Getting to know ... Lucas Fisher

By JERRy SNOWE-J Sports Editor

ROUGHEDGEParkwood High football

coach Nelson Garner doesn’t like playing “cupcakes” - or the thought of his team be-coming one.

“We’ve got a pretty tough schedule in our eyes,” said Rowell. “We don’t want to play a bunch of cupcakes, but if we don’t start winning more games, people are going to be calling to schedule us as a cup-cake.”

The Rebels are coming off a 4-7 season, and Rowell he lost “18 of 22 starters.”

He doesn’t expect to carry more than 25 varsity players.

“We feel good about our starting 11 on both sides of the ball,” he said. “We just don’t have any depth.”

Parkwood opens the season at home against Piedmont on Aug. 20.

The Rebels whipped Pied-mont 41-7 in Unionville last season, and Rowell expects the Panthers to be looking for revenge.

Because I live in the Pied-mont community and my son goes there, I know they are

big and they’ve gotten bigger, faster and stronger since last year,” Rowell said. “It’s go-ing to be one of our tougher games. Last year we kinda had our way with them, but when you lose 18 of 22 starters you know it’s going to be tough.

“Piedmont was young last year. Now they’re more sea-soned than us.”

Parkwood’s season went off

track in a 55-21 home loss to Monroe in game two last year.

“Monroe just athletes ya to death,” Rowell said. “They lost a lot but they have a lot of tal-ent again.”

Monroe, which hosts the Rebels in week two on Aug. 27, went 11-0 in the regular sea-son last year, while Piedmont went on to a 7-5 finish.

“It’s two totally different styles we’ll see the first two weeks,” Rowell said. “Pied-mont is a bruising team and Monroe is so fast and quick.”

Also on the schedule is a trip to Mount Airy, which won the 1A state title in 2008 and then lost by a point (38-37) to Wallace Rose in the 2009 state championship game.

Parkwood finished 4-7 last year. The Rebels’ only win in the Southern Carolina Con-ference was at home against Marvin Ridge (21-20).

Rowell expects the confer-ence to be balanced again in 2010, and wouldn’t be sur-prised if the Mavericks win the league.

“I think Marvin Ridge is proably in the cat bird’s seat,” Rowell said. “I would put Sun Valley as a close second.”

Parkwood faces‘tough schedule’

Locals help Charlotte team capture national title

Rebels will be tested early by UC teams

By ALLiSON SmithE-J Intern

MONROEWhile many kids spend their sum-

mers waiting for pool days and dread-ing the countdown back to school, the 10U Charlotte Megastars Elite had a much more productive summer.

The Megastars, which includes play-ers from Union County, brought home a national championship to the area.

The 10U Elite team began their journey to Cooperstown through a grandfather, accord-ing to coach Anthony Greene.

Greene explained the grandfa-

ther invitation was based on the program’s 14U team visiting Coo-perstown Dreams park in New York when they were 10U. Upon enter-ing the tournament, 10U Megastars played six games of pool play, which seeded them for the elimina-tion portion of the tournament.

Greene said that “we were seeded based on our wins and the num-ber of runs allowed and when

we finished pool play we were ranked 14 out of 92 teams”.

They won their first game 12-1 over the Gainsville Ghosts, and their second game 6-4 against the Tinley Park Bulldogs.

The Megastars won all three of their games the next day to reach the championship game. They won their first game at 8:30 a.m., beating No. 3 seed Team Phenom 8-4. They con-tinued their roll into the afternoon, beating 11th seed Cincy Flames by scoring 13 runs. The final game of the day determined if they would enter into the Championship game, and

the Megastars pulled out an 8-5 over the second-seeded Miami Brawlers.

After days of baseball in the heat, and tired legs, the Charlotte Megastars Elite had reached the championship game against the fifth-seeded San Diego Stars North.

“The atmosphere for the boys was tremendous,” Greene said. “It is a big-time production with five cam-eras capturing views and a crowd of 5,000 people. From an adrenaline standpoint it’s a rush for the kids.”

The atmosphere was not only intoxicating for the players.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Miroslav Klose scored twice to move into a tie for second on the all-time World Cup scoring list, and Thomas Mu-eller and Arne Friedrich added goals to give Germany a resounding 4-0 victory over Argentina Saturday in the World Cup quarterfinals.

