Simmons continues success at University of North Georgia
By Russ Ragan
The journey has been a long one for Dodge High School Lady Indian Margaret Simmons, but it looks like she has found a home with NCAA division II power North Georgia. She was a four-year all region player for the Lady Indians. She was all state and all middle Georgia in 2013. She led the Lady Indians to a pair of trips to Columbus including a top three finish her senior year.
She continued her play at Middle Georgia College in Cochran. She burst on the scene, as she was 2018 freshman and player of the year. She was also all-conference in 2019 but then things changed.
Things would change after her sophomore season. Middle Georgia was in the middle of a coaching change. That’s when North Georgia and legendary head coach Mike Davenport stepped into the scene. She took a trip to the campus in Dahlonega and she was offered a scholarship and the rest is history. Simmons was looking forward to the challenge of playing for the powerhouse program and she got the jersey number 6, which she wears in honor of her stepsister Nikki Graham. It also didn’t hurt that North Georgia blue is her favorite color.
Simmons got off to a slow start in 2020. She was hitting just .245 with seven RBIs in early March when the sports world and mostly everything else shut down. I recently had the chance to talk to coach Davenport and he said, “It was a big adjustment for her to move to division II”.
Things changed in 2021 for the shortstop. She found her power stroke again. She was tied for the team lead with five homers and she leads the team with 18 RBI’s and a .420 batting average. Davenport said, “She has matured a lot from last season and she is settled now”.
This North Georgia team is a powerhouse. They are currently; 17-1 on the season and they are ranked number 1 in NCAA division II. They are currently 4-0 in the Peach Belt Conference going into a big double header on April 3 against Young Harris College on the road. Young Harris is ranked number 11 nationally. The games will be a big challenge.
Like almost everyone, the Night Hawks were affected by Covid. They were shutdown for a while after games on February 27. They didn’t get any games until March 22. Davenport said “We were just hitting our rhythm when Covid slowed us down”. Margaret was the Chic-Fil-A Night Hawk of the week for her play right at the shutdown.
This team has quality depth on both offense and defense. “We can run some good depth to the mound” said Davenport. They are led by senior Kylee Smith. She is 6-0 with a 0.74 ERA this season. She has 71 strikeouts in just 38 innings. The second pitcher is junior Laken Chambers. She is also 6-0 with a 0.00 ERA. She has had only two walks in 35 innings. “Kylee is my strikeout pitcher and Laken pitches more to contact and lets the defense work,” said Davenport. Recently in a conference double-header against Augusta College the two had a big day. Smith pitched a no hitter in game one with 18 strikeouts. In game two, Chambers pitched a three hitter over six innings. Smith pitched the seventh for the save. A fourth inning homer from Margaret in the fourth was the games only run.
The Night Hawks third pitcher should be familiar to Lady Indian fans. It’s Tylee Denton from Banks County. She faced Dodge twice in Columbus. “Tylee has pitched well for us”, said Davenport. She is 301 on the season with a 1.59 ERA. She has 32 strikeouts in 26 innings. “She pitched well enough to win in the 2-1 loss to Newberry College. “There were a few plays we should have made”, said Davenport.
The Night Hawks are strong offensively as well. Shelby Hamontree and Madison Simmons are tied with Margaret with five homers to lead the team. As a team, they are hitting .316 and have a strong .416 on base percentage. They are 44 for 48 in stolen bases. So, as you can tell, there aren’t many weaknesses on this team. They can also play defense. They have made only 11 errors in 18 games good for a .977 team fielding percentage.
Cody Davenport has put together a powerhouse during his 20 years at North Georgia. The coach won his 900th game in Wednesdays 12-1 win over Newberry College. They have won nine conference championships since becoming a full time member of NCAA division II in 2008. In 2010, the Night Hawks carried a 51 game winning streak to the World Series before coming up just short.
Coach Davenport and his Night Hawks put everything together in 2015. They beat Dixie State 5-0 to win the Division II National Championship. The team featured Laura Spivey that played at West Laurens. She is the daughter of Dodge County Recreation Department Director Spook Spivey.
