the afternoon, and a 3-0 lead for the Knights. Eli followed a minute later with a good shot, just high, and Jesse made another good shot in the 24th minute, but the Southside keeper made a good save. Jesse and Eli teamed up a minute later to make a great save as Southside came as close to scoring as they did all game. Ryun followed in the 28th minute with an excellent shot from the near touch line, but it was just wide. Two minutes later Taylor had a wonderful shot, missing just high. In the 32d minute, Southside committed a handball foul inside the box, and Quinn converted the PK to make it 4-0, Grady. As the game drew to a close, Ryun completed the scoring for the Knights with a goal in the 37th minute, bringing the final score to 5-0.

All in all, it was a great effort by the Knights. Several players were nursing bruises from Tuesday night's physical game, and JP was out of action all together. It was good to get the win, and now Grady goes up against North Springs in an away game, 6:00 PM Monday. With Grady's record now at 4 and 1 for the season, we're on a roll, and building momentum. Let's all come out and cheer them on to another victory Monday night and help keep the energy high! ^2001-03-17^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack Senterfitt^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt

The JV girls continued their winning ways in a hard fought match at Chapel Hill High School in Douglas County. Chapel Hill is a new school in an upscale community with lots of soccer players. Rebecca lobbed a shot over the Goal Keeper's right side for the first goal. Lydia took a penalty kick from 25 yards out and arched the ball past the Goal Keeper's left to end the scoring in the first half. The remainder of the game was hard nose to nose play to keep the Panthers out of the goal. Kate had five saves and Amanda added two more to preserve the shut-out.^2001-03-20^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
004pw1^Lady Knights Welcome Chapel Hill Panthers With A 5-0 Win!

It was high noon when the Grady Girls met the Chapel Hill Varsity for a shootout in suburbia. The first few minutes were a struggle as the Lady Grey Knights tried to wake up and find their form. The defense had to struggle to shut down runs from the midfield. Slowly Grady's timing returned and the match began to go their way. Emma Kate had her best match of the season to this reporter directing the offense and distributing the ball. She also had a beautiful goal off a penalty kick. She later remarked that the key to their success came from the intangibles of being first to the ball, and winning it out of the air. Once you do the little things, the scoring will come.

Bridgette also had a good match with her ability to bring the ball out of the air to her feet and shoot as she contributed another goal. Nicole always finds ways to win. This time she had two assists to complement her two goals. Speedy Jaimie F. also contributed with another goal.

The defense fought a war of attrition that escalated as the frustrated Panthers continued to press throughout the match. We missed Morgan's strength in the middle, but she was injured. Amanda continued her impressive play clearing the ball out of danger. Leigh had pressure all day with three saves in the first half and two in the second. Camden's determination to win the ball in the midfield helped keep the pressure away from the goal. Courtney was able to shut down their fastest striker who committed four fouls trying to get past her in the last ten minutes.

The Panthers fans appeared to be as shocked and frustrated as their players that Grady could shut them out 5-0. I certainly hope our fans never resort to shouting insults at our opponents.^2001-03-20^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
004q16^Lady Knights "Walk Over" Walker 4-1

It was a cold and stormy night and everyone felt it. The Lady Knights defense missed Morgan and Courtney with injuries. The field was slick and muddy. The combination of conditions made the whole team seem "out of sync".

After Grady scored early, Walker was able to get through the defense and score on a crossing shot to the far post to tie the score. It was the first goal given up since the first match of the season!

At that point the team began to buckle down and win some balls. The Knights scored one more goal to end the first half 2-1 with outcome still much in doubt.

The defense was better organized in the second half, but Leigh still had to dive to block a couple of shots. The second shot result in a furious battle in the mouth of the goal until Amanda finally cleared it out of harm's way.

Later, Emma Kate took a penalty kick from thirty yards out that was mishandled by the Keeper and scored by Chelsea. In the last few minutes, Emma Kate made an excellent square pass to Nicole at the six that she was able to score to round it out at 4-1.

Give credit to Walker that continued to press hard throughout the match. They have some excellent midfielders.^2001-03-20^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt

004rs3^Christian Brothers Puts on Clinic in 6-0 Defeat of Varsity Boys

Well folks, Friday night's game against Christian Brothers was tough to watch in one sense and good to watch in another. First, from the standpoint of wishing to see Grady prevail, it was tough. From the standpoint of watching a team that is talented, disciplined, organized and well prepared, it was a superb demonstration by the visitors. From the outset it was obvious that these guys were playing at a different level. They seemed to know exactly where everyone was on the field at all times, exactly where to pass the ball, exactly where to be to intercept passes by Grady, exactly where to be to position themselves to make the plays, etc. They were both quick and fast, and, all things considered, Grady stayed with them better than one might have expected. As our guys have demonstrated in past games, Grady depends on heart, and this was evident last night, too. It's one thing to play well when you know you're in the game; it's quite another thing to continue to play well when it is apparent that you're outmatched. The Knights showed heart by staying with it, and playing aggressively against long odds all night.

Early on Quinn made some good stops, and when the visitors were awarded their first free kick near the 18, the Grady wall kept them out of the goal. Their offense broke through in the 8th minute, however, to put up their first goal. Eliot then made a good defensive stop, and Jesse, taking a page out of Eli's playbook, came through with a good header stop. Ryun made a good shot on a direct kick in the 11th minute, just wide, and Eliot almost converted. Christian Brothers then put up two more goals in quick succession, on good crossing passes. In the 14th minute JP had a good shot on goal, but it was just wide. Ryun, JP and Jonathan then mounted a good offensive charge, marked with good passing and ball control. Their defense stopped the run, however, and they came back with another good cross to an unmarked striker right in front of the goal, who headed it in to make it 4-0. In the 24th minute Quinn made a good shot off a free kick, Ryun followed with a good shot and Jonathan put up another good shot, all of which were blocked by the visiting defenders. Taylor made a terrific stop in the 28th minute and Jeremy saved a tough shot in the 31st minute. As the half drew to a close, Jesse, JP and Ishma all had good defensive plays to stop the otherwise charging offense from scoring again.

In the second half, Christian Brothers kept coming, with a dangerous shot off a corner in the 3d minute of the half, but Jeremy saved it. In the 6th minute of the half, with a free kick just outside the 18, the visitors made an impressive play, with a couple of fakes, and then a remarkable placement to the side of the net by their forward. Jesse made another great stop in the 8th minute, but a minute later Christian Brothers put in their final goal off a good corner kick. For the next 30 minutes, though, Grady played them tough, and even though the visitors kept the ball down around the Grady goal, the Knights prevented any more scores. In the 13the minute of the half, Jeremy had a great save, a rebound, then anohter save. Quinn had a good run toward the goal and JP had a good shot miss just wide. After another good save by Jeremy in the 20th minute, Jonathan and Quinn both had shots blocked right at the visitors' goal. Eli had a good takeaway in the 21st minute and Taylor had several good defensive stops. Christian Brothers continued to keep Jeremy busy in the goal, but he made several more good saves to prevent any more scoring.

The visitors were very impressive, to say the least. Now the task is for the Grey Knights to rebound from this game and pull out all the stops for next Tuesday's game against Lovett. This game is at Lovett at 7:00, and this promises to be a big game for the Knights. We all know that Lovett fans fill their stadium, but for all who remember last year's game, we know we can pack the place with Grady fans as well. It will be a big boost for the guys to have lots of cheering fans in the seats, so everyone come on out to support the team!! ^2001-03-24^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack Senterfitt^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt
004s1K^Lady Knights Charge Ahead With Big Mo-mentum and Take Holy Innocents 3-1

The Lady Knights put together their best overall team effort to prevail over the ranked Holy Innocents Bears, 3-1. The Grady Girls are showing more maturity and playing smart soccer that helped them win against a speedy team. Credit for this victory should first go to the midfield that consistently won balls in the air to keep the pressure on the Holy Innocents defense. Katie Ross and Morgan were courageous in their tackling and shielding in the center. KK had an excellent match winning header after header to maintain possession and start the attack. Camden kept the defense spread out with constant runs on the flank. The first Grady goal came at the 10 minute mark when Nicole scored after relentless pressure inside the Holy Innocents 18.

In the second half Camden made a great run and finished it with a perfect square pass across the mouth of the goal to Nicole who stuck it in the back of the net.

Later Courtney and Camden teamed up. Courtney won the ball and started up field. They then played give and go all the way up the right side. The defense was addled and did not who to cover. Camden passed at the 18 to Courtney who faked a shot while Cam broke for the left side. Courtney passed and Camden ran on to the ball and drilled it into the upper left corner.

Bridgette and Claire both kept pressure on the Bears' defense all day with shots and passes. Emma Kate almost connected with another of her patented direct kicks.

The Grady defense had plenty to do with Amanda and Sydney clearing shots on goal before they got to Leigh. Rachel played some good defensive midfield with tenacious tackling. The Bears went all out toward the end of the game to prevent a shut out and finally were able to get a high shot over Leigh. Our defense then held them off for the last ten minutes playing some smart ball control and switching the ball out of pressure.

Hats off to the Lady Knights for a superb team victory in their toughest test so far!^2001-03-24^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^CLAMBERT72@MSN.COM^004dXt
004srA^Grady Girls Survive Shoot-out with Providence Stars

The Lady Knights had a tough game tonight with the Providence Stars. The opposition was both big and fast. The Lady Knights struck first with a goal from Nicole (I like the ring of that!) off a beautiful assist from Claire. The second goal came off a shot from Emma Kate that grazed down off the cross bar. Nicole was able get it under control and finish it. Providence has two powerful strikers that badgered our defense all night. Late in the first half one of them was able to make a run and get a shot that found the net. Nicole answered with a unassisted goal to go into the second half up 3-1.

In second half Claire was able to get results off the many runs she had been making. She scored two goals and we needed them both.

The pressure on our defense was relentless all night. At one point it took Amanda, Leigh and Courtney to save a goal inside our six. Rachel, Chelsea and Jaimie came into to give Coach Bollster some good minutes when our strikers and midfielders needed a rest. We bent but did not break. Providence was able to add three goals between their two strikers on breakaway runs. The final whistle sounded and none too soon. Grady 5 - Providence 4.

004ta9^Varsity Boys Stand Tall in Tough loss to Lovett, 2-1

The Grey Knights always face a challenge when they travel to the banks of the Chattahoochee to meet Lovett--sometimes from a Lovett team that is really good, but always from a Lovett team that apparently is coached to play more than just rough, but often over the edge in terms of clean play and sportsmanship. Tuesday night was no exception, and the refs let many more fouls go uncalled, and should have given the home team more cards. In the face of such hospitality, Grady nevertheless played tough the whole game, and it was a hard game to lose.

In the opening minutes, Jonathan started off with some good offensive passing, and Eli had a good takeaway from a Lovett forward. In the 3d minute, Lovett had a close shot that Jeremy saved, going to the ground, but the ball slipped just past his outstreched arms and they were able to push it in for the first score. It appeared that Lovett was offsides, and when the Grady cocaptains asked the ref to explain why this was not the case, he could come up with no explanation. Quinn put on a good offensive run in the next minute, and Taylor and Eli both had good stops. In the 8th minute JP got through the Lovett defense and had a wonderful shot that looked good, but glanced off the crossbar. Lovett came charging right back and penetrated the Grady defense with a good crossinp pass to a striker who was open right in front of the goal for a header into the corner of the net to make it 2-0, Lovett. Jeremy had a good save a minute later and Eli had a wonderful stop off a Lovett corner kick. In the 11th minute Breen and Trevor combined for some really good offensive play, refusing to bow to Lovett's style of defense (which often included such tactics as holding jerseys, pushing, etc.). Ryun made a number of excellent passes, to Quinn and to Breen to keep the Grady offense going. In the 12th minute Grady got on the board, with a beautiful shot from Jonathan to the far corner of the Lovett goal. JP, Trevor and Ryun kept up the offensive pressure over the next 5 minutes, and Taylor had a couple of terrific defensive stops. Jeremy had another good save in the 21st minute, and Trevor and Jesse repeatedly foiled charges by the Lovett offense. Quinn had a wonderful shot in the 23d minute, but the Lovett goalie saved it. A minute later, Lovett's "star" player showed his true colors and, sadly, the results of the typical Lovett coaching, by a blatant and ugly attack on Eli. Quite naturally, Eli tried to defend himself and the refs red carded both players. Grady refused to fold, however, and Jeremy had two terrific saves in succession a minute late. In the 26th minute, a Lovett player made a ridiculously blatant foul, resulting in a yellow card, which should have been a red card. Jeremy had several very good saves in the waning minutes of the half, and Ryun, Jonathan and JP kept pushing the ball up the field, where Quinn had two good shots saved in the final minute of the half.

Grady clearly outplayed Lovett in the second half, with most of the action in the Lovett half of the field. Taylor started off with a very good defensive stop in the 2d minute and Trevor kept up his scrappy play, both offensively and doggedly on defense. Jeremy had a good save in the 3d minute, and JP and Ryun mounted a good run in the 5th minute. Quinn executed a wonderful sliding tackle to stop a Lovett run in the 7th minute and Jesse had a beautiful stop in the 8th minute, followd by a good save from Jeremy in the 10th minute. Grady charged often and had two corner kicks in the 12th and 13th minute, and almost converted, but the Lovett goalie made some good saves. Taylor had one spectacular corner, placing the ball perfectly to JP who headed it just wide. Jeremy had another good save in the 15th minute, and then Jonathan, JP and Taylor took the ball deep into Lovett territory, where Taylor had a great shot, saved by their keeper in the 19th minute. Jesse's shot was saved in the 27th minute, and the Quinn led a beautiful charge, with great passing to JP, who touched it perfectly to Jonathan, but his shot was saved at the last minute. Quinn, Ryun and JP had several good shots in the final minutes, but the Knights just ran out of time. All in all, the guys played a great game, in the face of considerable adversity. The last game before Spring Break is Friday night against Douglass at home, 5:00 PM, so let's everyone come on out to cheer on the Knights!! ^2001-03-28^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack Senterfitt^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt

004vnV^Good Practice on a Spring Evening Nets 15-0 Victory in Shortened Game

The stands filled up slowly on the last Friday evening before Spring break, and the Grady High School boys' varsity soccer team wasn't cranked up for an intense battle. They faced Douglass High School soccer players for whom soccer is at least a second sport. Nonetheless the competition showed exceptional sportsmanlike behavior, and stuck with the game till the 34th minute in the second half when the game was called at 15 to zip and the neon soccer balls were called in for a rest.

The game kicked off with a pass from Warren to Jonathan in the 2d minute, then a shot by Warren and a header by him off a corner shot from Ryun in the 3d minute. Clearly the Douglass goalie was going to get a workout. Eliot got a good run in the 5th minute and after repeated action, Jonathan made the first goal of the night after the goalie came out to get a shot from Ryun (10th min.). Shortly thereafter, Jonathan was tripped just outside the box; Ryun took the direct kick and scored on a powerful ground kick. Folks, we're just into the 11th minute and the score is 2-0.

Trevor made some good stops, and was active and dogged throughout the game. Jean Paul was lively and had several shots that hit the bar or were just shy, beginning in the 14th minute. In the 15th minute Jonathan scored on a pass from JP for the assist after the goalie failed to effectively clear the ball (3-0). Quinn had a few shots that also missed, the first coming in the 18th minute, followed by a header by Warren on Ryun's corner that missed. However, one minute later Warren got his first goal of the evening with some nice weaving and running, making the score 4-0. It was a night for everyone and Jesse got a shot in the 21st minute, then Lucas tried, and then Jonathan, again (neither the writer nor the observers sure if Warren assisted), making it 5-0 in the 26th minute.

