The third time proved to be the charm.

In two previous trips to the state softball tournament, Union

County lost in the semifinals, but this year, the Tigers rode the pitching of Lexi Androlevich and Brooke Waters, relied upon solid defense and generated offense when they needed it in defeating

Chipley 4-3 in a May 17 Class 1A semifinal game and then defeating three-time defending champion Chiefland 5-1 in the May 18 championship game at Historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach.

“It feels amazing, it really does,” said senior catcher Devin Lewis, who had two RBI against Chiefland as well as driving in the winning run in a seventh-inning rally in the semifinals. “It’s wonderful.”

Androlevich, who gave up four hits in a complete-game effort in the championship game, said, “It feels like — I don’t know — a dream.”

It was quite a bounce-back performance by the junior pitcher, who struggled and didn’t make it out of the first inning in the semifinal game against Chipley. She was looking forward to her opportunity against Chiefland, improving her record to 19-1 in the process.

“I was very eager,” Androlevich said. “I wanted to go out there and show them what I’m about, what our team is about.”

Androlevich and fellow junior Brooke Waters combined to give up seven hits in the two games, with Waters earning the win in the semifinals with a one-hit

performance in 6.1 innings.“We have the best pitching

staff in 1A softball,” Union head coach Andrew Strickland said, adding, “It’s no secret why we’re standing here (as champions). We’ve pitched well, hit well and played good defense all year. We came to Vero Beach and did the same thing again. That’s our recipe for success. We try to do that over and over. It worked out for us today. We’re the 2017 state champions.”

The Tigers (24-2) took the early lead in the championship game with an RBI off a Lewis double in the bottom of the first. That scored Kamaya Cohen, who drew a two-out walk.

Union had a chance to increase its lead in the second, putting two runners in scoring position with only one out. Waters was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, while Madelyn Kish reached on a bunt single. Both runners advanced on Androlevich’s sacrifice bunt, but Waters was caught off third on a ground out by Macey Fulgham.

Keystone Heights gained

more than 200 yards of offense in defeating host Interlachen 21-19, but its offense crossed midfield only twice in a 12-0 loss to

Crescent City in a May 19 spring football jamboree.

The Indians, who played each team for two quarters, went with the same core group of players against Intelachen, but then gave more playing time to others against Crescent City.

Keystone head coach Chuck Dickinson said he was happy with the effort, but added it’s the effort the players put forth during the summer that will dictate how good they can be come fall.

“Our big thing is we’ve got to have a great summer,” Dickinson said. “Have a good summer, and we’ve got a chance. If we don’t do what we’re supposed to in the summer, we’re going to have problems.”

The defense had its troubles against both teams’ spread offenses, with Interlachen and Crescent City quarterbacks going a combined 25-of-39 for 323 yards and four touchdowns.

“Defensively, we allowed some big plays,” Dickinson said, “but of course we spent more

time actually on offense this spring than defense because we had some kids in baseball.”

Keystone, though, did get an interception against Interlachen and successfully defended a pass on a two-point conversion that would’ve allowed the host team to tie the game late.

Against Crescent City, the defense did come up with a fumble recovery as well as a stop in the red zone.

“That’s good for us to get those looks,” Dickinson said of playing those type offenses. “Really, I’d rather us play somebody like that in the spring because we need all the looks we can get. We need to see that speed and all that.”

In the win against Interlachen, the Indians gained 189 yards on the ground, led by Ty Friedlin (five carries, 56 yards), Blake Sanders (six carries, 57 yards) and Briar Smith (six carries, 56 yards). Friedlin, who didn’t get a touch until the second quarter,

BY CHUCK DOWLINGSpecial to the Telegraph-Times-

MonitorOn an evening that saw four

teams compete in five different match-ups, Union County would finish the night as the only undefeated team in their contests. The Tigers would earn a 7-0 victory over host-school Hawthorne as well as a 14-7 win over Newberry to complete the night in a May 18 spring football jamboree.

In other action, the Hornets would fall 3-0 to the Panthers to open the night in just a six-minute quarter of play. Hawthorne would stay on the field for the second contest of the evening and drop a 14-6 decision to P.K. Yonge in a 12-minute quarter. Next was another 12-minute quarter that saw Newberry shut out the Blue Wave 14-0.