Coach Davenport was inducted into the Georgia Dugout Club Softball Hall of Fame in January 2020. He has led his team with seven years with 50 or more wins. That is incredible. Margaret and her teammates will be in Milledgeville on Sunday, April 18, 2020 for a double header against Georgia College in Peach Belt Conference play. Game time is 1:00 p.m. for game one.

Dodge wins three behind strong pitching
By Joey Marchant
Dodge swept Lamar County and defeated Jasper County in Region 3AA play behind strong pitching performances from LandIn Crummey and Brendan O’Connor.
The Indians got started with a trip to Lamar County on March 30, 2021 where they came away with a five to one win despite leaving 15 runners on base. They stranded one in the first, two each in the second, third, fourth and sixth and left the bases loaded in both the fifth and seventh. Fortunately, Landin Crummey did not require much run support on this day.
Crummey started slow allowing a base hit and walking two in the first to load the bases before getting a ground ball out to end the inning.
After allowing an infield hit to start the second, Crummey struck out two and then threw behind the runner at first allowing Noah Cummings to throw him out at second to end the inning.
Dodge scratched out a run in the top of the third when O’Connor reached on an error and stole second. Crummey struck out but hustled toward first when the catcher couldn’t hold the third strike. The throw to first got Crummey but O’Connor was able to advance to third on the throw. As a result, he scored on a ground out by Garrett Durden. Davis Marchant and Cole Cranford would follow with consecutive base hits, but Dodge couldn’t drive them in. Dodge led one to nothing.
Crummey retired the Trojans in order in the bottom of the third striking out two. Crummey singled in the top of the fourth driving in Logan Slaughter who had reached on a base hit giving Dodge a 2-0 lead. Crummey allowed two base hits in the fourth but would have escaped unscathed were it not for a Dodge error leading to a Trojan run cutting the lead to 2-1 in favor of the Indians.
Dodge added two runs in the sixth when O’Connor led off with a walk and advanced to second on an infield hit by Crummey who was replaced by courtesy runner Gage Pittman. Garrett Durden laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third. Marchant walked to load the bases. Cranford was hit by a pitch driving in O’Connor. Braylon Mincey grounded out driving in Pittman, Dodge led four to nothing.
Meanwhile Crummey was cruising as he retired seven in a row at one point. Dodge would add an insurance run in the seventh when O’Connor was hit by a pitch with two outs. He stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball before scoring on another passed ball.
Crummey appeared to run out of gas in the seventh when he hit the leadoff man and walked the next batter on four pitches. Tyler Shields came in to relieve Crummey and retired the next three batters to preserve the Dodge win. Statistical Leaders for Dodge County were as follows:
Landin Crummey was two for four with a walk and one RBI. Davis Marchant was two for three with two walks.
Cole Cranford was two for fourth with one RBI. Logan Slaughter was one for four with one run scored.
Landin Crummey pitched six innings giving up one unearned run on four hits while walking four and striking out six.
Tyler Shields pitched one inning allowing no runs and no hits striking out one.
Telfair cancelled a game with Dodge citing wet field conditions as the reason. This was already a rescheduled game after Telfair cited a busted water pipe early in the season. I do not look for this non-region game to be made up.
Dodge hosted Lamar on Friday April 2, 2021. Brendan O’Connor took the mound for Dodge and was dominant relying heavily on his curve ball to strike out 13 Trojan batters.
Dodge capitalized on five Trojan errors in route to an eight to four victory. After O’Connor induced three ground ball outs in the top of the first, he led off the bottom of the inning with a base hit. Landin Crummey followed him with a base hit. Garrett Durden got down a sacrifice bunt, and an errant throw allowed Seth Cosset who entered as a courtesy runner for O’Connor to score from second. Crummey stopped at third and Durden at first. An errant pickoff throw to first went into foul territory allowing Crummey to score and Durden to advance to third. Davis Marchant singled driving in Durden. Cole Cranford followed that with a double, but Dodge could not score again and led three to zero after one.
O’Connor allowed two hits but struck out three in a scoreless second. Dodge went in order in the bottom of the second.
