<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">OC was
pretty consistent throughout the game scoring between 12 and 14 point per

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Perhaps the key play of the game was
with 45 seconds left and only a two point difference, Jessica Pulliam stole the

moved the ball down to their end of the court where Latoria Royal was fouled
with only 10 seconds left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She made 1

throws but they weren’t needed as time ran out giving OC a well-deserved win.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After 3 years of getting individual qualifiers to State, both Oglethorpe's boys
and girls cross country teams had the honor of experiencing the State Meet this
weekend. On Friday, they previewed the State course, which was made even more
difficult this year with several leg killing hills. They woke up Saturday ready
to finish out the best season they've had collectively in several years. The
goal for the boys was a top 10 team finish and for the girls a top 20 team
finish. When it was all said and done the Boys finished 11th and the Girls
finished 18th.<br /><br />Sid Wightman once again led the charge for the boys.
Though he battled sickness all week and had a hard fall on the course, he gutted
out a 24th place finish. Behind him was Quinton Nash and Abe Tompkins finishing
in the 70s and Otoniel Padilla, Brandon Pinto, Garrett McCormack, and Ezra
Underwood. On average, the boys times were a minute slower than usual, showing
just how difficult the State course was. Though they didn't finish in the top
10, where they were ranked for much of the season, 11th out of 32 teams sure
isn't bad for a team consisting of 4 freshmen and 3 juniors. <br /><br />The girls
were led once again by the duo of Sarah Chastain and Jordan Pringle. Following
them was runner Jeri Willcox, Vivi Diaz, Natalie Doker, Brianna Basinger, and
Jojo Diaz. Like the boys times, the intimidating hills of the State course took
a bite into their times but the result was still very strong. Out of 30 teams,
the girls placed 18th. The girls will lose senior Jeri Willcox, but should
bounce back strongly next year in hopes of making it back to back State
appearances.<br /><br />Running in the OC is looking really good in the next couple
years not only for Cross Country, but track as well. For many of these runners,
soccer is right around the corner where they'll be hoping to go to State twice
in the 2012-13 school year. It's been a privilege to coach these fine
student-athletes this season and I'm very proud of all their accomplishments.
<br /><br />Until next time...<br /><br />PS. Soccer conditioning starts after

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>From Coacn Norton</strong>: The Cross Country teams have had a good couple of weeks. On
Thursday, 9/27, they travelled to Riverside Military to face off against a very
solid region opponent. In very hot conditions, the Patriots squeaked by
Riverside, beating them by a mere 2 points. Despite the victory, Riverside will
be a very real threat to the Varsity boys’ team at the Region Meet on November
1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Saturday 10/6, OC travelled to Winder-Barrow to
participate in the Winder-Barrow Invitational. The Patriots came away with their
first trophy of the season, placing second in the girls’ race. The girls were
led by Sarah Chastain and Jordan Pringle who both got medals for finishing in
the top 10. Freshmen Vivi Diaz and Jojo Diaz both had personal bests to help the
team. The Varsity boys also had some good performances on a tough course with
Sid Wightman and Quinton Nash leading the way to an 8<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> place finish
amongst 15 teams. The JV boys also did well finishing 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> amongst 11

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The Bulldogs of Harlem and the OC
Patriots pretty much fought to a stalemate in the first quarter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither team made any real defensive mistakes
which stopped both teams offense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
only highlight being a fumble that OC recovered thus stopping the Bulldogs on
the OC 14 yard line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The second quarter opened with OC on the
move but it wouldn’t take long before an OC fumble gave the ball back to Harlem
on OC’s 39.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Harlem would not
move the ball at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OC’s defense
stiffened, holding the Bulldogs to no gains and then a ten yard loss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On a third a long OC’s Will Mathis
intercepted the ball moving it up field twenty yards to the Bulldog’s 49 yard
line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

except loose yards which forced them to punt the ball back to the Patriots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dylan Pulliam received the put and ran it
back 52 yards to the Harlem 14 yard line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This in turn set up Hooper’s short touchdown run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OC went for two giving the ball to Martavious
Heard who had no problem getting across the goal line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With 2:48 left in the quarter OC was ahead
14-0.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>OC would quickly move the ball down to
the Harlem 25 when, with 33 seconds left, Hooper would find Anthony Thornton
open in the end zone for a 25 yard touchdown reception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The PAT would be no good and the Patriots
went into half time with a 20-0 lead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>OC pretty much had the game in hand from
here on out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heard would score again for
the Patriots in the third quarter but OC would also hurt themselves with an
untimely fumble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Bulldogs would put
their first points on the board but would miss their extra point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
