City, county partner on trail Charlotte and Mecklenburg County leaders

recently approved an agreement to partner on building the Cross Charlotte Trail, a 26-mile route spanning from Pineville to Cabar-rus County.

About 7.5 miles exist as greenways along Little Sugar, Toby and Mallard creeks. The county will expand greenways at Little Sugar and Toby creeks 5.5 miles, and the city will build another 13 miles of new trail to fill in the gaps between the segments.

Charlotte anticipates spending at least $35 million on the trail, of which $5 million comes from the 2014 bond referendum and another $30 million from the proposed 2016 bond proposal.

The trail will incorporate south Charlotte area destinations such as Carolina Pavilion Shopping Center, Park Road Park, SouthPark Mall and Park Road Shopping Center.

City helps Barclay Downs trees The Barclay Downs Homeowner’s Associa-

tion received a $3,000 matching grant from the city’s neighborhood and businesses ser-vices department to help defray the cost to band trees in the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is located just north of SouthPark Mall.

Tree banding grants will be available on a first-come basis to paid members first.

Go to www.barclaydownshoa.org for more information.

Area bridges due for repairsSeveral area bridges are scheduled for rou-

tine construction and maintenance work this year through the city’s 2015 Bridge Structure Repairs project.

Work could include repairs to barrier rails, culverts, pavement and soil, as well as remov-al of debris and brush.

The city recently approved a nearly $2.8 million contract Lee Construction Company of the Carolinas to carry out repairs for 96 bridges including:

• Ballantyne Corporate Place – U.S. 521/I-485 ramp and McAlpine Creek Tributary.

• Briar Creek – Michael Baker, Park and Randolph roads.

• Campbell Creek – Margaret Wallace Road.• Little Hope Creek – Seneca Place.• Little Sugar Creek – Archdale Drive, Hill-

side and Princetown avenues, and Park, Sha-ron and Tyvola roads.

• McAlpine Creek – Colony, Johnston, Mar-garet Wallace, Old Providence and Sardis roads.

• McMullen Creek – Johnston and Fairview roads and Arborway Lane.

Improvements due on Rea RoadThe final phase of landscaping improve-

ments to Rea Road is expected to be com-plete by the first quarter of 2016.

The city awarded a $164,450 contract to Champion Landscapes to install trees, shrubs and ground cover plants between Carmel Es-tates and Colony roads.

Rea Road saw landscaping improvements earlier this year between N.C. 51 and Carmel Estate Road.

mecklenburg county has grown its parks and recreation footprint and pro-gramming considerably since 2007, but the work is far from done.

The county has increased recreation space by 17 percent from 17,753 acres in 2007 to 20,785 acres in 2014. mecklen-burg also grew its trails from 85 to 158 miles during that same span.

Other signs of progress over the past seven years include the opening of eight neighborhood parks, 10 community and regional parks, 13 miles of greenways and two nature preserves.

Jim Garges, parks and recreation di-rector, expects nearly a billion dollars in economic development generated from three parks – revolution Sports academy, romare Bearden Park and little Sugar creek.

“we’re at a very unique point in meck-lenburg’s history to meet this many needs with a growing population,” Garges said. “The benefit for that is going to be im-proved health, a higher quality of life and also more importantly, economic develop-ment.”

So where is the county going?The county set several goals for 2019 in-

cluding the addition of more than 1,000 acres of recreation space, 22 miles of greenways, four neighborhood parks, three

community and regional parks, an urban park, a nature preserve, a nature center and two recreation center expansions.

Other recommendations provided by the parks and recreation department in-clude: • Acquiring 546 acres for neighborhood

parks, 215 acres for community parks and 439 acres of regional parks. • Expanding seven existing recreation

centers, including marion Diehl and Nao-mi Drenan.• Building 10 new outdoor spraygrounds

and six outdoor family aquatic centers.• Converting 60.5 miles of greenways

over 10 years and increasing the trail net-work by 268 miles over 30 years. • Adding three or four new nature cen-

ters over the next 10 years.The county bases its planning for facili-

ties and programming on citizen surveys. Paved walking and biking trails, park

shelters and picnic areas, nature trails, and fitness and exercise facilities continue to rank among the most in-demand facility uses.

as far as programming, citizens want to see more adult fitness and wellness, special events/festivals, water fitness, education/life skills and outdoor adventure.

mecklenburg county commissioners endorsed the parks and recreation depart-ment’s expansion plans Tuesday, Oct. 6, meeting.

miss Ballantyne USa lauren Dixon will compete for the miss North carolina USa title in high Point on Oct. 9 and 10. Vis-it www.missnorthcarolinausa.com for more information and to live-stream the pageant. Visit www.facebook.com/missBallantyneU-SA2016 for more on Dixon and to follow her journey to the crown.

