Warriors finish season with Final Four appearance

Lawrence Academy found out just how cruel the postseason can be on Friday night. The Warriors saw a strong season come to an end, falling 3-0 in straight sets to a dominant Statesville Christian team. The loss eliminates the Warriors from the state playoffs and concludes their campaign. While it is a tough exit, it caps off a highly competitive year for the program. Lawrence Academy fought to keep points alive, but ran into a buzzsaw. Statesville Christian, now riding an 11-game winning streak, relied heavily on its veteran stars. Senior setter Jenna Simon kept the Warriors’ defense guessing with 27 assists and four aces, while senior Addison Layne took care of the net with 17 kills. Statesville Christian advances to play Halifax Academy on Saturday morning and won the N.C. Independent School Athletic Association championship. The match ended the prep volleyball careers of senior Maggie Price, Jaslene Etheridge, Carolina Halstead, Chloe Ferebee and Clair Ferebee. Lawrence finished the season 16-11 overall.

A hat trick of accomplishments

Two county commissions and a town council each had individual meetings last week and together the results of those meetings have accomplished a hat trick in the goal department. Now we’re not speaking of a Gordie Howe hat trick — a goal, an assist and a fight in one game — we’re talking about three local governmental bodies achieving major accomplishments in the same week. That’s commendable. Last week, Bertie County, Martin County and the town of Edenton, each took steps worth celebrating. Bertie County cut the ribbon on the Taj Mahal of local animal shelters, Drew Batts held a well-attended community forum in Martin County and the Edenton Town Council came steps closer to a healthy choice for residents craving new flavors at a new local grocery store. Bertie County Manager Juan Vaughan, former Assistant County Manager David Scarborough, Commission Chair Corey Ballance and the entire Bertie Board of Commissioners deserve high praise. The new animal shelter project is completed and the shelter will soon be open for business. The project had been on the drawing boards for over three years. During the time, the commission and Vaughan have come under fire on many occasions for the length of