Defense finally got a lick in, with Jeremy Senterfitt touching the ball as goalie in the 27th minute. The short-lived defense was activated by Lucas and Quinn. A couple of minutes later, Jeremy emerged onto the field transformed as-- what?!-- a forward! Six minutes later Jeremy converted a feed from Warren into our goalie's first goal of the year (6-0). Ishma was working the front, as was Breen. John Fenter had a couple of good stops, including one in the 35th minute, and a couple of moments later with Aaron Godbey.

Offsides were called often against the Knights (usually quite properly), but in the 38th minute Warren got a direct kick after Lucas got pushed in the box. A tap into the corner gave Warren #2 and the score 7-0. James Howard, in at goalie, got his first save at the 38th minute and sent the ball nicely. Lucas had a great run and a terrific shot that was saved by the Douglass goalie. Another goal by Warren with 13 seconds left on the board for the half, made it 8-0 at the half (I think).

The first minute of the second half featured a goal by Jesse assisted by JP (9-0), then a dash by Douglass players that ended in their rare appearance before James in goal. JP got a second goal in the 4th minute (10-0), with good playing by Taylor Ryun, a nice headers by David Rivas and Trevor. Breen had a shot in the 10th minute that was saved. Confusion surround the 12th minute goal that that was not counted for reasons fans could not discern; a goal in the 14th minute was disallowed for offsides.

One of the nicest plays of the evening, certainly worthy of repeating in more challenging situations, was a beautiful and smooth header by Jesse off a perfectly placed corner by Jay Hearn (11-0). At this point, Coach Hotnog called on fresh legs for the field and the entire team was repositioned. Taylor Janney had a shot that bounded off the cross bar; his re-kick hit the bar again. Taylor then placed a corner kick to Ishma, who's header glanced off the cross bar. Lucas had several powerful and long throw-ins, including in the 27th minute, and Ishma got a left-footed goal in the 30th minute (12-0). Then in the 35th minute Jesse had a terrific throw in to Taylor who made the last goal of the game, 13-0.

Except, as noted earlier, the score was 15-0. So where are those other 2 goals? Ah, buried in the scrawled notes of the chatty scribe who greatly appreciated the input ofthe attentive and knowledgeable audience, but whose contributions were not able to prevent the misplacement of several points. Not to worry. Good practice was had. And Jack Senterfitt, soccer clerk of record, will return after vacation when our soccer players will finish out the regular season with five games that should not be missed!!!^2001-04-03^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Midge Sweet^sweetmidge@aol.com^004dXt

004zC5^Lady Grey Knights Make Douglass Astros See Stars, 13-0!

It was a warm sunny April afternoon, but the shots rained down toward the Douglass goal like a spring thunderstorm. The final tally was 50- 0. Coach Bolster was able to use her full complement of players to finish up our Atlanta Public High School Schedule. Regardless of what the future holds, the Grady Girls can claim to be undisputed, unofficial champion of the APHS teams with a perfect record against all comers.

Almost everyone had at least one shot on goal. Nicole lead the scoring with four goals including one header off a beautiful assist from Camden. Bridgette and Chelsea each scored two goals from the center. Claire, Ariel, Emma Kate, Jaimie, and Rachel also scored. Assists came from Camden, Katie Ross, Bridgette and Nicole plus others I missed in the action.

The defense kept the ball on our offensive end of the field for the vast majority of the time. Even when the rare miscue left the ball at the Astros' feet, our defenders were able to recover before they could mount a serious threat. Sydney, Samantha and Jaimie took over the defense without any drop in intensity.

It was great to see our freshmen contributing so much to the team effort. It is quite evident that the leadership of our seniors has the entire team clicking on all cylinders.

The team is now entering "crunch time" with matches against Pace and Paideia coming up on 4/12 at Pace and 4/16 at Grady. Our ladies need all the support we can muster to pull them through. Gather your friends and neighbors to support the Lady Grey Knights. They deserve it for this season.

The Varsity Boys notched an easy win against region opponent Buford on Tuesday night. It was clear from the opening touch that Buford was no match for the Grey Knights. Grady's offense controlled the ball for practically the entire game, and, with the exception of one unfortunate breakdown, the defense easily handled any threats Buford mounted.

Grady had the first shot on goal in the second minute, with Jonathan's shot off a pass from Warren saved by the Buford goalie. A minute later Taylor made a great corner kick to Warren's header, which just missed. Jesse came right back with a hard shot a minute later, but the goalie, who was to have a very busy night, saved it. After a good defensive stop by Jay Hern, Warren had a good shot that their goalie was just able to reach, sending it over the crossbar, but setting up a Grady corner kick in the 6th minute. Ryun took the corner, and put just the right touch on the ball, placing it perfectly to Warren, who headed it in for Grady's first score. A minute later, Jonathan had a superb takeaway and set up Ryun for a good shot, that just missed wide. After Jeremy saved a Buford shot in the 8th minute, JP sent a perfectly placed pass to Jonathan, who took it the rest of the way and blasted it past the Buford keeper to make it 2-0 Grady. In the 9th minute, Taylor took a corner to JP, who struck a sharp header, but it was just high. This, along with many others throughout the game, was a wonderful demonstration of Grady's improved play on corner kicks, with excellent placement and aggressive charges. In the 10th minute Buford began to show a little life on offense, but Quinn had a good stop, and Jeremy made a good stop in the 11th minute. In the 13th minute, however, the Knights' defense had a momentary lapse and allowed Buford an easy score, but the only one of the night. The Grady offense picked it back up and Warrent had a good shot off a pass from Jesse, but missed. After Jay made another good stop in the 16th minute, JP and Jonathan were off to the races once again, this time, JP taking Jonathan's pass and sending a hard shot, just wide of the net in the 17th minute. Warren had a good run a minute later, but the keeper saved the shot. In the 18th minute, Grady's corner game came through once again, with Ryun setting up JP perfectly for a header into the corner of the net, making it 3-1, Grady.

Over the next several minutes, Grady played very well on both ends, with Quinn and Breen making good defensive stops, thwarting any hope Buford had of capitalizing on their earlier goal. Ryun continued his excellent work on the offensive end, making a wonderful crossing pass to JP, whose shot was just wide, in the 22d minute. Ryun had two shots in quick succession a couple of minutes later, one missing high, and one saved by the Buford keeper. Trevor Garner came in for some wonderful minutes at the end of the first half, bedeviling the Buford forwards with his scrappy defense. Jesse had some good offensive play in the last minutes of the half, and Taylor had several shots blocked by their defense. In the 37th minute, Warren took it to the goal and placed a terrific shot past the goalie, to make it 4-1 to close out the half.

The second half opened on the same theme, with Ryun and Trevor applying the early offensive pressure. Ryun also set up Taylor with a tremendous pass, and Taylor sent a hard shot toward the top of the goal, but the Buford keeper was just able to save it over the crossbar, setting up another Grady corner. Jonathan took Taylor's corner kick and just missed high with another great shot. In the 6th minute of the half, JP made an excellent cross to Ishma, but his shot was just wide. Jonathan had another shot a minute later, missing high, and then Trevor made two excellent defensive stops, coming out of nowhere to stop a charge. In the 10th minute, the Knights had one of their better offensive charges, with excellent touch passing between JP, Ryun and Jonathan. Jeremy had a good save a minute later, and it was back to the other end, with shots by JP, Ryun, Breen and Taylor pressuring the Buford goalie. Breen had a good defensive takeaway in the 21st minute, leading to Grady's next goal. JP made a superb pass to Ryun, who converted to make it 5-1. A minute later Jonathan got off a beautiful shot past the keeper for his second goal, making it 6-1 for the Knights. In the 26th minute Jonathan set up Taylor, who sent a hard shot that looked like it would make it, but the keeper saved it at the last second. David Rivas had a good stop a minute later, and the JP had a powerful shot hook a little left, just missing. In the 31st minute Jonathan connected on a rocket shot to the corner of the net, giving him his second hat trick of the season, and Grady a 7-1 lead. In the 33d minute Eliot, who played outstanding offense all night, lofted an excellent shot from the far corner, just missing. Jesse got off a good shot a minute later, and then JP ripped a shot past the weary Buford keeper for Grady's final goal of the night.

This was a great way to shake off the cobwebs after Spring Break, and good to get a region win. Thursday's game is at 7:00 at Northgate so let's all come out to support the Knights! We need to keep up the momentum, since next week will be quite full, with Darlington, Wesleyan and Decatur! Congratulations to the guys on another good win!

The Grady Girls reached a new milestone in a hard fought victory against long-time soccer power Pace Academy. Until now Grady has always been placed in a region with the top two teams in AA. This year the high school levels were mixed up with Westminster and Lovett going to AAA. Still Grady was in a region with Paideia (now ranked #1 in AA) and Pace. The Lady Knights would have to beat at least one of the these soccer powers to even get into the state playoffs. Today that feat was accomplished.

The two teams of "knights" met appropriately at the Pace field that resembled a castle stronghold set on a mountain side. The stands were too small to hold the fans who spilled over onto the sidelines. At times it appeared to interfere with the play.

The match was heated and heavily contested from the start. Nicole had an early shot that caromed off the right post in the first minute. Later she suffered from a quick whistle that canceled a goal after she had been fouled. In the second half she had a second goal called back over a foul I could not see. With ten minutes left in the first half, Emma Kate scored on a direct kick about thirty yards out. The ball caught the upper left corner for the only score of the match.

The Lady Knights gave a total team effort for this victory. Much of the action was at midfield. Bridgette's strength was a definite factor in controling the flow of the play. She had a cannon shot from twenty-five yards out that I was amazed to see the keeper stop. Katie Ross aggressively stepped to the ball. Claire made some beautiful passes that almost set up scores and had three shots. Camden won numerous one-on-one battles and put a great deal of pressure on the keeper with centering passes. Morgan had her best match with headers and winning the ball at midfield.

The defense was a major factor in this match. Leigh had a great day with ten saves. Amanda was all over the backfield clearing balls with strong kicks and headers. Courtney consistly stopped advances on her flank and placed the ball to our middies to set up the offense. At one point she cleared a hard shot in the mouth of the goal after Leigh had to challenge a striker. Katherine kept the Pace strikers out of shooting range. Neither Chelsea or Jaimie were intimidated by the situation and kept the pressure on Pace late in the match.

This match was definitely a total team effort. This effort is the type that wins championships. Keep up the good work.^2001-04-13^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
0050qt^Varsity Boys Nuke Northgate 6-3

Playing on what is probably the world's smallest field, the Grady Boys Varsity Soccer team overpowered Newnan's Northgate 6-3. From the opening kick it was apparent that Grady would dominate this game, despite the small field and the rather remarkable referees, who made some of the more confounding calls of the season. After Northgate had an early shot on goal that Jeremy saved quite easily, Warren put Grady on the board in the 3d minute with a singularly dominating run and a powerful shot to the corner of the net. A minute later JP followed a great stop by Jesse with another hard charge, ending with a shot that missed high. Jesse then took a free kick in the 7th minute and blasted it over the Northgate wall, but it also missed high. JP and Quinn put together the first of what would prove to be many wonderfully choreographed offensive runs, marked by good passing, good anticipation of where teammates would be, and good footwork. Warren had a good steal in the 9th minute, to start Jonathan and JP off on another fine run, but JP's shot was saved by their keeper. Eli turned in a wonderful offensive performance in the game and helped keep the pressure on the opponents' defense all night. In the 11th minute JP had a nice run, ending with a shot that was just high. Warren had a free kick 2 minutes later that just missed over the crossbar. Jonathan followed that with a beautiful run and a great shot, but their goalie managed to save it. He was not so fortunate a minute later, however, when Jonathan put some moves on him, pulled him out of position, and easily punched a shot around him and into the net to make it 2-0.

Taylor Janney was the defensive anchor all night, often being the lone defender left to thwart a Northgate charge, which he did, time and time again. In the 16th minute he had a great stop, followed by three terrific saves by Jeremy in the goal over the next several minutes. In the 26th minute Jonathan, JP and Quinn put on an offensive clinic, with several crisp and laser sharp passes, ending with Quinn's shot going just high. In the 28th minute, Eliot and Trevor combined to play some wonderful defense, resulting in a spectacular steal. A minute later Jeremy had another good save. Warren followed with a great pass to Jonathan, whose shot was just wide. Jesse had a terrific stop a minute later and in the 32d minute, Jeremy had to come way out to stop what looked like a sure goal, and made a great save. He followed with another good save off the ensuing corner kick, to keep the Vikings off the board. In the 34th minute Jonathan had a shot from an unbelievable angle, almost completely at the corner, and it just barely missed. A minute later, his aggressive offense paid off--he made a great spin move to deke a defender and roofed a rocket shot into the net to make it 3-0 for the Knights. Eliot followed with another great shot, but missed just high. JP followed in the 37th minute with a good shot just high, and then Taylor and Jesse teamed up to make a wonderful defensive stop. Warren took the ball in the 38th minute and was off to the races, befuddling numerous defenders and ripping a great scoring shot past the goalie, for Grady's 4th goal. The half ended with Jeremy making a great save off a free kick (one of too many awarded by the refs!).

The second half opened the same way, with Jeremy making a good save in the 1st minute. JP had a good shot on goal in the 3d minute, followed by Eliot's shot a couple of minutes later. In the 9th minute Jeremy had to come out for another good save, and the Knights showed great poise, though, with Taylor coming over to make a wonderful saving kick in the mouth of the goal--great teamwork!! In the 10th minute Jeremy had one of his more spectacular saves of the season--the Vikings got off a hard shot, heading toward the roof of the net, looking like a sure goal. Jeremy timed his leap perfectly, trapping the ball for a split second against the crossbar, then pushing it over for the save. Trevor followed that with his usual good defense and Quinn, Warren and JP pushed the ball upfield for several good shots on goal. The Vikings put on some pressure of their own over the next few minutes, keeping Jeremy busy in goal. He responded with another great save over the top of the crossbar, followed by two more good saves. In the 19th minute, Jeremy made a wonderful diving save, smothering the ball as he went down to the ground, right in the mouth of the goal. The Viking player tumbled over Jeremy, and, to the amazement of the fans, the referee did not call roughing the keeper on Northgate, but called a foul on Jeremy! Northgate scored on the penalty kick, making it 4-1. On the kickoff, though, Warren showed the home crowd how a legitimate goal is scored, making a good steal and rocketing a scoring shot past the goalie to make it 5-1. Jeremy had another good save in the 21st minute and a minute later Quinn made a very impressive soft chip shot that their goalie just barely reached for the save. Jesse, who played great offense all night, got off a great shot in the 23d minute, and the goalie had no chance--6-1, Grady. In the 27th minute Warren set up JP with a great pass, and JP's shot was just wide. Jeremy had another good save in the 30th minute. A minute later, Northgate scored on a beautiful, high, hooking shot into the top corner, a shot that James had not chance to stop. In the 34th minute Eli had a good steal, passing it to Ishma, whos shot just missed. Jesse had a great header stop in the 37th minute, and Eli just missed a shot a minute later. As the game entered the last minute, Northgate managed to put up one more score, but the final tally was 6-3, Grady.

