Visiting Lafayette broke the Union County High School softball team’s three-game shutout streak, but the Tigers still won comfortably, getting four RBI from Kamaya Cohen and a dominant performance from pitcher Lexi Androlevich in a 7-1 win in the May 9 Region 3-1A championship, sending the Tigers to the state tournament for the second straight year.

“It’s awesome,” Androlevich said. “It’s great to be back. We worked hard for this.”

Union (22-2) will play Chipley — a 5-4 winner over Franklin County — in a state semifinal game on Wednesday, May 17, at 2:20 p.m. If the Tigers win, they play for their first-ever fastpitch championship on Thursday, May 17, at 1:35 p.m. That game will be against either Wewahitchka or three-time defending state champ Chiefland.

The state tournament is at Historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach.

Last year, the Tigers were eliminated in the state semifinals by Wewahitchka 3-2 in eight innings. Head coach Andrew Strickland said his players are ready to taste victory at the state level. Of last year’s experience,

he said, “They got to pick an orange up off the ground, but it was sour. They want to get the sweet stuff. They worked hard to get here. They had a goal. Their

goal was to make it back, so here we are.”

Lafayette (11-17) took a 1-0 lead on Haley Ellefson’s home run in the top of the first.

Androlevich said the play didn’t bother her, adding, “She’s a great hitter. That’s going to

Tommy Hillborg has a song in his heart about his mother, but he is working to make sure others hear it as well.

Hillborg, who is from Sweden and experienced fame there as a rock star, was recently in Starke, where he stayed with friends Maxie and Barbara Norton. His

reason for this latest visit to the U.S. was to work on putting the finishing touches on a song he’s written: “A Song for Every Mother.” Hillborg spent time with Grammy winning producer and audio engineer Bruce Swedien, who has worked with the likes of Quincy Jones, Barbara Streisand and Michael Jackson.

The song has generated positive responses from those who’ve heard it, Hillborg said. He said one man in Starke told him that people would be inspired to call their mothers immediately after hearing it.

“The feeling there is so real,” the man told Hillborg.

If you talk to Hillborg, you’re left with little doubt as to how

genuine his feelings are in regard to his mother, Marguerita, who passed away approximately one year ago. He misses her and still breaks down at times while trying to talk about her.

“It was the most terrible thing I have ever gone through,” Hillborg said. “I feel sorry for everybody who loses what means more than anything else.”

Hillborg said doctors advised his mother to have an abortion when she was pregnant with him in order to save her own life. She refused, saying, “We live together, or we die together.”

“That’s why I’m here,” Hillborg said.

The incident inspired Hillborg to write a song years ago called, “I Love You Mama.” It details the decision she made and ends with the lines, “I love you, Mama, the only one I have; you are a reflection of God’s special love.”

Hillborg, who has also worked as a songwriter and producer as well as a model, has lived an interesting life, one in which his mother has always played a part. He also gives credit to friend Anders Juhlin, a Swedish photographer, for being one who helped support him emotionally and mentally, but in regard to his mother, Hillborg said, “She became the most important person in my life. She that person even today.”

***Both of Hillborg’s parents

were instrumental in his early foray in music at the age of 13. His father started a band called The Gunfighters, which was a nod to the cowboy movies Hillborg and his father enjoyed.

Hillborg’s mother, though, helped create his stage presence. She was the one who told him about an up-and-coming star in the U.S. named Elvis Presley.

Hillborg sang along to Elvis records, while his mother described Presley’s moves on stage.

“My mother told me how he performed, and I had a vision about that,” Hillborg said. “I became wild on stage. I became the rock and roll king of Scandinavia when I was 13 years old.”

He wasn’t the only one exhibiting “wild” behavior. Hillborg recalled how girls would storm the stage and grab at him. He said he went home after a show one night in 30-degree weather, missing a shoe and a sock.

Hillborg said his mother referred to him as The Quicksilver. She would stand at the stage during his performances. If Hillborg saw her chewing gum, he said he knew she approved of his performance.

