GASTONIA � Certainly, Hunter Huss High�s boys basketball team has offensive plays that it runs every day in practice and in each game it plays.
It�s just that for much of Monday�s 93-50 victory over North Surry in the opening round of the N.C. 2A playoffs, the Huskies didn�t need to run them.
Huss� full court trapping defensive pressure was so suffocating, Huskies coach Walt Wallace�s team rarely needed an actual offensive play to put points on the scoreboard.
Huss will hope that hot shooting � it was seven of 13 on 3-pointers as a team Monday night � when it hosts perennial power Lexington on Wednesday. Lexington (18-6) advanced with an 85-68 victory over West Wilkes.
After Kerrion Moore and O�Brian Curry hit 3-pointers for Huss� first points of the game, the Huskies� defensive pressure created one easy transition basket after another.
In the end, Huss forced 37 turnovers and that led to 44 Huskies� points. Huss� four dunks � two each by Moore and Chadrickus Mackins � both were the result of Greyhounds� turnovers.
Curry finished with a game-high 21 points � nailing five of seven 3-pointers � in his best game since injuring his wrist and ankle in a home victory over Lake Norman Charter earlier this month.
�It was nice to have him back healthy,� Wallace said of Curry.
Moore added 15 points and seven steals, Aaron Rohlman 14 points and eight rebounds, Quan McCluney nine points, Dra Potts seven points and Mackins six points and six rebounds on a night in which 13 of Huss� 15 players scored at least one point.
Huss roared ahead 31-13 after one quarter, 51-24 at the half and 70-37 after three quarters and outscored North Surry (10-13) by six or more points in each quarter.
And the Huskies� impressive effort came after last Friday�s disappointing 88-67 home loss to crosstown rival Ashbrook in the Big South 2A/3A Conference championship game � a defeat that ended Huss� four-year streak of tournament titles.
North Surry was led by Nathan Fletcher�s 19 points and Marcus Sawyers� 14.

As Sunday’s second (and final) round played out at the rain-plagued Volunteers of America LPGA Texas Classic, Denmark’s Nicole Broch Larsen likely was still upset about what happened late Saturday night. However, she did not have to fret that the penalty stroke for her rules violation cost her the chance of claiming he...
Playing the par-5 fourth hole at the Old American Golf Club outside of Dallas, the 13th of her second round and the second-to-last she would play on Saturday, Broch Larsen thought she saw her ball move after grounding her club while preparing to play a chip shot just off the green. The 23-year-old discussed the situati...
After the Rules Committee reviewed the video as well, and had further discussions with Broch Larsen, it was determined that it was more likely than not that she did cause the ball to move, and so she received a one-stroke penalty after all under Rule 18-2. She did not, however, receive a penalty for playing her ball fr...
Taking a par instead of birdie, Broch Larsen fell to six under par for the tournament when play was suspended for darkness, leaving her tied with four other players for first as they waited to finish the second round rather than being the overnight leader. Broch Larsen then played her remaining four holes on Sunday in ...
But what about last year’s decision, “The Lexi Rule,” which says that a player’s reasonable judgment will be accepted even if video shows it to be inaccurate? In this instance, video was permitted to help overturn the original ruling because that new decision (Decision 34-3/10) was meant to apply when the issue involve...
The US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, reportedly warned a group of Jewish American leaders that the removal of West Bank settlers could spark civil war, reported Israel’s Channel 10.
According to Israel’s Channel 10, Friedman “made the remarks during a meeting with a delegation from the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish American Organizations”.
According to the report, Friedman told the closed-door meeting “that a massive evacuation of Jewish settlements from the West Bank could lead to a civil war in Israel”.
The US envoy said that the approximately 400,000 settlers who live in the West Bank “are not going anywhere…and significant evacuation could result in a civil war. This is my opinion”.
According to the report, Friedman said that the Trump administration “is realistic and is not overselling the prospects of a peace deal”, but “is committed to trying to reach one”.
A spokesperson for the US embassy noted how Channel 10 based their report “upon three attendees at the conference who failed to provide much of the context behind Ambassador Friedman’s comments as well as significant additional and related remarks by the Ambassador”.
Explaining Friedman’s comment on the settlements, the spokesperson added that “the Ambassador believes that unrestrained settlement growth is not helpful for peace”.
After facing Northern Nevada’s two toughest programs in Galena and Reno High, the Carson High boys tennis team can say it has shown improvement.
Carson opened the season with two losses to Galena and Reno, but the improvement could be seen in a 17.5-5 loss to the Huskies on Thursday at Centennial Park.
“They’re a very strong team,” said Carson coach Pat Houlihan about Reno. “Actually we improved.
Carson’s wins in doubles came from Andrew Araza and John McDonald and Zach Caron and Ed Jaquette as both teams won 6-1. Todd Crowell and Dylan Stone also had an encouraging effort in a 4-6 loss.
In singles, Josh Brekken won 6-3 and Nick Weeks won 6-2. Weeks also had an impressive effort in a 5-7 loss.
Houlihan said his team’s serving continues to improve and he singled out Weeks. “Nick Weeks is serving so much better,” Houlihan said.
The highlight for the Carson High girls tennis came when Natalie Rogers defeated Reno’s No. 1 player 6-4.
Rogers also won 6-3 and Kelsey Joyce won 7-5 for the Senators other victory.