As flashbulbs popped, the Germans hugged and high-fived each other before walking around the edge of the field, sa-luting their fans.

Injured captain Michael Ballack came down to the field, watching from the bench as his teammates celebrated.

Argentina coach Diego Maradona took a slow walk to midfield, hands jammed in his pockets, while several of his players broke down in tears.

It was a surprisingly meek end for the Argentines, whose dominant run had given fans hope this might be a team ca-pable of reaching the final for the first time since 1990, when Maradona led

them on the field.Instead, it is Germany that will play

Spain in the semifinals Wednesday in Durban. This will be Germany’s third straight trip to the semis and its 12th overall — nobody has more.

The two goals give the 32-year-old Klose 14 at the World Cup, tying him with German great Gerd Mueller for second place on the all-time list.

Brazil’s Ronaldo holds the World Cup record with 15 goals.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — David Villa has millions of friends in Spain these days and two pretty good ones in South Africa — the goalposts at Ellis Park.

Villa banked in the only goal of Spain’s 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup quarterfinals off not one post, but both of them. Villa took the tournament scoring lead with his fifth goal, in the 83rd minute, setting off a cre-scendo of blaring vuvuzelas in the stadium and further cementing his status as his nation’s top player.

His goal Saturday night finished off a brilliant, three-way passing combination that typifies the way the European champions like to play. It sent Spain into the World Cup’s fi-nal four for the first time in 60 years and highlighted a cha-otic second half.

“The post wanted it to go in,” Villa said.

Now Spain faces Germany on Wednesday in Durban —

a reprise of its 1-0 victory in the Euro 2008 final.

“Every game is differ-ent,” Villa added. “I’m sure Germany isn’t happy we got through.”

One night after penalty kicks decided Uruguay’s shootout win over Ghana, they were critical in Spain’s victory as a some-what subdued match suddenly got wild in a two-minute span of the second half.

Gerard Pique pulled down Para-guay’s Oscar Car-dozo in the penalty area on a corner kick, earning a yel-low card and giving Cardozo a penalty kick.

With a stadium full of vu-vuzelas reaching a crescendo, the striker who ended his team’s shootout win over Ja-pan was denied brilliantly this time by Iker Casillas, who dived left to block Car-

dozo’s low kick.“He will know this is the

way of football,” Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino said. “This can happen. It’s impor-tant for him not to feel bad.”

Seconds later, Villa broke free behind the defense and was hauled down by Antolin Alcoraz, who drew a yellow

card. Xabi Alonso went to the pen-alty spot and sent a wicked drive into the net.

Again, the sta-dium rocked, but referee Carlos Ba-tres of Guatemala waved off the goal, saying a Spain play-

er entered the area too soon.

Given a second chance, keeper Justo Villar guessed correctly, diving left to stop the penalty kick. He also knocked the rebound away from Cesc Fabregas before de-fender Paulo Da Silva made a leg save at the goal line on an-

other shot by Sergio Ramos.After that wild sequence,

it seemed anything was pos-sible.

And for Spain, anything is possible with Villa on the field. Not only is he the Span-iards’ best finisher, but he’s a sparkplug with his darting runs and imaginative moves.

“He’s at the top of his form,” coach Vicente del Bosque said. “He’s first to the ball every time. Villa had that hunger for the goal that al-lowed him to convert.”

That goal came off the kind of attack that has carried Spain toward the top of the soccer world. Andres Iniesta surged through the Paraguay defense and passed to the right to Pedro, whose right-footed kick slammed off the goalpost.

The rebound came to Silva, and his shot hit the far post, then — amazingly — caromed across the net, off the left post and in.

Gardner, A-Rod power Yankees past JaysNEW YORK (AP) — Andy

Pettitte kept ducking down the dugout tunnel between innings Saturday, trying to find some air conditioning on a steamy summer afternoon.

When he headed inside dur-ing the third inning, he might as well have taken a nap.

Brett Gardner hit his first career grand slam and Alex Rodriguez drove in four more runs during the Yankees’ big-gest offensive outburst in five years, which took 37 minutes and carried New York to an 11-3 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.