However, if she was not chewing gum, Hillborg knew his performance was off. His mother would ask him after the show, “Where is The Quicksilver? Where are you, Tommy? You have to work the stage. You have to work the audience like you used to do. Remember, your smile is lifting up the whole place. Come on. I want to see your best.”

In 1970, Hillborg had the number-four song in the Swedish pop charts, which led to pressure from others to do songs that he really didn’t want to do. His music career, he said, was off and on over the years.

“I had to sing songs I really didn’t want to sing,” Hillborg said. “I felt like I was a call girl in the music field. I wanted to do rock and roll songs, and I wanted to do my own stuff. I had to sell myself in a way I didn’t really like.

“I started feeling like

everything I was doing didn’t represent who I was.”

Touring behind that number-four song led a kind of royal treatment.

“The king of Sweden sold his Cadillac Fleetwood to a company, which rented that car out to me,” Hillborg said. “I was touring around Sweden in the king of Sweden’s Cadillac Fleetwood, which was special.”

Hillborg has a variety of interesting stories to tell about his life. In 1968, he worked with Michael Treto, who would go on to become the audio engineer for Abba. He once recorded his own version of “Dream Lover,” which he said prompted Dave Plummer of Jacksonville’s Dave Plummer Productions to tell him, “Your version of ‘Dream Lover’ is better than Bobby Darin’s.”

“That was a great compliment,” Hillborg said.

While working recently with Bruce Swedien, Hillborg discovered that Swedien recorded Louis Prima’s version of “Buona Sera,” which happened to be the first song Hillborg performed on stage.

Also of note, while recording with Swedien, Hillborg said he was told he was singing into the same microphone used by Michael Jackson when he recorded “Smile.”

In 1979, Hillborg sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Muhammad Ali fight in Sweden. Hillborg said Ali told him did a great job and that then President Jimmy Carter would be proud.

Ali was not the only athlete to grace Hillborg’s life. He developed a friendship with

Throughout an interesting life, Sweden’s Tommy Hillborg has always thought of his mother

In the span of one inning, the Union County High School baseball team didn’t take advantage of its opportunities, while Williston did, with the result being a 5-0 Red Devils win over the Tigers in the District 6-1A championship game on May 4 in Fort White.

A little bit of everything happened for Williston in the top of the fifth. Besides getting

a couple of doubles, the Red Devils benefited from a couple of errors, a balk and a ground ball staying fair that appeared as if it would roll into foul territory. The overall result was a scoreless game becoming a 5-0 Williston lead.

However, the Tigers very well could’ve been on the board first, but the squandered a bases-loaded opportunity with no outs in the bottom of the fourth.

“We get a couple of bleeders

like they did, then we’ve got two or three runs on the board,” Union head coach Lamar Waters said. “That’s how close these two teams are. The fact is, they got a couple, and we didn’t. It made the difference in the ball game.”

With the win, Williston (16-8) earned the right to host a Region 3 semifinal against Lafayette on Wednesday, May 10. The Tigers had to travel to play Madison

Tigers are District 6 runners-up after 5-0 loss to Devils

the Blue Wave got their only hit of the game as Danny Dawson grounded to the shortstop, and the throw to get the lead runner at second was late.

The Indians would get the bats going again in the fourth when Lewis got another hit, this one an RBI double to left. Nate Gagnon would score during the next at-bat on a wild pitch to put Keystone up 5-1. In the bottom of the sixth, the Indians would tack on two insurance runs, one coming from another wild pitch and the other from a Josh Sheppard RBI down the first-base line.

Sheppard and Connor Osteen

combined to allow just one hit. Osteen, who pitched the last three innings, closed the show in style, striking out the side in the top of the seventh.

“It starts on the mound, but our approach has gotten better the last month of this season,” head coach Alan Mattox said after the victory. “Our plan has gotten better at the plate and I am just tickled with their work ethic.”

On his team’s postseason prospects, he said, “It’s a one-game season from here on out. We are going to have to play seven innings, pitch well and do all the little things.”

MonitorA week after the Keystone

Heights softball team won the District 5-5A championship, the baseball team added another district crown on the diamond when it defeated P.K. Yonge 7-1 on Friday night in Alachua.

