North Meck names new coaches

North Mecklenburg High School has appointed two new coaches to its staff, athletic director Kevin Wilson announced Tuesday.

Gary Workman, a longtime Central Cabarrus wrestling coach, will take over the Vikings' wrestling program effective immediately. He will have close to 25 returning wrestlers, including nine seniors, back to the program. Workman takes over for Sean Finkbeiner, who resigned in July to take a job at Raleigh's Athens Drive High.

Sean Ryan will begin fall baseball workouts as he takes over the North Meck baseball program. Ryan received a full scholarship to play baseball at Rutgers and was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies. Ryan replaces Andy Carter.

Bandys pitcher to play in All-America game

Bandy’s Hunter Harvey was selected to play in the Under Armour All-America baseball game, the Baltimore-based apparel company earlier this week.

The game, which showcases 36 of the country’s top high school players, will be played at Wrigley Field in Chicago Aug. 18. It will air at 1:30 p.m. on the MLB Network.

Harvey, a 6-foot-4 right-handed pitcher, was 8-2 on the mound for Bandys as a junior this spring. He’s the son of former MLB relief pitcher Bryan Harvey, a two-time all-star. Hunter’s brother, Kris, is a member of the Pittsburg Pirates organization.

Hough reaches state baseball semifinals

In only its second year as a program, Hough will play in the 4A regional finals after defeating I-Meck foe Mallard Creek 4-2 in the fourth round of the playoffs Wednesday.

With the game being postponed because of storms Tuesday night, the Huskies (21-10) were able to bring ace pitcher Brandon Gragilla onto the mound.

Despite being on short rest, having pitched against South Caldwell Friday, the 6-foot-5 junior left-hander, who’s 11-1 for the year, had another strong performance.

“He wanted it tonight,” said Hough coach Jimmy Cochran. “He did what he’s done all year for us.”

But Gragilla had a slow start, allowing the first Maverick batter he faced in the game, Jamel Harbison, to lead off with a triple. After the Huskies got the next two batters out, Kyle Bynum drove in Harbison to get Mallard Creek (20-9) the early 1-0 lead.

But Hough answered in its next outing, as A.J. Girting, who reached first on a walk to start the second inning, was driven in by a Nick Daddio single to tie the game.

In the top of third, the Huskies got the lead when Jared Sobo scored off a Johnny Piedmonte sacrifice fly. Daddio would go on to again score Girting.

Mallard Creek’s David Folk scored in the bottom of the inning, but Hough would add to its buffer in the fourth, when Eric Siler reached home off a Maverick error at first base.

Gragilla, whose only lost of the year came against the Mavericks, was glad to get the key win.

“It’s a great accomplishment to get this far,” he said. “Our team has done a good job. It feels good.”

Hough will face East Forsyth in the best-of-three, home-and-away state semifinal series, which begins Thursday.

“It’s amazing,” said Cochran. “I’m happy beyond belief for my guys. Last year we struggled and it wasn’t really a fun experience for our guys, but they stuck it out and came back hungry. It’s paid off.”

Hough plays Mallard Creek for spot in state semifinals

Mallard Creek, the I-Meck regular-season champion, will host the I-Meck tournament winner Hough at 7 p.m. in the fourth round of the 4A playoffs.

Mallard Creek, the conference's top seed, goes into the state quarterfinals with a 19-8 record after a tough 4-2 win on the road at Asheville T.C. Roberson Friday.

Hough also won on the road, defeating South Caldwell 3-2 Friday, heading into the game with a 20-10 mark.

Regardless of who wins Tuesday night between the two teams, the I-Meck will be represented in the regional finals. The winner will play either West Forsyth or Mount Tabor.

Davidson Day's Brown wins state titles

Wildcats wins I-Meck softball tournament title

Lake Norman, the regular-season I-Meck champs, added the conference tournament title to its impressive season Monday with a 9-7 win against Hough during a double-header at UNC Charlotte.

For a full recap, read my story in today's Observer.

Hough claims baseball tourney championship

After dropping its last three games of the regular season, Hough has turned it around and won its last three games on its way to winning the I-Meck 4A baseball tournament title.

The Huskies won the title in a close 1-0 game against Hopewell. For more, see Corey Inscoe's story on Monday's game.

Rivalry game to raise money for cancer charities

Lake Norman hosts Mooresville Tuesday night with a lot on the line, not only playing for position in the I-Meck 4A standings, but also looking to raise money to fight cancer in the Wildcats’ annual Strike Out Cancer Classic.

The game's proceeds will be donated to 24 Hours of Booty, LIVESTRONG's 24-hour cycling events that raise funds for local and national cancer charities. Charlotte's event, which will take place July 27-28, benefits the Levine Cancer Institute among other area organizations.

Both teams will wear special jerseys, featuring the 24 Hours of Booty logo, that will be auctioned off following the game. Lake Norman will wear yellow jerseys, supporting people suffering from sarcoma and bone cancers, while Mooresville will wear green, supporting those diagnosed with lymphoma.

The game, which is slated to start 7 p.m., will also have an impact in the I-Meck championship race. Mooresville, which is only one game behind first-place Hough with a 9-3 conference record, needs to win to stay in the hunt.

"We knew it was going to come down to this," said Mooresville coach Jeff Burchett. "We're set where we thought we should be. We have a chance to win it, and that's all we can ask."

 Lake Norman, which is fourth in the conference standings with an 8-4 I-Meck record, also wants to improve their position in the standings on their senior night Tuesday, but they will need some help. Hough plays Mallard Creek, which is tied for second place in the conference with a 9-3 league record, this week.

"Anything can happen," said Lake Norman coach Robert Little. "We're pulling for Mallard Creek now, unfortunately, but we've got to take care of our own business."

Hopewell shortstop gets all-state honors

The N.C. Baseball Coaches Association named Hopewell's Michael Russell to its 4A all-state team.

The shortstop had a dominant season for the Titans, recording a team-best .506 batting average to go along with 38 runs and 23 RBIs.

That performance earned the graduating senior, who will play college ball at North Carolina next year, I-Meck baseball Player of the Year honors.