This was a great tuneup for next week, the final week of the regular season, and it will be a full one. Three games, all at home, two of them region games, very important for the Knights' chances for post season play. Tuesday we start with Darlington at 6:30, a non region game, but one that is always a good contest. Then Weslyan comes calling at 5:00 on Wednesday--this promises to be a really great game, as Weslyan just defeated GAC last night. Then, Friday brings in Decatur at 8:00, and anyone who remembers the last few Decatur games knows that this will be a shootout! It is also Senior Night, so everyone come out to honor the Seniors, who have all contributed so much to make the last 4 years of Grady Soccer so memorable. And don't forget to come out Monday night to see the best girls' matchup of the season--No. 2 Grady against No. 1 Paideia!! Go Knights!! ^2001-04-14^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack Senterfitt^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt
0051nF^Grady Lady Knights Fall Short in "Clash of the Titans, Part 2"

Everyone could tell that something big was going to happen this afternoon. The Grady Parking Lot was full. People kept streaming into the stadium. It was the meeting of the no. 1 rated Paideia Pythons and the no. 2 rated Grady Lady Knights. Fans turned out from all over town. Many community friends were there who did not have children at Grady either now or in the past. The stands were filled more than I can remember. This was a girls soccer match! You've come a long way baby!

The match started at 6pm and the Grady girls were obviously tense from all of the build-up for this event. The first half was dominated by Paideia who managed eight shots on goal. Leigh stopped them all. Even though not much of the action was on the Grady offensive end, we still managed eight shots on goal also. Nicole had four, Claire had one and Emma Kate had three. The match developed into a defensive struggle. Amanda continued to clear the ball away, while Katherine K. took on the tough duty of shutting down the Paideia "super star", Emily Shim.

The second half opened with Grady beginning to have the better part of the action. Bridgette was able to pass the smaller Paideia marking backs while Claire made several flanking runs to put pressure on the Python defense. Katie Ross stepped to the ball to begin to turn the midfield play Grady's way. Courtney and Camden worked in tandem to blunt the Paideia offense and turn them away time after time. Katherine K. ran Shim down all night until she was obviously frustrated with her lack of success. Chelsea had a beautiful volley shot in the second half that could have won it for Grady except for a great save by the Python keeper. Nicole began to have more success with breakaway runs resulting in six second half shots, but regulation time with a 0-0 deadlock.

The first overtime period showed Grady's continued pressure on the Paideia. It appeared that it was just matter of time until we would score, but shots were wide and high. Still the match was tied.

The second overtime showed both teams to be tired. The play slowed down into an ebb and flow for both sides. Unfortunately a Paideia player found herself unmarked on the right side in the box and was finally able to push a shot past Leigh. Grady immediately started to rally with an offensive push, but as often happens taking risks can backfire. A ball served off a corner kick got loose at the six and Paideia was able get a garbage goal. Still the Lady Knights kept trying until time finally ran out.

After the match former teamates and club teamates congratulated each other on the field and old friends met in the stands and hugged and chatted about old times in an Inner City show of sportsmanship that is rarely seen in the burbs. Let's give joint MVP awards to Katherine and Leigh for outstanding performances even if we didn't win this time. Chances are, we'll get another opportunity this year.^2001-04-16^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^CLAMBERT72@MSN.COM^004dXt
0052N1^Varsity Boys Overcome Wind and Cold, and Darlington 5-1!

On an otherwise beautiful spring evening, when the temperature dropped like a rock to an unseasonable low and bone chilling winds whipped through the stadium, the Varsity Boys played a very impressive game to defeat a strong Darlington team 5-1. As the fans huddled close together in the stands in a rather futile effort to find warmth, it was clear that the wind would be a factor from the outset, when otherwise booming kicks were stopped in midair. But the Grey Knights adjusted well, beginning with a save by Jeremy in the 1st minute. Grady opened the scoring in the 4th minute, when JP had a singularly dominant run, in which he overpowered several defenders and put a beautiful angle on a shot to the nfear corner of the net. Two minutes later Warren was fouled just outside the 18, and he made a wonderful shot on the free kick, missing just wide. Eli then had the first of a number of pretty steals throughout the night, and in the 8th minute Warren made a great run, sending a wonderful cross to Ryun, whose shot was just wide. Eliot followed with a great defensive stop, sending the ball back to the Darlington end, where Grady once again demonstrated its much improved play on corner kicks. Corner kicks were often tricky with the wind factor, but Ryun sent up a perfectly placed kick, threading the needle among 3 defenders, where Warren blasted a shot by the Darlington keeper, to make it 2-0, Grady. Eli and Jesse then combined on great defensive work, and Jeremy had a good save in the 11th minute. Two minutes later, however, Darlington took the ball just inside the near corner, sent a beautifully executed crossing pass to a striker who put a very good shot into the net, to give the visitors what turned out to be their only score. Darlington's lack of scoring for the rest of the game was not for lack of trying, however, and was a direct result of the terrific play by so many of the Grady defenders. In the 15th minute Eli made a great stop, followed immediately by a great stop by Taylor, followed immediately by a great stop by Trevor. Trevor played a tremendous game, seeming to come out of nowhere to make a steal, a sliding tackle, or to throw his body in the way of a charge, often to the look of total surprise by a much taller Darlington player! It's good to know the Knights will have him for 3 more years!

The Knights' offense had another good overall game, with several players stepping up to keep the pressure on. Jesse had a wonderful pass to Ryun in the 18th minute, but the goalie made a great save on Ryun's shot. After Taylor made another terrific stop, in the 21st minute JP made a superb pass to Jonathan, who took the pass, and showed incredible patience and judgment, holding the ball until the keeper committed, and then sending a slicing shot right past him, bringing the score to 3-1. Trevor followed that with two great defensive plays, and in the 23d minute, Jonathan took another good pass from JP and got off a great shot, but the goalie was just able to push it over the crossbar. Warren's shot in the 25th minute missed high, and Eliot made a great saving kick a couple of minutes later. Quinn had a wonderful effort on a long offensive run, and then in the 30th minute set up Jonathan on another good run, but the shot was wide. Right after that Warren made a good crossing pass, but the goalie once again saved another shot. In the 32d minute Quinn put up another super corner kick, and Jonathan's header seemed destined for a score, but once again the Darlington keeper saved it. As the first half drew to a close, the offense kept the pressure on, with several shots coming close by Quinn, Ryun and JP.

The second half opened like the first, with Jeremy making a good save in the 2d minute. Following some good offense by Quinn and Eliot, Jeremy had to come way out to make a great save in the 5th minute. Quinn took the ball down the field and made a great crossing pass to JP who came very close to adding another Grady goal. Following that, JP, Quinn and Lukas showed great teamwork in an impressive offensive run. In the 9th minute Quinn got off a great shot, but an equally great save by the Darlington goalie saved it. Ryun made another wonderful corner kick and JP's header was just barely saved by their busy keeper. Trevor made a fine stop on the ensuing play, and Eli had a great steal in the 11th minute. Three minutes later, Eli and Ryun put on a great passing show on an offensive charge, with wonderful drops and pinpoint placements. Jeremy saved another Darlington shot in the 15th minute and shortly after that Quinn had a wonderful chip shot just miss on a good save by their keeper. In the 27th minute Eliot, Trevor and Ishma had a great charge, and then Trevor made a great sliding tackle to thwart a Darlington charge. Jeremy made a great save on the resulting corner kick, with Trevor and Jay Hern following with good defensive saves. Jesse had a beautiful takeaway in the 21st minute, but their offense kept coming. Jeremy was up to the task, though, making a good save in the 22d minute, and then coming way out to make a diving save, smothering the ball just as a Darlington player was about to shoot it in. In the 25th minute Quinn made a great pass to JP, whose header just missed. Two minutes later, after a good stop by Jay, Eliot made one of the prettiest passes of the game to Eli, whose header just barely missed. In the 30th minute, Jesse, who was all over the field all night long, made another spectacular pass over several defenders, placing it perfectly to Ishma, who lofted a terrific shot over the goalie, to make it 4-1, Grady. After that play, one of the team's most loyal fans was heard to say, "That Jesse is just putting on a wonderful display of athleticism!" (Syd, did it get it right?) In the 32d minute, one of the Darlington players was caught with his hand on the ball in the box, and Ryun sent the PK past the frustrated Darlington keeper, to close out the scoring at 5-1. For the rest of the game, Grady kept up its offensive pressure, with great play from Eli, Ryun, Quinn and Jesse contributing some good defensive stops. Another good sign for the future of the team was the solid play from Lukas in the last 10 minutes of the game. Quinn kept firing shot after shot in the waning minutes, with his last shot at the buzzer saved by their keeper.

Although this was not a region game, it was great to post another victory against a strong team. The cold weather and some physical play resulted in several Grady players being banged up by the end, especially Jonathan, having to sit out the second half with an ankle injury. He assured me after the game that he would be ready for tonight's big game, however, and it will be big. Weslyan, whose team has improved with each year, comes to Grady at 5:00 and we want the stands to be full to cheer the guys on to another victory!!^2001-04-18^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack Senterfitt^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt
0052vS^Varsity Boys Soccer: What a Wonderful Wednesday over Weslyan, 4-2!!

Well folks, we knew the Weslyan game would be big, and this one was a jewel! This was a night that saw many, many wonderful plays on both ends of the field--Grady's offense was spectacular, particularly in the second half, and but for an unbelievably great game by the Weslyan keeper, the margin of victory would have been a lot bigger. And the Knights defense, though allowing two goals in the first half, closed ranks for the rest of the game and shut the Wolves down completely.

The first half opened with Grady looking a little flagged from playing just the day before, and the Wolves looked like they were going to dominate early. Jeremy got to work early on, with a great save in the 4th minute, followed by another one a minute later. Less than a minute after that, however, Weslyan put together a great play off a corner kick with an unmarked forward putting a neat shot into the corner of the net. But, unlike sometimes in the past, Grady did not get overcome by the opponents scoring the first goal. In the 6th minute, the Knights came roaring back, with Warren scoring off a great feed from Quinn. Jonathan then put on some pressure with a shot in the 7th minute, missing just wide. Warren got loose a minute later and it looked like he was going to chalk up another goal, but his shot missed high. Taylor had a great defensive stop, and in the 10th minute Ryun and Jonathan teamed up for a terrific charge, ending with a great shot by Jonathan, and an equally great save by their keeper. On the ensuing corner, Ryun put up another wonderfully placed ball, but Warren's header was saved by the goalie. In the 11th minute, Jeremy had a good save, and Eliot and Ryun had several really outstanding defensive plays. In the 13th minute, though, Weslyan again executed a fine cross, with a shot just sneaking past Jeremy to make it 2-1 for the Wolves. For the next five minutes, it was a defensive show by the Knights, with Jesse, Taylor, Jonathan and Trevor all making great plays to hold off the attack. Jeremy had a good save inthe 18th minute, and JP made a valiant effort on a shot a minute later. Eli, Taylor and Trevor continued their outstanding defensive play, as Weslyan seemed to dominate the action with a very good spread offense, and great passing. Jeremy had to make several more saves over the next few minutes, and then, in the 28th minute JP had a throw in near the goal that looked more like a corner kick, with Quinn making a great effort with a header that just missed high. Warren had a good shot inthe 30th minute, but the wind seemed to blow it off course. Jeremy followed with a good save, and a fine stop by JP. Warren had another good shot just miss in the 33d minute, and Ryun had a hard shot saved a minute later. Jesse had a really tremendous save in the 35th minute, and as the half wound down, Warren, Ryun, JP, Jonathan and Quinn all began to pick up the offensive pace with good, solid plays. Overall, Weslyan looked quite formidable for the half, and played a very strong offensive game.

The second half was quite a different story, however, as the Knights had the wind advantage, and boy did our offense begin to shine. We had some of the best ball control passing attacks that we've seen all season, and began to play with much more confidence, aggression and consistency. Eliot had a great lofting shot in the 5th minute, but the goalie saved it. A minute later, however, Weslyan committed a foul inside the box and set up a PK for the Knights. With the way their goalie was playing, though, it looked like he might have a chance--NOT! Quinn made a perfect placement into the corner of the net to tie the score at 2 all. Warren and Jonathan then teamed up for a good run, and in the 10th minute Eliot had a superb save to halt a Weslyan attack. Eliot set up a great charge, with great passing from Warren to Quinn to Jonathan, whose shot was saved in another great effort by the Wolves' keeper. A minute later, however, the keeper was not so fortunate, as Warren made a great run and fired a terrific shot deep into the net--Grady, 3-2. In the next several minutes, Grady sent one offensive charge after another, with their keeper making spectacular save after spectacular save: Warren to Quinn, shot, saved; Quinn to Jonathan, shot, saved; JP good shot, saved; Warren, good shot, saved; Jonathan to JP, great shot, great save by the keepr coming way out. Quinn then turned in a great defensive stop in the 23d minute, and Eliot made an unbelievable sliding tackle to stop another Weslyan charge. In the 25th minute, Grady's offense, now moving efficiently and intelligently, with outstanding passes and great anticipation, scored again in a demonstration of how soccer is supposed to be played. JP was off on a hard charging run, but as he was being pressured by a Weslyan fullback, he saw Quinn streaking down the middle and lofted a beautiful pass over the defender, right to Quinn's foot, and Quinn blasted it past the keeper to make it 4-2 for the good guys! On the ensuing kickoff, Grady took it away immediately and headed off again on another great run, this time Ryun to Warren to JP, whose shot came oh-so-close. Taylor made a great stop a minute later, passed it to Jonathan, who sent it to JP, whose shot was saved. A minute later it was JP passing to Jonathan, whose shot was just high. In the 10th minute it was Warren to JP, who got off a left footed shot that was just a little high. A minute later it was Jonathan to Quinn to Warren--shot, great save by the Weslyan keeper. Quinn then had a shot blocked, and Ryun followed with another shot in the 33d minute, and once again their keeper made a great save. Ryun took the corner and lofted another perfectly placed kick, Jesse made a diving header that just missed. In the 34th minute Weslyan got off a great shot that looked for all the world like a sure score high into the top of the goal. Jeremy rose to the occasion, however, timing a terrific leap to pull the shot down, about as close as he could come to the plane of the goal without falling into the net. In the 37th minute Warren led JP with another great pass, and JP's shot was just wide.

Everyone agreed that the second half was one of the best halves of soccer the guys have played all year. There was much, much better passing on offensive runs, rather than just a single attacker trying to take it all the way alone; the defense held firm in the face of repeated charges. This was a truly satisfying win for the guys, and a great way to set up for Friday night's regular season finale against Decatur. The Knights go into this game leading the region, and it will truly be a memorable way to end the season. Decatur is always strong, it's Senior Night, and we're coming off a tremedous confidence building victory. The girls lead off the evening and the boys game starts at 8, with senior recognition in between the games. So let's show the team how much we've all appreciated the great soccer they've played and the exciting times they've given us with a great and spirited turnout!! Go Grady!! ^2001-04-19^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Jack Senterfitt^jsenter@mindspring.com^004dXt
00535i^Grady Girls Lose a Good Chance to Catch Paideia- Tie Wesleyan 0-0.

Suffice it to say every team has an off game once in a while. The Lady Knights appeared sluggish from the start in this match. Pressure could not be built up in the midfield because they lost so many balls. Nicole was able to get off several shots and Bridgette did have one cannon shot late in the match that was somehow deflected over the bar.