Many expected a date with the host school, Santa Fe, but the Raiders were upset in the semifinals by the Blue Wave.

The championship contest, which was postponed from Thursday night due to inclement weather, took place with the winds whipping around the ballpark. As a matter of fact, the Indians’ first score came from a two-run dinger from Tyler Keaton, but the baseball got hung up in the wind. Fortunately for Keaton, he had absolutely crushed the ball, and it still had enough momentum to clear the right field fence. The shot also drove home pinch-runner Kaison Harvey, who was running for Peirson Lewis after Lewis had singled to left field earlier in the inning.

Keystone would add another run in the bottom of the second inning when Tyler Ricketts singled to left field and the Blue Wave did their best impression of the Bad News Bears. While Ricketts was stealing second, the throw would sail over the second baseman’s head, and then the center fielder would let the overthrow get by him, allowing Ricketts to come all the way around and score to make it 3-0 after two innings.

P.K. would score their only run of the game in the top of the third when Ethan Brunson hit into a double play, but a runner still scored, cutting the lead to 3-1. The third inning was also when

George Scott, a lightweight-championship boxer in Sweden. Hillborg lived with Scott for a time in Hollywood, Florida, which gave Hillborg the chance to meet famed trainer Angelo Dundee.

Hillborg produced several songs on which athletes appeared. Scott was one, while Olympic sprinters Merlene Ottey of Jamaica and Ana Fidelia Quirot of Cuba were others. Hillborg attempted to do the same with boxer Oscar De La Hoya, contacting De La Hoya’s then promoter Bob Arum, who said the boxer would love the opportunity. Before final arrangements could be made, however, Hillborg saw De La Hoya on TV receiving an award for a Latin pop album he made.

“What do I see? Oscar De La Hoya with a sombrero at the Latin American (Music) Awards, receiving a Latin American award with my idea. They stole it. I am kind of disappointed with him because of that.”

Hillborg has been featured in newspapers for various reasons, whether it was a story about how he was thinking of purchasing Liberace’s house in Los Angeles

or being photographed wearing a G-string on a beach in Daytona in 1980 because the photographer had never seen a man wear such a thing before. A “National Enquirer” type publication in Sweden examined Hillborg’s relationship with Quirot, the Cuban sprinter, while a Lake Jackson, Georgia, newspaper covered the story of Hillborg presenting his mother the gift of a horse.

He was profiled in the Nov. 28, 1996, Telegraph because he was in Graham visiting Bobby Dodd, who raises race horses. Hillborg was looking to purchase horses and receive riding lessons. He asked someone to find him a person who knew everything about horses, adding, “I don’t want it to be just anybody. It has to be the greatest one.”

“That is the reason why I met Bobby Dodd and his family,” Hillborg said. “Bobby Dodd is the king of horses in my mind.”

It was through Dodd that Hillborg met Maxie Norton. He was looking for someone in the area with a recording studio.

Thus, Bradford County has become a part of a life that several people have expressed interest in turning into a book. Hillborg said he even has a title for such a book: “Milestones of Selfishness”

“You have to be selfish to do what I’ve been doing,” Hillborg said with a laugh.

You can be sure that one prominent figure in the book will be Hillborg’s mother.

***“I’m dreaming of a wonderful

place, Stalon was my home;“My first step she took with

me, my lovely, lovely mother;“If I could live for 1,000 years;“I’ll always remember her

smile so sweet.”So starts Hillborg’s “A Song for

Every Mother.” When he thinks of his mother, he remembers the woman who was always there for him. He remembered calling her once and saying he wasn’t feeling well. He lived eight hours from her, but eight hours after she got off the phone, she was there at his door.

“I have so many stories like that,” Hillborg said.

Hillborg does not think of his father in the same way. His father wasn’t a bad man, Hillborg said, adding that he didn’t do drugs or anything like that. However, his father wasn’t there at the beginning of his life. Hillborg said his mother was 18 when she found out she was pregnant. His father, who was 27, “ran away,” though he would rejoin the family seven years later.

