America's Leading Gay News Source
Gay man sworn in as D.C. Marshal
With more than two dozen family members and friends looking on, veteran U.S. Marshal Service official Michael Hughes was sworn in on Jan. 13 as U.S. Marshal for the D.C. Superior Court, becoming the second out gay person to hold such a position.
D.C. Court of Appeals Chief Judge Eric Washington administered the oath of office for Hughes, 44, in a courtroom ceremony crowded with well-wishers, including D.C. congressional Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D).
Norton recommended Hughes for the appointment to President Barack Obama, who placed Hughes' name in nomination for the post before the U.S. Senate last September. The Senate confirmed the appointment on Nov. 18.
"I am just so honored and privileged to be serving in this role," Hughes told the Blade after the ceremony. "This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I'm just ecstatic at this moment for the opportunity that's been afforded to me by the president and Congresswoman Norton and the whole community."
Hughes' appointment came nearly two years after Obama appointed and the Senate confirmed Minneapolis Assistant Police Chief Sharon Lubinski as the nation's first openly gay U.S. Marshal. Lubinski also became Minnesota's first female U.S. marshal.
Norton noted that Obama has granted her appointment recommendation privileges that presidents traditionally give to the senior U.S. senator of every state who is a member of the same political party as the president. Although presidents make the final decision on whom to appoint to key federal positions, they traditionally have given great weight to the recommendations of senators and, in this case, to Norton.
Hughes, a career U.S. Marshal Service official, will be in charge of overseeing the security at the D.C. Superior Court and D.C. Court of Appeals along with the safety and protection of judges. He's also in charge of the transportation and housing of fugitives and the protection of witnesses.
He told the Blade he has been active in a program that provides support for LGBT partners and family members of local law enforcement officers, including D.C. police, who lose their lives in the line of duty.

I'm going to ask you a question: Do you own any of the following items --
- A chain, used primarily to bludgeon your foes?
- A handheld crossbow, used primarily to impale your foes?
- A stick fashioned with a pointy metal top, used primarily to stab and conquer your foes?
If you answered "No" to all of the following questions you are ineligible to compete in the Colonial Athletic Association. Sorry, bros and broettes. You can't bring a lacrosse stick to a post-apocalyptic massacre.
Marisa Ingemi of our sister site In Lax We Trust (plugplugplug) floated the idea that Hofstra was maybe a little underrated in the polls. I don't think she's off-base with her position, but here's the thing: I'm not completely certain that Hofstra is going to come out of the CAA alive. This poses another interesting question: How many CAA teams are going to lose an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament simply because they have to maneuver through this league?
Let's skip that last question for now and get back to the important one: Who's going to kill who in the CAA? Right off the bat -- St. Joseph's is going to get sacrificed all season. It's going to be ugly for the Hawks this year. Like, actual-surgery-shown-on-TLC-ugly. As for the rest of the league, it's anyone's game.
Here's a table to illustrate that fact. It reflects conference record, overall record, and adjusted efficiency margin ranks. Notes and stuff follow after the jump.
Delaware | 2 | 0 | 6 | 3 | 1.8493 | 30 |
Penn State | 2 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 2.6138 | 27 |
Hofstra | 1 | 1 | 7 | 1 | 7.8631 | 14 |
Drexel | 1 | 1 | 5 | 4 | 5.3971 | 18 |
UMass | 0 | 1 | 5 | 2 | 8.4510 | 10 |
Towson | 0 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 4.2904 | 22 |
St. Joseph's | 0 | 2 | 0 | 7 | BLECH | 57 |
- Delaware: Beat Hofstra and Towson
- Penn State: Beat Massachusetts and St. Joseph's
- Hofstra: Beat Drexel, lost to Delaware
- Drexel: Beat St. Joseph's, lost to Hofstra
- Massachusetts: Lost to Penn State
- Towson: Lost to Delaware
- St. Joseph's: Stinks
So, to recap: The most efficient team doesn't have a win in the league yet (although they've only played one conference opponent); the second-worst team in the conference with regard to adjusted efficiency margin is sitting pretty at the top of the standings; and the highest-ranked team is in the middle of the league, in a deficient tie-breaker position to the school currently sitting atop the throne.
Yup. Welcome to the CAA.
Now, it's early. Really, really, really early. I'd be absolutely shocked if the league didn't come down to Hofstra and Massachusetts battling it out for the top spot. The Pride are legit and get Massachusetts and Penn State at home. Massachusetts gets Drexel and Delaware up at Garber, which should help out the Minutemen. With each getting the majority of its toughest games remaining on home soil, you'd have to think that they can get a little killing spree going when it matters most.
The team that could really throw a wrench in the works is Towson. Now, the Tigers aren't exactly world-beaters, but they aren't exactly push-overs, either. Towson gets Massachusetts and Hofstra at home, and if they can snag either or both, they'll be sitting in the driver's seat in terms of grabbing the league by the throat and making it pay for prior sins.
Is this likely? Probably not, but I also didn't expect Delaware to beat the Tigers by only a goal. At home. Weird stuff, man.
Penn State is an enigma, an enigma with an eye-patch and wielding a baseball bat. The Nittany Lions snuck by Massachusetts, but still need to go to Hempstead and Newark. They get Drexel and Towson at home, which is nice, but the jury is still out as to whether Tambroni has a team that can win the league. Penn State has certainly been through the fire -- the team is in the top-15 in terms of strength of schedule -- but there's a ton of unknowns surrounding the club. Let's stick them in that second-tier of teams that could possibly make it out alive and tab 'em as a sleeper team to move into the true contender realm.
Then there's Drexel. The Dragons have a tough road left, having to go to Penn State and to Massachusetts. That's a lot to ask, especially when you consider that they still need to play a solid Delaware team and will play Towson late in the year when the Tigers may be wounded and dangerous. So, it's not that I think that Drexel is necessarily "bad," I just think that the schedule isn't doing them any favors.

