Thread: Let's get it started!
Let's get it started!
Well now that the draft is basically over, I just want to say good luck to everyone playing Fantasy Football this year. Since we only have 8 per division (in retrospect it should have been 10), most of the teams are pretty ridiculous. The true champs will be able to find an edge against their opponents.
Here are my official draft grades (Yah I have time)
Purplepride Division:
Webbie's Conquerors: B
Good first pick of the Edge, though I think Deuce is a little more consistent. Donovan is poised for a good year, though he can be inconsistent, and I know he didn't do much for you last season early on Webby . Fairly weak Rbs after that, though Domanick is a good 6th rounder for sure. Andre and Chad are good pick though your third wideout is a question mark, and both will have a bye the same week. Set at TE, K, and D.
Vs attack squad: B+
Ahman is a stud, as is Peyton. Stephen Davis in round 9 is absolutely ridiculous. Very solid group of Wrs, it will be interesting to see whether you start Moulds or J.Smith most of the time. Nice TE, K , D but you have no backups so you will have to release some of your stockpile of RBs during their bye weeks. Also Shockey is an injury concern.
TnT: B-
Not bad for a first draft. Can't argue with Portis or Owens. Your Qbs are decent, though they won't win you a lot of games. TJ and Warrick scared me off because on any given day neither is a starter, but they split carries almost every game. Also I foresee a problem in week 9 when they are both on bye. By then Moe won't be seeing much action. Portis is your only surefire starter. Kelly and Donte have potential all over them but Kelly doesn't get a lot of passes his way per game, Donte hasn't shown anything yet but has potential. No back up WRs? Good set of TEs, though three is too many in my opinion. Your kickers are good, on Defense there were probably better ones you could have taken, but Defense is probably the least important part of your team in this league. Bonus points for Calgary Stampeders logo.
Dauntes Domination: A
Nice Qbs, Bulger that late is a steal, he might turn out better than Hasselbeck. A stud in Alexander, and 4 strong other backs. Nice pick of Cris johnson is round 11, and Duce in 13. Amazingly strong wideouts, but what do you do for your third WR in week 4? Amazing TEs. Strong D. I know Tynes is the starter in KC, but he is fairly unproven and was he really the best option?
13th Warriors: A-
Solid group of QBs, especially considering how late they all were taken. Amazing group of RB, though I shied off Jamal because of his drug ring charges might cost him playing time in the season. Griffin was a good late round pick. Solid WRs, Kicker, TEs and D though no backup for D or Kicker? Toomer in 16 is a joke, both your TEs in 15 is also very good.
Minnesota Rednecks: B
QBs are good. Priest is a beast (Hey that rhymes ) and I think Fred Taylor will surprise some people. I don't know how effective Emmitt will be, but he is a late round pick anyway. Your Wrs are the weak point of your team, and although they are not bad, they are far from spectacular. Peerless price is probably your best one. (IS there a reason you had no 1st or 2nd round picks?). TEs are average but Baltimore is a great Defense. No kickers?!?! Though you may be picking one with your last pick.
4 DA Vikes: B, maybe a B+ if Dillon pays off.
Both QBs are very good. It will be interesting to see which one you start. Vick has been struggling with the new Offense, but his rushing TDs will really cash in. Pennington that late in the draft was an excellent pick. He should have a good year. Deuce is great, Bennett and Mewelde are interesting though I doubt they will really pay dividends, at least until Bennett gets himself healthy. Dillon is good but I don't know if he is worth a second rounder. Receivers are good, S.Smith and Coles should produce, Bruce is on the decline but serviceable, Patrick Johnson? Don't know him... maybe you know something the rest of us don't
Dallas Clark has a lot of upside, especially with Peyton throwing the Ball and Pollard phasing out. No back up? # defenses is too many, but they are all good.
Cyprus Crusaders: D, only because of Culpepper.
Sorry man I realize this is your first year, but you probably got the worst team. Culpepper is a great pick and should pay off big time, especially with the way QBs get points for rushing tds in this league. However Seneca is a third stringer who will never play and you have no Qbs in week 4. Tatum is probably your best pick at RB and that is saying a lot. The rest will not play, and if all will share the ball. I guarantee any starting back is better than a bench warmer with potential. Dwayne bates doesn't even have team and even if he did...why? Marcus may be good though his wimping through injuries is not a good sign for him to play 16 games. Koren is good, not great. No other WRs? TEs are good, I am interested in seeing how the Sauce performs this year. Josh Brown is a good kicker. Defenses are average, though Jacksonville is decent. most of all though I am wondering what you will do come week 4. Almost all of your players seem to be from the Vikes or Hawks. And you will literally have almost no team. Ah well, live and learn. Maybe Damian Anderson will break of a 1000-yard season and shut me up
PREDICTED WINNER: Dauntes Domination, but who knows?
Now The PackerHater Division aka my turf
Raped Apes: B (if you get backups, B+ if you actually made the picks yourself)
Aside from pissing me off for not making the majority of his picks...