“He left my mother, and she

had to go through all of these things by herself,” Hillborg said. “You know, being pregnant at that time and not being married was something that was not accepted in Sweden.”

Hillborg said he could never totally accept his father. When his mother called him to tell him that his father had died, all Hillborg could say was, “You know, Mama, I’m so happy that you are alive, so I cannot feel so sorry for Daddy. I’m just happy that you are alive.”

Even though his mother is now gone, Hillborg keeps her alive in his heart and in a song that he is working so lovingly on. He hopes the song will one day touch the hearts of others, inspiring them to remember how important their mothers were in their lives.

We may think of our mothers this Sunday, but Hillborg will tell you one day is not enough.

“The way I look at the situation is every day should be a Mother’s Day because if we have a good mother, there will never ever be anything better than that,” he said.

Megan Moncrief pitched a five-hit shutout as the Keystone Heights High School softball team won a regional playoff game for the first time since 2012, defeating visiting South Sumter 6-0 in a May 3 Region 2-5A quarterfinal.

South Sumter put runners in scoring position only twice after getting two singles each in the fifth and seventh innings. The Raiders had two outs in each case, with a ground out ending each threat.

Keystone head coach Jessica Marquart said Moncrief, who gave up one walk and struck out four, is doing a good job right now of throwing strikes and trusting the defense behind her.

Against South Sumter, that defense committed no errors.

Plus, catcher Bailey Story threw two runners out attempting to steal second.

“She has a lot of confidence

right now when she’s pitching,” Marquart said of Moncrief.

County.Despite the loss, Waters said

his players had a lot to be proud of.

“This is the first time in 10 years we’ve made the playoffs in back-to-back years,” Waters said. “We’ve done a lot. We’re the only male sports team at the school to make the playoffs this year, so we’re kind of carrying the flag, I guess.”

The Tigers had to play the game without three injured starters: leadoff hitter and center fielder Taz Worrell, second baseman Dylan Thornton and shortstop Phillip Joyner.

“We had to move some people around and play them in positions they haven’t played in much,” Waters said.

Union was the first team to put a runner in scoring position, thanks to a Jarrett Shadd single and a Matthew Starling sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the third. However, Williston pitcher Joey Long, who gave up four hits in a complete-game performance, forced the Tigers to fly out and ground out to end the inning.

In the bottom of the fourth, Stephen Milner hit a leadoff single, followed by a bunt single by Seth Hendricks. Tate Worrell bunted into a fielder’s choice, with Milner sliding safely into third as the Red Devils tried to record the out there. Therefore, the bases were loaded with

no outs, but Williston’s Long recorded two straight strikeouts before getting Starling to fly out to end the inning.

Williston took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fifth after two doubles and two errors. A balk then brought in a runner from third before Ricky Vanasco hit a short, slow roller along the third-base line that the Tigers hoped would roll foul, but didn’t, putting Vanasco safely on first and bringing another run in. A pitch that got past catcher Milner allowed the game’s final run to score.

Only three Union batters had hits, with Milner going 2-for-3.

Starting pitcher Shadd gave up four hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. J.C. Lovelace finished it up on the mound, giving up two hits and one walk. He had four strikeouts.

If Union won its May 10 game, it will play for the Region 3 championship, traveling to face either Williston or Lafayette on Tuesday, May 16, at 7 p.m.

The Tigers advanced to the District 6 championship game by virtue of beating Baldwin 4-1 in a May 2 semifinal.

Ty Cook earned the win on the mound as well as driving in two runs and hitting a double. In five innings, Cook gave up just two hits. He had four strikeouts.

Lovelace and Starling went 2-for-3 and 2-for-2, respectively. Each hit a double.