On the positive side the defense did shut out Wesleyan too, resulting in the 0-0 deadlock through the match and overtime. It is now time to reclaim the fire that has taken the Lady Knights through this season. They have come too far to blow it now. They deserve to go all the way!^2001-04-19^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt

WOW! At one point in the game I turned around and was overwhelmed by the phenomenal turnout. Thanks to all the parents, siblings, neighbors, coaches, friends, church members, teachers, and curious passersby who filled our stadium. The support was greatly appreciated. I've observed Grady women's soccer from its beginning and that was the best attendance -- yet. Thanks for your support. Sorry about the big-game jitters and we hope we'll put on an even better show next time.

Friday night was Senior Night, and the Seniors had hoped to close out the regular season with a win, but, alas, it was not to be. On a beautiful night for soccer, the stands were full, with many folks from Decatur there, as well as many other Grady fans there to celebrate the recognition of the Seniors in all the spring sports.

The game started off with Decatur taking an early shot, which Jeremy saved in the 1st minute. Grady's offense then got started, with JP, Eliot, Warren and Ryun all making good plays in the first 3 or 4 minutes. In the 5th minuteJP made a great feed to Jonathan, who had a great header shot, but it was saved by their goalie. With JP continuing his tough offensive play, Grady kept the ball in Decatur's half for the next several minutes, when Ryun had another good pass to Jonathan, who sent up another header, this time missing just wide. In the 8th minute the Knights had a grat run, with excellent passing and ball movement from Quinn to Ryun to Quinn. In the 12th minute, Jonathan made an outstanding play, and almost converted another opportunity. Quinn had a good defensive stop a minute later and in the 14th minute Jeremy had a great save in the goal. Eli, who had a really outstanding game, made a wonderful stop in the 15th minute, followed quickly by a super takeaway by Ryun. This set up another good Grady offensive run, Warren to Ryun to Quinn. Taylor made the first of many great defensive stops in the 17th minute, leading to another Grady run, this time with JP passing to Eliot, who led Jonathan perfectly to set up a great shot, but an equally great save by the Decatur keeper kept the Knights off the board. Lukas followed a minute later with a good stop, and Eli came across the mouth of the goal to make a wonderful stop in the 19th minute. The offense kept it up with Jonathan and JP making great runs, and in the 20th minute JP had a beautiful shot that just carromed off the crossbar. A minute later Eli had a great steal, and another excellent charge ensued, this time JP to Jonathan to Warren, finishing with an excellent shot, again saved. Jesse had a great interception in the 22d minute, and Lukas followed with a good stop. Decatur had a free kick in the 25th minute, but the Grey Knight wall held. Taylor had a good stop a minute later, followed by a superb steal by Warren, who passed to Ryun who passed to JP as he was streaking toward the goal, but it was just long. In the 27th minute, Warren had a great sliding tackle to strip the ball from a Decatur forward to send the ball to Ryun. Eli had another great stop in the 28th minute, and then in the 30th minute Warren made an excellent pass to JP, who powered a spectacular shot past the Decatur keeper to give Grady a 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, Decatur came right back and tied it a minute later. Lukas continued his good defensive play with a stop inthe 31st minute, and in the 35th minute, Jonathan and Quinn teamed up for another good run, with the keeper having to work to save Quinn's shot. JP also came close on a shot a minute later and then in the 37th minute Jeremy had a great save over the crossbar. As the half came to a close, the Decatur offense kept pressing, with Lukas, Taylor and Jeremy all making good stops.

In the first minute of the second half, Warren made a wonderful steal and sent a great cross to Jonathan, whose shot was just wide. The Grady offense kept it up, with JP having a good run in the 3d minute, and Lukas making a wonderful throwin near their end, and Warren headed it hard to the net, but the keeper saved it. In the 4th minute, Quinn had two hard shots saved, and Ryun had one shot blocked inside the box. Jeremy had another great save in the 5th minute, and Ryun had a good stop a minute later. In the 10th minute Eli and Jesse combined to make a couple of really wonderful defensive stops, and Decatur came dangerously close to scoring another goal toward the far post, but Eli came up to save it at the last second. Ryun had a great steal in the 12th minute, fed it to Warren, who had a dazzling run and ended with a great shot, but their keeper got to it for the save. In the 14th minute Eliot had a wonderful takeaway, followed quickly by a good stop from Taylor and a good save by jeremy. Over the next few minutesJP, Quinn and Ryun kept up good offensive pressure, with Ryun's shot missing just wide. Aaron Godbey came in in the 18th minute and made a great defensive play. In the 19th minute Quinn had another good shot, just wide. Ryun and Eliot teamed up for a good run a minute later, and in the 12th minute, James Howard came in at forward and sent a booming shot that was just wide. A minute later, Decatur was able to score again, making it 2-1. In the 27th minute Eli had three great defensive stops, and Ryun, Warren and Jonathan put together a wonderful run, but the keeper was able to save Jonathan's shot. In the 30th minute Jesse had a good stop, with Eli doing the same in the 32d minute. Quinn and JP had a good charge int he 33d minute, but JP's shot was blocked. Ryun had a great corner kick in the 34th minute, and for a minute it looked as if Jonathan's header would tie the score, but it was just wide. Time ran out before the Knights could get another score. It was a tough loss, but the Knights have a great attitude as they prepare for the first round of the postseason playoffs. Though at this writing I'm not sure of the time, the first game will be Tuesday against GAC, who we of course beat during the regular season. So let's be sure to fill the stands with cheering fans to support our guys!!

Before signing off, let's take a moment, too, to reflect on a super, super regular season for the Knights, and on all that was signified in the pregame Senior Night presentations. This has been a tremendous regular season for Grady, and this group of Seniors has given great leadership to the whole team. Friday night sparked many memories, especially for many folks who have watched this group from their first days of "swarm ball" midget league play, as they have progressed through the years, maturing into terrific soccer players and wonderful. When you think about how far Grady's soccer program has come in a relatively short period of time, it is truly remarkable. There are too many individuals to thank for all their hard work for so long to help make this program what it is, from coaches, to parents, to booster club volunteers, to siblings and friends. So just a collective salute and congratulations to the Seniors!! Good luck in the playoffs!!^2001-04-21^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Terry Kearns^pthkdym@aol.com^004dXt
0055wY^Grady Girls Close the Season on a Bittersweet Note

The Lady Knights ended the regular season with a solid win against Decatur. It was senior night and it was good to see all the senior starting the match. They all have worked so hard to make the Grady Girls Soccer Team the success it is.

Nicole scored three and Bridgette scored one goal. Coach Bolster played as many players as possible since the match was well in hand early on.

Playoff to Make the Playoffs? I still wonder how the state manages to put practically all the best teams in the state in the same region. We were faced last year with Lovett and Westminster and this year with Pace and Paideia. In fact the majority of the top ten ranked AA teams were from our region!

This play-in to the play-offs began in a rainstorm that only got worse as the match progressed. It soon became apparent that this match would be won by luck more that skill. Thirty minutes into it Pace caught some luck. A long shot from the right side was deflected by Leigh, but it still caught the far post and caromed in. From that point on all Pace needed to do was clear the ball out of the quagmire in front of their goal. Early in the second half they added their second goal when the ball squirted free to an unmarked Pace player who put in from ten yards.

Grady had an excellent chance when Camden centered a ball from the right flank to the six. An unidentified Grady girl headed it down with power but the Pace keeper blocked it. Next, the ball bounced around until Nicole had it at her feet at the six. Unfortunately the wet ball sliced to the right and missed the goal.

Somehow in the midst of this sea of mud the Pace coach became enraged to the point a red card was issued. No one seems to know what caused the fit.

So, one of the best girls soccer teams in the state will miss the playoffs. Still there is much to be proud of. The Lady Knights have posted their best season ever at 14-3-1. The Grady Girls have played team soccer all season long. They play unselfishly and work together for the success of the team.

We will miss all our seniors, Nicole, Emma Kate, Bridgette, Katherine, Jaime and Samantha. Still there is much to look forward to... good things are heard about upcoming players from Inman, JV has several players ready to play, our freshman show great promise, our sophmores will be seasoned veterans and the juniors are ready to lead.

Most of all we will miss Coach Bolster who has given so much of herself to this team. She brought the team and long way and we appreciate it! See you at the banquet! (By the way, Vicki is OK. She was released at Ga. Baptist by the time we got there. A little sore and scraped, but she showed no serious injuries. Let's all be careful on the stadium ramps and in the parking lot!)^2001-04-25^Response to Grady Soccer News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Lamar Lambert^llambert@mail.co.fulton.ga.us^004dXt
0056lU^GAC Stops Varsity Boys 2-0

Well, it just seems like the soccer gods chose not to smile on post season play for the Grey Knights. After a wonderful season leading them into the playoffs, things just didn't click Thursday night. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you, and sometimes it just doesn't pay to go into the woods.

The game started with Taylor making a good stop in the 2d minute, followed by Eli doing the same a minute later. Ryun and Jay both made good steals in the next couple of minutes and Jonathan showed good offensive hustle, but his run was thwarted by the GAC defense. In the 6th minute JP had a great shot from the far corner miss a little wide.

Jeremy stopped a shot right after that and in the 7th minute Grady had its first corner. JP and Jonathan both made a valiant try to convert, but just missed. In the 10th minute Jeremy came out to make a good save, and Ryun had a good sliding tackle to take the ball away from a GAC player in the 13th minute. Lukas made a wonderful throw in near the GAC goal that almost turned into a goal, but their defense held. In the 15th minute Jeremy had a great save, and two minutes later Jonathan had a shot saved by the opposing keeper. Trevor turned in some good defensive play over the next few minutes and Jeremy had another good save in the 18th minute. Lukas followed with a good stop in the 21st minute, and Jonathan got off another shot in the 23d minute, but this was saved as well. Eliot played very aggressive defense and made a great play in the 26th minute. Eli set up a wonderful long pass to JP in the 28th minute, but it travelled a little long. Two minutes later JP had a great steal and fired a shot, but the keeper managed to get to it in time. Ryun, Quinn and Jonathan took off on a good run in the 31st minute and Jonathan had a great cross that came very close. Inn the 37th minute Jeremy had two very good saves. As the first half came to a close, Eli, JP and Ryun made a great offensive challenge, and Jesse had a good defensive stop right at the buzzer.

The second half opened with an incredible offensive blitz by GAC, enabling them to penetrate the Grady defense, and score two quick goals in the opening 3 minutes. After that it was tough sledding, and the Knights just couldn't seem to get untracked, like they have so many times this season. Ishma had a good steal in the 10th minute and Jonathan made a valiant run, but was stopped. Eli and Trevor had great stops in the 13th minute, and JP and Lukas had a good run in the 18th minute. A few minutes later JP and Quinn put on a good charge, but Quinn's shot missed wide.Trevor made a great stop in the 21st minute, and combined with Taylor for another stop int he 23d minute. In the 27th minute Ryun came so close to converting a free kick that just missed. In the 31st minute JP had a shot that again came close, but just missed. Jonathan had a good run in the 36th minute, and just as the game was ending, Ryun made a great pass to Quinn, but the shot missed high.

Needless to say, this was a heartbreaking end to a wonderful season. The pain of loss stings, but let's not lose sight of what a terrific season the Knights have had. We have seen some wonderful soccer this year, with tremendous improvement and maturity displayed throughout, often in the face of very adverse conditions. This is a wonderful, wonderful group of outstanding players, guys who have worked hard and achieved much. Though there will be lots of shoes to fill with so many seniors graduating, this season has also seen great potential from some young players who promise to be the stalwarts in the next several years. Best of luck to all of them as they step up to lead the team next year and beyond, and all our hopes are with you to continue building on the great tradition of Grady Soccer. To all of the fiercely loyal fans who showed up to support the team (and to helpfully offer kind and gracious assistance to the refs on calls they missed!), thanks for the great support for the Knights. And what can you say about this group of seniors, who have given so much over the years. You guys have been terrific, and will be missed and remembered fondly by all. To the entire team, and everyone connected with it, thanks for a heck of a season, a season full of wonderful memories of some of the best soccer ever played, and wonderful camraderie experienced by the fans as well as the players. Congratulations!!

Here is the best information on 2001 Georgia High School Soccer Tournament: http://gsoa.net/n/p It's from the Georgia Soccer Officials Association. It has all of the brackets and they seem to update the scores.

Although Grady High's Nicole DeMoss did not end her high-school career with a state championship, the senior striker managed to do something else quite impressive: Score more than 30 goals.

DeMoss, the AJC's CityLife/North Fulton Girls Soccer Player of the Year, knocked in 33 goals and made five assists as her team's co-captain. Grady's coach Riki Bolster said DeMoss is as quick with the books as she is on the soccer field.

"She could do math, she could do literature," Bolster said. "She just has a quick mind that absorbs a lot of info and that is able to access it like a computer."

Led by DeMoss' dominating presence, Grady (15-3-1) was ranked in the top three of Class AA/A for most of the regular season. But competing in one of the toughest regions in the state, the Grey Knights fell to state finalist Pace Academy and eventual Class AA/A champ Paideia in the Area 5-AA tournament.

"She's always been a standout," Bolster said. "But I think in the last year and half, she's become a team player and brought other players along. She plays soccer with a natural feel and the flow for the game and knows where she needs to be and where the ball needs to be. And (learning from) her play, other players have caught on to that."

004pH0^Grady Varsity Baseball Team Crushes Paideia - 13 to 3 on March 16, 2001 at Paideia

The Grady baseball team went into its first region game on a three game winning streak. The Knights routed the Paideia team led by senior pitchers Robbie Bragnell and Billy Campbell. Matt Scofield made his second start of the season and pitched a danny. Scofield gave up only four hits and three earned runs. He struck out 6 batters including three to end the game at the bottom of the fifth inning.

Grady's offense exploded starting in the first inning. The Knights scored three runs on three hits and two walks. The first hit by catcher Todd Fuller was a one out single advancing to third base second baseman Matt Monroe who had walked and stolen second base. Subsequent single by first baseman Patrick Johnson scored Monroe and Fuller advanced to third. After a walk to rightfielder Mike Walker, leftfielder Ronnie Millen singled up the third base line driving in Fuller and Johnson. In the bottom half inning, following a walk to the initial batter, Paideia had two ground outs and a strike out, leaving the leadoff hitter stranded at third base.

The second inning saw four Grady players come to bat with Monroe singling. After stealing second, Monroe was stranded on second base. Paideia finished the inning with three up and three down including one strike out and a fly to left field being caught by Ronnie Millen.

Then in the third inning, sophomore Mike Walker hit the first homerun for the Knights this season with a solo shot over the left field fence. Walker put the Knights ahead four to nothing. In the bottom of the third, Scofield ran into some trouble and as a result gave up a three run homerun to Billy Campbell providing Paideia's only runs of the game. A rally was diverted at the start of the inning by a great catch by shortstop Anthony Devingo and a running catch on a fly by centerfielder West Chambless. A subsequent walk and single preceded Campbell's homerun. The inning ended with a hit to center field and the runner being thrown out by Chambless at second. Second baseman Matt Monroe made a great tag for the put out.

The scoring continued in the top of the fourth with Scofield leading off with a single. With the Knights having two outs, shortstop Anthony Devingo also singled. Catcher Todd Fuller was then walked and first baseman Patrick Johnson smashed a grandslam homerun over the left center field fence. The top half of the inning ended with Grady leading 8 to 3. Paideia went three up and three down with one strike out, one ground out to second and a fly out to centerfield.