@kaymeis Are you posting your css in a css file or directly to your page?
Nothing seems wrong with the code above, so it should work fine. First things to check would be:
1. Your linking to your css file correctly (its easy to miss type the location, so double check).
2. If your css is on your web page rather then a css file, check you have put your css in the correct tags as posted above.
3. If after the above, you should check that you haven't used those classes elsewhere on the site, as you may be giving more then the one command for the same class.
4. Check you have closed the tags above these lines of code, if not that could cause the code not to work in some browsers.
5. Check the web page in question in another browser and/or use firebug etc to manually enter the styling to check your not simply seeing a cached copy of the page.
Those are things you can check without help or the need to share your full code or link, so have a look at those first :)

Bagacum (Bavay) |
The basilica of Bavay. |
Bagacum: capital of the Nervii, a tribe in northern France/western Belgium. The city is now called Bavay.
name "Bagacum" suggests that the first inhabitants spoke a Celtic
language, but it is not entirely clear when these people settled over
there. There are several Late Iron finds, but it is certainly possible
that the Romans, after exterminating the Nervii (who suffered heavily
in the battle at the river Sabis), repopulated the area. That would not
be unique: Tongeren, Cologne, and Nijmegen are other examples of towns
with no ethnic continuity from the Iron Age to the Early Roman Period. |
The position of Bagacum as a node in the network of Roman roads suggests that it was, on its present location, founded by Agrippa, who created this network in 39/38 or 20-18 BCE. From Bavay, there were straight roads to
Forum of Bavay. |
Many of these ancient roads are still in use and are called "Chaussée
Brunehaut", after the Frankish queen Brunhilda who - according to a
late legend - repaired the roads. As administrative capital of the Nervii, Bavay expanded quite rapidly. The Roman government invested much money in the city. The basilica on the forum, for example, was one of the largest of the Roman world, and it would seem that the people were loyal to the government: Nervian soldiers are mentioned as supporting the pro-Roman leader Claudius Labeo during the Batavian Revolt. The city continued to flourish. In the second century, the city had expanded to some 45 hectares. However, this attracted enemies. In 172 CE, the Chauki launched a devastating campaign against western Belgica, where the capital cities of the Morini and the Nervi, Thérouanne and Bavay, were so extensively damaged that they had to be rebuilt completely. |
Nevertheless, the city was rebuilt. It was less lucky after the defeat of the Gallic Empire. The new ruler, Aurelian, massacred many troops and transferred the remainder, allowing the Franks to sack the northern cities. Cologne was plundered, Maastricht put to the torch, Tongeren gutted, Bavay levelled to the ground. Cambrai was to be the new capital of this part of Belgica. In Bavay, only the forum area, some four hectares, remained inhabited. |

Many of the webmasters here are into search engine optimization which is marketing for free through someone else's site. This seems a perfectly okay thing to do and to improve their craft they set up this site and forum. Then some guy comes along who is marketing for free through their site and they become outraged. Now this guy will set up a site to optimize forum and newsgroup submissions and get outraged if anyone tries to market through his site.
I find this topic somewhat amusing.