What motivated you to pursue the

Miss Ballantyne USA title?I entered the miss North carolina USa

pageant as miss Ballantyne USa to expand relationships within my community and state. In establishing these relationships, I am especially striving to be a positive influ-ence for today's youth. I believe there is a lack of ambition in younger generations, and that it is my responsibility to motivate and encourage them to dream big and work hard to achieve their goals.

What does your Miss Ballantyne title mean to you?

Being a titleholder gives me a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on people that I encounter. It is an honor to compete for the state title as miss Ballan-tyne. I will proudly represent our vibrant, thriving, and growing community in hopes of bringing home the state title.

How do you prepare for a

pageant?everyone has their

own routine. mine is to meal prep healthy ‘grab-and-go’ food options and hit the gym. while I’m at the gym, I like to lis-ten to news podcasts and scroll through feeds to stay on top of important issues. my favorite part of the pageant preparation is picking out my ward-robe! There are many areas of competition that require different styles: registration, rehearsals, interviews, opening number, swim suit and evening gown. (Spoiler alert: I love to sew, and I actually designed and constructed my open-ing number outfit.)

What organizations do you work with as Miss Ballantyne USA?

The make-a-wish Foundation holds a special place in my heart. Being a former NFl cheerleader and current Black and Blue crew member for the carolina Panthers, I’ve seen and been a small part of helping many wishes come true. The happiness this organi-zation brings to children is contagious, and each child has left a lasting impression on me. Other charitable organizations that the miss North carolina USa pageant is affiliated with are: Gilda’s club, the USO, Susan G. komen for the cure, Ovarian cancer National alli-ance, Best Buddies and Girl Talk.

NewsDear editor,I live near elm lane and

Ballantyne commons Park-way, just south of highway 51. I’ve lived here for 26 years. more business, more residents, more speeders.

People who cannot read traffic signs and regularly run red lights, go 35 to 45 in a 25 zone and risk life and limb to get somewhere sooner? with the new North community house Bridge, there are even more vehicles breaking the law and neighbors waiting for something bad to happen. my neighborhood needs speed bumps, as I am sure so do many others. Putting up traffic lights at dangerous intersections al-ways seems to take a long time until there’s a fatal crash; then it takes no time at all.

I realize how burdened our local cmPD patrols are with all of the increased traffic. we citi-zens can help by watching and reporting violators. you might prevent a serious accident.

The WeeklyLetter to

the Editor


a few days ago I was shopping in Pub-lix (truth be told, one of my favorite pas-times). I bake a lot in the fall, and, for some reason, can still never manage to keep track of which ingredients I have in my pantry and which ones I ac-tually need. I came home that day with a quarter-pound bag of all-purpose flour only to find I already had four bags of flour of the same size, unopened and unused.

It was during my usual unnecessary grocery shopping trip that I overheard (I promise I wasn't eavesdropping) a conversation between two middle-age moms, frustrated with a cof-fee shop barista who took too long to take her order because he was texting on the job. #first-worldproblems

“what can you do, though? That’s just the millennial generation, unfortunately,” she said.

millennials. lazy. Selfish. entitled. Tech-ob-sessed. Disrespectful. Those are just a few words our elders use to describe 20-somethings today

(myself being one of them) and, unfortunately, the list goes on and on. It’s not a new phenom-enon – older generations have aloofly looked down on their children’s children since man walked out of the cave. But for those of us born in the 80s, 90s and 2000s, it’s a stereotype that doesn't seem to be wearing off with time.

we’re the “me me me” generation. we re-ceived trophies and ribbons for participating. we were told we could do anything. we were coddled, bottle fed and moved back home with our parents after college so mom could do our laundry and fix supper every night. we’re at-tached to our phones because of a deep-rooted anxiety that, no matter where we are or who we’re with, we’re missing out on something better. we’re taking selfies instead of taking our time. and at the end of the day, we hold out our hands and demand, “Give me a job! Give me benefits! Give me a 35-hour workweek for $60K! Give me a house and a car and respect!”