The Knights scored five more runs in the top of the fifth. Millen singled through third, Chambless walked, Scofield advanced the runners with a bunt. An error by the pitcher on fielding the bunt allowed Scofield to be safe at first. For the pitcher a pinch runner was put in - Shmane Collier. Millen scored on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Anthony London. Chambless stole third and Collier stole second. Devingo reached first on an error on the first baseman and Chambless and Collier scored. Fuller walked and then Johnson's triple scored Devingo and Fuller. Johnson was thrown out at home following a wild pitch. Paideia came to bat for the final time and was able to produce only one walk and the other three batters struck out to end the inning and the game.

The victory marked a dominating performance by Grady's hitting, pitching and fielding.^2001-03-18^Response to Grady Baseball News 2001^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Edith Waller^wallerec@aol.com^004dY1
004pLS^Grady Varsity Baseball Team Loses in the Finals of the Atlanta Invitational Tournament to Mays High School - 4 to 2 on March 17, 2001 at South Atlanta

The Grady varsity baseball team went into the finals of the Atlanta Invitational Tournament with an overall record of 5-0, 4-0 for the tournament. The Knights were coming off a complete rout of Paideia the previous day and the hope was that with Patrick Johnson being the Grady pitcher on St. Patrick's Day, luck would be with Grady.

With a flip of the coin, it was decided that Grady would be the home team. The first inning went quickly. For Mays, the first batter made it to first base after beating-out a slow grounder to shortstop Anthony Devingo. He was subsequently thrown out while trying to steal second base by a terrifc throw from catcher Todd Fuller to Devingo. The next two batters were retired, one of them a strike out.

In the bottom of the first, following a fly out to left field by second baseman Matt Monroe, Devingo was walked and then Fuller got the first hit of the inning when he took a curve ball and hit it solidly to left field. The inning ended with a grounder to the shortstop by right fielder Mike Walker producing a forced out at second.

In the second inning, Grady's defense started the inning well with Walker making a leaping catch in right field for the first out. A strike out and an easily handled grounder to the second baseman Matt Monroe who threw over to first baseman Bryon Dumas resulted in the subsequent outs for Mays. In the bottom of the inning, the Grady Knights had three players come to the plate, only to be retired. At the end of the second inning there were 0 runs for both teams and only 1 hit for Grady.

Patrick continued his strong pitching facing only four Mays players during the third inning. He struck out, walked and struck out the first three batters. The fourth batter hit an infield fly that was caught by Devingo to retire the side. For Grady, the hits remained scarce. Only three batters came to the plate and were put out by two pop flies and one strike out. Mays' pitcher used a good mix of curveballs and fastballs to keep Grady batters off balance.

As the weather got cooler and the fans huddled under blankets and sleeping bags, the fourth inning began. Mays had its first hit of the game during this inning with a solid double up the center. Two errors by Grady during the inning resulted in Mays getting its first two runs of the game. Johnson struck out the last two batters of the inning. Grady retaliated in the bottom of the inning to earn its first run of the game. The first two batters, Fuller and Johnson were walked. Bobby McClain was put in as a pinch runner for Johnson. Fuller stole second and then on a wild throw to second he advanced to third. Then Mays tried to trick play, faking a throw to second base as mcClain was stealing second. Fuller seeing what he thought was an opportunity to score from third, started for home, but discovered that the throw instead was coming home. It was too late to turn back and Fuller attempted to score with a hard slide to overpower the catcher. The catcher held on to the ball for the out. Fuller was also thrown out of the game on this play due to having his arms up as he ran into the catcher. Grady had its second hit of the game with a long single to left field by right fielder Mike Walker. With left fielder Ronnie Millen drawing a walk the bases were loaded. Then third baseman Matt Scofield took one for the team and was advanced to first when hit by the pitch. This walk advanced the runners and Grady had its first run of the game. A subsequent strikeout ended the inning.

In the fifth inning, Matt Monroe took over as catcher and Matt Pritchett was put in at second base. Anthony London was in as first baseman. The first Mays batter was walked and then stole second and on a wild pitch avanced to third base. The next batter had a hit to our shortstop, who made a good throw home, but the runner slid under the throw and was safe. Two strike-outs and a grounder to the pitcher resulting in a put out at first ended the top half of the inning. Grady began the bottom of the fifth with the top of its batting order. Matt Monroe hung in at bat and drew a walk. Following Monroe's at bat, a new pitcher was put in for Mays. Devingo was the first batter to face the new pitcher and produced a hit off of the pitcher with a short Texas leaguer fly to centerfield. Johnson drew a walk and the bases were loaded. Bobby McClain was put in for Johnson as a pinch runner. Walker hit a sacrifice fly to right field and the runners tagged up. Monroe scored for Grady's second run of the game. A strike out earlier in the inning and a grounder to the shortstop after the run who tagged the second base runner ended the inning.

Since this was an early afternoon game, all seven innings were played. Mays started the sixth inning off with a double into right field just inside the baseline. This hit was followed by a strike out and then a sacrifice fly was caught by center fielder West Chambless who immediately threw home. The runner beat the throw home making it 4 to 2 in favor of Mays. The top of the inning ended with another strike out by Johnson. The Knights started the bottom of the inning with a single up the middle by Chambless. This hit was followed by a fly-out to center field, a fielder's choice out at first and a strike out to retire the inning.

Patrick Johnson completed the game by finishing the top of the seventh inning with no hits, one error on a bad bounce at second base and no runs. He ended the Mays turn at bat with a strike out. The Grady Knights were not able to rally though in the seventh inning and went three up and three down to end the game losing to Mays 4 to 2.

The team was presented with the seond place trophy for the tournament. The closely matched game with solid pitching well represented the two best teams in the City of Atlanta. Grady will continue their season with their next game at their home field behind Price Middle School against Pace Academy on Monday, March 19th starting at 4:30pm.

004sHf^ Grady Knights Lose a Close One at Decatur on March 23, 2001

In a seven inning slugfest, the Grady Knights fell to the Decatur Bulldogs by a score of 12 to 9. The well matched contest involved solid hitting on both sides, marred only by instances of poor fielding. For visiting Grady, the game started off right with a three run first inning. A pair of singles from Anthony Devingo and Todd Fuller scored Matt Monroe who had reached base on an error. Patrick Johnson followed with a hit to right field aided by a difficult sun angle that kept the Decatur right fielder from picking up sight of the ball.

In Decatur’s half of the first, the Bulldogs came roaring back to score three runs on two hits and a pair of walks. The first Decatur runner scored on a fielders-choice play also resulting in the first out. The second out also came on a fielders-choice scoring the second run. Grady pitcher, Patrick Johnson was then victimized by a clutch hit that scored Decatur’s final run. The inning ended as catcher Todd Fuller nailed the Decatur runner attempting to steal second.

The second inning saw Grady start the inning with a walk to Matt Scofield, a single by Anthony London, followed by a classic sacrifice bunt from Matt Monroe. This was the only offense for the Knights who failed to score. Confusion on the bases resulted in a double play fly-out to center field with a Grady runner tagged out at second trying to tag-up and run.

In the bottom of the second, clutch pitching by Patrick in striking out the final two batters stranded a Decatur base runner. Again, Patrick was helped by catcher Todd Fuller. Todd threw out a Decatur base runner trying to steal second. This runner had just reached base on an error. Matt Monroe’s tag of the base runner following Todd’s throw took Decatur out of a potential big inning.

Grady went back on top in the top of the third inning, scoring three runs. Todd Fuller gained second on two Decatur errors and reached third on a wild pitch. Patrick brought Todd home on a single. After left fielder Ronnie Millen was hit by a pitch, West Chambless drove Partrick in with a double to center field. With Millen on third and Chambless on second, Matt Scofield put the ball in play. Scofield’s grounder to third scored Millen on the fielder’s choice. Chambless was stranded at third, but the Knights had picked up three runs.

Decatur came roaring back with three straight hits, the last of which was a double that scored two runs. A second base runner was added when hit by a Johnson pitch. Two fielder’s-choice outs produced a third run for Decatur with the fourth and final run of this half inning driven home by a triple. Patrick coaxed a grounder to strand the last Decatur runner on third.

In their half of fourth inning, Grady again tied the score. Following Matt Monroe’s lead-off walk and two fielder’s choice outs that advanced Matt to third, Patrick Johnson’s sharp hit hand-cuffed the short-stop allowing Monroe to score. A subsequent hit by Mike Walker moved Patrick to third, but Grady was unable to bring him home.

Decatur went back on top in the bottom of the fourth with a walk followed by two singles to load the bases. Following a fly-out by the first batter, the next Decatur batter drove in their eighth run. Matt Scofield came on in relief of Patrick and promptly shut down Decatur with two clutch strike-outs.

Trailing 8-7, Grady fought back in the top of the fifth. West was walked and promptly drew a wild throw over from a pitcher now mindful of Grady’s propensity to steal. This error allowed West to take to second. Matt Scofield gained first on another Decatur fielding error, moving West over to third. Anthony London’s sharp single past the shortstop scored West and advanced Matt to third. Matt Monroe then drove Scofield home with a sacrifice fly. Anthony Devingo reached first on an error and Todd Fuller then reached on a fielder’s choice, Decatur electing to take out Devingo at second. Todd stole second, but a pop-up to the shortstop ended the inning. Grady had retaken the lead 9-8.

Decatur answered with four runs in their half of the fifth. The first Decatur batter crunched a hanging curve ball over the left field fence to start the comeback. Following a strike-out, runners were placed on base with a hit-by-pitch and walk. These runners were scored on a double to center field. This third Bulldog runner then scored from second on a tough Grady error with the batter advancing to third. A sacrifice fly to left field then scored the fourth and final run of the inning.

In the Grady sixth, two strike-outs were followed by a West Chambless walk. On Matt Scofield’s base hit, West was thrown out trying to reach third. No Grady runs resulted.

Decatur was put down in order in the bottom half on strong pitching by Scofield.

Grady’s final at bat looked promising as Anthony London drew a walk. Matt Monroe’s fly to the second baseman was dropped, but London, holding at first, was forced out at second. Matt was subsequently caught stealing second on a great throw from Decatur catcher, Matt Wilson. Anthony Devingo kept Grady hopes alive with a hit to right field. Todd Fuller then produced another hit to right center sending Anthony to third. There the inning ended

The tough loss to Decatur came in a game either team could have won. This loss marked Grady’s first Region loss of the season. Grady’s record now stands at 6 wins and 2 losses.

004sHl^ Grady falls to Dunwoody at Emory on March 24, 2001

In a Saturday morning game played on the Emory University field, the Grady Knights showed the effects of playing on three straight days. Before it was over, the Knights dropped their third game of the season by a convincing 14-4 score. Ironically, Grady seemed evenly matched with the Dunwoody team, but on this day, everything worked to the opponent’s advantage.

The day started off right for Grady with a one-out base hit by Anthony Devingo followed by a walk to Todd Fuller. Patrick Johnson reached on a fielder’s choice placing runners on first and third with two outs. West Chambless then doubled to right field scoring Anthony and Patrick. West stole third, setting up the opportunity to come home on a wild pitch by the Dunwoody pitcher. The Grady half of the first inning ended with the Knights up 3-0.

In the bottom of the first, Dunwoody took advantage of a lead-off walk from Knights’ pitcher Todd Fuller followed by two hits to place their first run on the board. Todd retired the next three batters, stranding two Dunwoody runners.

The second inning saw Grady go down in order. In their half of the inning, Dunwoody erupted for five runs on three hits and one Grady error. A lead-off single to center field was followed by a hit batsman and a walk. A sacrifice fly brought a run home. Two more runs scored on a Texas league bloop hit to right center. The sixth Dunwoody batter of the inning also singled, driving in two runs. Two base on balls loaded the bases, but determined pitching by Todd Fuller retired the side. At the end of two innings, Grady trailed six to three.

This third inning saw Grady score after two outs had occurred. Todd Fuller had an infield single and advanced to second when the Dunwoody pitcher balked. First-basement Patrick Johnson’s single to right field scored Todd. There the Grady half of the inning ended with the Knights trailing by only two runs. In their half of the third, Dunwoody erupted for four more runs on three hits and one Grady error.

Grady was again retired in order in the top of the fourth inning as Dunwoody’s pitcher settled down. Dunwoody added to their lead with a three-run inning. Capitalizing on three hits and two Grady errors, Dunwoody had built their lead to 12-4. At this point, Coach Ronnie Millen brought in center fielder West Chambless to pitch. After a single to center field that scored Dunwoody’s third run, Chambless coaxed the final batter of the inning into a ground ball to Anthony Devingo who tossed to Matt Monroe for the forced third out.

In the fifth inning, Grady’s offense continued to struggle, but for a base hit by Anthony Devingo. Dunwoody met a similar fate in their half of the inning with one hit and one walk marking the only offensive production. Grady chalked-up it’s only strike out of the game to retire Dunwoody.

The sixth inning proved to be the final inning. Again, Grady was unable to generate offense following a hit by lead-off batter Todd Fuller. Two walks provided potential scoring opportunities, but solid fielding on ground balls helped retire the side for Dunwoody. Dunwoody needed only one run to end the game under the 10 run rule. This run came with the help of a lead-off walk and three Grady errors.

004tMZ^ Grady’s Varsity Baseball Team Defeats the Crim Eagles 7 to 1 on March 26, 2001 at Price Middle School

The Grady Knights met the Crim Eagles for their first match up since facing them during the Atlanta Invitational Tournament. The Grady Knights were led by pitcher Matt Scofield in a five inning rout of Crim. Scofield faced only three batters in four of the five innings that were played. He had six strikeouts with three of these coming in the top of the fifth inning to retire the side and end the game.

In the top of the first inning, with a strike out and two grounders that were easily handled by second baseman Matt Monroe to first baseman Patrick Johnson, the Crim Eagles were retired.

Matt Monroe started the bottom of the first inning by taking first base after being hit by a pitch. Shortstop Anthony Devingo followed with a triple to left field scoring Monroe and the Grady Knights were on the board. The next hit was a single by Patrick Johnson scoring Devingo. At the end of the first inning, Grady was leading 2 to 0.

In the top of the second inning, two Crim batters were walked but Grady got out of the inning with a strike out and two fly outs of which one was an infield fly rule out. Crim did succeed in scoring one runner during the inning.

The bottom of the second inning started off with a solid hit up the center by third baseman Anthony London. Two errors by Crim’s shortstop and a single past the short stop by catcher Todd Fuller resulted in Grady earning 3 more runs such that at the bottom of the second inning, Grady remained ahead with a score of 5 to 1.

The third inning for Crim was short and sweet. A strike out and a throw by the third baseman to the first base man resulted in two outs. Crim then hit a single past the short stop but was subsequently thrown out with a great throw by Fuller to Devingo to tag the base runner out as he was attempting to steal second base.

Grady was able to manufacture two runs in the bottom of the third inning by Monroe getting on base with a walk and immediately stealing second base. Devingo then followed with a single scoring Monroe. The Crim pitcher balked advancing Devingo and with a single past the shortstop being hit by Fuller, Devingo scored. The inning ended with Grady still leading with a score of 7 to 1.

Crim’s fourth inning saw three batters at the plate. They were out by a throw from the pitcher to first baseman, a called strike out and a throw from third baseman to first baseman. Grady was not able to earn any runs during their last at bat. We had runners on base by an error by the short stop and by a walk but no run materialized. The score remained 7 to 1.