Union County would finally take the field for the night’s fourth match-up and face off

against Hawthorne in an eight-minute quarter. Starting at their own 25, the Tigers would go to work immediately behind a strong running attack that would be the theme for them on the night. Respective runs of 16 and 27 yards by Trevor Rodgers and Charles Strong moved the Tigers into Hornet territory before a bad quarterback-center exchange would turn the ball over at the Hawthorne 25-yard line with 6:15 remaining in the contest.

The Hornets would go backward on every single play during the possession, including a 9-yard sack from Tyler Alexander. The Hawthorne punt was not the best, and Union County would take over again, just 32 yards from paydirt. A few plays later, Rodgers would punch it in from 4 yards out, and

Alex Perez kicked the extra point to secure the 7-0 victory.

The Tigers would end the quarter with 88 yards, all on the ground, from 12 carries. The defense was stingy, holding the Hornets to negative 16 yards of total offense and not allowing a single completion in three attempts.

The victory over the host school would set up the night’s main event between the only two undefeated teams left in the jamboree: Newberry and Union County. The final affair of the night consisted of two 10-minute quarters.

The Panthers opened with the ball, driving just past midfield before having to punt it away. The Tigers responded with a 91-yard drive, all on the ground, behind the tandem of Strong

and Rodgers. Strong would put a punctuation on the drive from 3 yards out to put UCHS up

7-0 with 7:35 remaining in the

Devin Lewis was crying following the May 17 Class 1A semifinal softball game between Union County and Chiefland, but it wasn’t because her team lost.

The senior catcher delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh, which allowed Union to rally for a 4-3 win and stay alive during the FHSAA Finals at Historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach.

“I was crying before I even stepped in the box,” Lewis said. “I really don’t know what to say. I just closed my eyes and swung.”

The Tigers had runners on third and second with one out. Lewis took a ball on the first pitch from Chipley’s Grace Gilbert. Lewis then swung and missed to even the count. A foul ball put her in the hole at 1-2. She then ripped a line drive toward Chipley shortstop Katie Hinote.

“I thought she was going to catch it, honestly,” Lewis said.

It did appear so, but the ball went off her glove, allowing Kensley Hamilton to score from third and Kamaya Cohen to come all the way around from second to score the winning run.

The Tigers had three hits in the inning after being held to four through the first six innings.

“You’re only going to keep us hitless for so long,” Union head coach Andrew Strickland said. “We’re going to square one up. With our best hitter at the plate, and the one with the most power — she hit it hard and scored two runs. We won the ball game. I mean, it was best on best. We won. What do you want me to say?”

Lewis said, “It was a little rocky at first, but it all came through at the end.”

It was indeed a rocky start as Chipley (17-8) scored three runs with two outs in the top of the first. Starting pitcher Lexi Androlevich forced the first two batters to ground out to shortstop Madelyn Kish. Lauren Finch and Tiffany Lee then hit back-to-back doubles, with Finch scoring on Lee’s hit. Androlevich then hit three straight batters, which forced in a run to put Chipley up 2-0.

Brooke Waters relieved Androlevich with still one out to record in the inning. Waters was called for an illegal pitch, which forced another run home.

Waters (5-1) was solid for the rest of the game. She allowed one hit in 6.1 innings.

“She was real crisp, locating her fastball, bumping the change-up when we needed it,” Strickland said. “I mean, that was a great performance out of her. She hasn’t pitched much all year, but we’ve got the utmost confidence in the world putting Brooke in.”

For her part, Waters said, “I was just throwing where the pitches were called. We were able to hold them for the rest of the time.”

The Tigers got on the board in the bottom of the first. Leadoff batter Teala Howard was hit by a pitch. Howard then stole second, but Chipley didn’t have anyone covering the bag. A throw to second went into the outfield, allowing Howard to advance to third. She then scored on Hamilton’s bunt single.

Hamilton moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Cohen. After Lewis was put out on infield pop-up, Tiffany Clark hit an infield single, which moved Hamilton to third, but Chipley’s Gilbert got out of the inning

with a strikeout.Union had a great opportunity

in the second, but couldn’t take advantage of having the bases loaded with just one out. Kish led off the inning with a single before Androlevich bunted and reached on a fielder’s choice, with Chipley putting Kish out at second. Macey Fulgham bunted and reached on an error, with Androlevich advancing to third. Howard bunted and reached on a fielder’s choice when Chipley unsuccessfully attempted to catch Androlevich off the bag at third. The next two batters flied out to end the threat.