Peyton is a stud, yet no backup? IS he so good that he can put up points even when he is not playing You have a lot of Running backs, Alexander is good but the nock on him is he is too hot/cold and is not as consistent as most would like. Darrell Jackson and S.Moss are very good W.R.s and both were picked by the draft tracker right before I wanted to pick them #%#$. Shockey and Elam and Carolina are all solid. You might want to lose some of those RBs for backups to those positions though.
NeumDogs Destroyers: A
Nice set of QBs, especially considering how late they were picked. Ahman is great, Marshall is a good #2 if he stays healthy. Deshaun and Tyrone will see limited time though. But are still pretty good since you only used a 13th and 16th pick on them. TO, Plaxico, and Mason is a very good receiving group with a decent wildcard in Fitzgerald. Jim and Kellen COULD are very good, Longwell is solid and the Pats are a great Defense
Scurvy Dogs: C (could be higher if you had missing draft picks ?)
Waiting till the 12th round to draft your 1 and only QB is generally not a recommended strategy, though Bulger will be an adequate starter. No kicker? No Backup TE or Defense. Waaaay to many WRs. Again, Griffin is a good late rounder, Portis is a stud. You are kind of missing a really solid #2 bad which is very important, though Westbrook probably will see a lot of carries. Not drafting your 2nd RB until the 10th round is a mistake in my opinion,. Still looking at your picks, Is there a reason you have no 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th or 8th picks. Did I miss some blockbuster trade where you got shafted? Nevertheless Horn and Holt can hold their own and you have a bevy of solid #3s. T.Gonz is the man and the cowboys will have a good D. No backup TE or defense and zero kickers though?!
Aus: B- (mostly because of depth mistakes and average RBs)
Took forever to make his picks, but at least he made them. Culpepper is great, but no backup QB. RBs are iffy, Duce was taken way too high. Travis Henry might be good, the other two, who I cannot even pronounce don't offer any real depth. Ward and Coles are solid at WR, your #3 is a gamble though. You have a lot of prospects that may pay of and while I respect that you probably could have gotten and established starter instead. Randy McMichael was a steal in 15. Very good kickers and defense, but no backup for your D.
Zeppelin: B+
Zeppelin was another slow drafter, (you can see how that frustrated me J ), who got some very good QBs. Why did Pennington last so long in both leagues? Anyway, Deuce and Kevin are solid RBs. Curtis is a decent pick that late. Wrs are pretty average other than Marvin who is amazing. Interesting Tes, Boo was strong late last year, maybe it might carry over. The other guy I don't know much about. 3 kickers might be excessive but they are very good. Also your defense is very good.
Everson's Empire: B
Nice QBs that were gotten late. I think there were too many good QBs to go around with only eight teams, but that is just my opinion. Rudi and Corey a both solid running backs but neither is a real star. Chris Brown is a good late round pick. Moss, Moulds and Koren are a very good staring three, but I think Tyrone Calico might not be that great a pick, I though he was injured. Decent TEs and Kickers. Picking Minnesota defense is always a gamble. You wont get many points off their points allowed but last year a lot of turnover made our D a legitimate selection.
Ellerbeck: B+
Another team that constantly took their time and swiped the players I wanted right before me J. Vick is a risk but could pay off, Plummer is also a question mark but should be improved on last year. Edge and Jamal is a very good base of RBs (byes are the same week though!), though Eddie George and Kevin Jones don't inspire the most confidence. I think Andre Johnson and Chad Johnson will have great years, Donte I am not so sure of and Kevin Dyson will be terrible in San Diego. Heap and Akers are excellent, eagles are good at D, but you have no backup.
And finally me…
Steamin Willie Beamins: A+ (hehe)
Seriously, how in they hell did I get Priest Holmes with the 14 ht pick of the first round and Ladanian Tomlinson in the second round. These guys should be going 1 and 2 OVERALL. I still have nightmares of LT lighting me up with 70-yard TD reception (which are worth 2 or 3 times more points for a RB) last season. Donovan is a very good QB especially if he gets me rushing TDs, he should be improved with T.O. Brett Farve I got dirt-cheap for a guy who led he league in TDs last year. Stephen Davis should have been gone by the 9th round and Domanick Davis should improve on his Rookie season. Those two could start on their own for most teams. My WRs have no marquee players but all 5 are solid, with S.Smith, Chambers and Peerless will probably start. Though Amani I got dirt cheap, and Bruce is OK. Alge went to the Probowl last year without Mike Vick throwing him the ball for most the season and Daniel Graham should breakout this season. Both my kickers are decent, though I never put to much weight in the kickers anyway. I only have 1 defense, but Miami is all right. I will have to pick up another for the bye week.
Division winner: ME J (seriously Priest AND LT, I was crying for joy)
Anyway I am too lazy to proofread this though I am sure I said "solid†and "good†about 100 times (I am too lazy to get a thesaurus)
Just want to say good luck on the season and if you are interested in trading, it never hurts to ask.