Or at least, that’s what the moms in Publix think.

I have to admit – I did receive a partici-pation ribbon every year I was a little league cheerleader. Go eagles!

and I’ll be the first to admit – I check my phone more than I should. I have a complex because my younger sister has more Instagram followers than I do and, last night, I realized I was sitting in bed watching “The Voice” while my iPhone, iPad and macBook were all within

reach. I was alone, but having a conversation with three other people, thanks to imessage.

my grandfather worked third shift at a poultry plant to put four boys through col-lege. my dad worked there too, before he went to college and built a commercial real estate company from the ground up. he chased after, and eventually caught, “The american Dream,” but doesn't hesitate to remind me that he started off dirt broke with my mom in a one-room apartment.

like most stereotypes, there’s truth in that of millennials. But don’t get me wrong. we’re working hard. we’re reminded of our blue-col-lar working grandfathers as we sit behind com-puter screens looking for jobs. after college, I started out working at a community newspaper making less than $2,000 a month. But I worked hard. I got to work early and stayed late. I saved my money. eventually, I landed a bigger job that paid a little more. and I’m still working.

my best friend is in her third year of medi-cal school at UNc – chapel hill training to become a pediatrician. my younger sister is a personal trainer who recently helped a young man with cerebral palsy confined to a wheel-chair finish a triathlon. her boyfriend helped a startup tech business grow into one of the largest in Silicon Valley.

I wish the coffee barista hadn’t checked his phone on the job in front of the Publix mom. It makes the rest of us look bad.

charlotte catholic high School theater di-rector marcus riter made his imagination come to life for the school’s fall play.

Unlike the steampunk futuristic vibe riter’s “The Fell” brought last year, this year’s play “Into Dust,” written and directed by riter, ex-plores a family during the 1930s Dust Bowl in Oklahoma.

The play follows the auten family, who travel from a sustainable farm, to make a new life in the midwest on a new farm. The move proves to create more problems for the family because their land becomes a “dirt farm” and their “bad luck” turns into a lifestyle.

The patriarch of the family, Josef, played by senior alex kroeger, pushed the family to move west and deals with his guilt of driving the fam-ily to hardship, as well as his hot temper.

Josef eventually becomes the suspect of the murder of his landlord, John Flannery, leaving the town and his family in unrest.

riter said the mumford & Sons’s song, “Dust bowl Dance,” inspired the play.

“after hearing the song, the idea got stuck in my head and I had to get it out of (my) head and get it on the stage,” he said.

he enjoyed the acoustic sound of the song, which inspired the folky and historical theme.

Senior leo Faillace also delivers the acoustic feel through the compositions he wrote for the play’s scene changes. he describes the songs as “bluesy” and “folky” based on the mood of each scene and added vocals to a few songs to em-phasize the scene’s “feeling.”

he used three different acoustic guitars, as well as a harmonica in his music.

riter also hopes the play reveals a message of hope in spite of adversity.

“Sometimes when you feel things can’t pos-sibly get any worse, they’re about to,” he said. “This is a family down on their luck, but they’re still hopeful after time and time again being knocked down.”

alex said his character deals with retaining his hope when Josef causes events to go wrong with his family. he said he’s connected with his character’s anger and guilt, but believes there’s compassion underneath his character’s seem-ingly hard shell.

riter hopes audiences can also learn a lesson from the production as characters search for hope.

“we can’t know God’s plan for us,” he said. “It’s only in the distant future do we find a pur-pose.”

“Into Dust” will be performed at 7702 Pineville Matthews Road on Oct. 15, 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. each night. Tickets cost $5 at the door.

charlotte christian School’s theater depart-ment will kick off its season with a breath of fresh air.

angela Tomaselli started this school year as the new middle and upper school theater teacher after serving as the theater department director and theater teacher at Stivers School of the arts in Dayton, Ohio.

at Stivers, her goal was to build the theater department, which she accomplished over four years, but found she was eventually ready for a change.