LONDON - Jose Mourinho has dropped fresh hints he could be heading for the Real Madrid exit by only publicly committing to the Spanish champions until the end of the season.
Despite being under contract with Madrid until 2016, Mourinho has done little to dispute speculation that he could be back next season at Chelsea after interim manager Rafa Benitez departs.
Mourinho left Chelsea in 2007 after three trophy-filled years.
Speaking in London on Tuesday, Mourinho said: "One day naturally I have to be back ... Chelsea is in my heart as Inter (Milan) is. One day I have to be back."
Mourinho, who joined Madrid in 2010 after two years at Inter, added on Sky Sports News television that he is "very committed with ambitions for the club for the rest of the season."

Research Interests
With the global emphasis on agricultural production and food
sustainability I want to focus my research on examining the intersection of
genetic networks for seed formation with response to environmental stresses.
Seeds arise from the carpel margin meristem, a reservoir of multi-potent stem
cells, in the center of the gynoecium, or female reproductive structure of the
flower. Transcriptional regulatory hierarchies control the formation of ovules,
or seed precursors. Examination of these regulatory networks is ongoing in the
plant model organism, Arabidopsis
thaliana. Using this model system, I want to understand the role of environmental
conditions including: drought, temperature, and day length have on affecting
the levels of genes involved in this hierarchy, and ultimately how these
factors affect ovule development.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our little getaway in this mountain home. It was immaculate, comfortable, cozy, quiet and fit our needs perfectly. There was plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 small children. The house was decorated tastefully, and well stocked with everything you could need. The owners are pleasant and accommodating. We would highly recommend this home to anyone. Thank you so much Lynn and Eduard.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

My sister and our two babies stayed in the house for 2 nights while visiting our Grandmother at Highland Farms. The house was extremely comfortable and clean. The owners went above and beyond the call of duty to rent and set up two cribs for us upon our arrival. There is one large master bedroom on the ground floor (with a hug walk-in closet where we put one of the baby's cribs) and two bedrooms and a bath upstairs. We had plenty of room. Its an easy 10 minute walk on a sidewalk to Lake Tomahawk and less than a 5 minute drive into downtown Black Mountain. We would happily stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are always happy to help guests with special requests and/or needs. Again, our location is one of the best things about our Haus. So close to everything - walking or driving.

Great weekend in Black Mountain with two daughters and granddaughter spent in this lovely home. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable with everything we needed. The kitchen has all up-to-date appliances and was well stocked. We didn't stay long enough to do much cooking, but the kitchen was certainly something special, very clean and organized. However, there are too many good restaurants in the area to think about much cooking. Everything in the living area and bedrooms seemed new, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the fact that the property is located close to downtown for all our shopping, enjoying the Arts and Craft Festival and eating at our favorite restaurants. We also really enjoyed the short walk to the lake. It is an easy walk and the lake is absolutely beautiful. This is a yearly trip for us and we will certainly look forward to another visit.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: It is always delightful to know that guests appreciate Our Haus, the way we decorated and appointed it. Black Mountain is a small, quaint town blessed with dozens of wonderful restaurants and unique shopping. To be able to walk to the Lake and downtown is one of our favorite features of our location as well.

We are a busy couple who seldom get time off. We decided to take a trip to NC to get away. We had a fantastic and very relaxing time in this very well appointed home. Everything is of high quality and well taken care of. The bed was very comfortable and the warm down duvet made for a nice cozy sleep. The kitchen was well equipped to do many of our meals in the comfort of this lovely home. The location is very private yet very convenient to the town of Black Mountain. We walked into town and visited the many little shops in the area. All of the restaurants that we ate at were incredible. There is also a great cupcake store!! What a great getaway for four days. We will be back. Thanks Lynn & Eduard for providing this great home to create some more special memories!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: It is always heart warming to know guests appreciate our Haus as much as we do. Great to know about the Cupcake Shop!! A new one to us. Discovering the wonderful shops and restaurants in Black Mountain is certainly a delightful experience.