The top of the fifth inning was Crim’s last at bat. Three batters came to the plate and Matt Scofield calmly and quickly retired the side with three strikeouts.

004ylO^ Grady Knights Defeat Holy Innocents Golden Bears 4 –1 on March 28, 2001 at Price Field

Patrick Johnson pitched another gem as the Grady Knights defeated the Holy Innocents Golden Bears 4 – 1. The game played the Wednesday before Spring Break in a slight drizzle was close until the Knights put a three spot on the board in the bottom of the sixth to put the Bears away for good.

The game started off slowly with Patrick striking out two batters in each of the first two innings. The third out in the first inning was made on a diving catch by Bobby McClain in centerfield.

The Knights went one, two, three in the first, second and third innings. Left fielder Ronnie Millen ripped a single through the left side of the infield but was then picked off to end the second inning.

Johnson had a part in making all three outs in the third inning, striking out one and fielding two grounders with an easy toss to first baseman Mike Walker.

The Golden Bears struck first scoring a run in the top of the fourth. The Bear’s pitcher led off the inning with a triple and later scored on a ground out to the right side.

The Knights came right back and tied the score with two singles by second baseman Matt Monroe and shortstop Anthony Devingo. Monroe scored on Devingo’s hit.

Johnson left the game in the hands of the Knights offense as he shut down Holy Innocents’ batters, striking out four of the final eleven batters and did not allow any more runs.

In the bottom of the fifth, third baseman Anthony London was stranded on base after reaching on a single to leftfield. Matt Monroe started off the bottom of the sixth with a single. Devingo advanced Matt to second on a sacrifice bunt. Todd walked on four straight pitches and on a one and 0 count, Patrick crushed a fast ball deep into right field. He pulled up at third with a bases clearing triple. Matt Pritchett came in as a courtesy runner for PJ and he scored on Mike Walker’s single to right center field. Mike reached second on a wild pitch. After the second out was made, right fielder West Chambless hit a fastball that was headed for centerfield but struck the field umpire on his thigh. Chambless made it to first with a single and Walker advanced to third but was unable to score as the ball did not leave the infield.

In the end, the Knights were victorious overcoming bad officiating and a tough Holy Innocents team to go into spring break on a two game winning streak.

0050ZP^ Grady Knights Lose to Pace Knights 0 to 5 at Pace on April 9th

On the first school day following Spring Break, the Grady Varsity Knights faced the Pace Knights for a baseball game at Pace Academy. Grady struggled to settle into their game. It was obvious the Gray Knights were a bit rusty from a week off and it showed in the fact that Grady had 6 errors which proved costly. Seven innings were played and at the end the Pace Knights conquered the Grady Knights 5 to 0.

In the first three innings, Grady batters went down one, two three with six of these outs being strike outs. In the first inning, Pace had one hit but this batter was thrown out at second as he was trying to steal. Pace got their first run of the game when a player reached base on balls and then due to errors committed by Grady, made it home. In the second inning, Pace went down one, two, three with two of these being strikeouts. In the third inning, Pace gained two more runs off of a single, a double and a single. At the end of the third inning it was Pace 3 and Grady 0.

In the fourth inning, Grady got their first hits of the game with second baseman Matt Monroe hitting a single to left field. Shortstop Anthony Devingo followed him with a single to left field. But these two hits were followed by two strike outs and a fielder’s choice to retire the side leaving two Grady players on base. Errors plagued Grady again in the fourth inning with two more being committed and Pace gained another run without producing a hit.

Grady Knights went down quickly in the fifth inning with a fly out to left field and two strikeouts. One player was left on base having reached it on balls. For the sixth and seventh innings, Grady went one, two, three. One statistic of this game indicates the ability of the Pace pitcher. He faced twenty-four of our batters and fourteen of these batters struck out.

In the fifth inning, Pace had a single but no additional runs were accumulated. In the sixth inning, Pace earned one more run when a triple scored a player who had reached base on a fielder’s choice. Pitcher Patrick Johnson saved another run from scoring when he, unassisted, fielded a ground ball and caught a runner on second in a run-down as he tried to reach third.

0050ZS^ Grady Knights Squeak Past Therrell 9 to 8 on April 10th at Price

The Grady Knights were ready to play baseball on a beautiful spring day at the Price field. The game against Pace the previous day had been a difficult game and Grady was looking forward to this game. Seven innings were played with the varsity Knights going into the bottom of the seventh inning down 8 to 3. A weary Therrell pitcher, who had been pitching the entire game, and errors made by their third baseman contributed to Grady pulling this game out of the ditch and winning 8 to 9.

Matt Scofield was the pitcher for the game. In the first two innings, Scofield walked the first batter followed by a single by the second batter and then he retired the next six batters with five of them striking out.

In the first inning for Grady, the batters went down one, two, three. In the second inning, right fielder Mike Walker got on base with balls and then by a wild pitch and a fielder’s choice he made it to third base.

In the third inning, Therrell produced its first hits of the game, two singles and then a home run resulted in Therrell pulling ahead of Grady at the top of the third 1 to 3. For Grady the top of the order came to bat in the third and catcher Todd Fuller led off with a single to right field but he was subsequently thrown out trying to steal second. Second baseman Matt Monroe reached base on balls and through wild pitches was able to make it to third base. He was in position to score when first baseman Patrick Johnson hit a single. At the end of the third inning Grady was still behind 2 to 3.

In the fourth inning, Therrell’s first two batters struck out. A single followed and then the fourth batter reached base due to an error on Grady’s part which also resulted in a run scoring for Therrell. An unusual out was called on Therrell during this inning. The player that had reached base on Grady’s error had made it all the way to third base. He apparently took off his batting helmet before the play was considered over and this resulted in the third out for Therrell. For Grady even though two batters made it on base, one on an error and one being hit by a pitch, a run was not created and so at the end of the fourth, Grady was still trailing 2 to 4.

For Therrell the fifth inning was short with only three batters coming to the plate. One batter hit a triple but then was thrown out at the base during the game. For Grady, Patrick Johnson hit a single and subsequently scored on a single to left field by Chambless resulting in the score at the end of the fifth being 3 to 4.

Therrell began the sixth inning with a double followed by a sacrifice bunt and then a single resulting in another run added to Therrell’s total. Two subsequent strikeouts retired the side.

The last inning began with Matt Scofield continuing to pitch. The second batter reach base being hit by a pitch and the third batter reached base on a fielder’s choice. Then the next Therrell batter brought these two players home with a triple to right field. A single followed bring the triple hitter home. West Chambless came in as relief pitcher for the last batter of the inning. Grady went into the bottom of the seventh inning behind by 5 runs. Therrell’s pitcher had been pitching the entire game and was definitely beginning to lose steam. Mike Walker led off reaching base being hit by a pitch. Left fielder Ronnie Millen followed suit reaching base on balls. West Chambless then reached base following an error by the third baseman. The bases were loaded and then third baseman Anthony London drew a walk resulting in a run being walked in for Grady. Matt Scofield reached base on an error by the third baseman resulting in Millen making it home. Todd Fuller reached base on a fielder’s choice and Chambless made it home. Grady had now accumulated three runs so far in the inning. Matt Monroe hit a double scoring two more runs and then Anthony Devingo had a fielder’s choice resulting in Monroe scoring for the winning run. Grady had been able to manufacture 6 runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat Therrell 9 to 8.

West Chambless reached base on a single and then left fielder Ronnie Millen singled scoring Walker and Chambless. In the top of the third inning, Grady took the lead 5 to 3.

For Avondale, the first inning was their highlight. They were able to score three runners, one due to an error committed by Grady and two on the only hit of the inning which was a single between first and second. In the second inning, Avondale’s batters went down one, two, three. During the third inning, Avondale obtained its last run of the game when a player that had reached base on a single, the only hit of the inning, advanced around the bases and then stole home. At the bottom of the third inning, it was 5 to 4 with Grady in the lead.

The fourth inning was another big inning for Grady. Second baseman Todd Fuller started the inning off with a triple to right field. Devingo singled between first and second scoring Fuller. Johnson reached base on balls and then Chambless tripled scoring Devingo and Johnson. Subsequently Millen singled scoring Chambless and the Knights ended the top of the inning with 9 runs.

For Avondale, in the fourth and fifth inning their batters went down one, two, three. In the sixth inning, four batters game to the plate with one hitting a double to right field but nothing materialized and so at the bottom of the sixth inning the score was Grady 9 and Avondale 4.

0052vm^ Grady Varsity Continues Its Winning Strike Beating Crim 12 to 2 on April 16, 2001

Due to field problems the Grady Varsity baseball game scheduled to be played at Crim was played at the Price Field on April 16th.

0054NU^ Paideia Unable to Break Grady Home Win-Streak

Another episode of the on-going rivalry with Paideia was played-out at Price Field on a beautiful April 18th afternoon, with Grady winning 8-5. This hard fought battle saw Grady fall behind in the second inning, come back and surge ahead in the 4th, lose the lead in the top of the 6th as Paideia tied the score, before Grady surged back to establish the winning margin in the bottom of that inning.

Matt Scofield managed to fool the Paideia batters through much of the early going, scattering hits along the way. In the first inning, Paideia was unable to capitalize on two hits. Grady also left two men on in the bottom of the first on a hit by Todd Fuller and a walk to Patrick Johnson. Paideia manufactured a run in the bottom of the first as the lead-off hitter was walked, took second on a stole base, advanced to third on a fielder’s choice and scored on a Grady error. Grady answered in the bottom of the inning. With one out, Anthony London was hit by a pitch, Ronnie Millen reached first on a grounder to the third baseman who elected to take out the lead runner, London at second. Matt Scofield then doubled to bring Millen home and was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple.

In the third inning, after giving up a lead-off walk, Matt Scofield shut down the next three batters, stranding the runner on second. To this point, Matt had garnered one strike-out in each of the first and second innings and two in the third. For its part, Grady went quietly in the third, three-up, three-down. Matt struck out two more Paideia batters in the fourth before coaxing a grounder to shortstop Anthony Devingo to end the inning. This strong top of the inning set the stage for Grady to break out in their half of the inning. Mike Walker led off with a single and stole second. Anthony London’s single brought Mike home. A single by Ronnie Millen and a hard hit grounder by Matt Scofield then scored London. The inning ended but not before Grady had built a 2 to 1 lead..

Paideia answered in the top of the fifth with a single to left field that took a bad hop off the Grady left fielder’s leg and was not run down before the runner had rounded the bases. Nonplused by this situation, Matt Scofield proceeded to retire the rest of the side. On-coming to bat in the bottom of the fifth, Grady struck back. Matt Monore was hit by the first pitch and then stole second during the next batter. A sacrifice bunt by Anthony Devingo moved Matt to third. Matt then scored on a sacrifice fly to Patrick Johnson. With two outs and a run in, Grady was not through. Mike Walker was walked. A single by West Chambless advanced Mike to third . Mike then scored as Paideia tried to catch West stealing second. The Paideia shortstop cut in front of the throw down to second and fired home to get Mike, but was too late. West then advanced to third on the play. Here he was stranded, but not before Grady put two more runs on the board for a 5 to 2 lead.

Paideia would not let up their pursuit. In the top of the sixth, with the lead-off batter put out on an unassisted play by Patrick Johnson and the second batter reaching first on a walk, Paidiea put together a single and a triple to put two runs on the board. After the next batter walked, the third run scored on a double steal with Grady’s throw down to second base coming late. Matt Scofield took this in stride and retired the final two batters, but not before Paideia tied the score 5 to 5. Grady’s took time to adjust in their half of the inning. With two outs, Todd Fuller hit one that never stopped rolling and sped around the bases for a home run. This hit ignited Grady. Matt Monroe and Anthony Devingo hit back to back singles. Patrick walked and Todd and Anthony scored on single by Mike Walker. Here the inning ended, but not before Grady rebuilt a three run lead.

The top of the seventh, Matt set down the first two Paideia batters on strikeouts. After a base on balls to the next batter, Coach Millen elected to bring in Patrick Johnson to face the last batter, Paideia’s clean-up hitter. Patrick threw two ball before the batter grounded to Matt Monroe who threw over to first for the final out.

Grady maintained its winning ways at Price Field, and added an important region game to the win column.

0054NW^Grady Varsity Baseball Falls to Holy Innocents 7 to 1 on April 19, 2001

The Grady Varsity Baseball team had their second game against Holy Innocents this season at the Holy Innocents field. It was a beautiful day for a ballgame and the field was a great field for a baseball game.

0054NY^ Grady Varsity Baseball Smashed Therrell 15 to 6 on April 21, 2001

Another great day for a ball game and the Grady Knights were at the field ready to play. Grady pulled ahead of Therrell 6 to 0 in the third inning and by the sixth inning it was Grady ahead 12 to 3. The game finished with the score 15 to 6. Many players were able to play and it was a great opportunity to gain some varsity experience for some of the younger players.

Grady started off the game with their batters going down one, two three in the first inning. This was also the fate for Therrell’s batters with all three of their first batters striking out behind the pitching of West Chambless.

In the second inning, first baseman Patrick Johnson had a double to left centerfield that just barely missed being a homerun. West Chambless hit a double to left field to bring Johnson in for the first run of the game. For Therrell, their first batter of the second inning had a single followed by a player reaching base on balls. Two batters were struck out and the next batter was walked. With the bases loaded with two outs and a full count on the batter, Chambless threw a curve ball to strike the batter out and retire the side. Grady was leading 1 to 0 at the bottom of the second.

The entire lineup for Grady came to bat during the third inning. Second baseman Matt Scofield led off with a single. Centerfielder Todd Fuller followed with a single. Catcher Matt Monroe was hit by a pitch and then Patrick Johnson drew a walk resulting in Scofield walking home. Right fielder Mike Walker doubled to left field driving home Fuller and Monroe. Chambless reached base on balls and then a sacrifice fly to center field by third baseman Anthony London resulted in Johnson scoring. Left fielder Ronnie Millen reached base on an error by the shortstop which also scored Walker. A miss of third base on the way home by Grady resulted in the third out of the inning. Grady was up 6 to 0. Therrell came to bat and the first batter reached base on balls but was thrown out by a great throw from Monroe to Scofield as the batter was trying to steal second. A strike out and an out at first retired the batters one, two, three.

Grady had two homeruns during the game. The first of these was during the fourth inning and Todd Fuller hit one to left center field. This was all that Grady was able to produce in this inning. The Therrell batters once again went down one, two, three – a strike out, a single which was later thrown out at second and a fielder’s choice which was called out on another great throw from Monroe to Scofield to tag the runner trying to steal second. At the end of the fourth inning, Grady had 7 runs and Therrell had 0.

The fifth inning was a quiet one for Grady. It had three batters up in the inning. There was a pitching change for Grady in the bottom of the fifth inning and freshman Stuart Collins came in for West Chambless. Stuart did a good job in managing the Therrell batters. He faced 6 batters with one hit, one walk and one strikeout. The bases were loaded and Stuart struck out the batter for the last out of the inning.

The sixth inning put 5 more runs on the board for Grady. Anthony London led off with a single to center field. Millen was hit by a pitch. Fuller reached base on a fielder’s choice. Monroe was then walked resulting in London walking home. Therrell decided to change pitchers at this point in the game. Devingo was the first batter to face the new pitcher and he proceeded to hit a grand slam homerun bringing home Millen, Fuller and Monroe. In the top of the sixth inning Grady now had 12 runs. Grady followed suit and made another pitching change with Bryan Dumas coming in for Stuart Collins. There were massive substitutions in the field also. Therrell hit a homerun earning their first run of the game. A single and a walk with errors on Grady’s part resulted in two more runs getting on board for Therrell. At the bottom of six innings, the score was Grady 12 and Therrell 3.

