Adams, Martin, Shore honored
Davie sophomore Avarie Martin and freshman Gracie Shore were selected to the Winston-Salem Journal’s All-Area Girls Basketball Team, and Davie’s Lindsey Adams won co-coach of the year.
Martin, the CPC Player of the Year, averaged 12.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks. Shore, the lone freshman to make the team, averaged 8.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 4 assists.
Adams, who also got coach of the year in the CPC, led Davie to the regular-season championship and a 20-8 record.
Junior Bailey Aderhold was named honorable mention after averaging 8.1 points.
Legion meeting April 27
Registration and a meeting for the Junior and Senior Legion teams will be held at Mando Field on April 27 at 3 p.m. The registration fee is $250. The ages for Junior Legion are 14-17; the ages for Senior Legion are 17-19.
Whisenhunt is rolling
If Carson Whisenhunt keeps this up, the lefthander just might find himself in The Show before the 2025 MLB season is over.
The San Francisco Giants’ top-ranked pitching prospect threw a one-hit shutout over six innings – with one walk and nine strikeouts – in Triple-A Sacramento’s 5-0 win over Salt Lake on April 19. It was his second quality start of the season after working six scoreless innings in his second outing at Las Vegas on April 5. Known for his exceptional changeup, Whisenhunt recorded five of his nine Ks against Salt Lake with the changeup.
Hole in one for Robertson
Ed Robertson of Mocksville celebrated his first hole in one at Meadowlands Golf Club in Winston-Salem on April 19.
Robertson, Brad Collins, Andrew Yeary and Braden Williamson were playing in a captain’s choice tournament and started on No. 18. Robertson’s hole in one came on his last swing of the day, the 142-yard No. 17. The 51-year-old lefthander pulled out an 8-iron.
“It hit the green, one-hopped and it disappeared,” he said. “I said: ‘Did that go in?’ They said: ‘Hell yeah.’ I went up there and she was buried.”