“Over the last three years for me, it was a public school, I felt as though I was just tread-ing water and I needed a challenge,” Tomaselli said. “I feel my calling is to work with youth and use my christianity to affect youth. al-though I did do that in the public school, I needed more of an open forum to be able to freely do that and be able to integrate that in the classroom.”

when the opening came up last year after renee Bear decided “to pursue other oppor-tunities,” Tomaselli felt she found the perfect opportunity. She felt her attitude to “strive for excellence” fit well with christian’s mission.

“I’m trying to build young people who are equipped and ready to face any facet of life and communicate effectively,” she said.

Tomaselli has taken her strict, but nurturing nature into her directorial debut with the mid-dle school’s performance of “Sleeping Beauty.” however, audience members won’t see the fa-miliar Disney version in the performance.

The director said the production takes a modern twist on the classic fairy tale, deliver-ing a rock ‘n roll, elvis vibe. Briar rose, the “beauty,” is less a damsel in distress and more of an inquisitive independent, who Tomaselli hints might be her own hero.

eighth- and seventh-graders Olivia Busse and mary elizabeth Johnson said Tomaselli has helped them grow as actors. Both are part of the ensemble and love being on stage.

“She introduced different ways that I never thought before in acting,” mary elizabeth said. “She fun, but she enforces the rules, but that’s what every good director does. They don’t bend easily.”

The students hope audience members forget they are watching middle schoolers on stage and become immersed in the show.

“Sleeping Beauty” is slated for Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 17 at 2 and 7 p.m. in the Lamb/Johnson Gymnasium.

mcclintock middle School wouldn’t be the STem-focused, partial-magnet school it is to-day without a decade-long partnership with christ lutheran church (clc), and the Uni-versity of North carolina at charlotte Urban Institute has data to prove it.

clc started mcclintock Partners in educa-tion (mcPIe) in 2007 when former charlotte-mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Peter Gorman held a faith summit and challenged churches to adopt a school in need.

The church began hosting weekly family nights during the school year, where students could participate in various STem-related (science, technology, engineering and math) clubs. The volunteer-based family nights pro-vide families with a meal and activities for all ages. experts and professionals from STem careers also attend the family nights and pro-vide real-world examples of how STem skills are used in their positions.

clc also hosts science camps and Freedom School during the summer to ensure students stay connected to reading.

The middle school has sustained numer-ous leadership changes, but the program has still remained, Superintendent ann clark said at an announcement of the Urban Institute’s findings and recommendations on Sept. 29.

clc found mcclintock needed to build a school community, which inspired family nights, said amy Daniels, mcPIe director and president of clc Outreach.

mcPIe’s mission is “to create stories,” Daniels said, particularly for students of low socioeconomic status, as well as support the mcclintock families needs. She said students learn about careers and opportunities they might not be exposed to otherwise.

“The impact of that is exposing kids to expe-riences that are different (than the norm),” said laTarzja henry, cmS assistant superinten-dent for community partnerships and family engagement. “what we see here is they have the opportunity to attend field trips, partici-pate in science camps and it was afforded by the relationship between the faith house and the school to meet the needs of the kids here that might not normally be able to do that.”

mcPIe serves a higher percentage of non-white and economically disadvantaged stu-dents than the district or state, according to the institute’s data. mcPIe serves a populous of 82 percent who are economically disadvan-taged compared to the 54 percent and 58 per-cent of economically disadvantaged students in the district and state, respectively.

african american, hispanic and economi-cally disadvantaged students statistically have higher rates of absenteeism and suspension and lower pass rates on end-of-Grade exams.

Daniels said mcPIe have created a bridge

between poverty and education beyond aca-demics, through building a relationship be-tween families and the volunteers.

“They have captured the importance of re-lationships with students through consistent attendance and engagement,” clark said.

kiah Silver, an east mecklenburg high School student who participated in mcPIe and now serves as a volunteer, said the com-munity volunteers made a difference in her youth, when she had trouble finding her iden-tity and communicating well with her family.

henry believes the relationships built be-tween students and volunteers are a key piece of the partnership because “children are in des-perate need of connection with a caring adult.” She said research proves a child who has at least one caring adult in their life generally has a more positive outcome into adulthood.

Daniels said she realized the difference mcPIe was making in the mcclintock com-munity, but wanted quantitative data of its effect through the UNcc Urban Institute to “make sure they were hitting the mark.”

