Two Dodge High Lady Indians make All-State Dugout Team
By Russ Ragan
Over the weekend, Dodge High Lady Indian Softball seniors Julianna Bellflower and Sara Lann were selected to the 2017 Georgia Dugout Club All-State team.
Both have had huge seasons, helping to lead the Lady Indians to the Elite 8 this weekend in Columbus.
Bellflower is hitting .500 out of the leadoff spot. She leads the team with a .611 on-base percentage.
She also leads the team in runs scored with 41 and 23 walks.
Lann also has a .500 batting average and she leads the team with 41 runs batted in and 14 doubles.
Her .659 slugging percentage is also tops on the team.
Coach Jennifer Bellflower’s commented on her two all-stars, “Julianna has been a leader both offensively and defensively this year! Sara has pounded on the ball this season. Super proud for both of these senior Lady Indians.”

Lady Indians to compete in state for Elite 8
By Russ Ragan
Despite making things a little interesting, the Dodge High Lady Indians Softball team has advanced to the Elite 8 in back-to-back years. They won the third and deciding game 13-0 on Thursday, after splitting a double-header against Vidalia on Wednesday winning 9-0 in game one, and then they lost by a tough 2-1 score in game two.
The Lady Indians, now 23-6 on the year, will now advance to Columbus for a Thursday date with top ranked Rockmart. The Lady Jackets are 31-2 on the year. If you recall, the Lady Indians drew top ranked Vidalia, who entered Columbus undefeated and were beat by Dodge 4-0. I expect the 3:00 p.m. Thursday matchup to be a great game.
Back to game one last Wednesday against Vidalia. The early points of the game were all about pitching and missed opportunities for both teams. Jade Dowdy got the start for the Lady Indians on the mound. She had six strikeouts through the first three innings.
Vidalia, also the Lady Indians, had three hits and a walk, but they left all four runners on base. Dodge also had their early chances. They left six in the first three innings, including the bases loaded in the third.
The Dodge offense got things going in the bottom of the fourth. Hailey Hickman and Amber Maxwell both reached on errors.
A sacrifice bunt by Jenna Hickman and a four-pitch walk to Julianna Bellflower would load the bases with one out.
Jade Dowdy would get Dodge on the board with a single that would score Hailey Hickman and Maxwell for a 2-0 lead.
A sacrifice fly from Aniyah Black would plate Bellflower, and a single by Abby Manning would score Sydney Powell, who was running for Jade Dowdy, and the Dodge lead would be 4-0.
Jade Dowdy would get an easy fifth, and Dodge would get right back to work in the bottom of the inning.
Sara Lann would lead off with a single, and she would score, as Hailey Hickman’s single would be booted and the Dodge lead would be 5-0. Hailey Hickman would score on a wild pitch for a 6-0 game. Maxwell would walk and steal second. She would score on a single by Jenna Hickman for a 7-0 Dodge lead. With two out, Jade Dowdy would hit a deep blast to left that would be a walk-off homer and a 9-0 Dodge win. Jade Dowdy was four for four, with four runs batted in (RBIs) in game one.
Vidalia would be the home team in game two. Linzy Bowen would get the start on the mound for Dodge. She would strike out the side in the first.
Dodge would get the offense started in the top of the second. Manning would single to lead off the inning. She would score on a one-out single from Lann, and Dodge would have a 1-0 lead.
The game would stay 1-0 for quite a while, despite the Dodge Lady Indians having ten hits and three walks. Bowen, meanwhile, on the mound, pitched really well, as she allowed only two hits and two walks through six innings.
Unfortunately, the game would get away from Dodge, as Vidalia would tie things up in the seventh and win it in the eighth, and game three would be forced after a tough 2-1 Dodge loss.
Vidalia would win the postgame toss, so they would be the home team in game three.
Jade Dowdy would be the starting pitcher for Dodge. There would be no score after the first, as Jade Dowdy had an easy inning.
Dodge would take advantage of a couple of Vidalia errors. Jacey Dowdy would lead off with a double and she would be replaced by the speedy Europe Brown. Lann would reach on an error to put runners on the corners with nobody out.
Hailey Hickman would give Dodge the lead on a sacrifice fly for a 1-0 game. A two-out single from Bellflower would score Lann for a 2-0 game.
That brought Jade Dowdy to the plate and once again, she hit a bomb to deep left over the fence, and suddenly, Dodge was in control with a 5-0 lead.
After a quick bottom of the second from Jade Dowdy, Dodge would increase their lead in the third.
Manning would lead off the inning by reaching on an error.
That brought up Jacey Dowdy, and she hit a screaming line drive that banged into the left field fence on the fly, and runners would be at second and third.
A sacrifice fly by Lann would score Manning for a 6-0 lead.
Vidalia would lead off the bottom of the third with a single.
It would be short lived, as Dodge would turn a beautiful double play from Black and Bellflower. Vidalia then tried out third baseman, Manning in the fourth and fifth innings. They would have no luck, as she handled all four chances without a problem and we go to the sixth with a 6-0 Dodge lead.
Dodge would hit for a while in the top of the sixth. Jenna Hickman walked to lead off, and she went to second on a single by Bellflower. A single from Jade Dowdy would score Jenna Hickman for 7-0 game.
It would be the second four-RBI game in the series for her. Aniyah Black would single home Bellflower, and the lead would reach 8-0.
Manning would reach on an error, and that would score Powell, who was running for Jade Dowdy.
Lann would follow-up with a hit that would score Black and Manning for a 10-0 Dodge lead.
Dodge would finish things off with RBI hits from Jenna Hickman and Bellflower that would give Dodge a 13-0 lead.
The hit would be the fourth of the day for Bellflower.
Jade Dowdy would close out the game in style, as she struck out the side for the 13-0 final. She pitched a great game, allowing only three hits and striking out six.
So, it is off to Columbus, and it promises to be quite a ride.
The Lady Indians are scheduled to meet Rockmart Thursday, October 26, 2017.
After the game, head coach Jennifer Bellflower commented, “Back-to-back region championships and trips to the Elite 8 isn’t enough for this Lady Indian team. We are out for hardware.
The team has realized that at every game, they must make a statement! We’ve had to prove to everyone that we are deserving and that we are willing to do whatever it takes to be on top!”

