Former Churchland High School football player Sonny Hathaway has moved into the No. 2 center position at James Madison University after a solid spring showing.
Red-shirted as a freshman, Hathaway is now backing up starter David Bailey.
In a halftime program at the spring game Hathaway received an award as the team's most improved offensive lineman.
Averett College's Amy Cross has been named to the All-Dixie Conference tennis team after winning the No. 4 singles crown in the conference tournament at Greensboro.
Cross, a former Churchland High standout, defeated Cindy Jancso of Ferrum College, 6-2, 6-0, in the title match. Jancso had not lost a conference match in two years. Cross topped Christopher Newport's Gail Jones, 6-3, 6-3, in the semifinals.
Cross also paired with Aino Honuaners to win the No. 2 doubles as Averett claimed its second straight women's tennis crown.
Ex-Western Branch baseball player Jason Howell is in the midst of an outstanding freshman season at Dundalk Junior College in Baltimore.
He currently is batting .436. He also has six stolen bases. Howell, who is playing second base and third base for Dundalk, has been nominated as a candidate for the All-Juco team.
Says his coach, Elliot Oppenheim: ``He is my type of player. He works hard and is a great kid. He will make it.''
Howell, an All-Southeastern District second baseman, is also an honor student at Dundalk.
Alliance Christian's Farrah Coles, who gained first-team All-City honors in girls softball last year as a junior, is bidding to improve upon a near-perfect pitching record from 1994.
Coles lost only once last year in pitching Alliance to the Metro Conference regular-season and tournament titles last season. The senior righthander upped her record to 6-0 the past weekend in hurling Alliance to the Greenbrier Invitational Tournament championship.
She beat Greenbrier in the final, 10-9, scattering eight hits.
The four-man, best ball golf tournament sponsored by the Tidewater Hokie Club at Elizabeth Manor on Tuesday has openings for a limited number of players. Only 52 can be accommodated in the field.
The tourney will start at 12:30 p.m. and will be followed by a social and dinner, featuring Virginia Tech assistant football coach Billy Hite and Tech basketball coaches Bill Foster and Carol Alfano.
Yale Dolsey, co-chairman of the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament player selection committee, believes the PIT will have at least three players chosen in the first round of the National Basketball Association draft.
``We had three last year,'' pointed out Dolsey. ``This year we should have at least three, maybe four.''