Through interviews and academic records, the institute concentrated on academic, atten-dance and suspension changes, according to researcher Diane Gavarkavich.

She reported that students who participated in mcPIe saw a decrease in absences, higher math and science scores and a greater under-standing of those subjects in high school.

Through the STem clubs, mcPIe helped

to close the opportunity gap between econom-ically disadvantaged students and their advan-taged counterparts.

mcPIe also made a grander impact than strictly higher proficiency: mcclintock might not be open today without the clc partner-ship. mcPIe’s advocacy kept mcclintock open in 2011, when cmS was looking to close low-performing schools.

mcPIe’s STem clubs also led to the creation of STem electives during the school day, such as robotics, which helped mcclintock became a STeam (a refers to art) magnet in 2014.

She believes the clc partnership worked because the effort was “consistent, aligned and strategic,” she said. clc “customized” the im-pact of the program to suit the needs.

“It’s not just about being large, the numbers, but the impact,” henry said.

henry said when she thinks about the charlotte area, she thinks about a faith-based community. She seeks to align faith-based in-stitutions, as well as community organizations, with charlotte-mecklenburg schools in need and cater to the specific needs of the school.

henry encourages community businesses and nonprofits and individuals who wish to connect with a school to develop partnerships that are consistent and strategic to the school’s needs.

my son once gave me a key ring which said, “reality is the leading cause of stress.”

let’s face it. when facing the real world, it is hard not to feel stressed. Feverish anxieties, gnawing worries, stress and tension seem to characterize so much of modern life. research has shown that anxiety and stress contribute to heart disease, ulcers, loss of memory, blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, diminished immune function and disturbed sleep patterns. anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental illnesses in the country.

There is a huge industry in sleeping pills, antidepressants and minor tranquilizers to help people cope. But experts are by no means agreed as to the cure for worry and anxiety. Is there such a cure? Is it possible to win over worry?

Think of it this way. when you have a problem, you go to someone who can take care of it. So if you have a health problem, you go to your doctor. If you have a legal problem, you go to your attorney. you take your problem to them, and act on their advice (and pay their bill). you give them your problem, and then trust them to take care of it. Now imagine taking all your problems, worries, and anxieties to someone who is all-powerful and all-loving. There is such a person. The apostle Peter writes, “cast all your anxieties on him (God) because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

a few summers ago my wife, Gudny, and I were walking along beautiful wrightsville Beach and saw a little toddler. One of his little chubby hands was in the hand of his fa-ther, who was a very powerfully built young man (I tried to push out my chest as I was walking past). The wee boy’s other hand was in his mother’s hand. She had a very sweet and loving face. They were obviously delighted to be at the

beach and were enjoying leading their son into the ocean possibly for the first time. It was a delightful picture until I looked at the child’s face. his lip was trembling, his face was puckered, and he was about to cry. he wasn’t looking at his very strong father. he wasn’t looking at his very loving mother. he was staring at the waves of the ocean, which, from his perspective, must have seemed very big, very noisy and very foreboding. Did he really

think that his powerful father and loving mother would let him drown? Did he really think that they would let anything harm him? Never. They wanted him to enjoy the wonder of the warm and exciting ocean. They were leading him into a new adventure. what was he fretting about? his eyes were on the sea rather than on his mom and dad who certainly could be trusted.

are you presently facing deep waters and huge waves? Is your life very difficult, full of perilous and seemingly insu-perable obstacles? here is the challenge: don’t focus on the waves; don’t be anxious at the size of your problems. Focus on God, and bring all of your cares and worries to him. he is all-powerful. he can do all things. No problem is too great for him. he is the God who can move mountains. he is also a God who loves you, and knows you.

cast all your cares on the all-powerful and all-loving God. he really cares for you. he loves you. So bring all of your cares to the lord in prayer. and trust the God who can do the impossible.

ciel Gallery is celebrating the human body in all forms and fashions with its October show, “The Body Beautiful.”

The juried exhibit is held in conjunction with Breast cancer awareness month – and, although breast cancer is a key inspiration for the theme, the 34 featured works collectively focus on the human body as a whole.

“every month we pick different themes we feel are relevant to the community,” Tina alber-ni, spokesperson for the ciel Gallery, said. “This month, we decided because October is the month for (breast) cancer (awareness), to have our show focus not so much on the illness, but celebrating the mind, body and spirit.”