The Tigers had just one runner in scoring position the rest of the way until the seventh, which started when leadoff batter Fulgham bunted the ball past a charging Gilbert for a single. Howard was then hit by a pitch for the third time before

Hamilton hit a grounder to third. Chipley put Fulgham out at third, leaving Howard and Hamilton on second and first, respectively. Cohen then hit a ball past the shortstop for a single, scoring Howard and making the score 3-2. Hamilton and Cohen stole third and second, respectively, before Lewis stepped up and

delivered her first hit of the game, which proved to be the game’s biggest hit.

“This means the world to us,” Lewis said. “We all try really hard to succeed, and it’s just great we got past this round.”

That set the Tigers up to win their first-ever fastpitch state title.

Keystone/MelroseJennifer Lynn DeLay, 44, of

Keystone Heights was arrested May 18 by Clay deputies for battery on an elderly person and resisting a law-enforcement officer without violence. According to an arrest report, the victim told firefighters from Clay County Fire Rescue that the defendant pushed her off a porch, causing her to injure her ankle. A deputy responded to the C.R. 214 address. However, the defendant refused to answer the deputy’s questions, walked back into the residence and locked the door. The officer then interviewed

firefighters at the McRae station, who said that while they were treating the victim, she told them her daughter pushed her off the porch. “The defendant then became very irate and began arguing with rescue personnel about what actually happened,” the deputy wrote in an arrest report. The officer then made contact with an off-duty deputy at St. Vincent’s Clay who was able to interview the victim. The victim told the deputy her daughter pushed her off the porch because she believed the mother drank beer, which belonged to the daughter. The deputy added that according to doctors, the victim’s ankle was severely broken and would most likely require surgery. The deputy then returned to the C.R. 214 residence to take the defendant into custody. “While attempting to place the defendant under arrest,” the officer wrote in the arrest report, “she began to pull away and resist by attempting to prevent me from placing handcuffs on her.

had what would be the game-winning touchdown on a 4-yard run.

Keystone fumbled the ball away at its own 29-yard line on its first possession. Still, the defense forced the Interlachen offense into a fourth-and-8 play, but the Rams scored on a 27-yard pass. The Rams went for two, but Dan Dodd tackled the runner short of the end zone.

The Indians answered with a 10-play, 70-yard scoring drive. After an illegal-procedure penalty on the drive’s first play, Adrian Ciena completed a 25-yard pass to Smith for a first down at midfield. Two plays later, Smith had a run of 17-yards to the Interlachen 29. Alex Cruz had 10-yard run to pick up a first down at the 16 two plays later, while two straight carries by Sanders moved Keystone to the 2. The offense got flagged for another illegal procedure, but a 4-yard run by Sanders was followed by Smith’s 3-yard touchdown run. Kicker Garrett Stanley added the PAT for a 7-6 lead.

Interlachen began the ensuing drive with a 32-yard pass completion to the Keystone 38. Two plays later, the Rams were on the board again with a 38-yard touchdown pass. The PAT put Interlachen up 13-7.

The Rams’ next possession didn’t go as well, with Sanders — after an initial hit by Dodd — getting a sack for a 10-yard loss on a third-down play. A short punt gave Keystone the ball at the Interlachen 33. Smith had three consecutive carries of 8, 20 and 5 yards, with the third carry taking him over the goal line. Stnaley’s PAT put Keystone back ahead by a score of 14-13.

Brandon Spivey intercepted a pass on Interlachen’s next series, giving the Indians the ball at their

own 25. Friedlin promptly ripped off a 29-yard run, followed by Sanders’ 31-yard carry to the Interlachen 15. Friedlin then had a run of 11 yards before crossing the goal line on a 4-yard run. Stanley again was good on the PAT, putting Keystone ahead 21-13.

A 20-yard pass play and subsequent personal-foul penalty helped the Rams move to the Keystone 17. The Rams lost yardage on a fumble and a penalty, but on third-and-17, they scored a touchdown on a 24-yard pass play. Interlachen went for two, but the pass was incomplete.

Keystone ran the ball 23 times. Ciena, who took all the snaps at quarterback against Interlachen, completed 3-of-5 passes for 23 yards, with Sanders catching one pass for 11 yards.

Dickinson thought his offense may have more trouble against a bigger Crescent City team, which proved to be the case as the Indians gained 55 rushing yards on 20 carries in the 12-0 loss.

Though he and his fellow backs were held in check, Smith did gain 34 yards on two receptions, both of which came on passes from Caleb Wiggins, who finished 2-of-4 for 34 yards.