First off I had it on autodraft so I didn't draft the team....
And I'm not starting Moulds or Smith at WR. I will be starting Hines Ward and Marvin Harrison.
I'm gonna worry about depth at PK and D team once that time comes around.

Good God man...you got LT and Priest??? I don't think I've seen a draft this year or any year where that has happened. No offense to the others in your league but they need a serious head slap."Meet at the quarterback!" -Purple People Eaters
Let's get it started!
Alot of this was based on the fact that I thought you had 3 starting WRs (like last year), so that was my fault.
And of course casper a good waiver wire player can singlehandedly win the division based on that alone. I was just grading how people drafted. Just my opinion.

Yeah mine is not the greatest, but in my defense I had no idea what I was doing! I did drop one of my TE's to pick up another QB, as I realized after drafting them that they have the same bye week.

Lawn Ibirapuera Auditorium (Gramado Auditório Ibirapuera)
The World > South America > Brazil > Sao Paulo

Overview and History
Sao Paulo is the biggest city both in Brazil and the southern hemisphere, even bigger than Rio. It's mega-sprawling like Los Angeles. By some estimates Sao Paulo has 27 million people, surpassed only by Tokyo. If Godzilla would only win for once, Sao Paulo might become THE biggest city. Whoa!
Sao Paulo is the financial center of South America, and in turn its center is the stock exchange downtown on Paulista Avenue. Here's the 1892 viaduct linking the old downtown with what later became the new downtown.
Sao Paulo was founded by Jesuit missionaries in 1554. The economy here began with coffee exports from plantations worked first by slaves and then by European immigrants. The Mansion of Rosas, from 1930, is one of the last big ones built during the wealthy coffee period.
Brazil is part of the "Mercosul" business community,which is the Common Market of the South. This is a trade zone roughly equivalent in purpose to the EU, African Union, Asia-Paficic Economic Cooperation, or the Security and Prosperity Partnership in North America.
It snowed once, in 1918.
The city government of Sao Paulo is located inside the Palace of the Bandeirantes. The Palace is named after the legendary Bandits who fought deep into the middle of South America, to expand the territory of Brazil in the eighteenth century. Here's a look at the interior, too.
With all this commerce and activity flying around, it's natural that Sao Paulo is a huge center for business tourism. The city has the capacity to host hundreds of conventions PER DAY at any of the hotels, conference centers, sports arenas, etc. Here's an auto exhibition in the Anhembi Park Pavillion.
But there is still a lot of history to explore here, even in the middle of the high-tech world around you. Anchieta Museum was originally a school for teaching religious subjects to native Brazillians, built 1554.
The University of Sao Paulo's College of Law was founded in 1827 and is the oldest law school in Brazil. Twelve Brazillian presidents and countless other administrators have attended.
Getting There
Sao Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport is a small city all by itself. It's got 53,000 employees and the only bigger cargo hub nearby is in Mexico City, man!
Travel to the airport by bus takes about 45 minutes, you can rent a car there or park in the long term parking lots, as usual for any large airport city with 53,000 employees.
Traffic can get gnarly so allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport when it's time to leave. Remember, 53,000 people can make a decent little rush hour all by themselves.
First, some scenery with style: here's the Julio Prestes railway station now converted into a concert hall. The Station of Light or Estacao de Luz connecting with the metro system and also housing the Museum of the Portugese language. The Boiler House, a recovered industrial space now used for cultural events.
There is a metro system here but it is not as comprehensive as in a place like Tokyo. Buses are the main way to get around, along with street taxis and radio-dispatch taxis. The latter are more reliable if you're not fluent in Portugese yet.
People and Culture
Overall, Sao Paulo is the most ethnically diverse city in Brazil, and it has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan (Liberdade neighborhood).
And what do these diverse people do to celebrate? They have Carnaval!
Brazil has the best Carnavale in the world. There's no way in hell we can come anywhere close to describing it, not even with panoramas and thousands of words plane tickets caiparinhas and a jar of tiger sweat. Preparations alone go on for weeks.
It happens for 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent, when people must give up the pleasures of the flesh.
There are lots of other major events happening here throughout the course of the year.
The annual Sao Paulo gay parade attracts upwards of 1.5 million people, and it's not just a little afternoon thing. The events surrounding the parade take up an entire month with street fairs, film festivals and crazy parties. This is the world's largest LGBT event! WORLD's LARGEST!
Sao Paulo fashion week attracts designers from all over the globe, and the Festival of Electronic Art invites digital media-makers to assemble en masse and tweak parameters together.
Sports fans pay attention! The Brazillian F1 Grand Prix is on a level with the Tour de France or the Kentucky Derby in world sporting. Drivers don't love the bumpy streets but fans come out in droves to watch, and 99% of them survive.
Things to do & Recommendations
Well, you've got twelve thousand restaurants, seventy museums, two hundred cinemas, and fifty theaters to choose from.
The Municipal Theater has the distinction of being the place where Hamlet was first performed, bringing Shakespeare to Sao Paulo as of 1911.
Shopping? Check out Oscar Friere street for Godiva, Versace, Armani and all of Louis Vuitton's other friends.
After you get thirsty from carrying all those bags, dip into Campos do Jordao for a cold beer. They brew their own.
A few gallery pointers -- State Art Gallery with modern exhibits from the 19th century until now, MASP Museum of Art Sao Paulo, Tomie Ohtake Institute for gooey plastic hyper-modern stuff.
For Nature and wildlife... well I guess the rainforest pretty much wins in this category, but on your way into the jungle you can poke your head into the Sao Paulo Aquarium.
Right within the city there's some nice green space in Ibirapuera Park. Two square kilometers and it's still only the second biggest park in the city! Get ready for this list of what it contains: a planetarium, Astrophysics School, Villa de Osos Bacalao (a building shaped like a horse!!), five convention-center pavillions, Air Force Museum, Agricultural Palace, Gymnasium, running tracks, Obelisk and fourteen million blades of grass.
Cool local favorite pub: "Jazz in the Deep Ones" where you can find live music and no liquor laws.
Lastly, how many times do I have to tell you? Go up to the top of the tallest thing you can find and look around. It'll be worth more than anything you can buy.

The Deer Park wrestling team made short work of the Pullman Greyhounds on Thursday.
The Stags, who defeated West Valley 48-19 the previous day, needed only 24 minutes to take care of the Greyhounds 59-24. The win improved the Stags' Great Northern League record to 3-0.
The Greyhound match allowed head coach Matt Jorgensen to give many of the reserves varsity action. Only two varsity regulars (Dylan Miller at 170 pounds and Jason Jorgensen at 182) saw action.
Four of the Stags — Michael Learnard (126), Nathan Moore (132), Jesse Ayers (145) and Miller — registered first period pins. Matt Miller needed almost two full periods to pin his opponent, Jake Staniszewski.
In addition to the domination on the mat, the Stags also scored 24 points in forfeits.

(WMC) - Thousands of people are expected to flock to downtown Memphis on Friday for two fireworks displays. One will be on Mud Island and the other at Autozone Park.
This year, security is top of mind after two separate shootings injured two teens last year at Tom Lee Park. The fireworks are set to go off at 9:45 p.m. on Friday.
They will be set off across the way on Mud Island, but this year Memphis Police and other organizers are doing their best to make sure those are the only one kind of fireworks set off are in the sky.
"I'm hoping don't anything go like that this year. I'm hoping everything is fine and everybody gets to come out and enjoy themselves," said Tari Daniels.
Daniels has been sitting at Tom Lee Park since Friday afternoon, but she can't help but think about what happened last year.
"We're not scared. We're not scared," said Daniels.
Last year was quite the opposite, after someone fired shots into a crowd at Tom Lee Park. The shooting injured a teenager and frightened the crowd moments before the show started.
Bill Cobett remembers watching it all unfold from Mud Island last year.
"We didn't really know what was going on, but then we saw everybody running and the police sirens, you kind of figured," said Cobett.
Organizers are making safety and security a priority. They are starting with a few changes, like placing officers at Tom Lee Park, Mud Island and Beale Street Landing. They have closed Riverside Drive to traffic and closed off parking at Tom Lee Park.
"Everybody is basically walking on and everything so I don't think we'll have any problems this year," said one fireworks watcher.
All of the changes and added security are to ensure the only kinds of fireworks are in the sky.
"How many years has it been since we've had a Fourth of July that was 80 degrees and no rain. Just a beautiful day and a beautiful night. Especially when the finale goes off," said Cobett.
Last year the Memphis Police Department had more than 200 officers in the downtown area. They expect that many tonight, but say you can do some things to help yourself, including walking in groups, not leaving valuables visible in your car and not drinking and driving.