ST. ANN, Mo. - A fundraiser is being held Saturday, December 1st, at the Aldi in St. Ann to help a local food pantry that was cleaned out by thieves earlier in the week. They are taking monetary and food donations through 5 p.m.
The incident earlier in the week happened at Joan Gieson Ministries of Love. Volunteers said the thieves cleared off the shelves and took all of the meats from inside the freezer.
This metro nonprofit has fed hundreds of thousands of people in need for 60-years. Volunteers said thieves broke into their warehouse and took off with truckloads of food meant for the homeless and needy.
“When somebody steals your best you have to dig deep in what the core really is and we had to dig deep today. God we forgive them and hope they share with everybody they find and can meet,” said Joan Gieson.
Police are still investigating the incident and looking into possible surveillance footage.
For those who want to help, the ministry will be accepting donations at the Aldi in St. Ann on St. Charles Rock Road from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Baseball players don’t have to keep their cool.
They’re playing their sport at the highest competitive level in the world, and emotions run high. The best in the world playing against the best in the world — chances are they’re going to be fired up.
Umpires, however, are held to a different standard. Given the stakes of the games they’re ruling over, and given the aforementioned high tensions, umpires are supposed to be a symbol of mediation. They are expected to make the right call to the best of their ability while participating as an objective, unbiased observe...
In that regard, Tony Randazzo failed — miserably — but instead of the umpire paying the price, it’s Jonathan Papelbon who’s been served with a three-game suspension.
Look, Papelbon charged at Randazzo and, likely, made contact with the ump. For MLB, that’s a black-and-white issue. You touch the ump, you get suspended, end of story.
So while there’s no real argument against the Papelbon punishment, there is a very strong case that Randazzo himself should be penalized.
The situation was this. Randazzo had a tight strike zone in the ninth inning, though his calls for balls and strikes appeared to be the right ones. Papelbon and catcher Jason Varitek, being competitors in the heat of competition, took issue with his zone. After Cliff Pennington doubled to cut the Red Sox’ lead to just ...
Varitek departed, Papelbon continued to struggle, and the A’s tied the game at 7-7. Papelbon then started with a called strike to Ryan Sweeney. It was then that Papelbon gazed in at Randazzo, visibly frustrated by a strike call that he felt he should have gotten earlier in the inning.
Papelbon, however, regrouped. He turned his back from the plate and began preparing for his next pitch — which would have been his 30th of the outing.
But Randazzo just couldn’t handle it.
The umpire lifted off his mask and began yelling at Papelbon.
Not satisfied with just yelling from 65 feet away, Randazzo began walking toward Papelbon. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia had to play the role of peacemaker, attempting to hold back the umpire from escalating the situation.
I’ll say that again: A player had to cool off an umpire.
Saltalamacchia continued toward Papelbon to have a mound meeting, but again, Randazzo wasn’t done. He gestured with his arms at his side, prolonging a confrontation that he himself started.
It was only a matter of time before the player responded.
That Papelbon did, running at Randazzo and, obviously, earning himself a suspension. But Randazzo shouldn’t be off the hook. Just a month ago at Fenway Park, Joe West likewise overstepped his role as umpire when he put his hands on Terry Francona during an argument. While two incidents in two months may not signify a m...
It was enough to get Peter Gammons to chime in.
Gammons is absolutely right in suggesting there needs to be a closer watch on umpires. If the players are held to a high standard and are punished for inappropriate conduct, it’s only fair that umpires be held to the same regard.

Q. When is the latest I can prune plants in the landscape, especially azaleas.
A. October is the last month of the year to prune most evergreen shrubs in the landscape. Azaleas needed to be pruned before now to not interfere with spring flowering. August is when they should have been cut back.
President Barack Obama’s nominee to be the next commander of U.S. Transportation Command told the Senate Armed Services Committee today that problems in the cyber domain worry him, and that he will emphasize operations to make that domain safer if he’s confirmed.
Air Force Gen. Darren W. McDew, currently the commander of Air Mobility Command -- Transcom’s air component -- has been nominated to succeed Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who has been nominated to be the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Transcom is an almost seamless mix of active-duty and reserve-component service members responsible for global logistics. The command also is a mix of government and private-enterprise entities. Tying it together is a communications network that must be hardened against cyberattacks, McDew told the senators.
“One of the greatest threats that faces our nation is our ability to deal with the cyber threat,” he said.
Transportation Command is particularly vulnerable when dealing with commercial partners, the general said, noting that about 90 percent of the work the command does with private firms is done on the commercial networks. “That is a threat that I have got to face going forward, if confirmed,” he said.
The general told the senators he is thrilled to be nominated to be commander of Transportation Command.