Dodge clips the Falcons’ wings 54-7
By David Bush
Homecoming 2017 is in the books. Congratulations to Gabby Hall, Dodge County High School 2017 homecoming queen and all the wonderful young ladies on this year’s homecoming court.
Our Dodge County Indians were looking to go 8-0 on the season and 5-0 in region play against the Falcons of East Laurens High School. The Falcons were winless coming into this game and facing an undefeated Dodge County team who were heavily favored to win this game. Games like this one make me nervous, because sometimes, the stronger team doesn’t take the lesser team seriously, and bad things happen, i.e. Clemson vs. Syracuse or LSU vs. Troy just this year in college football.
All week long, the Dodge coaching staff harped on focus. Focus on East Laurens and that game only.
To start the game, Dodge County won the toss and elected to defer to the second half. Dodge County kicker Peyton Bush kicked off to the East Laurens 12-yard line, where the Falcons returned the ball 11 yards to their own 23.
On the first play from scrimmage, the East Laurens quarterback dropped back to pass, and fired the ball across the middle where linebacker Tyler Ruffin was waiting. Ruffin intercepted the ball and returned it to the original line of scrimmage. From there, the Indians were in business, first and ten at the Falcon 23-yard line. Four plays later, quarterback Nick Cummings strolled into the end zone for the first Dodge County touchdown. Bush came in to kick the extra point and with ten minutes, 30 seconds left in the first quarter, Dodge led 7-0.
The Falcons then returned the Bush kickoff to their own 30-yard line. East Laurens managed to get one first down on this drive, before the Dodge County defense began to manhandle the Falcon offense and force a punting situation. On fourth and 20, the Falcons punted to the Indians’ 43-yard line where the Dodge County offense would take over.
The Dodge offense could only scrounge up five yards on the series and would have to punt the ball right back. Bush came in to punt and boomed the ball down inside the 10-yard line, but the ball managed to roll into the end zone before anyone could down it.
The Falcons got the ball out at their own 20, but the Indian defense would prove to be too much, and after three plays, were punting back to Dodge.
The Indians took over at their own 33-yard line. Junior running back R.J. Carr carried the ball on five consecutive plays and the Indians were inside the ten. On second and six, Nick Cummings faked the handoff to Carr and ran it in for the second score of the night. Bush tacked on the extra point and Dodge was up 14-0 with two minutes, 20 seconds left in the first quarter.
After another Bush kickoff, the Falcon offense tried again to get past the tough Dodge County defense. The result was the same. After three plays and moving backwards, it was time for the Falcons to punt again.
Erin Pitts received the punt at the Dodge County 47-yard line. Dodge wasted little time getting down the field. In five plays, including a 38-yard pass completion to Erin Pitts, the Indians were back in the end zone. This time, Carr carried the ball in from three yards out. The point after by Bush was true and the Indians were rolling 21-0 with still 11 minutes, 20 seconds to go in the second quarter.
The next Bush kickoff went into the end zone for a touchback, and the Falcons would have to start from their own 20-yard line. The suffocating defense of Dodge continued to frustrate the East Laurens offense. The Falcons lost four yards on three plays and again punted to Dodge. The punt was short and went out of bounds at the East Laurens 42-yard line.
On the first play, Nick Cummings hit Erin Pitts in stride, going down the middle of the field, for a 42-yard touchdown pass. Bush added the point after, and the lead was now 28-0 with eight minutes, 53 seconds to go in the second quarter. Again, Bush’s kickoff found its way into the end zone for a touchback and again the Falcons would have to start deep in their own territory.
The Indian defense picked up right where they left off and forced another punt. This time the East Laurens punter got his foot into the ball and drove our return man back, and a fumble resulted.
East Laurens pounced on the loose ball down at the Dodge County 33-yard line. East Laurens, finally down in Dodge County territory, still could not break through that solid Indian defense. The Falcons turned the ball over on downs at the Dodge County 27-yard line. Thanks to the offensive line, blowing open holes wide enough for a tank to drive through, and some strong running from Nick Cummings, Carr, and Pitts, the Indians would score again in just four plays. Carr burst through the line and outran everyone to the end zone from 27 yards out. Bush connected on the extra point and the Indians were now up 35-0 with three minutes, ten seconds to go in the second quarter.
After another touchback on the ensuing kickoff by Bush, the Falcons found themselves back in familiar territory, their own 20. The defense forced another three and out punt situation, and Pitts had a nice return. Pitts brought the ball all the way back to the Falcon 26-yard line. Freshman Daylon Gordon ran the ball down to the 11-yard line, where it was first and ten with just 20.9 seconds left in the half.
Bush was called in to attempt a 28-yard field goal. Bush booted the ball through the uprights and the Indians led 38-0.

