Lee Smith, a 6-foot-6, 267-pound junior, hauled in six passes for 77 yards in Slate's absence last week.

GLOUCESTER AC senior men's and women's teams have created history by winning both team titles at the county road race series. Comprising 12 races over a range of distances, and organised by the various clubs in the county, Gloucester had too much strength in depth and were convincing winners in both categories.

The worst fears for Cody Slate, the most accomplished tight end in Marshall history, were realized Tuesday: His college career is over. "Cody does have [a torn anterior cruciate ligament], so he is out for the year," MU coach Mark Snyder confirmed Tuesday. "And he's such a great kid, such a great leader. He told his mom yesterday, 'You know, I'm a captain of this team, I'm going to stick around for this team, see this thing through.' His fortitude has been unbelievable."

He is very important in bringing those guys along.  

Surrounded by a solid running game and a physical, smash-mouth defense, the Bulldogs ousted Philadelphia from the second round of the 3A State Playoffs Friday night 20-7.  

Once again a failure from the Tigers' front men to turn possession and chances into goals prevented City from escaping Marston Road with at least a point and maybe more.