The offense had two turnovers against the Raiders, but what really bothered Dickinson was the fact his players didn’t seem to be on the same page at times.

“My big thing was the fact we’ve got some communication issues,” Dickinson said, adding, “We’re not getting the right call.”

While Keystone went three-and-out on its initial series, Crescent City drove right down the field, with passes of 9, 13 and 17 yards moving the Raiders to the Keystone 22. The Raiders eventually faced a third-and-6 from the 18, but Hunter Stitt had a tackle on a pass completion for a 2-yard loss. Crescent City went for it on fourth down, but came up a yard short.

After the Indians went three-and-out again, the Raiders got a 38-yard run, which set up a 15-yard touchdown pass for a 6-0 lead. Crescent City went for two, but Nathaniel Davis and Michael Touchton tackled the receiver short of the goal line.

Keystone picked up its first first down on a 5-yard run by Friedlin, but the drive ended with an interception.

Crescent City then drove 78 yards for a 12-0 lead. The drive consisted of six pass completions for a total of 71 yard and was capped by a 7-yard touchdown run. The pass on the two-point conversion was caught out of the back of the end zone, leaving the score at 12-0.

The next Keystone drive also resulted in a turnover, with the Raiders recovering a fumble at the Keystone 48. The Indians, though, forced Crescent City to go three-and-out.

Friedlin gave the offense a spark with an 18-yard run to midfield. Smith caught a screen pass from Wiggins, turning it into a 26-yard gain to the Crescent City 26. Sanders then had a 6-yard run to the 20, but the drive, after a 1-yard run and a 5-yard loss on a fumble, stalled on fourth down at the 24.

Most of the Indians’ rushing yards were by Friedlin, who had 31 yards on nine carries.

Wiggins and Stanley both saw time at quarterback, with Stanley completing 1-of-4 passes, with an 8-yard completion to Ryan Williams.

“We’ve still got a long way to go, a lot of improvement still,” Dickinson said, “but I was pleased with their effort.”

Raymond AustinHAMPTON— Raymond Eddie

Austin, 46, of Hampton, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, May 18, 2017. He was born Dec. 6, 1970 to the late Raymond A. Austin and Sheila Austin. He was a lifelong resident of Bradford County and a firm believer in God. Raymond worked as a journeyman carpenter and rodbuster for thirty years. He was well- known for making people laugh and always having a good story to tell. He never met a person he couldn’t get along with, and he lived every aspect of life to its fullest. He could frequently be seen “riding the roads” with his best girl, Daisy, and they regularly enjoyed a good waterhole.

Raymond is survived by: his life-partner, Gretchin Crews; two children, Trenton R. Austin and Davin S. Crews; three sisters, Julie (Ken) Cook, Debbie (Billy) Geiger, and Loretta Dyal; two nephews, Billy Geiger, II and Joe Smith; three nieces, Alaina Lilly, Stephanie Smith, and Nicole Manganelli; and several great nephews and great nieces.

Family and friends will be received at the home of Raymond and Gretchin Saturday, May 27 from 11 am to 1 pm. Arrangements are under the care and direction of V. Todd Ferreira Funeral Services and Archie Tanner Memorial Chapel, Starke. Visit www.ferreirafuneralservices.com to sign the family’s guest book. 904-964-5757.

Michael Raulerson

GRAHAM— Michael Chad Raulerson, 26 years of age, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, May 18, 2017 in Bradford County due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Chad was born on Feb. 22, 1991 to Randy and Shirl Raulerson in Gainesville and was a lifelong resident of Graham. He spent most of his time hunting, fishing and spending time with his family. Raulerson graduated from Bradford High School in 2009. He worked for Jorgenson for two and a half years clearing and performing road maintenance on state roads. Chad took much joy in passing on his passion for hunting and love for the

outdoors by being a guide/mentor at the NWTF-Gator Gobblers youth hunts. He always had a big smile, positive attitude and made sure everyone was having a good time. He was such an inspiration to the youngsters that he was highly requested to be their guide. Chad is surely going to be missed by the young and the old lives that he touched. Chad was a member of Madison Street Baptist Church in Starke. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed it, especially when it came to children. While he was attending Madison Street, he loved to work in Children’s Church helping and guiding them to the Lord. Currently he was attending Life Spring Church in Starke, always lending a hand when needed. Chad was incredibly passionate and proud of his family and fiancé.