“You want your guys to keep scoring,” Pettitte said, “but it was a long inning.”

Pettitte had to get up a couple

of times to play catch and keep warm while the scoring mer-ry go-round was in full spin. The Yankees sent 15 batters to the plate and scored all their runs during the third inning, their most prolific punch since getting 13 runs in the eighth against Tampa Bay on June 21, 2005.

“It’s baseball. It’s the only way to describe it,” Yankees man-ager Joe Girardi said, shaking his head. “Sometimes it doesn’t make sense.”

Gardner’s slam knocked Blue Jays ace Ricky Romero from the game after 2 2-3 innings, the shortest start of his career. He allowed eight of the 11 runs, the most given up by Toronto in an

inning since Kansas City also scored 11 times in the seventh on Aug. 6, 1979.

“It was just a bad inning,” Romero said. “In fact, a bad day for me.”

Pettitte (10-2) limited the Blue Jays to Jose Bautista’s two-run homer in the first and Alex Gon-zalez’s solo shot in the sixth. The 38-year-old left-hander went six innings to match CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes with 10 wins, marking the fourth time in the past 50 years that a trio of Yan-kees have reached double-digits before the All-Star break.

It was also Pettitte’s first home win over the Blue Jays since Aug. 2, 1999, and it should give Girardi a lasting impres-

sion as he helps finalize selec-tions for the AL All-Star roster, which will be announced Sun-day. Pettitte hasn’t been an All-Star since 2001.

“In years past, I thought I might have had a chance to go and I didn’t,” Pettitte said. “There’s a lot of guys deserving of it, and it’s out of my hands.”

Gardner led off the third with a single to left field. Jeter drew his second straight walk and Nick Swisher singled to load the bases for Mark Teixeira, who hit a tying, two-run double down the left-field line.

The boys in pinstripes were off and running.

Rodriguez followed with an RBI fielder’s choice, a grounder

that Romero (6-5) misplayed, and Cano hit a run-scoring sin-gle into the right-field corner.

The Blue Jays looked as though they might escape any more damage when Jorge Pos-ada flied out and Curtis Grand-erson nubbed a grounder, but he hustled down the line to beat the throw to first base. Then everything unraveled: Romero plunked Chad Huffman to load the bases again and Gardner hit a full-count pitch into the stands in right field to make it 8-2.

“I told somebody that I’ve never hit a grand slam before — Little League, high school, col-lege,” Gardner said. “I don’t hit a lot of home runs.”

National champsContinued from Page 1B

“Actually, not having experienced it myself growing up, it was surreal to live this event through my child,” said Don Coleman, the team parent. “The amount of competition and teams was incredible. The boys did so well and kept their composure. They had to play 12 games, six pool play games. We finished 14th out of 92 teams in pool play and then we had to play five games and then the title.”

Coleman said other team par-ents were overwhelmed by the experience as well.

“Ten year olds being in a stadium that holds 5,000 people,” he said. “They were playing on a profes-sional field. It was so exciting; I don’t know how to put it into words.”

The Charlotte Megastars were the lowest seed to ever win the title game, as well as the only team from

North Carolina to ever do so.Greene felt their experi-

ence gave them an edge.“Our starting pitcher, Logan

Mullis, has pitched in two national championship games and has won them both,” Greene pointed out. “He has been with the team for three years and I have learned to trust him in those high stake games.”

Mullis led the team to a previ-ous championship in the Elite 32 tournament in Orlando, Fla.

He pitched the entire title game in Cooperstown, all six innings. He al-lowed two runs, both earned, eight hits and one walk while striking out three.

Greene felt the Megastars also played good defense and got clutch hitting.

Their middle infield, consist-ing of Cameron Greene and Sam Howell, turned five double plays to set the tone for the defense.

Cameron Greene has an older brother, Jordan Greene, that is trying out for the USA National Team this week in Cary, N.C. Jordan was part

of the 14U team that finished third in the wood bat league in East Cobb.

The Megastars hit a lot of home runs on their way to the championship.

Seth Caddell set a tournament record with nine home runs for the week, teammate Josh Swatz hit five home runs for the week and Jason Odem add-ed two home runs — his second coming in the championship game with a runner on. The Megastars combined for 23 home runs on the wee,k beating the previous record at Cooperstown.