Burglars target Bradford home of pensioner
7:30am Monday 6th January 2014 in News
Police are appealing for witnesses after an attempted burglary on a Bradford pensioner's home.
Five men, one of whom was captured on a private CCTV camera, tried to break through the rear window of 76-year-old Sandra Parish's house on Haworth Grove, Heaton, between 7.45pm and 8.30pm on December 29.
Mrs Parish was not in the property at the time, but neighbours were disturbed by the noise and called the police before the men could get into the house.
One suspect is said to have been wearing a blue Adidas bodywarmer, with another dressed in a blue hoody. The remaining three were said to have been wearing black or dark grey clothing.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said anyone with any information on the incident should contact the North Bradford Neighbourhood Police Team on 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on on 0800 555111.

As one of Oxford's younger colleges, Mansfield's current level of endowment means that it is very vulnerable to external economic forces. In these times of financial uncertainty for higher education, it is vital that the College is in a position to deliver the same outstanding educational experience enjoyed by so many.
Making a legacy to Mansfield is a lasting way to assist the College in realising its vision for the future. Many Old Members have asked us to make available to them information about leaving a legacy to Mansfield, so that when they come to think about providing for their family, friends and the causes important to them, they can also provide for the future of the College.
The wishes of our donors are always of the utmost importance to Mansfield, and this is especially true for benefactions. It would be a pleasure to discuss with you, in complete confidence, whether there are any particular areas of the College's work to which you would like your bequest directed; and also how Mansfield can most suitably recognise your generosity.
A PDF version of our Legacy Brochure is available below, along with a Pledge Form and information on making your Will.
The Glover Society is Mansfield College's means of expressing its gratitude to those who have chosen to make a provision for the College in their Will.
Society Members will receive information on key changes in relevant tax laws, on issues affecting the College, on how best to make a legacy gift, and more. From Mansfield's perspective, the Society provides a further point of contact with our alumni.
Members of the Glover Society will receive invitations to a number of College events, including the annual Glover Society lunch at Mansfield.
Sarah Glover was the sister of George and Elizabeth Mansfield, after whom the College is named. Born in 1767, Mrs Glover's generosity and spirit of enterprise was strikingly developed. Following her death in 1853, it was said of Mrs Glover that:
'We may truly say of this excellent lady, that she seemed to attach no other value, or idea, to money, than as a means to do good. Giving was, with her, both a principle and a passion. Her donations were so large and so constant, that many persons supposed her wealth was greater than it really was. She, and they [George and Elizabeth], devoted the bulk of their fortune to that institution, which will be their noblest monument to the end of time.'

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With each passing year the world grows smaller and more dangerous. Environmental changes alter the ecology of pathogens and create new niches; global movement of animals allows the spread of diseases that mountain ranges, deserts, and oceans previously arrested; as growing human populations intrude on the dominions of animals, what they sometimes share besides habitat is far more insidious.
Companion animals strike an extraordinary balance in our lives, as both an interface to us and a conduit to the outside world. By co-sharing our living space, we manage to defeat what nature always intended: a healthy but distant respect for our species boundaries. We share our time, our food, our quarters, and our pathogens. Some, such as ringworm, are relatively benign. Others, like rabies, kill more than 50,000 people every year.
Thus the motivation for an issue of Animals devoted to the unique relationship of diseases shared between humans and their companion animals. Manuscripts of original research should advisedly address one of the following cogent and urgent topics and focus on population-level effects: the impact of such companion animal zoonotic diseases on human society; new strategies for disease control and prevention; and how environmental changes impact disease epidemiology and spread.

Pisgah Softball Places Five on All-State Team
The Mount Pisgah varsity softball team had five players named to the Class A All-State team this week. Madison Claytor, Madison Wickline and Morgan Walters were named to the first team, while Nicole Peters and Courtney Condon were named to the second team.
"This group deserves every honor that they get. They have worked so hard during the season and the off season. All of these girls recognized contributed a great deal offensively and defensively," said Head Coach Haley Brooks. "These All-State selections gain even more respect for the entire athletic program here at Mount Pisgah. We are now a force to be reckoned with. The best part is that everyone is returning for next year!"
Claytor anchored the defense as the teams' catcher. The junior hit .371 with 32 runs scored and 31 RBIs. She was an Honorable Mention All-State selection as a sophomore.
Walters, a sophomore third baseman, hit .521 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs. She led the Patriots in all of those categories, as well as slugging percentage (.936). She also added 11 doubles and 36 runs scored to the Patriot offense.
The duo of Wickline and Peters sparked the offense at the top of the batting order. Wickline, a junior outfielder, hit .443 with a team high 43 runs scored. She stole seven bases and drove in ten runs. Peters, a junior shortstop, hit .430 with 37 runs, eight stolen bases and 11 RBIs.
Condon, a sophomore pitcher, was 15-5 on the season with a 3.36 earned run average. She pitched 112 innings, striking out 92 and allowing opponents a .220 batting average.
Pisgah, George Walton and state champion Gordon Lee each had five players on the first and second teams, more than any other school.
Pisgah finished the season 25-6 overall and 8-0 in Region regular season play. The Lady Patriots won the Region tournament and finished No. 4 in the GHSA playoffs.

Condon Named Region Pitcher of the Year; Joins Five Other Patriots on All-Region Squad
Mount Pisgah Christian School softball player Courtney Condon was named the Region 5-A Pitcher of the Year by Region coaches on Friday. Condon joined five other Patriots on the All-Region team.
Condon, a sophomore, was 15-5 on the season with a 3.36 earned run average. She pitched 112 innings, striking out 92 and allowing opponents a .220 batting average. She was also named to the All-Region squad as a freshman.
Joining Condon on the first team are Morgan Walters, Madison Wickline and Nicole Peters. Madison Claytor and Jennifer Sapp were Honorable Mention selections.
Walters, a sophomore third baseman, hit .521 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs. She led the Patriots in all of those categories, as well as slugging percentage (.936). Walters, who was a first team selection as a freshman, added 11 doubles and 36 runs scored.
Sapp, hit .320 with 24 runs and 34 RBIs on the season. The sophomore outfielder added nine doubles and three home runs.
Claytor anchored the defense as the teams' catcher. The junior hit .371 with 32 runs scored and 31 RBIs. Claytor was a first team All-Region and Honorable Mention All-State selection in 2010.
Pisgah finished the season 25-6 overall and 8-0 in Region regular season play. The Lady Patriots won the Region tournament and finished No. 4 in the GHSA playoffs. This was the second consecutive season that the team did not lose a Region game in the regular season.