Homecoming 2017 is in the books. Congratulations to Gabby Hall, Dodge County High School 2017 homecoming queen and all the wonderful young ladies on this year’s homecoming court.
Our Dodge County Indians were looking to go 8-0 on the season and 5-0 in region play against the Falcons of East Laurens High School. The Falcons were winless coming into this game and facing an undefeated Dodge County team who were heavily favored to win this game. Games like this one make me nervous, because sometimes, the stronger team doesn’t take the lesser team seriously, and bad things happen, i.e. Clemson vs. Syracuse or LSU vs. Troy just this year in college football.
All week long, the Dodge coaching staff harped on focus. Focus on East Laurens and that game only.
To start the game, Dodge County won the toss and elected to defer to the second half. Dodge County kicker Peyton Bush kicked off to the East Laurens 12-yard line, where the Falcons returned the ball 11 yards to their own 23.
On the first play from scrimmage, the East Laurens quarterback dropped back to pass, and fired the ball across the middle where linebacker Tyler Ruffin was waiting. Ruffin intercepted the ball and returned it to the original line of scrimmage. From there, the Indians were in business, first and ten at the Falcon 23-yard line. Four plays later, quarterback Nick Cummings strolled into the end zone for the first Dodge County touchdown. Bush came in to kick the extra point and with ten minutes, 30 seconds left in the first quarter, Dodge led 7-0.
The Falcons then returned the Bush kickoff to their own 30-yard line. East Laurens managed to get one first down on this drive, before the Dodge County defense began to manhandle the Falcon offense and force a punting situation. On fourth and 20, the Falcons punted to the Indians’ 43-yard line where the Dodge County offense would take over.

Good riddance to Reid
Are you outside the political lamestream? Let’s hope so.
The National Journal has a rating of the 26 most liberal members of Congress, voting from 90.8 percent to 94.5 percent liberal. All 26 are Democrats. Do not buy the line that both parties are alike. Some Republicans are still worth voting for.
Remember Bill Clinton blaming conservative talk radio hosts for the April 1995 Oklahoma City bombing?
“Once a story starts hurting the Dems, reporters drop it.”
George Neumayr on Spectator.org
As Rico on TheoSpark.net reminds us, “Gun Free does NOT mean “Murder free.”
Are you an extremist, fanatic or an anarchist? Retired Senator Harry Reid (D–Nevada) called those who disagree with Obamacare all three. Good riddance to Reid.
The U.S. Senate barbershop loses big money, a third of a million dollars per year. Of course it stays open and gets funded every year.
“Of the richest 1 percent of counties in the U.S., 43 percent surround the nation’s capital city.”
John Stossel on Newsmax.com
Yes, government hangers-on!
“Most Republicans say they oppose Obamacare, but very few are willing to do anything meaningful to stop it.”
SenateConservatives.com 9-25-13
It’s about the same today.
George W. Bush had both houses of Congress and the presidency, yet did nothing to stop Planned Parenthood. Some spineless politicians claim abortions are a small part of its operations, but 324,000 abortions per year (as of 2015) is not a small part. Planned Parenthood two years ago was getting over $500 million per year from U.S. taxpayers.

Letter to the editor
To the editor:
In the state of Georgia there are a thousand citizens living in Georgia’s state hospitals that serve clients with developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs. Many of these clients have little, if any, contact with or support from friends or family.
In 1959, the Georgia Municipal Association and then Governor Ernest Vandiver created the Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade to help these hospital clients celebrate Christmas by providing each with a present. The staff at the regional hospitals tell us that without the Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade, many patients would go without any type of gift or recognition during the holidays. And the giving does not end at the holidays. Any items not used at Christmas are used throughout the year to celebrate birthdays and other special days.
Our city has started its gift collection campaign and we are asking or your help. The hospital clients are part of our community, and we would like to encourage all of you to remember them this holiday season. If your school, church, business or civic group would like to participate in an outstanding holiday community project, please contact Katie Barrett at (478) 374-7721 or email at katie@cityofeastman.com for further information on how you can get involved.
Let’s not forget those less fortunate during the holiday season.
Jason Cobb
Eastman city manager