We visited Black Mountain for a weekend retreat, and instead of staying at a Boy's camp dorm, we opted for luxury at this great home nearby. It was just what we all needed to come home to each night after the outdoor conference. The soaking tub was perfect, and the house has everything anyone needs to relax, and still cook up a great meal in the evening. Thank you for such a lovely opportunity, we hope to rent the same house next year!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Many of our guests attend retreats and conferences in the area. Our Haus seems to be a comfortable choice. The quiet neighborhood lends to a peaceful get-a-way.

We had a wonderful stay at the Black Mountain Haus! The house is very warm, cozy, and inviting. Everything that would be needed is provided, and it is in a great location that is very convenient. We definitely would stay again in the future. The only thing I would note is that it is a duplex, not a house. Although this did not matter to us at all, it may be a concern to others.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, pet owners, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are pleased that our guests find everything they need in our Haus. We want to provide for all the comforts of home. While our Haus is an attached home the two are well sound proofed (new construction). Our neighbors are pleasant retirees and spend much of their time in their permanent home out of state.

Black Mountain Haus is extremely clean and handsomely decorated, not frilly or overdone. We like vacation cottages that are smaller and efficiently designed as opposed to huge and showy, so this cottage/duplex home fit our tastes. We enjoyed the modern kitchen and dining area with easy to clean surfaces and dark, rich colors and atmosphere. Yet there was plenty of natural light. Good mattresses. We appreciate the handy access to recycling bins in the garage, since we are very eco-minded. It was nice to be able to walk to Lake Tomahawk, which is well maintained and peaceful, with a variety of features. We also walked to the groovy little coffee shop, local roaster of organic beans, Dynamite Roasting Company. It adds positively to the community's good 'smell' factor. It is near Warren Wilson College, Montreat College community, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountains great variety of small shops and more. The Haus owners are conscientious about taking good care of the place and they will definitely get back with you, communicate with you honestly, etc. If you want a home base for enjoying Western NC day trips, or a calm place to relax, Black Mountain Haus is nice and hassle-free. It is part of a residential neighborhood in which there are other rental homes, but the dwellings are not crammed together, with many of the old trees still in place. Thank you.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, pet owners, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway, tourists without a car.
Owner response: We also appreciate the efficient design of our Haus. It is comfortable and uncluttered. The close location to recreation, restaurants and downtown is also well appreciated by all our guests.

Nico Nico Douga (Japanese: ニコニコ動画, which means "Smile Videos")[1] is a Japanese video sharing website well-known for its large video remixing community and the real-time display of user comments during the playback. The site was founded by Niwango, a child company of the Japanese media company Dwango. And, Hiroyuki Nishimura, the founder of the Japanese textboard community 2channel, joins Nico Nico Douga as a board member.
Launched on December 12th, 2006, the earliest form of Nico Nico Douga relied on YouTube as its video-hosting service. But as the community continued to grow in traffic and bandwidth usage, YouTube blocked access from Nico Nico Douga beginning on February 23rd, 2007. Consequently, the site was forced to shut down the service but it was relaunched as "Nico Nico Douga Y" with its own video-hosting server less than a month later in March. In May 2007, the Nico Nico Douga for mobile phone users was announced. Since August 9, 2007, "Nico Nico Douga (RC) Mobile" has serviced mobile phones of NTT DoCoMo and au. Its nickname is "Niconico" or "Nico-dō", where "nikoniko" is the Japanese ideophone for smiling.