Pisgah Softball Ends Season in Final Four
The Mount Pisgah softball team saw their season end on Friday with a 2-0 loss to George Walton Academy in the GHSA playoffs. The Lady Patriots (25-6) advanced to the final four teams before being eliminated.
"The trip to Columbus was a surreal experience. It was an honor to be one of the last four teams standing. I felt like we played well for three out of the four games we played, especially with this being the first time any of these girls had made it this far," said head coach Haley Brooks.
Pisgah opened the tournament with a 12-0 win over Brookstone, but were quickly sent to the losers' bracket of the double elimination tournament after a 14-0 loss to Gordon Lee. The Patriots rebounded, scoring two runs in the seventh inning to knock out Calvary Day 10-8.
"We had a break down in the Gordon Lee game that hurt us. I was very proud of the girls when they came back and battled for two games after that to make it to the final four," said Brooks
But on a rainy Friday night the Pisgah offense, which had rallied time and time again during the season, stalled and could not push across any runs. George Walton scored both runs in the 6th inning – one on a passed ball and the other on a close play at the plate.
"We were battling a couple of injuries, which made out defense a little shakier than usual. Nicole [Peters] was playing with a broken pinky on her throwing hand and Morgan Walters was playing with a shoulder problem that had been nagging her for some time. My girls showed a lot of heart and fight," Brooks said.
Earlier on Friday against Calvary Day, with the score tied 8-8 in the top of the seventh inning Morgan Walters led off with a single and advanced to second on a bunt by Courtney Condon. A bloop hit by Camille Tracy scored Walters to give Pisgah the lead. Avery White later tripled to score Tracy and give Pisgah an insurance run.
Calvary Day put their first two runners on in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Condon held the Cavaliers in check, striking out the last batter to end the game.
In the opening game against Brookstone, Pisgah cruised to a 12-0 win. The Lady Patriots got on the board early with Walters driving in a run with a first-inning double and Condon adding a sacrifice fly. In the second inning Jenn Sapp drove in two runs with a hit, Madison Claytor doubled to drive in another run and Walters caped off the inning with a home run to put Pisgah up 7-0.
The Patriots added five more runs in the third inning on RBI hits by Sapp, Walters and Condon.
"This season has been a huge success. I feel like everyone has improved and we have really grown as a team and in our faith. I feel that this season has given us the experience to climb a little higher next year," Brooks commented. "I told the girls, 'We went from Sweet Sixteen last year, to Final Four this year…we only have a little bit farther to go for next year!'"

With the score tied 8-8 in the top of the seventh inning Morgan Walters led off with a single and advanced to second on a bunt by Courtney Condon. A bloop hit by Camille Tracy scored Walters to give Pisgah the lead. Avery White later tripled to score Tracy and give Pisgah an insurance run.

Pisgah Softball Defeats Georgia Military to Advance to Elite Eight
The Mount Pisgah Christian School softball team is used to come back wins, but the Lady Patriots (23-4) had to pull out a different kind of comeback to defeat Georgia Military and advance to the Elite Eight of the GHSA playoffs. After dropping the first game of the three game series 6-4, Pisgah had to pull off two wins in a row against a gritty Georgia Military team.
"It was definitely nerve-racking after losing the first game. It's been a while since we lost, so I was nervous about how the girls were going to respond," said head coach Haley Brooks.
But as they have done all year long, the No. 3 ranked Lady Patriots responded again to adversity winning the second game 10-8. In the third game, Pisgah led 7-5 heading into the seventh inning. Playing as the visiting team, the Patriots were looking for a few insurance runs in the top of the inning, but instead exploded for 12 runs to win 19-5.
"It feels amazing to be heading to Columbus. I feel like we have been working for this for two years – it is really exciting," said Brooks.
The series finale was a close game until the seventh inning. Both team scored one run in the first and Pisgah took a 4-1 lead in the top of the second, with Jenn Sapp plating two runs with a two out hit. Georgia Military answered right back, scoring two runs to cut the Patriot lead to 4-3.
In the third inning Morgan Walters doubled and scored on two passed balls, but the Lady Dogs scored two runs to tie the score at 5-5. Also in the third inning, Courtney Condon relieved Sapp, who had started the game on the mound, and put an end to the Georgia Military rally.
Madison Wickine led off the fourth with a single and then stole second, before being driven home by Madison Claytor to give Pisgah the lead back at 6-5. The Lady Dogs had a chance to go ahead in the bottom of the fifth, when they loaded the bases with two out, but a fly ball to center fielder Wickline ended the inning.
With one out in the sixth Wickline put down a bunt hit that was fielded and thrown into right field. The speedy sophomore made it all the way around to score for a 7-5 Pisgah lead.
Then the floodgates opened for the Lady Patriots in the top of the seventh inning. Walters led off with a home run, which was followed by consecutive hits from Condon, Camille Tracy, Avery White, Alaina Grant and Nicole Peters. After Wickline struck out, Pisgah pounded out six consecutive hits including a three-run home run by Condon and triples by Tracy and White.
"The team was strangely quiet during the pregame meal on Friday," Brooks said of her team before the deciding game. "Even walking to the field they were quiet, which is unusual for them. It finally struck me that they were a focused quiet."
In the first game of the series, Pisgah jumped out to an early lead on a RBI single by Walters. The Lady Dogs responded with three runs in the second inning to take a 3-1 lead. A Walters home run in the third inning and a sac-fly by Claytor in the fourth inning tied the score.
The Patriots took the lead in the fifth inning as a Wickline infield single scored Camille Tracy. Two Pisgah errors in the sixth inning allowed three more Georgia Military runs to score, giving them a 6-4 lead. The Lady Patriots come from behind streak ended as they were not able to score again.
After a slow start in game two the Lady Patriots responded just fine to the challenge. Georgia Military jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning of the second game, but Pisgah answered in the second scoring two runs on a Wickline single and two more on a Jenn Sapp double. A Tracy three-run home run put the Patriots up 7-2.
The Lady Dogs rallied to score three runs in the fourth and three more in the sixth to tie the score at 8-8. In the top of the seventh, Claytor drove in two runs with a two out, bases loaded double to put Pisgah up for good 10-8. On the mound, Condon shut down Georgia Military in the bottom of the inning to even the series.
Pisgah will face Brookstone in the first game of the Elite Eight on Thursday, October 27th at noon. Brookstone is 26-10 and the No. 1 seed from Region 4. They defeated Johnson County in the first round and Telfair County in the second round.
"I have heard that they are a very solid fundamental team," Brooks said of the Patriots opening opponent.
The final eight teams will meet in Columbus for a double elimination tournament, which will run from Thursday to Saturday.

