Jake Shewbert completed quite a change of fortunes individually at the state cross country meet on Nov. 8. The Flowery Branch junior finished fourth in the Class AAAAA race with a time of 16:37.02 in Carrollton, a year after being pushed into a tree in the woods by a fellow competitor and finishing 225th. Shewbert, who had come in 17th at state as a freshman, certainly appreciated the reversal.