Deputies arrested a Keystone Heights woman after a Highridge Estates victim claimed the woman kidnapped her dog while the victim was walking the pet on Baylor Avenue. Carole Ann Ballard, 62, of Keystone Heights was arrested May 6 by Clay deputies for unarmed robbery. According to an arrest report, the victim said she had a prior dispute with the defendant over custody of the dog: a crème and beige Pomeranian named “Prince.” The deputy responding to the May 6 robbery wrote in a report that in the previous case, the State Attorney’s Office determined the defendant came into possession of the dog after it became lost. Therefore, the office did not press charges against the defendant. According to the victim, on May 6, she was walking Prince along Baylor Avenue when a silver vehicle pulled in front of her and stopped. The defendant and two males got out of the car and called the dog over to them. “Prince, being a friendly dog, ran toward them,” the deputy wrote in a report. “The victim ran after the dog and tried to grab him. The victim fell while trying to grab her dog, as (the defendant and accomplices) surrounded her and the dog. She heard the dog yelp and cry as they snatched him up and took him in the vehicle.” The two males and the defendant then got back in the vehicle, which sped off. The victim also said that in the past, the defendant has threatened to burn the victim’s house down and take possession of the dog. The victim also provided microchip information to the lawman as proof of ownership. Before arresting the defendant, the officer obtained physical evidence of the incident and spoke to two witnesses.

didn’t show any signs of being rattled. The home run was the only hit she gave up and the only ball to travel out of the infield. She recorded 10 strikeouts and gave up no walks.

“I was just really hitting my spots and making sure I worked off the plate, keeping them off balance and working up and down,” Androlevich said.

Strickland said, “She commanded her pitches well tonight. When Lexi commands her pitches, we’re tough.”

The Hornets’ lead didn’t last long. Teala Howard led off the bottom of the first with a walk and stole second and third. Kensley Hamilton singled before Howard scored on a passed ball. After Cohen walked, Hamilton scored on a Devin Lewis ground out to put the Tigers up 2-1.

Madelyn Kish led off the bottom of the second with a single. Howard singled two outs later before Hamilton singled, scoring Kish. A Cohen double scored both Howard and Hamilton to make it a 5-1 game.

In the bottom of the fourth, Howard singled with one out and moved to second on Hamilton sacrifice bunt. Howard stole third before scoring on a Cohen single.

Howard scored four runs in all, adding her last in the bottom of the sixth. She reached on a single and advanced two bases on an error. Howard then scored on a Cohen bunt.

Cohen finished the game 2-for-2, while Howard went 3-for-3. Hamilton, Kish and Brooke Waters each went 2-for-3.

Now the Tigers hope to make the most of this year’s opportunity at state.

“Last year, we didn’t really know what to expect,” Androlevich said. “This year, we’re way more prepared.”

Shooting Sports Foundation, which is an official feeder program of USA Shooting and a path to the U.S. Olympic team.

Open to youth in fourth and fifth grade up through college, Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation provided more than $200,000 in scholarship funds the last four years to high school seniors.

“There are so many scholarships out there for Scholastic Clay Target programs,” Hildebran said.

Scholastic offers many opportunities for shooting as well, Hildebran said. Her children used to participate in 4-H shooting, but all the events are designed for attempting to qualify for state-level competition. At state, 4-H shooters are attempting to

qualify for nationals. Once a shooter qualifies for nationals, he or she cannot qualify again.

“Whereas SCTP, they have all these different shoots around the state of Florida all the time,” Hildebran.

At the Bradford group’s first-ever shoot, at Fishhawk Sporting Clays, it placed second out of seven teams. Then, at the OK Corral Gun Club in Okeechobee,

Bradford placed fourth in the JV division at the SCTP state event.

Bradford competed in the Southeast Regionals in Savannah, Georgia, on April 29-30, with two of the three squads placing ninth and 10th out of 28 teams.

Hildebran’s son, Drew, was a U.S. Jr. Olympic qualifier

Pitcher Lexi Androlevich gave up just two hits, while Kensley Hamilton and Devin Lewis drove in two runs each in the Union County High School softball team’s 8-0 win over visiting Madison County in a Region 3-1A semifinal game on May 4.

The Cowgirls’ best chance to score against the Tigers didn’t come until the top of the fifth

when two of the first three batters walked. However, Androlevich then recorded one of her three strikeouts, while a line out to Kensley Hamilton in center field ended the inning.

Union began scoring from the outset, taking a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Hamilton walked and scored on a Kamaya Cohen double, while Cohen, after stealing third base, scored on an error with two outs.