Framed black-and-white pictures fill the lemon-yellow and terra-cotta-red walls in Fratelli's Restaurant, evoking the casual ambiance of a family dining room beside the Mediterranean. The chefs demonstrate a similar commitment to homestyle comfort by faithfully re-creating familiar Italian-American staples. Ricotta-stuffed shells bake beneath a layer of mozzarella and marinara, and marsala sauce adds an extra dose of flavor to sautéed veal loin, chicken breast, or sliced rib-eye steak. Occasional maritime influences also work their way into the menu, as in the case of the housemade crab cakes and the shrimp or scallops in a spicy red sauce made with magma-marinated peppers.
The aliment artisans at the family-owned New York Pizza Company handcraft a menu of cheesy pies, sandwiches, calzones, and salads for midday and evening escapes to the Big Apple. Dough spinners knead and toss resilient pizza bases, which are then cooked to a customizable level of crispiness in a fiery stone oven; pizza is available with either original hand-tossed or thin crust. Mozzarella, italian herbs, and scratch-made sauce festoon the famous cheese pie ($5.99–$13.99), while italian sausage and pepperoni form a meat mosaic on The Deluxe pie ($7.99–$19.99), aptly enjoyed on-site or glued to a bedroom ceiling in lieu of glow-in-the-dark stars. Fresh calzones ($7.99–$8.99) buttress the bill of fare along with hero sandwiches such as the italian hero ($7.99), which is served hot or cold to assuage crippling fears of room temperature.
When racecar lovers get together to open a pizza place, RPM Pizza is what happens. The eatery keeps it casual—customers order signature stuffed pizzas or wings slathered in sauce at a walk-up counter, and the parking lot's pit crew is clad in flip-flops. To support its "go big or go home" attitude, staff members named pizzas after their favorite sport, with specialty pies including the Checker Flag, sprinkled with pepperoni and sausage, or the Burnout, with jalapeno, honey-habanero chicken, and savory tire marks.
Though Brucci's Pizza owner Bruce Jackson was born in Syracuse, New York, his grandparents hail from Italy, and he grew up feasting on Italian recipes that had been passed down through generations. At his restaurant, the chefs follow the same timeworn recipes as his grandparents when dishing up Italian favorites with a New York–style flair. They whip up lasagna layered with meatballs and italian sausage, grill paninis, and hand-toss housemade dough for pizzas, strombolis, and calzones. Their specialty pies include the Brooklyn—topped with diced tomatoes and fresh basil—and the Syracuse Stuffer—laden with sausage, beef, pepperoni, and ham, as well as green peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
But Brucci's Pizza is more than just an eatery—it's also a gathering place. In addition to weekly specials, the three locations host regular events. The Ponte Vedra and Fruit Cove locations host a Monday kids' night, and the West Beaches location facilitates live music twice a week, played by bands that are not made up of animatronic rodents. The chefs also issue a standing challenge: if any guest can devour a double-thick, 16-inch Fuhgeddaboudit pizza—smothered in seven toppings and gobs of extra cheese—within an hour, it's on the house.
Inside Giuliano's Italian Restaurant, George Gjergj and Leonard Gjergji's family recipes guide them as they stuff shells with ricotta cheese, sauté shrimp in homemade marinara sauce, and drizzle merlot reduction onto char-grilled filet mignon. Specialty pizzas marry ingredients such as grilled chicken and pesto or sliced steak and sautéed onions. A bottomless lunch buffet brims with slices of pizza like the description of a third grader's dream job, and calzones slice open to reveal ricotta and ham.
Orhan Celeno doesn't need fancy HD televisions or designer décor to run a successful pizzeria. His talents rest upon the thin, crispy crusts of New York–style pizzas, which he tosses by hand at Vino's Pizza Grill House. Homemade marinara simmers in his kitchen's pots before dressing pizza dough and Italian pasta dishes such as manicotti and baked ziti. Add-ons such as pepperoni, pineapple, or fresh tomatoes customize pies, and the kitchen also crafts old-world desserts, filling cannoli shells with sweetened cheese and smothering zeppolis with chocolate and powdered sugar.


text: Super way too late to do any good, but you want all your shielding for signal carrying cables grounded on only one side. Not so important for speaker cables, but for low level or digital, you want it all traveling to ground in one direction ideally to one point to reduce ground loops which can cause hums. If you connect both ends, depending on ground circuit of the components, there is a chance of potential difference(voltage) which may result in more noise than the shield cancelled in the first place. This can be caused by circuit design or house wiring. Just let the shield carry its absorbed noise to one point and you don't have to worry about it. Google single point grounding or drain wires if you want a more complete explanation.

