Mitchell: Baseball and the bonds of family
Growing up, my dad was never a catcher when he played baseball. Like me, I'm sure he could never quite get used to the idea of squatting for seven innings in protective equipment in 95-degree weather. But when his son became a pitcher, he didn't have much choice but to adjust. And so he did. For 12 or 13 years, he'd squat into position in the front yard while I threw pitch after pitch, day ...
Mitchell: Local sports worthy of recognition
It's easy to become absorbed by the compelling draw to national sports. As I sit here, hammering out this column on my keyboard, my attention is being constantly drawn away from my work to the NCAA tournament basketball game being played on TV.

Taylor: Talented senior class leading North Hall girls
Kristi House could see this coming. Maybe not to this extent, but the North Hall High girls basketball coach knew she had something special in the class of 2012. "We knew it was a special class coming in," House said minutes after advancing to the second round of the state tournament with Saturday night's 51-41 win over Pickens. "It was a good group. We realized that coming in." In middle school the current crop of ...
Taylor: Lakeview girls leave region cellar to grab state berth

Taylor: Flowery Branch girls taking nothing for granted in region tourney
The Flowery Branch girls basketball team, the No. 1 seed out of Region 8-AAAA North going into the region tournament in Loganville this week, should know better than most how important it is not to overlook any opponent in the region tournament.
Taylor: Shot blockers a force on the basketball court
Last Tuesday night, Johnson High forward Montrell McKenzie had a smile on his face that no one could wipe off.
Taylor: GHSA still has to address how to best classify wrestling programs
Last Tuesday, coaches and athletic directors from across the state converged on the Macon Centreplex to ratify the new reclassification for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years.
Mitchell: Words louder than action at some sporting events
I was seated at midcourt awaiting the tip in a basketball game between the Chestatee and Franklin County girls on Friday night for just five minutes before I had to do a double take to make sure I was in the right place.

It's over 3,400 miles to the East Hall boys basketball teams' next tournament.
Prevost: Bowl season not what it used to be
Ahh, bowl season. Don't you love it? A handful of quality bowl games leading up to the traditional New Year's Day marathon feast of college football.