Lamar County would score a run on two hits in the top of the third, but O’Connor registered three more strikeouts in the inning. Dodge came right back in the bottom of the third when Garrett Durden singled and stole second. Durden scored when Cole Cranford reached on an error. Gage Pittman entered as a courtesy runner for Cranford and scored when Noah Cummings reached on an error. Dodge led five to one.
O’Connor struck out the side in the fourth and two more in the fifth as well as two in the sixth before being pulled because of his pitch count. Tyler Shields came into get the last out of the top of the sixth on a strikeout.
After going quietly in the fourth and fifth, Dodge added three runs in the sixth. Kade Harpe got things started when he was hit by a pitch and stole second. O’Connor singled to drive in Harpe, and Landin Crummey walked. Garrett Durden singled driving in O’Connor. Davis Marchant drove in Crummey on a ground out. Dodge led 8-1.
Lamar was able to score three off Shields in the seventh on a bases clearing double, but he eventually shut the Trojans down ending the game with Dodge on top eight to four.
Statistical leaders for Dodge were as follows:
Brendan O’Connor was two for four with one run and one RBI.
Landin Crummey was one for three with a walk and two runs.
Garrett Durden was two for four with two runs and one RBI.
Davis Marchant was one for four with two RBI.
Cole Cranford was one for three with a Double.
Brendan O’Connor pitched five and two third innings allowing one earned run on five hits while walking four and striking out 13.
Dodge traveled to Monticello on April 5, 2021 for a makeup game with the Jasper County Hurricanes. This was a pitching duel with Dodge coming away with a three to zero victory.
Landin Crummey got the start and pitched a complete game shutout. Crummey had some trouble in each of the first three innings as he walked the leadoff batter in each inning but battled back to escape trouble each time. He would not allow a hit until two outs in the fourth inning.
Dodge managed two hits through five innings. Those came off the bats of Kade Harpe and Cole Cranford. Dodge finally broke through in the sixth. O’Connor smoked a ball over the head of the left fielder which bounced over the fence for a ground rule double with one out. Crummey hit a blooper that fell between the shortstop and center fielder. O’Connor had to hold at second because it appeared the ball might be caught. Aron Barden entered as a courtesy runner for Crummey. Garret Durden hit a single over third base scoring O’Connor. With runners at first and second, Davis Marchant hit a ground ball to the right side to advance the runners to second and third. The pitcher was then called for a balk scoring Barden and advancing Durden to third. Cole Cranford reached on a throwing error allowing Durden to score. Braylon Mincey followed that up with his first varsity hit, but Dodge could not score again.
With Dodge leading three to zero, Crummey walked one in a scoreless bottom of the sixth and came back out to try and get through the seventh. Crummey got the first batter to ground out. He walked the next batter. That was followed by an error; Dodge’s first of the game, which brought the tying run to the plate. A line drive to centerfield was caught by Harpe for out two, and Harpe was able to double off the runner at second who could not get back in time giving Dodge a three to zero victory.
Statistical Leaders for Dodge were as follows:
Brendan O’Connor was one for four with a Double and one run.
Landin Crummey was one for three with a walk.
Garrett Durden was one for four with one RBI and one run.
Cole Cranford was one for three.
Braylon Mincey was one for three.
Kade Harpe was one for three.
Crummey pitched seven scoreless innings allowing two hits walking four and striking out three.
The Indians improve to ten and four overall and four and two in region play.
Dodge was scheduled to host the Northeast Raiders for a doubleheader on April 6, 2021 but results of those games were not available at press time.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Well, here we go again in perhaps what appears to be now, a plurality of American citizens to completely dismantle and destroy the greatest country on earth in support progressive liberalism.
Case in point: The tacit approval by the Biden Administration of millions of illegal immigrants crossing now, and more to come over our boarder’s via Mexico.
I remember in 2020, then, California Senator Kamala Harris accidently admitted why Democrats are so hot on keeping and letting illegal immigrants in our country. The hope these illegal immigrants will someday turn into Democrat party voters.