Condon Overcomes Illness to Help Lead Pisgah Softball
In the first round of the state playoffs last week, Mount Pisgah Christian School sophomore softball player Courtney Condon hit a second inning home run and pitched seven innings in a 5-4 Patriot victory over North Cobb Christian. In the Region championship game Condon got the winning hit in the 9th inning of an 11-10 win over Wesleyan. She also picked up the win on the mound after relieving starter Jenn Sapp in the 5th inning.
Condon has been a force this year for the Lady Patriots both on the mound and at the plate, and this week will help lead the Lady Patriots in the second round of the GHSA playoffs. But just nine months ago there were serious doubts as to whether or not Condon would ever be able to walk again, much less play softball.
In December of 2010, just two months after she was named All-Region 5-A as a freshman, Condon was diagnosed with blood clots in both legs. She spent 19 days at Eggleston Children's Hospital and endured three surgeries. At the end of the 19 days the clots were still present, but Condon was told to go home and not use her legs – relegating her to a wheelchair. The doctors were also concerned about gangrene and discussed amputation.
An Emory doctor, Lewis Martin, suggested the family look at the possibility of taking Courtney to see Dr. Patricia Thorpe in Arizona who specialized in these types of cases.
"It was an awful hard decision to take her to Arizona and subject her to more surgery and more treatment," said Felicia Condon, Courtney's mother. "There is not much history of people Courtney's age with blood clots like she had. It was a real aggressive move to take her out there."
"I wanted to go. I'd rather be safe than sorry," Courtney said. "Plus I thought it would be cool to go to Arizona."
Ultimately, Courtney did travel to Arizona and after 15 days in a hospital and three more surgeries, the blood clots were gone. But after so much time off her legs Condon still had an uphill battle to return to the diamond.
"I had to relearn how to walk," she said. Courtney endured hours of physical therapy, going from a wheelchair, to crutches and finally back to walking unassisted.
"It was a really emotional experience for me. I kept asking why this happened to me," Courtney said.
In addition to relearning how to walk, Condon learned a lot about herself.
"I learned that I took it [softball] all for granted. Softball means so much more to me now," she said.
"You can tell that her battle through all of her health issues has helped her mature in a lot of ways. She has definitely learned how precious life and the talents that we are blessed with are. I remember her telling me not too long after she returned home that she would never take softball for granted if she could just get back out on the field," said Pisgah head coach Haley Brooks. "I can see that appreciation every day at practice. There is a drive that was not quite there last year. One thing I have also noticed is the difference in her faith. She is definitely playing with a passion for something bigger than softball."
"I didn't always practice very hard," Condon admitted. "But I want to play in college now."
"I am amazed how she has been able to learn and bounce back from all the odds that were set against her. She is a determined young lady that has truly risen and conquered many challenges that would have put a lot of other athletes out of their game. She is swinging the bat better than I have ever seen her, and that is a direct effect from the focused effort at practice to make herself better. Along the same lines, she is constantly striving to extend her game on the mound, perfecting pitches and adding other things to her arsenal," Brooks said.
But it wasn't just softball that Courtney now realizes she took for granted.
"I took school for granted. It sounds weird, but I just wanted to come back to school and be back in class with my friends," she said. "I also took my family for granted. I am now much closer to my brother."
Courtney's brother Garrett is a senior at Pisgah. He plays on the varsity basketball and baseball teams.
"This experience matured her a lot. It put her more in touch with God. She used her spirituality a lot to get through," Felicia said.
But it wasn't just Courtney who grew from this experience – her family did as well. Felicia said the Pisgah community was amazingly supportive during this time. When Felicia and her husband Gary took Courtney to Arizona they had to leave Garrett at home. Felicia said they were comforted in this decision knowing that he would have so many people to watch out for him.
Felicia also said that Courtney's pediatrician Dr. Susan Traxler and her husband Dr. Malcom Traxler have been a constant source of assistance for the family. Felicia said she talks to one of the doctors almost daily.
This season Condon is 11-2 on the mound with a 2.76 ERA. Opponents are hitting .196 against her. Offensively, the middle infielder is hitting .424 with 3 home runs, 26 RBIs and 18 runs scored.
With all of her medical issues in the past Courtney and her teammates can now focus on the state playoffs. The Lady Patriots (21-3) will host Georgia Military (21-10) in the second round of the GHSA Class A playoffs on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The best of three series will begin at 2 p.m. at Pisgah's Patriot Athletic Campus, which is located at 9825 Brumbelow Road in Johns Creek.