Thousands of boys and girls have taken part of the baseball and softball leagues at the Minden Recreation Complex since it's completion in 2006, and many thousands more participated in city leagues at other parks in Minden including Babb's park.
But now, some children may be turned away because a shortage of coaches.
Minden Recreation Department Director Winky Newer says he needs at least eight more coaches to support the number of kids signed up to play this year.
"We need one for boys' Dixie Youth," he said. "Two for AAA, two for AA and three ponytail coaches. We've signed up more than 500 kids in the last week."
The boys' Dixie Youth league is for boys ages 11 and 12. The AAA league is for ages nine and 10 and AA is for seven and eight year-olds. The girls' ponytail league is for girls 11 and 12 years-old.
"We've never had this much trouble getting coaches," Newer said. "We want every kid that signs up to get the opportunity to play. But without coaches, these programs can't continue to exists. Some people that coaching little league is a thankless job, but it really is rewarding."
If you would be interested in coaching one of these teams, call one of the numbers to the right or come to the tryouts Saturday at the Recreation Complex.
The Darlings, Belles, AA and Dixie Boys will tryout at 10 a.m. and the Angels, AAA, Ponytails and Dixie Youth leagues will hold tryouts at 11 a.m.
]]>SIBLEY — The Lakeside Bistineau Classic got off to a quick start Thursday.
Northwood beat Haughton in the first game, Sterlington topped Minden in Game 2 and the Lakeside fell to Sterlington in the nightcap.
Sterlington 20, Lakeside 10
"We're a young team and things kind of got out of hand," Lakeside head coach Bob Gray said. "Our kids made an some adjustments as the game went along and kept from getting ten-runned, so we managed some measure of pride. We just need to figure out our identity and figure out how we have to play to beat good teams."
Sterlington jumped out on Lakeside early, with eight runs in the first three innings. But the Warriors fought back and competed the rest of the way.
Coulson White led the Warriors with a four-for-five day at the plate. He had three singles, a double and two RBIs.
Cameron Corley singled twice and drove in two runs and Chase Woodall doubled twice and drove in a run. Luke Griffith doubled and singled and drove in a run, and Thomas Lambert and Cameron Gray both singled.
Sterlington 7, Minden High 1
Sterlington's bats started hot again in the nightcap, as they led Minden 3-0 going into the bottom of the second, when Sawyer Stephens homered to cut the lead to 3-1. But that was all the Tide's offense could muster against Sterlington starter Ross Lambert in the 7-1 loss.
Stephens also took the mound for the Tide and took the loss despite 6 2/3 strong innings. He scattered seven hits and struck out eight.
In addition to Stephens' solo home run, Turner Francis and Caleb Jones each singled twice and Austin Sumner added a single.
The tournament will continue today and run through tomorrow.

]]>The Lakeside Warriors will look to bounce back from their extra inning loss to Minden High on Tuesday, as they host their annual Bistineau Classic starting today and which will run through Saturday.
Seven teams, including Lakeside, Minden Haynesville, Southwood, Huntington, Northwood and Sterlington will take part.
]]>It was another typical Minden High/Lakeside baseball game Tuesday night at Griffith Stadium.
There was plenty of hits, good pitching, bunts, home runs, sacrifice bunts, good defense and late game heroics.
]]>Both the Warriors and Lady Warriors will be hosting their annual tournaments this week.
]]>"It was a good win, the boys played well," Apaches head coach Jonathan Hardy said. "It came down to the end when Logan Clark made an outstanding diving catch to seal the win. Franklin had two runners on, and if he hadn't made the catch, they could have cut the lead to 7-6. But he ran a long way and made the catch to end the game."
]]>The Minden Crimson Tide hosted their annual Invitational Tournament over the weekend at Griffith Stadium.
The Crimson Tide fell to North Webster, 3-2 on Friday, and then beat Natchitoches-Central Saturday afternoon before falling to Parkway, 13-11, in Saturday's nightcap.
]]>Monday 2-26
]]>Luke Griffith paced the Lakeside from the mound and the batter's box as he lead the Warriors to a victory over St. Mary's in high school baseball action.
Griffith pitched a complete game for the win, striking out eight, as the Warriors took a 7-2 win. He also went three for four from behind the plate and scored a run.
While Griffith was pulling double duty, the real offensive power of the game was Jake Gray, who went two out of four but batted in four runs.
Lakeside scored three runs in the first two innings to take a 6-1 lead. They added another run in the fifth. The Warriors racked up 12 hits and had no errors.
Lakeside slugged the ball all over the field, notching four doubles. Earning doubles were: Coulson White, Luke Griffith (with two) and Chase Woodall. Warriors with hits included: Coulson White (2), Cameron Corely (2),
Chase Woodall (1), Griffith (3), Gray (2), Thomas Lambert (1) and Chris Brantley (1). White and Woodall also contributed one RBI each.
White and Lambert each had a stolen base.
Lakeside 8,