Let me see if I got this correctly. The Biden Administration, or, better, more than half of your fellow citizens voted for this corrupt individual, (“Biden”) and full well knew it too! never did want millions of illegal immigrants who had already received final deportation orders by our previous president, (Donald Trump), but remain in our country, because it might change the demographics of our country.
Come on, lets call a spade a spade, shall we. translated into English, what the demographics, really want is, do not remove those who have no right to be here because it might change our country, meaning we need these people to help us get, and retain power permanently. Democrats are so ensconced in their liberal bubble, “they cant see the forest for the trees” as the old maxim goes in what’s right and wrong. These perverse idiots are so morally bankrupt, pretty much know that they can’t get the votes they want with the current electorates that our founders gave us more than 200 years ago, so, their strategy is to change the electorate, or demographics of our country. This is the greatest nation that ever existed, and one reason is that we have free and honest elections. Elections matters because they determine the direction that “We the People” decide how we want this country to go. As already mentioned in this letter, apparently, “plurality” or, a greater number of our fellow citizens wish to flush this country right down the proverbial toilet in laws contrary to what our founders intended, even deleting, or striking out the founders moral equivalency and compass towards our Creator, God, as set forth now in their agenda of down right abomination in approving, voting of homosexual marriage, deviancy and aberrancy of homosexual and trans- gender integration into our armed forces. We have now become the Marionette strings of the devil. God is watching, and HE will have HIS way with this debauchery and sinful pleasures that America is indulging in. At my age, I still have memories of the Illustrator Norman Rockwell gave us in his painting. That was the honest God reflections of what America use to look like. Unfortunately, America has a new canvas to hang as a painting now. Just go in the backyard and dig up the lid of your septic tank, and there’s your master piece America.
As the old preachers use to say, “God don’t send you to hell, you sent your own self to hell”. And that’s exactly where this country is headed, if you don’t wake up and vote next time for a God fearing administration that is through the Living Jesus Christ, as I type this on Easter Weekend, how appropriate.

Delta Air Lines, run by professionals, they used to advertise before they went bankrupt, and Big Coke, both companies try to kick us around, now telling us how they want our state run. We tried to clean up the obvious election fraud from 2020 and the big corporations object. Apparently they like having the liberal fixers operating our elections. I would now fly Southwest Airlines when possible and avoid Coca-Cola products. Someone needs to tell Delta blowhard CEO Ed Bastian that he doesn’t have a vote in the Georgia Legislature. Neither do the Coke bullies. They’re lying about the Georgia voting law. It’s cancel culture on steroids.
Richard Anderson, former Delta CEO, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. Delta seems to have a bunch of liberals calling the shots there.
The liberal press and Democrat politicians claim rich folks are Republicans when most prominent rich people are liberal Democrats.
Democrats try to ban all provisions against voter fraud. What’s wrong with requiring voter identification? Illegal invaders never need ID requirements to enter the USA these days – just walk on in.
Liberals hate the big five: border control, tax cuts, term limits, oil drilling and all conservatives.
Under President Donald Trump we had the best economy the USA has had in six decades and now Biden takes a wrecking ball to it while listening to leftist “climate experts” who never accomplished anything in private life, never made a payroll or ran a business. Now they want to run your life.
“Firearms dealers should be able to sell guns by mail without seeing the buyer or verifying a signature. Just like mail in voting!”
Today’s question: How many U.S. states have a land border with Mexico? Can you name them? Answer coming up.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
There are two.
Each day we live we must deal with one or the other, the truth or a lie. A lie will always have to be propped up and it doesn’t care who tells it. The truth always stand-alone. Anyone who has no respect for telling the truth has no problem telling a lie.
America is a nation where its citizens seem to have more respect for a lie than the truth. Anyone who goes to bed with anger will probably be willing to tell a lie. The one thing about a lie is it does not care who tells it. As we look at the citizens of today it seem like telling a lie has become the order of the day. When we tell our children to avoid doing something today that tomorrow, you will hate yourself for, we are talking about a lie. America is not perfect, but she is the best there is.