Pisgah Rallies to Win Region Championship
After coming from behind to win their first two games in the Region 5-A tournament, the No. 2 ranked Mount Pisgah Christian School softball team rallied again to defeat Wesleyan 11-10 in 9 innings on Tuesday to win the tournament.
After being down early in the first two games, the Lady Patriots (19-3) actually jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first inning. Madison Claytor and Courtney Condon drove in runs to get Pisgah on the board.
After adding another run in the second inning, Wesleyan stormed back to get three runs in the third and five runs in the fifth. Trailing 9-6 in the bottom of the seventh Nicole Peters led off with a single, which was followed by a two-run home run by Jenn Sapp. After a double play, the Patriots were down to their last out when Condon hit another home run to tie the score.
Using the International Tie-Breaker for extra innings, Wesleyan was able to push across one run in the 8th inning on a wild pitch and a single. In the Pisgah half of the 8th inning Avery White was the runner on second and she advanced to third on a ground out. A pop-up left White on third, with two outs, but Peters chopped a single to the right side to score the run.
Condon, who came in to pitch in the fifth inning, shut Wesleyan out in the top of the 9th. In the bottom of the inning a walk to Claytor and an error loaded the bases with no one out. Once again Condon delivered at the plate hitting a single up the middle to win the game.
"This win was truly a team win. We used everybody on the roster to pull this out. Winning the Region tournament is huge for the school and our softball program," head coach Haley Brooks said after the game. "Our goal was to stay undefeated in the Region and we accomplished that by staying in the winners bracket and not allowing Wesleyan to force that 'If' game. "
On the night Condon was 3-for-5 at the plate with 3 RBIs. She also earned the win on the mound pitching five innings and only allowing three hits and one run, while striking out five.
Claytor was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Brooks also pointed to the catchers' strong defense as a huge factor in the win. No Wesleyan runners attempted to steal and Claytor did not allow a passed ball.
In addition Peters finished 2-for-5 with three runs scored and a stolen base. Sapp also scored three runs.
"We had three come from behind wins, which is obviously not how you plan on winning, however I believe that God has had his hand in every game of this season preparing us for something big. These girls - they do not quit. I have never coached a team that has been so calm and collected when behind even late in the game," Brooks said on her team's ability to come from behind. "As a coach, I know at any point in the game, no matter who the ball is hit to, or who is in the box we are never out of the game."
Brooks continued, "We are truly a unit that is well aware of the fact that we have not accomplished anything this season by ourselves. In all three games [in the Region tournament] a team prayer mid game has sparked the comeback. That is a testament to the faith and maturity of this team. I could not be more proud or more excited about the rest of the post season. I challenged our girls to play so that people can see their light (their faith) that I am witness to everyday and I am pretty sure that light was and is burning strong for all to see! "
Pisgah will host either North Cobb Christian or Eagles Landing in the first round of the state playoffs.

No. 2 Ranked Softball Team Heads to Postseason
The No. 2 ranked Mount Pisgah Christian School softball team completed the regular season on Monday with an 8-0 win over Galloway. The Lady Patriots finished the regular season 16-3 overall and 7-0 in Region 5-A play. This is the second consecutive year that Pisgah has gone undefeated in Region regular season play.
"I feel very confident about our team heading into playoffs. I feel as if the girls are focused and have a clear mission that they are looking to accomplish," said head coach Haley Brooks. "Every single player has extended their level of play this year in some way, which makes us a better team as a whole…and the chemistry that we have on the field is a coach's dream!"
Pisgah opens postseason play on Friday at Pace Academy in the Region tournament. They will face the winner of the Pace/Providence game.
Offensively, Morgan Walters is leading the team in most hitting categories. The sophomore is leading the team in batting average (.604), home runs (4), RBIs (25), slugging percentage (1.019) and on base percentage (.667).
The Patriots have two other players hitting over .500. Junior Nicole Peters is hitting .513 with 25 runs scored and junior Madison Wickline is hitting .500 with a team high 28 runs scored.
Junior catcher Madison Claytor isn't too far behind with her .456 batting average and 17 RBIs. Brooks added that Claytor's influence behind the plate has been a big factor in the team's success.
On the mound sophomore pitchers Courtney Condon and Jenn Sapp have both been dominating. Sapp is 8-1 with a 1.73 ERA. She has 41 strikeouts in 57 innings on the mound and opponents are hitting .155 off of her. Condon is 7-2 with a 2.17 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 45 innings. Opposing batters are only faring slightly better against Condon as she has a .199 opponents' batting average.
"Our defensive is a collective effort, and the girls have proven to be very versatile as we have shifted the looks of our defense throughout the year without much change in production. That is always encouraging to have a team that will do whatever it takes," Brooks added.

Pisgah Softball Starts Season Strong
The Mount Pisgah varsity softball team got their season off to a strong start by winning the Lady Tiger Invitational in Temple, Georgia. The Patriots (ranked No. 10 in class A) went 5-0 in the tournament, with two of those wins coming behind no-hitters – one by Jenn Sapp and the other by Courtney Condon. Following the tournament the team won their Region 5-A opener 13-0 over Holy Innocents.
"I am really excited about the chemistry and passion we are playing with right now. The girls are having fun and really clicking," said head coach Haley Brooks. "We seem to be seeing the ball well and playing solid defense. We are doing the small things right and using every opportunity to learn and improve! Our goal is to play as a unit, playing for God and each other, not ourselves."
Pisgah (6-1) opened the Temple tournament with a 14-0 win over Mt. Zion-Carroll. Sapp pitched a no-hitter, while Madison Wickline, Sapp, and Morgan Walters were all 3-for-3 to spark the offense. Walters also had five RBIs, while Sapp helped her own cause with 3 RBIs.
In the second game against North Murray, the Lady Patriots trailed 5-1 in the second inning. Pisgah scored one run in the third inning and four in the fourth inning to take the lead. North Murray added another run to tie it back up in the bottom of the fourth. With time expired the teams went to the International tie-breaker and Pisgah broke through for four runs to win 10-6. Wickline went 3-for-4 at the plate with two singles and a double. Madison Claytor was also 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs. Walters finished 2-for-3 with a double and four RBIs.
On the second day of the tournament the Patriots opened with an easy 17-0 win over Excel. Condon pitched a no-hitter, striking out six. Camille Tracy was perfect at the plate going 2-for-2 with a single, a double and a RBI. Wickline was 2-for-4 with three runs scored.
Pisgah cruised past Walker 13-0, with Sapp allowing two hits in five innings on the mound. She struck out five and did not walk a batter. At the plate, Sapp as 3-for-4 with two doubles and four runs driven in. Wickline again sparked the offense, going 2-for-3 with a triple and three runs scored. Claytor was 2-for-4 with a double and 2 RBIs.
In the championship game Pisgah scored in the 6th inning to break a 2-2 tie against Social Circle and held on for a 3-2 win.
Claytor led off the 6th inning with a single, which was followed by a double from Courtney Condon. With runners on second and third and one out, Avery White hit a line drive up the middle to score Claytor. Nicole Peters led the team at the plate, going 3-for-3. White finished 2-for-3, while Walters was 1-for-3 with a home run.
Against Holy Innocents, Sapp went seven innings on the mound, allowing two hits and two walks, while striking out four. She was also 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double, resulting in five RBIs. Wickline was 2-for-3 with four runs scored. Peters finished 3-for-5, while Claytor was 2-for-5 with three RBIs.