The 29 artists in the show come from all across the U.S., from North carolina to as far as arizona. co-jurors were Siu challons-lipton, chair of the Queens University art Department, and Jordan D. lipton, physician and partner at Signature healthcare in charlotte.

ciel Gallery artist miriam Durkin, who special-izes in the human figure, won Best of Show for her work, “Nude in Greys.” Sponsor Ortho carolina hand center of charlotte provided the award.

“‘Nude in Greys’ is an expression of being at ease with life and what our circumstances give us, let-ting the world in and being still,” Durkin said in a news release.

N.c. artist Juanita Greenspan’s sculpture, “a Definite Presence,” and raleigh artist Jim hallen-

beck’s oil painting, “morning,” won second and third place, respectively.

Ghislaine Fremaux, of Texas, and Sharon hock-field, robert crum and Zaire kaczmarski, all of N.c., received honorable mentions.

The show will remain on display through Oct. 31, and all artwork is available for purchase.

ciel representatives hope visitors leave the gallery enlightened and with a new appreciation for both art and themselves.

“we hope people take the message of what the art’s saying – trying to discern what makes your body beautiful, no matter what, and celebrate that,” alberni said.

ciel Gallery, located at 128 e. Park ave. in charlotte, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Find more information at www.cielcharlotte.com.

Breast Cancer Awareness

a woman can only shake her head as she looks down at the mrI that led to her breast cancer diagnosis at 42 years old.

“I’m just so thankful for this,” she said. “If I had not had a mammogram, things would be very different right now.”

She was one of 14 breast cancer sur-vivors interviewed for a five-minute video charlotte radiology uploaded to youTube on Sept. 30. Their stories are woven together to present a narrative about the importance of early detection for women in their forties.

The video also serves as a call to ac-tion, pointing viewers to an online peti-tion, dubbed “Protect women’s access to mammograms.”

The petition, signed by 4,000 people, says recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force could make women in their forties pay more for breast cancer screenings. That’s be-cause health plans won’t be required to cover the costs of mammograms for women 40 to 49 years old.

The petition calls for congress to pass the Protect access to lifesaving Screen-ings act (PalS act), which would put a two-year moratorium on finalizing the task force’s recommendations.

In april, the task force recommend-ed mammography for women 50 to 74

years old every two years. The task force recommended women

in their 40s should personally decide whether to get mammograms, citing the potential harm of false positive test results like additional tests and proce-dures.

“women deserve to be empowered with the scientific data about the ben-efits and harms of mammography so they can make informed choices about their health,” said Dr. kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, vice-chair of the task force in april. “Supported by the science, ev-ery woman should use her own values, preferences and health history to make the decision that is right for her.”

N.c. congresswoman renee ellmers, a former nurse, said changes to screening guidelines could put upward of 22 million women at risk of losing access to mammograms.

“Plain and simple, this type of rec-ommendation impairs access to breast cancer screenings and would be det-rimental for women’s health in this country,” ellmers said upon the intro-duction of the PalS act in July.

Florida congresswoman Debbie wasserman Schultz, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed at 41 years old, is co-sponsoring the house resolution. She says the task force recommenda-tions could give women in their 40s the impression they are not at risk, which could lead to more advanced and later-stage diagnoses.

Myers Park at ButlerFriday at 7 p.m.

Butler hasn’t been the same with christian Dixon, clifton Duck and Benny lemay out of the lineup. The Bulldogs are reeling after a 10-7 upset loss at the hands of east meck. meanwhile, myers Park has won two in a row since an over-time loss to South meck.

a win would put the mustangs in the driver’s seat for the Southwestern 4a title, while the Bulldogs need a win to get back on track. myers Park should be fresh and rejuvenated coming off a bye, and a team can only benefit from an extra week to prepare for Butler.

Rocky River at East MeckFriday at 7 p.m.

a win over Garinger isn’t much to be raving about, but the ravens will take what they can get and a victory would only enhance rocky river’s playoff resume, which is still on the bubble. The same could be said for the eagles.

This game is a contrast of styles. rocky river likes to spread defenses out, while east meck mixes in elements physicality and misdirection with its variation of the wing-T. It’ll be exciting to see which approach is superior.