In the seventh inning, third baseman David Edwards reached base on balls and Scofield had a single. Fuller followed suit with a single driving home Edwards. A sacrifice fly by Monroe resulted in Scofield scoring and then a single by Devingo scored Fuller. The Grady Knights now had 15 runs. The top of the order was at bat for Therrell. The first batter made it to base being hit by a pitch. A strikeout followed for the first out. The next batter reached base on balls and the Therrell first baseman had a single resulting in a run scoring. A double by their second baseman scored two more runs. Todd Fuller then came in as relief pitcher with two outs and 2 men on base. He warmed up and then struck out the next batter to end the inning and the game with the score Grady 15 and Therrell 6.

Grady’s record – 11 wins / 4 loses. Region standing remains the same since this was not a region game. The region record is 7 wins and 3 loses.

The next game is a makeup game with Pace that was cancelled in March due to weather. It is to be played at Price Field on Tuesday, April 24th at 4:30pm.

0056Jz^ Pace Knights Beat Grady Knights 3 to 0 on April 25, 2001

The Grady Varsity Baseball team was originally scheduled to play Pace Academy on April 24th but due to weather conditions, the game was cancelled and rescheduled for April 25th at the Price Field. Teams were there on time along with the officials and so the game started at 5pm with two strong pitchers on the mound. Grady was held to two hits and was unable to manufacture a run. Pace was held to four hits and along with a three base error on Grady’s part the results were three runs for them.

Pace started the game off in the first inning with the first two players striking out behind the pitching of Patrick Johnson. The third batter was hit by a pitch but was thrown out at second as he attempted to steal the base. Grady had one of its two hits during the first inning when second baseman Matt Monroe had a single and then made it to second on a wild pitch. But the next two Grady batters struck out and so he was left on base at the end of the inning.

In the second inning, Pace had its first hit – a single between second and third. The next two batters struck out but then the next batter hit a high fly to center field which Grady was not able to catch. This resulted in Pace scoring its first run and this batter reaching third base on the error. The next two Pace batters were walked so that the bases were loaded but Patrick delivered another strike out to retire the side and prevent Pace from scoring any more runs that inning. Grady’s batters were three up, three down in the second inning as were Pace batters in the third inning. For Grady, in the third inning, the first two batters reached base on balls but Grady was not able to take advantage of this opportunity and two men were left on base at the end of the inning.

For the fourth inning, Pace’s first batter struck out followed by a single by their left fielder. This was followed by two groundouts to end the top of the fourth. Grady was not able to produce anything during the fourth inning with its batters going down one, two, three. This pattern continued for Grady in the fifth and sixth inning with only three batters coming to the plate each inning.

Pace’s batters were three up, three down in the fifth inning but then in the sixth inning, their shortstop started off the inning with a triple and subsequently scored on a fielder’s choice. At the bottom of the sixth inning, it was Grady 0 and Pace 2.

In the seventh inning, Pace’s center fielder had a single. He then stole second and advanced to third on a wild throw. Pace then executed very well a sacrificed bunt and the runner on third scored for Pace’s third run of the game. Grady had its second hit of the game during the seventh inning with a single up the third base line by right fielder Mike Walker but nothing materialized and the game concluded with Grady not scoring any runs.

The final score of the game was Grady 0 and Pace 3. Grady has one final game of the regular season scheduled for Thursday, April 26th at 4:30pm at Price field against Decatur. Grady will be playing in the playoffs on Monday, April 30th. It will be an away game.

0056wG^ Decatur Defeats Grady Knights 9 to 2 in Last Regular Season Game

In the last game of the regular season, the Grady Varsity Baseball team met Decatur at Price field on April 26th. Grady started the game off well with the first two Decatur batters striking out on 6 pitches. But Decatur soon found their bats and proceeded to get 9 hits and 9 runs. Grady struggled in the hitting area and only had 3 hits and two runs during the game.

In the first inning, Decatur had a double to center right field. The runner scored on a single by Decatur’s catcher. For Grady, catcher Todd Fuller reached base on balls and was able to score on a single up the center by shortstop Anthony Devingo. Devingo scored on a single by first baseman Patrick Johnson and so at the end of the first inning Grady led Decatur 2 to 1. This was the only lead that Grady would have.

In the second inning, Decatur’s left fielder came to bat and had a single up the third base line. Three wild pitches resulted in him scoring. The next batter reached base on balls and after stealing two bases scored on a Grady error. This resulted in Decatur moving ahead of Grady 3 to 2. Grady’s next three batters went down one, two, three and so at the bottom of the second inning, Decatur was on top 3 to 2. They maintained the lead the rest of the game.

The third inning was tough for Grady with the first Decatur batter striking out but then two batters reached base on balls, one batter reached base being hit by a pitch and then there were two single hits. Decatur scored 2 runs in the inning but Grady pulled together to earn the third out with the bases loaded to prevent any further runs from being scored. Third baseman Anthony London fielded the hit and threw to Patrick Johnson on first base for the third out. For Grady in the third and fourth inning the Knights were not able to produce any hits and so at the end of the fourth inning the score was Decatur 5 and Grady 2.

Decatur added another run to their score in the fifth inning resulting from errors on Grady’s part. During this inning Matt Scofield came in as a relief pitcher for West Chambless who had been pitching for Grady. For Grady, Matt Scofield reached base on an error and made it to third base but Grady was unable to bring him home so that at the end of the fifth inning Decatur had 6 runs and Grady had 2 runs.

The sixth inning saw another error by Grady and single and triple hits by Decatur resulting in 3 more runs being added to Decatur’s score. Grady started off the bottom of the sixth inning with a single by Patrick Johnson up the center. Then right fielder Mike Walker reached base on a fielder’s choice.

The boys finished 3rd overall in the meet behind Crim (53) and Washington/Wilkes (52). Grady (44) was just ahead of Charlton Co. (42). A second place finish in the 4 x 400 relay, the last event, assured the final order of finish. Jeremy Bateman was the leading point man (16) with a 3rd in the 100 (6), second in the 200 (8), and anchor on the relay (2). Jonathan Moore earned 12 points with a first in the 800 and a relay leg. Wil Cramer had 12 points with a fouth in the 1600 (4) and a second in the 3200 (8). Andrew Moore and Robert Owens ran the other two legs on the relay for 2 points each.

If they gave goals for hard-nosed doggedness, Nicole DeMoss would have had at least a hat trick last night. As it was, she had Grady's only goal, a slow roller she somehow pushed past (or through or under) the Lovett keeper by sheer force of will in the 32nd minute of the first half. At the time, it was enough to answer Lovett's early goal and send the game into a tie that lasted for the rest of regulation. In the overtime period, though, the Grady defense committed a couple of unhappy lapses that led to two Lovett goals and put the game out of reach, leaving Grady with a disappointing loss to one of its prime private-school rivals. Still, a match-up that used to be a laugher for Lovett is no free spot on the schedule now: the Grady girls showed that they can take on a quick and physical team like Lovett and stay with them for eighty minutes, even more - and come very, very close to winning.

The Grady side seemed to have a case of nerves at the outset, missing passes and letting Lovett dominate the ball, until the Lions ultimately scored in the 8th minute. After the Lovett goal, though, the Grey Knights settled down and played the kind of graceful and aggressive soccer they've played in seven straight victories this season, keeping up good pressure throughout the game and nswering each Lovett threat with their own attack. After DeMoss's first-half goal, Grady's best second-half scoring chance came when Emmakate Young floated a beautiful free kick across the Lovett goal, only to see it bounce around several players before being cleared. Even when they fell behind in the overtime, Grady repeatedly took the ball to the Lovett end of the field, and Bridgette Ukah displayed her intimidating presence in front of the Lovett defenders. Unfortunately, being close to the goal didn't translate into shots on goal, so the game came down to a series of good runs with no result.

Even in a tough loss, there are bright spots to build on. One of the hallmarks of this year's Grady team has been the almost seamless substitution from a strong bench, a luxury Riki Bolster has never known before. When Morgan Marshall went out early in the game with an injury, for instance, fellow 9th-grader Courtney Lambert filled in superbly at stopper, playing all the rest of the game aggressively and with good sense. Ariel Rosenbaum and Katherine Kearns came in with fresh legs at critical moments in both halves, picking up the Grady offense and pressuring the Lovett defense. For the most part, though, Coach Bolster stuck with her starters against Lovett, eight of whom played the full hundred minutes of regulation and overtime without fading from fatigue or frustration. At the end of the game, all the girls knew they had played a good and courageous game, sometimes suffering the stings and elbows of outrageous fortune, but always coming back with character. Nicole DeMoss may be emblematic of this team's toughness, but happily enough, she's by no means unique. Lovett? Leave it. Get ready for Friday's game against Pike County. Grady Stadium. 5.30. Be there.

Lots of people who live outside the Perimeter don't like to come into Atlanta for fear of what might happen to them in the allegedly dangerous urban environment, especially after sundown. Sure enough, the St. Patrick's Day visitors from Pike County suffered a minor mugging under the bright lights of Grady Stadium Friday evening. They had barely gotten off the team bus before Emmakate Young ripped them off with a goal in the second minute of play, and Bridgette Ukah sent them packing with a 79th-minute see-you-later shot into the net; in between, Sally Powell, Nicole DeMoss, Camden Janney, and Ariel Rosenbaum shook them down for four more goals, leaving a good but outgunned Pike County squad wondering if they might have been safer on the other side of Tenth Street, wandering in the dark of Piedmont Park.

When they were not making aggressive moves against the outsiders, the Grady girls imposed their own version of the Monroe Doctrine (Monroe Drive, that is) in the defensive end of the field, making it clear that they would not tolerate any foreign interference in the goal area. Coach Riki Bolster used her whole bench to send in waves of fresh rotations at all positions, but everyone played so well that the team never let up the pressure or fell into confusion. In fact, the only Grady player who didn't see much action was the keeper, Leigh Auerbach: according to quasi-official scorekeeper Terry Kearns, Lonely Leigh handled the ball only once all evening, and that on a harmless pop-up to the right of the goal. If nothing else, her goalie gloves helped ward off the chill of a surprisingly breezy evening.

Assuming that the new regional alignments don't disrupt this home-and-away series, the Grady girls will have the chance to play in the dirt again at Pike next season. For now, though, they look northward to next Wednesday evening's contest at North Springs, where they have won some challenging games in recent years. Remember, though: that's outside the Perimeter, and you have to be careful when you go there at night.

Before the start of Friday night's Varsity Boys game, the seniors lined up next to the opponents' bench as they prepared to walk across the field and be honored for Senior Night. That was about as close as the visitors from Pike County got to the Grey Knights all evening. The visitors, playing shorthanded, were simply overpowered by the Knights from the opening kickoff. Jean Paul Neall started the scoring 10 minutes into the game with a direct shot into the back of the net. John McBride followed with another score less than three minutes later, and JP scored his second goal of the night in the 17th minute. Trey Carter, the team's leading scorer this season, added the Knights' 4th goal in the 19th minute; right after that, Trey set up another score with a perfect pass to Eliot Pimsler, who angled a rifle shot past the goalie. In the 25th minute, Jesse Orrock lofted a great shot over the head of the keeper into the back of the net. Eliot Pimsler scored his second of the night in the 30th minute, and in the last minute of the first half, Noah Eden hit a winner, to give Grady an 8-0 halftime lead.

The scoring continued at a rapid pace once the second half started, with Warren Ukah scoring two quick goals in the first 6 minutes. Later Eliot Pimsler lofted a great crossing pass, and Aaron Godbey finished with a strong header to make it 11-0. Eliot scored again just a few minutes later, to be the first of three Grey Knights to register hat tricks. Warren Ukah completed his triple in the 19th minute of the half, and Noah Eden scored the last two goals, to make it a 15-0 final.

Everyone knows that the competition will be much stiffer next week, with home games against traditional rivals Westminster on Tuesday and Lovett on Friday, so let's have a big crowd on hand to cheer the team on during the toughest part of the schedule!^2001-02-26^Response to Soccer game reports 2000^Grady Cyberspace Project - Real News^Terry Kearns^pthkdym@aol.com^004hSf
004hSq^Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2000 9:45 AM Subject: GRADY BOYS' GAME REPORT (Westminster)

It's too bad Tom Murphy didn't get to see this game. The Speaker would have been a screamer, yelling along with everyone else in the stands, Grady fans and Westminster fans alike, who witnessed one of the great games to date in this increasingly testy public-private rivalry. And if Grady, a comparatively under funded but earnest urban public school that opens its doors to almost anyone, was supposed to be athletically disadvantaged to Westminster, the upscale uptown academy that (how does one put this politely?) has a less democratic admissions policy, the Grady boys didn't seem to notice. The aggressive Grey Knights played a hundred minutes of intense soccer that might well have left the Westminster side looking longingly to their impending move to Triple-A, where maybe they can get some easier games.

In addition to the Speaker Murphy, there were two other missing persons of note. First, the regular Grady keeper, Jeremy Senterfitt, was out with strep throat, probably the result of standing around idly in the chill of last Friday's game against Pike County. Backup keeper James Howard filled in very effectively, though, and the defense seemed to step up its game to give Howard extra protection. Second, the Grady scoreboard operator apparently had another evening engagement, and the clock, on which we have all become dependent this season, remained dark. By the second half, several fans figured out how to operate the stopwatch function on their sports watches, which helped allay anxieties in the stands, but that didn't do much the players on the field, who needed to keep track of time in such a long and close contest. We can only hope that someone of influence in APS can lean on the appropriate authorities to make sure that, come the Lovett game Friday evening, time does not again stand still. That said, we return, finally, to the game on the field.

And what a game it was. Early on, probably in the tenth minute (remember, no official clock), Warren Ukah zipped a shot past the Westminster keeper for Grady's first goal, and later in the half Trey Carter added a second, giving Grady an unaccustomed cushion against the 'Cats. In between the goals, Grady had at least a half-dozen first-half chances, with four shots (including a gutty,low-down header) by Dean Bordeaux and one each by John McBride and the now auburn-tressed Noah Eden. On defense, Jesse Orrock and Ryan Miller repeatedly thwarted Westminster in midfield, and the game seemed to be going Grady's way. But against Westminster, it doesn't work that way for long. Late in the half, in about the 37th minute, Grady committed a foul in the box, and Westminster converted the penalty kick; two minutes later, a defensive breakdown left keeper Howard overextended and exposed, and the Wildcats put another one into the net, sending the teams to halftime tied at two.

For anyone who cares only about scoring, that was it. But for those who appreciate why soccer is called "The Beautiful Game," the second half turned out to be even more wonderful than the first -- nerve-wracking, but wonderful. The Grady defense offered fans the contrast between Taylor Janney's steady, reassuring work at sweeper and Eli Sweet's flares of ferocity at marking back. On one exceptional play, Johnathan Holman came all the way back to run down an unmarked Westminster forward, easily but assertively stripped him of the ball, and turned the momentum back in Grady's favor. And the one scene that will surely run repeatedly in everyone's internal instant replay was Ukah's remarkable run through the Westminster defense, juggling the ball on his head and shoulders for about thirty yards, until finally the ball slipped far enough down his arm for him to be called for a hand ball. People looked at each other in puzzlement: "How did he do that?"