Head Coach: Haley Brooks
Softball Advances to Final Four
The Pisgah softball team saw their season end on Friday with a 2-0 loss to George Walton Academy in the GHSA playoffs. The Lady Patriots (25-6) advanced to the final four teams before being eliminated.
"The trip to Columbus was a surreal experience. It was an honor to be one of the last four teams standing. I felt like we played well for three out of the four games we played, especially with this being the first time any of these girls had made it this far," said head coach Haley Brooks.

CATEGORIES Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Box Office Predictions, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeAfter four weeks as the top movie in America, The Dark Knight finally yielded the spot to the action comedy Tropic Thunder despite the threat of boycotts. Here's the top five:
1. Tropic Thunder: $25.8 million
2. The Dark Knight: $16.4 million
3. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: $14.6 million
4. Mirrors: $11.2 million
5. Pineapple Express: $9.8 million
Four more new releases this week. Will any of them be able to knock Tropic Thunder's, um, thunder? Let's see:
Death Race
What's It All About: Jason Statham stars in this reimagining of Roger Corman's Death Race 2000. In the not too distant future prison inmates are given a chance for freedom by taking part in a brutal cross-country race that can have only one survivor.
Why It Might Do Well: The summer blockbuster season is on the wane, and since this is the only action flick coming out this week, Death Race may benefit from the public's need to see things blow up. Also, Statham does have his admirers.
Why It Might Not Do Well: You can only watch so many spectacular car wrecks.
Number of Theaters: 2,400
Prediction: $15 million
The House Bunny
What's It All About: Anna Faris plays a Playmate who is evicted from the Playboy mansion for daring to reach the ripe old age of 27. Trying to find a job in the real world, she takes a position as house mother to a sorority full of socially inept girls (though if you've seen the post-makeover shots, they clean up pretty good).
Why It Might Do Well: The similarities to Legally Blonde (House Bunny is written by the same folks) may be enough to entice some people into the theatre.
Why It Might Not Do Well: One look at the trailer, though, should convince you that this rehash failed to include any of the wit and charm of the original.
Number of Theaters: 2,600
Prediction: $11 million
The Longshots
What's It All About: Ice Cube stars as a football coach in this true story about the first Pop Warner team to have girl playing quarterback.
Why It Might Do Well: There's always room for a good underdog story (unless we're actually talking about Underdog).
Why It Might Not Do Well: This is the smallest release of the week, and for a public still looking for something similar to The Dark Knight or even Pineapple Express, this will be a tough sell.
Number of Theaters: 2,000
Prediction: $5 million
The Rocker
What's It All About: The Office's Rainn Wilson stars as a drummer who was kicked out of a hair metal band back in the 80s right before they hit it big. Now he has a chance for redemption when his nephew asks him to play with his band at the prom.
Why It Might Do Well: Wilson is a funny guy, and how can you not sympathize with this spandex version of Pete Best?
Why It Might Not Do Well: Rottentomatoes.com is reporting only 37% Fresh as of this writing, and a similarity to School of Rock is turning some critics off.
Number of Theaters: 2,700
Prediction: $10 million
Here's how I suspect next week's top five will look:
1. Death Race
2. Tropic Thunder
3. The Dark Knight
4. The House Bunny
5. The Rocker
There didn't seem to be much argument about who the top five would be, though the batting order trip up a few people. Here's how we all did:
1. Matt: 16
1. Liz: 16
2. Brent Todd: 12
2. nate: 12
2. Alex Farquharson: 12
2. Mr. R: 12
2. Gregory Rubinstein: 12
2. DarkAgair: 12
2. Ray: 12
2. Vera: 12
2. airtoast: 12
2. greatone:12
3. I Eat Robots: 11
4. Ernie: 10
5. Adam P: 8
5. Lostinafog: 8
5. Bradford Oman: 8
5. AJ Wiley: 8
5. vega: 8
5. E-Rock: 8
5. Chris: 8
6. victor de la torre: 6
So will Tropic Thunder hold onto the top spot for a second week, or will Death Race take top honors? You tell us. Post your predictions for the top five movies in the comments section below before 5:00PM Eastern Time on Friday. One point for every top five movie correctly named, two points for every correct placement, and one extra point for the top movie.

No its fine now that the group is made, I just didn't want a bunch of pms, then my box gets full, then people who wanted in cant pm me to get it.
I had to leave, but I should be back tonight and can get things sorted out by tomorrow night before the deal dies. I'll send a pm out to everyone then about what's gong on.
I will try and buy it with my US CC tonight and if I cant I'll ask Reality to fund.
I have a EU PS+ trial, but it requires a CC. I wonder if Reality can help with this as well.
Either way it should be about $12.xx for resells and 6.xx for resell depending on paypals conversion rate.
I believe Reality said the deal will be going through 12/16 so we have until tomorrow night to get this done.

35 Year-Old RHP Dempster Drawing Interest
The Los Angeles Dodgers are definitely interested in Chicago Cubs right-hander Ryan Dempster, reports Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com. It was reported earlier today that Dempster and other Cubs veterans, including Matt Garza and Bryan LaHair, are in play this summer.
Dodgers are definitely interested in Cubs' Dempster, as they were 2 years ago. Back then, he didn't want to leave, and Cubs didn't trade him— DKnobler (@DKnobler) June 12, 2012
Knobler adds that the Dodgers were interested in Dempster two years ago. At that time, Dempster didn't want to leave Chicago and the Cubs decided not to trade him.
Dempster once again figures to be a coveted commodity on the trade market and this time it is expected that the Cubs will trade the 35-year-old.
Dempster, who's in the final year of his contract, is making $14 million this season. The right-hander has posted an ERA and WHIP of 2.31 and 1.027 over his 11 starts this season.
