Adam Coneys knocked him in with a single up the middle. Then with 2 outs, Brad Guengerich walked, and Jared Robinson had a two run double, reaching 3rd on an error. Jared then stole home to score ACA’s fourth run of the inning.
In the bottom of the 5th, ACA added to their lead with doubles by Jared Robinson and Matt Justice, and singles by Stephen Carlson, Michael Moore, and John Berger, all with two outs.
The Lions will play #4 Metrolina Christian Academy (18-5) at noon on Tuesday.

–Veritas to host Oak Hill for second year in a row
Written on 13 May 2008 by prepalertncASHEVILLE - John Jordan, head basketball coach at Veritas Christian Academy, has secured another local game against national power, Oak Hill Academy from Virginia on November 9.
The location for the game is the Asheville Civic Center and is scheduled for 6:00.
Last year Oak Hill played Veritas at the Justice Center on the UNCA campus and won 92-66, led by 2008 Naismith National High School Player of the Year and McDonald’s All-American, Brandon Jennings who scored 38 points.
Just like last year, it is expected to be a sell-out.

–West’s Josh Moore reneges on the Navy, wants to coach high school baseball
Written on 6 May 2008 by prepalertncMILLS RIVER - West Henderson’s Josh Moore had signed to play baseball at the Naval Academy, but has reneged on the decision to pursue another school because of his desire to become a teacher and to coach high school baseball.
Moore made the decision to pull out of the Naval Academy because of the 5-year commitment of military service after his four years at the Academy. He feels that with the extra five years, he dream of being a coach would have passed him by.
He has had some interest from East Carolina, Presbyterian College and UNC Asheville.