Providence at BerryFriday at 7 p.m.

coach Brad Bowles and his staff have the Panthers bat-tling. Providence has improved to .500 on the season and 2-0 in conference play after a rocky start.

Quarterback play is still an issue for the Panthers, but Dru Seabrook, Tyler Pistorio and company have the Providence defense as stingy as any unit of its kind in the area. Berry won’t make it easy, but it’s hard to imagine the cardinals soaring against the Panthers.

Providence Day senior outside hitter Lexi Mitchell recorded 27 kills and 11

digs in the Chargers 3-2 win over CISAA leader Covenant Day on Tuesday, Oct. 6.


South meck’s boys’ soccer team is 11-0-1 (7-0 So. meck 8), and has outscored opponents 72-6 this season. However, coach Eric white knows the road to a state championship isn’t easy.

In fact, the Sabres were forced to overcome more than rival ar-drey Kell (9-5-3, 6-2 So. Meck 8) in their 1-0 win over the Knights monday, Oct. 5.

South meck had to fight through the elements of physical and skilled competition played on a wet and muddy field that had been rained on for the better part of two weeks. Senior center back JoJo armanini, who scored the game’s only goal in the win over ardrey kell, strained his hip flexor during the match, but later returned to action.

white said injuries are always a concern, but added his team will have to suffer some nights.

“I knew it was going to be a grind for us,” white said. “I’m very proud of them. I told them they grew some tonight. we’re getting closer and closer to where we want to be. There is an ultimate goal, but we’ve got many goals before that.”

Senior forward/midfielder marco Garcia leads the Sabres with 22 goals this season. white called Garcia an incredible player, who isn’t a secret weapon that they can hide. he said Garcia is the focus of opposing defenses, because he’s so dangerous.

however, what often separates great teams from good teams is having more than one player capable of stepping up with a big-time performance at any time, and South meck has that. It’s a luxury that enables white to sub regularly and liberally through-out games.

“we got a couple of key guys that score the goals, but defensively we got different guys stepping up each night,” white said. “Our reserves go on and contribute. I love the fact our guys really enjoy

the roles they have.“we’re pretty deep, and we got a lot of guys that want to contrib-

ute. when they get on they take advantage of their minutes.”Junior left mid reed hunnicut, who is new to the team, is one

of those players.“reed, he’s dangerous,” white said. “we’re very fortunate to

have him, and he’s been so dangerous.”white added his bench is full of juniors, so they’ll be fine for

another year.Defensively, South meck might bend, but it doesn’t break. Its

back line is anchored by armanini and fellow senior center back, Brad Scharf.

“he’s (armanini) our leader,” white said. “he’s a captain. he’s a big deal, him and Brad Scharf. They’re our anchors. They’re what we build ourselves around. They’ve been on the biggest of stages and biggest of games and biggest of atmospheres.

“when we’re pressed on and teams attack against us we’re very capable of defending it out, getting our way out of it and not pan-icking.”

Scharf said they slide together and that they have nice chemistry in the back.

Seniors, midfielder carter walters and attacking center mid Brandon Garcia are other key components to South meck’s nu-cleus of talent.

“my role is to anchor the base of the midfield and to really dis-tribute the ball, switch the play when the play gets tight on one side and get it over to the space and also keep the other guys organized,” walter said. “Sitting more in the back I can see a lot of the field, and I try to organize my teammates.”

Garcia is the distributor, looking to facilitate the offense and cre-ate scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Garcia said last year’s team didn’t score enough, so the Sabres are trying to score as many points as possible. That hasn’t been an issue for South meck thus far. It’s averaging six goals per game and giving up only 0.5 per contest.

“we try to have fun and enjoy the game, but also every time we go out there we try to get the win,” Garcia said.

“I like my teammates. Practicing with them is the best. we’re not just a team. we’re a family. we’ve been together, most of us for three or four years. I enjoy everything about this team, from the coach to all my teammates.”

South meck will need all hands on deck if it hopes achieve its goal of winning a state championship. In the meantime, the Sabres still have a challenging slate of games left in the regular season be-fore they can begin to think about the playoffs.Dates with Providence (Oct. 13 and 26), Charlotte Catholic

(Oct. 19) and ardrey kell (Oct. 28) still remain, which is why white continuously preaches to his players they will have to suffer if they’re going to accomplish what they set out to do from the start.