As was the case in the first half, Grady had chances in the second half -- a couple of decent shots on goal, two free kicks, a nice corner kick that got four maddening touches before being cleared by the Westminster defense, and finally, in the final minute of the second overtime period, a shot that hit the crossbar -- but no goals. Still, if it's possible to win a tie game, Grady did so by dominating play for all but the first ten minutes of the second half. And at the end of overtime, the Grady players still looked fit and fired up, ready to keep playing even more.

They'll have their chance again Friday night against Lovett, another prep squad the Speaker is bumping up to Triple-A. Grady will no doubt do its part to send them gratefully on their way.

(And one other note: Jack Senterfitt reports that Jeremy will probably be back in action Friday evening, and Jack, we hope, will also be able return to his reportorial duties. Your substitute scribe goes back to the other side of Title IX and will file his next story from North Springs.)

So what do you call it, a hat-trick sandwich? Emmakate Young started the scoring in the 8th minute with a long, lofted shot, Bridgette Ukah closed it out in the 52nd minute with a long run and short but emphatic shot, and in between, Nicole DeMoss got three goals in the 13th, 17th, and 42nd minutes. Add a little offensive garnish (three beautiful but barely errant second-half shots by Katherine Kearns), a side of fries on defense, and you have a satisfying 5-0 final at the end of the dinner hour.

The 0 was as impressive as the 5. For the second straight game, Grady gained a shut-out, and did so in a fashion that might have had keeper Leigh Auerbach wishing she had brought her homework with her so she'd have something more to do during the game. The defensive diamond of Morgan Marshall, Sydney Bufkin, Sarah Nobles, and Amanda Goldberg never let the North Springs forwards go very much forward at all but kept pushing the ball back into the North Springs end of the field, where the Grady midfielders and forwards continued to keep it under control. The passing, in fact, was one of the best aspects of the game -- almost always sharp and smart, and executed with the kind of confidence that comes from trusting each other to do the right thing. At times, the Grady girls looked as Though they were just working on their passing patterns, with the North Springs side as little more than an on-field distraction.

It hasn't always been that way, of course. In the past few years, the North Springs game was one we've won, but usually only after a scramble (and in 1998, only after coming back from a two-goal deficit). Last night's game seemed calm by comparison; at least after the girls' Lovett game last week and the boys' thriller with Westminster the night before. But this sort of steady and deliberate deconstruction of decent opposition is a sign that this team is for real, that the Grady girls can play pretty much on their own terms with anyone. Given the JV's impressive 7-1 victory over North Springs just before the varsity contest, that may be the case for several years to come.

And a related news note: Be sure to check out Thursday's "City Life" sports section in the AJ-C for a couple of articles on high school soccer in Atlanta, both of which discuss Grady in the same breath as Westminster and include several quotes from Riki Bolster and a photo of boys' stalwarts John McBride and Dean Bordeaux. Good ink for good teams.

The game started late, and the Grady girls got started even later. The hour-long wait for the referees to arrive apparently disrupted the team's pre-game concentration, and once play got underway, Grady almost immediately gave up a goal, in the thirtieth second. The defense seemed disorganized, even a bit disoriented, letting a fast Campbell forward run unmarked down the left side and take a shot, which an unprotected Leigh Auerbach deflected only to have the other Campbell forward finish it for a quick 1-0 lead. Ten minutes later, Auerbach had to stop another Campbell breakaway single-handedly, blocking the ball at the top of the box. The outlook, as they once said in Mudville, wasn't brilliant.

But after one score and one scare, the Grady girls got organized on defense and aggressive on offense -- which is to say, they began to play their normal game and took control for the rest of the evening. Even in the face of a good, quick Campbell defense that covered well, the Grady forwards put on the pressure and popped off around ten good shots on goal and about an equal number of quasi-shots in a goalward direction. Finally, in the 27th minute, Camden Janney turned a nice assist from Anna Gentry into Grady's first goal, and that took the team into halftime tied at one.

The second half was all Grady almost from the beginning. In the third minute of the half, Emmakate Young lofted a corner kick from the left side, and Bridgette Ukah sent it onto the crossbar: no goal. Following that near-miss, Young took a corner from the right side a minute later, and this time it went from Katie Ross Kinsey to Ukah to the goal: Grady, 2-1. Later in the half, beginning in the 20th minute, the Grady girls got off a close series of shots on goal, the soccer equivalent of rat-a-tat-tat: Morgan Marshall with a shot (20th minute), Nicole DeMoss with a goal (24th), DeMoss with another shot (25th), Sarah Nobles with a shot (26th), and DeMoss with yet another (26th). The Campbell keeper (the second of the evening, the first having retired after the first-half harassment) probably earned her letter by stopping four of the five shots in that brief flurry. In the meantime, when they weren't shooting, the whole Grady team, from marking backs to midfielders to forwards, put on another demonstration of crisp and accurate passing, controlling the middle of the field and frustrating any Campbell attempt to get back in the game.

In the end, it seemed like another, almost routine Grady victory -- another case of all's well that ends well. And today brings a new beginning at Grady Stadium, where we will again convene and, we hope, start on time at 5.30.

004hSu^Friday, March 31, 2000 11:31 AM Subject: GRADY GIRLS' GAME REPORT (Northgate)

(NOTE: Your formerly more timely scribe has been beset recently by the demands of his day job, and thus this report is a few days late. My apologies.)

Maybe it was the weather; maybe it was the late finish of the Campbell game the night before. But for whatever reason, the first half of the Northgate game seemed to be a confusing series of weird bounces in swirling winds, and the Grady girls never really looked like -- well, the Grady girls. True, they got their shots: Camden Janney had one in the early going, Emmakate Young took another later on, and Nicole DeMoss had a handful, including a four-shot barrage in the 21st, 26th, 28th, and 29th minutes. Northgate had theirs too: a shot over the bar, another to the left of the goal, and two dangerous-looking corners. But the only scoring in the half came when Bridgette Ukah, despite being bumped as she rumbled toward to goal, finished a fine run with a score in the 18th minute: Grady, 1-0.

The wind settled down in the second half, and so did the Grady side. In the 4th minute, Claire Rosenbaum took a pass from DeMoss and made a lovely long run down the right side to put the ball into the net: 2-0. Fourteen minutes later, DeMoss made her own long run with the same result: 3-0. But the Northgate Cowetans, not to be cowed, came back with a brief burst of their own in the 23rd and 24th minutes of the half, sending successive shots over, toward, and, finally, into the goal: 3-1. No sooner had they finished their high-fiving, though, than a 26th-minute Ukah-to-Janney pass-and-shoot combination -- as pretty a pattern as Coach Bolster could have drawn on the blackboard -- answered the Northgate goal and put the game out of the visitors' reach. Three more Grady shots -- Katie Ross-Kinsey (28th), Morgan Marshall (32nd), and Ukah again (34) -- were to no avail, but no matter. It was an occasionally flawed but perfectly fine 4-1 final.

They say that the mark of a good team is being able to win even when not playing its best game, and if that's true, Grady is truly a good team. But there are no more prep-school Palookas on the schedule. Grady will need its absolute best after spring vacation, when two very, very good teams, North Atlanta and Westminster, confront us in the last week of the regular season. Let's hope everyone stays in shape over the break and comes back rested and ready and wearing the grim Grey Knight game face. And that goes for the girls on the team, too.

004hT0^Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2000 9:12 AM Subject: GRADY GIRLS' GAME REPORT (North Atlanta)

If any game had to end in a tie, better it was this one. The North Atlanta team is full of friends and former teammates, girls who in many cases have been with our girls through grade school, middle school, kid soccer, and now club soccer. It's also a team that showed as much tough character as ours, going ahead, falling behind, coming back, and never caving in or calling it quits. The Grady Girls' Game Report is no place to celebrate the opposition, of course, but some of these girls are like sisters. And if, as some football coach once said, a tie is like kissing your sister, then this game was at least worth a little peck on the cheek.

It wasn't a very kissy game, though, but more like a family feud, with both sides giving as much as they took. North Atlanta started the scoring in the 5th minute, when a forward wove through the Grady defense for a goal. But Bridgette Ukah answered almost immediately, in the 8th minute, with her own determined dribble through the Warrior defense for a tying goal. Grady had a few other good shots

-- Katie Ross-Kinzie over the goal, Anna Gentry-Richardson to the right, and Nicole DeMoss to the left -- but nothing in the net. In the 30th minute, North Atlanta ninth-grader Elizabeth Cochran (a player to watch and worry about in the future) broke free and attacked the Grady goal in what became a three-feet bang-bang exchange with keeper Leigh Auerbach: Cochran shot, Auerbach blocked, Cochran took the rebound in the body, and the ball rocketed into the goal. Then, just to square things before the half, Camden Janney made a sweet run down the right and popped a shot off the North Atlanta keeper's hands to tie the game at 2 in the 37th minute. The ensuing intermission, as it turned out, was only the first of three such rest periods, as the second half brought a see-sawing of control and another exchange of goals that would send the game into overtime. Grady took to the attack early on, with shots by Ukah, DeMoss, and Janney, and a good DeMoss-Ukah combination made for a third Grady goal in the 11th minute. Toward the middle of the half, however, the Warriors woke up to take control of the game and pressured the Grady defense, with North Atlanta's Cochran ultimately lofting a high shot that just brushed the fingertips of keeper Auerbach before settling into the goal. (It was later alleged by a Grady player of unimpeachable personal integrity that Auerbach's were not the only hands to touch the ball on the play, but if Cochran did indeed rely on manual assistance during her approach to the goal, the referees, as was their habit all afternoon, did not make the call.)

Regulation ended at 3-3, and the two teams regrouped for an additional twenty minutes of, as Skip Caray would say, free soccer.

The first overtime period had barely begun before Claire Rosenbaum made a beautiful shot off an Emmakate Young header, putting Grady in good shape in the second minute. But in the early going of the second overtime, North Atlanta answered with its own header off a corner kick, tying the game again. Grady came close-close-close just before the end of overtime, first with a Young corner kick to Ross-Kinzie that required a great save by the Warrior keeper, and then, in the fading moments of play, a final shot by DeMoss. But in the end, after a hundred minutes of impassioned play, with all the to-ing and fro-ing fans could want, the game concluded in a dignified but still somewhat disappointing draw. We coulda, shoulda won, but what the heck. Pucker up, sis.

So, let's see here, who's next on the schedule? Oh . . . Westminster. It is now time, friends and neighbors, to crank up the family CD player with "Chariots of Fire," "Rocky," your favorite college fight song, or whatever it takes to get the girls ready for the limactic public-private encounter this Friday at five. It's marbles -- all of 'em. The winner goes on, the loser goes home. It might feel right to turn this game into a WWF-style Texas Death Match, with a chain-link fence around the field and a few metal folding chairs lying on the sidelines. But the more mature adult mentality reminds us: it's only a game. . only a game . . . only a game.

004hT4^Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 10:13 AM Subject: GRADY GIRLS' GAME REPORT (Westminster)

The fuller analysis says that this contest against Westminster was like no other in recent memory -- which is to say, it was a real soccer game. In previous years, the Grady game has been, from the Westminster perspective, a laugher, a rout, a free spot on the schedule what usually ground down to the end as Westminster passing practice, with the Grady goal area declared a no-shot zone, or that occasionally came to a premature conclusion with the mercy-killing rule or, in 1998, a heaven-sent deluge at halftime. But no more, or not this year, anyway. Even though the Cats used their considerable skill and speed to dominate the game, they did not own it, and they no doubt left Grady Stadium knowing that they had been in a fight -- and should expect to be in one for years to come if these teams continue to meet. And even though moral victories don't take up space in the W-column, the Grady team could also leave the field with the satisfaction of having sent a message -- to Westminster and everyone else they played this season -- that they have indeed arrived on the elite soccer scene in the state.

The Knights looked a little nervous at the start, and by the time they loosened up, Westminster had scored four goals in the first 23 minutes. It could have been worse but for three outstanding saves by Leigh Auerbach, who had a superb day in the goal; clearly, all the standing around she had to do in the earlier, less challenging games, did nothing to atrophy her skills. But Auerbach and the defenders had to fight off the ball in our end of the field for too much of the first half, and an unsettling sense of deja-vu-all-over-again began to creep through the stands. Then, just in time to shake everyone out of any defeatist feelings, birthday girl Nicole DeMoss hit for two late-in-the-half goals, a PK in the 39th minute and a nice finish to a Camden Janney cross in the 40th, with only three ticks left on the clock. It's too bad we had to stop for the halftime, because Grady had, as George Bush the Elder used to say, Big Mo working for us.

Grady got right back to work after in intermission, passing well and playing tough defense. In fact, almost everyone in the back line -- Amanda Goldberg, Sydney Bufkin, Sarah Nobles, Morgan Marshall, and Katherine Kearns -- had at least one goal-saving moment. But the Westminster pressure found a few leaks, and the Cats scored a fifth goal in the 10th minute of the second half, shot two near-misses off the goals posts and one over the bar in the 12th and 13th minutes, and drilled a 25-yard frozen rope over Auerbach's hands to close out the scoring at six in the 34th minute. And yes, they were still shooting late in the game, which (to put a positive spin on things, perhaps) is less a sign of running up the score than of showing respect for what Grady still might do. As it happened, Grady wasn't able to do enough on offense, except for Bridgette Ukah's rugged run-and-shoot in the 31st minute, but the Knights still kept up the pressure -- and their heads -- until the final whistle. An honorable ending. Again, good game.

In this last installment of this year's GGGR, it might be tempting to decry the cosmic injustice that keeps a top-ten team with a 12-2-1 record out of the state AA playoffs, but nope, not here. It's better to applaud the positive, to celebrate a soccer team that started the season thinking they were good and ended the season knowing it. This was Grady soccer as we've never seen it before, with a deep team of skilled players in all grade levels who deserve great credit for stepping up and playing like veterans. The captains -- Sarah Nobles, Helen Dixon, Nicole DeMoss, and Emmakate Young -- deserve credit for their leadership, for helping everyone come together as a team to support each other, both on and off the field, without falling into the hot-dog back-biting that so often plagues talented teams. And Coach Bolster certainly deserves credit for making the most of that talent, for smart substitutions to keep fresh legs in the game, for the jokes and hugs to keep the whole team loose. She'll have almost all the legs back next year -- ten starters and several other players who could easily be starters -- along with a new supply of jokes and hugs. It may be premature to start talking of a Grady dynasty yet, but it's never too early to start anticipating the future. I'm reserving my season tickets for next year now.

004tXt^To Whom it May Concern:

Greetings from Maiya Hayes, AJC CityLife/N. Fulton sports reporter. Each Thursday we run your schools' Athletes of the Weeks on ajc.com. I would appreciate it if you would send me girls and boys nominations from your school no later than 2 p.m. Wednesday (each week). I apologize for this last-minute e-mail, but I was off work Monday and if you're unable to send nominees to me this week, just make sure you send them next week. Spread the word to your fellow coaches so that I get as many submissions as possible.

In order to submit nominations, please send me the athlete's name, sport and the reason why he or she is being nominated in about 15 words or less. In addtion, you have not already called and/or e-mailed me about your teams, I would appreciate it if you would. I have 25 schools and eight sports to cover this spring, so I will need your help in learning about your teams. Thanks