Coach Greene felt that his kids played great defense and offense overall, but that “Caddell is prob-ably the top 10-year-old in the na-tion. He is the top player that is out there. He gave a great pitching performance on Thursday morning and then closed the semifinals for us. And also hit nine home runs”.

The Charlotte Megastars won the championship game against the San Diego Stars 8-2.

In addition to Mullis’ pitching performance, Caddell, Howell, Odem,

and center fielder Ryan Dula all went 1-for-3 at the plate and Brayden Wallace went 1-for-2 to lead the Me-gastars to their national title.

For the Charlotte Megastars Elite, the road to Copperstown, the experi-ence, and the title can only be sum-marized by Coleman’s words: “It was a magnificent event, once in a lifetime.”

USA Team could have holes to fillNEW YORK (AP) — Jerry Colan-

gelo says he hasn’t been told “no” yet, though he realizes he will soon.

Injuries and other priorities could knock out many of USA Basketball’s biggest stars this summer, so Colan-gelo is lining up some college seniors to come to camp and work against the Americans.

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and others are expected to sit out, but USA Basketball’s chairman plans to have a list of 35 to 40 players available before the Americans report to Las Vegas later this month.

“What we’ll have in camp in three weeks, we think we’re going to have 25 of our people ready to practice, plus the extra guys,” Colangelo said this week.

Camp will include few, if any, of the 2008 Olympic gold medalists. James, Wade and Chris Bosh have personal business once they’re done with free agency, and Kobe Bryant may want to rest the nagging injuries he battled across the second half of last season.

Some could return when the Ameri-cans reconvene for camp in New York in early August in advance of the world championships in Turkey.

“LeBron, Kobe, Dwyane Wade, Bosh, in all probability they will not be prac-ticing or participating, but we expect

them to be around,” Colangelo said. “Or you have some questions on injuries with Kobe’s injury, Deron Williams’ in-jury, Chris Paul being available. It’s just total speculation now.”

Williams hurt his elbow in the play-offs, while knee surgery was among the injuries that sidelined Paul for 37 games last season.

There are more than 30 players on the national team roster for the three years that will culminate with the 2012 Olym-pics, so the Americans are prepared for the inevitable withdrawals that will come in the next few weeks.

But they’ll need some guys to scrim-mage against, which is where the col-lege players would come in.

Colangelo didn’t specify who would be on that list, though Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski recently said Final Four most outstanding player Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith of his na-tional championship team would be in Las Vegas.

“I think that it’s a foregone conclu-sion that a number of the guys who rep-resented us in the Olympics for one rea-son or another will not be participating probably this summer,” Colangelo said. “Many of them will not and that’s OK with us, because we have such a deep roster.”

Thome moves up to 10th on home run list

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Twins slugger Jim Thome homered in his first two at-bats Saturday to pass Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew for 10th place on the career list with 574 home runs.

Thome hit a 1-0 pitch from Tampa Bay starter Wade Davis to the opposite field in the second inning and it just barely reached the seats in left for his ninth homer of the season.

“I talked to Jim quite a bit when I was in spring training,” Killebrew said from Arizona after Thome’s first homer. “I told him, ’Don’t feel bad if you pass me up, because I passed up a lot of guys in my career.”’

Thome did just that in the fourth in-ning, hitting a no-doubter that landed in the bullpen in left-center field. The team played a previously taped message from Killebrew, one of the most beloved players in franchise history, congratu-lating Thome on the achievement.

“I’m glad he was able to hit it in a Twins uniform,” Killebrew said. “I only wish I could have been there to see it.”

Killebrew has long admired Thome, in large part because he has never been linked to the steroid scandal that has stained so many sluggers of his genera-tion. Killebrew has been an outspoken critic of steroids and their impact on baseball’s record books.

Next on the career list is Mark McG-wire with 583. The current Cardinals hitting coach admitted in the offseason to using steroids during his career.

Thome signed a one-year deal with the Twins to chase the World Series title that has eluded him in 17 years in the big leagues. He’s been a boon for Minnesota with 10 homers and 24 RBIs in just 121 at-bats.