Freedom is not free, but it’s not worth having if we do not have the freedom to make mistakes. If we want to know the cost of freedom, just visit the cemetery. America, God has blessed you for more than 245 years, are you ready to bless God through his son? Out of all that God has blessed this nation through, have the citizens forgotten how to fall down on their knees?
Individually, as well as collectively, do we ask how much do I owe him? America has been given the answer to any question she might be faced with, the Holy Bible. America is in deep trouble because she is doing it the sinner way, I did it my way. I can’t see how anyone can love what this has become. Simply look to Christ for answers and to history to present past mistakes. Love you Lord Bless

The USA is being run by a circle of socialists, not Joe Biden. He’s not capable of running anything, has trouble walking also. Watch out for those steep stairs, Joe. Fine job you’re doing. He could go down as the worst president of all time and he’s just getting started.

Democrat-controlled Congress is happy to import cheap labor and ruin the USA in the process. We’re also importing diseases we eradicated years ago. No need to have a health card when you crash the border. Demos want illegals to have a Demo left voter registration card instead. Many Republicans are in the game also; cheap labor never loses its appeal.
The Democrats used illegals to canvass Hispanic neighborhoods to get out the November 2016 presidential vote for Hillary Clinton, perhaps an election law violation?

Lady Indians win pair against Charlton County
By Russ Ragan
The Dodge County High School Lady Indians continued their slow pitch season last Wednesday as they played Charlton County in Jeff Davis. Dodge rolled to a pair of big wins. The first game was the only game that went toward league standings as Dodge took a 16-8 game. Dodge rolled to an 18-4 win in game two. Dodge’s game against West Laurens for last Thursday was rained out.
Dodge trailed 3-0 as they came to bat in the bottom of the first. Doubles from Brooke Perdue and Logan White along with a two out single from Gracie Lewis gave the Lady Indians a 3-3 tie after the first.
Charlton scored a run in the top of the second to tie things up 4-4 but then Dodge took over in there half of the inning. Hits from Kyla Howell, Dylana Barton, Makiyah Roberson, Logan White, Brooke Perdue and Gracie Lewis plated six runs and the Dodge lead was 10-4.
Charlton stayed in the game with three runs in the third for a 10-7 Dodge lead. Dodge added a run as Kyla Howell drove home Linzy Bowen for an 11-7 Lady Indian lead.
The Dodge defense kept Charlton off the board in the fourth. A double play from Gracie Lewis and Logan White kept the Dodge lead at 11-7. Dodge added to the lead in there half of the fourth. Roberson led off with a single and then Logan White unloaded on a long two run homer for a 13-7 Dodge lead.
The lead was 13-8 going to the Dodge sixth. For a second time it would be White with a long homer giving Dodge a 16-8 lead. That would be the final.
Dodge would waste little time in game two. Barton and Roberson would have singles. For the third straight at bat it would White with a long homer and it’s 3-0 Dodge in the first.
The lead was still 3-0 going into the Dodge second. Lauren Slaughter, Dylana Barton and Jessica Joiner reached and loaded the bases. A single by Roberson and a walk to White plated three runs for a 6-0 Dodge lead.
It was 6-1 Dodge, going into the third. Reagan Graham doubled to lead off the inning. With one out, Carson Etheridge, Howell and Slaughter all reached home base successfully. Hits from Barton, Joiner, Roberson and White plated six runs for a 12-1 game.
Charlton put the first two runners on in there half of the third. Dodge then forced a ground ball to Brooke Perdue at second. She tagged the runner going to second and she threw to Gracie Lewis for the double play but the runner going to third Lewis threw to Logan White at third and yes a triple play! That’s a 1-2-3 inning the hard way.
Dodge wrapped up things in the fifth. Chloe Nece singled to lead off the inning. Makiyah Roberson then hit a long homer and a 14-2 Dodge lead. The Lady Indians then got singles from Perdue, Lewis, Halle, Wise and Meg Lewis and its 18-2 Dodge. Charlton added a couple of late runs for an 18-4 final.
Kyla Howell was the winning pitcher for Dodge in both games.