Cohen reached on an error

in the third inning. Lewis then hit her eighth home run of the season, sending an 0-1 pitch over the fence in left field for a 4-0 lead.

The Tigers added two runs in the fourth. Macey Fulgham drew a two-out walk. Following a Teala Howard single, Hamilton hit the first of her two doubles, scoring Fulgham. An error on the

play allowed Howard to score.In the sixth, Madelyn Kish

singled and advanced to second on a passed ball. After advancing to third on a Fulgham ground out, Kish scored on another passed ball. Howard, who reached on a single, scored on a double by Hamilton.

Hamilton and Howard went 2-for-3 and 2-for-4, respectively.

Tigers have no trouble advancing to Region 3 final

program. Then this past January, a Professional Sporting Clays shooter was offering lessons at Bradford Sportsmen’s Farm. Both of Hildebran’s children attended the event, which also drew Buttermore and four of the youth he coached in Marion County. Buttermore began talking about SCTP, with Hildebran then sharing that she had become certified through the NRA to become a SCTP instructor.

“From that, it blossomed into us joining together,” Hildebran said.

The four Marion County youth on the team are Randall

Buttermore, Josh Friar, Kevin Pezza and Colt Roberts.

Holden Goodwin of Bradford County is also on the team, along with Braden Roberts of Levy County.

The SCTP season runs from Sept. 1 through July 31. If anyone is interested in joining for next season, please call Hildebran at 904-364-6521 or send email to 2hildebran@gmail.com.

Bradford High School’s Jade Hines finished two spots shy of earning a medal in the long jump at the May 5-6 Class 2A Florida High School Athletic Association Track and Field Finals in Bradenton.

Hines placed 10th with a distance of 16-9.25, which left her approximately 1 foot away from taking eighth place and receiving a medal. She also competed in the 200m, placing 14th with a time of 25.68.

Meghan Harris also competed for Bradford, placing 16th in the triple jump with a distance of 33-1.75.

“She’s working ahead and not getting down in the count. That has really been her struggle this year. She has really improved that.”

The speedy Ashleigh Jennings gave Moncrief the only run she’d need to lead off the bottom of the first. Down 0-2, Jennings hit a ball that the left fielder let go off her glove. As the ball rolled to the fence, Jennings went all the way around the bases to score.

“She’s so quick,” Marquart said. “She’s just going to run, and she’s not stopping. It was exciting to see her do that in the first inning.”

In the bottom of the fourth, Kaitlyn Cline reached on an error with two outs. The error allowed her to go all the way to third before she scored on Moncrief’s bunt single.

Keystone only had two hits against South Sumter pitcher Marissa Messimore through four innings, but collected four in a four-run fifth that capped the scoring. Jennings reached on a

Keystone Heights and Union County high schools will play spring football jamborees next week.

First, Union will play at Hawthorne on Thursday, May 18, at 6:30 p.m. Newberry and P.K. Yonge will also participate.

On Friday, May 19, Keystone will play at Interlachen at 7 p.m. Crescent City will also participate.

Indians, Tigers to play in football jamborees

Stetson University senior softball player Kelsey Waters, a 2013 Keystone Heights High School graduate, received first-team ASUN All-Conference honors for the second straight year.

Waters ended this season with a .386 average, hitting seven triples and six home runs, and driving in 30 runs.

She finished her career having played 165 games, starting in 156. Waters ranks among Stetson’s all-time statistical leaders in batting average (.317), slugging percentage (.513), on-base percentage (.412), home runs (15), total bases (220), walks (67) and stolen bases (49). Her 12 career triples ranks second all-time in school history. She became just the sixth Hatter in school history to steal 30 bases in a season this year (32).

Waters earns 1st-team all-conference honors again

Hines comes up short of state medal

An editorial last week may have mistakenly led some to believe that all five county commissioners acted to oppose the development of a new RV park. Commissioner Frank Durrance supported the development, and the vote to deny the special exception application was 4-1. We apologize for the confusion.

Jennings and Rollins finished 2-for-4 and 2-for-3, respectively.
