LEXINGTON DUO LEADS VSGA EVENT

David Brogan and J.W. Entsminger of Lexington Country Club combined for a 9-under-par 63 to claim the first-round lead Saturday in the 28th annual Virginia State Golf Association Four-Ball Championship at Two Rivers Country Club in Williamsburg.

The 1991 champions hold a two-shot lead over David Partridge and Mark Lawrence of Richmond.

On a day when 31 teams broke par on the 6,771-yard course, Brogan and Entsminger separated themselves from the field with 5-under-par play on the last six holes. Their round was highlighted by Brogan's eagle-3 on the par-5 14th hole, where he pitched in from 60 yards. Entsminger hit birdies at the par-5 16th and the par-4 18th.

Pete and Stewart Brewbaker, also playing out of Lexington, were 18th. They shot a 2-under-par 70.

In other sports around the region:

In Radford, Mother Nature won the Jesse Jones 200 at New River Valley Speedway on Saturday night.

Rain began falling on the track at 7:15 p.m., just before qualifying ended. After track officials waited for the rain to pass and tried unsuccessfully to keep the racing surface dry, the event was canceled.

Tickets from Saturday's race will be honored next week.

In Lynchburg, former Virginia Tech standouts Jon Ranthum and Ed Butterworth advanced to the men's doubles final at the Central Virginia Invitational Tennis Tournament.

The top seeds, now playing out of Richmond, rolled to three straight-sets victories Saturday. They will meet the second-seeded team of Jamie Hevron and Bryan Jones in today's final of the USTA Mid-Atlantic Section event.

In other matches Saturday involving area players, Salem's Hugh Garst dropped a 6-2, 6-1 decision to John Foster of Lynchburg in a men's 55-and-over semifinal; and Charlie Catalano of Lynchburg ousted David McCray of Roanoke 6-3, 6-4 in a men's 45-and-over second-round match.