Chad is survived by: his parents, Randy and Shirl Nash Raulerson of Graham; and his fiancé, Karra Alday of Keystone Heights. He was loved by many aunts and uncles, as well as cousins and friends who were close enough to be family.

opening quarter.Things would remain that way

until the closing minutes of the final quarter when Newberry would drive deep into Union County territory, threatening to tie things up. The Panthers would make it all the way to the Tigers’ 20-yard line before a personal foul pushed them back to the 35. Facing fourth-and-6 from the 31 with four minutes remaining, Newberry quarterback David Robinson attempted to scramble and find a receiver, but would be sacked 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

Backup quarterback Keyshawn Young came in on the ensuing series and made an immediate impact with his feet, rushing for 12 yards, then taking it 43 yards to the house to put his squad up 14-0.

The Panthers were not done, however, and the Tigers’ defense, that had played so well all night, seemingly fell asleep at the wheel. Newberry drove right down the field, and with 1:31 remaining, Robinson would connect with Amonte’ Young on a 22-yard score. It would prove to be too little too late, and Union County got in the victory formation to take a couple of downs and finish out the game.

Tigers head coach Ronny Pruitt would say afterward, “A lot of young guys have got what we have gone over the last few weeks. A lot of these kids have never even played in a varsity game, and I’m real proud of them.” He went on to add, “We’ve got a whole bunch of packages we have not even put in yet. Our offensive coordinator that left us to take the head job at Bradford left us with a whole lot of arsenal in our toolbox, and we are going to try to use it.”

UCHSContinued from 2B

A pop-up to the shortstop by Teala Howard ended the inning.

Chiefland (21-7) evened the score in the top of the third. Sydney Parks hit a single, followed by a double by Emily Hallman. Hallman was right on the heels of Parks as the runners advanced. Parks held up at third, leaving Hallman unsuccessfully trying to get safely back to second. However, while the Tigers were recording the out at second, Parks scored.

Though the Tigers went 2-0 against Chielfand during the regular season, winning by

scores of 11-1 and 10-6, Lewis admitted to being nervous playing the Indians. Chiefland had a senior class of six players that had already gone 7-0 in state tournament games.

“We knew it was going to be tough because they’ve won it three years in a row,” Lewis said. “We just tried to keep our heads level and not think too much about it or too less about it. We just tried to do our best.”

Their best included holding the Indians scoreless the rest of the way and quickly retaking the lead for good in the bottom of the third. Kensley Hamilton led off the inning by dropping a single in front of charging left fielder Samantha Rolfe. Cohen

then hit an infield single before Lewis drove Hamilton home on a ground out. Tiffany Clark followed with a bunt single to score Cohen and put the Tigers up 3-1.

Chiefland loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the fourth. Rolfe was hit by a pitch, while Erika Gilliam singled. A ground-ball error allowed Aleaha Rhoomes to reach. The threat ended when Androlveich struck out Taylor Simpson.

It was the last inning in which Chiefland would get a hit off Androlevich.

The Indians got their leadoff batter on in the top of the fifth when Parks drew the only walk given up by Androlevich. Hallman then hit a hard grounder that threatened to bounce over third baseman Howard’s head, but Howard snagged the ball and recorded the out at first. The next two batters both popped up to Howard to end the inning.

Tiffany Clark scored the Tigers’ fourth run in the bottom of the fifth. She reached on a bunt single, advanced to second on Waters’ fly out and scored on Kish’s single.

Clark and Kish each went 2-for-3.

Fulgham, who is one of just two senior starters, scored the last run in the bottom of the sixth. She reached on a bunt single and advanced to second on an error before then moving to third on a sacrifice bunt by Howard. Fulgham then scored on

a squeeze bunt by Hamilton, who finished the game 2-for-4.

After two straight ground outs in the top of the seventh, Fulgham recorded the last out, catching a fly ball in right field to give the Tigers their first-ever fastpitch title.

“You know, it feels really good, but it hasn’t sunk in yet,” Strickland said of the accomplishment after the awards ceremony. “We just got done playing. The season is running through my head. It’s just hard to believe.”

Like her coach, Waters found it almost hard to believe at first.

“It’s starting to sink in,” she said. “It’s kind of surreal.”

For Fulgham and Lewis, who is the Class of 2017 salutatorian, the championship became part of an already special week that concluded with graduation.

“It’s crazy,” Lewis said. “It’s all happening so fast.”

With the bulk of the team returning next season, the Tigers will surely be a favorite to win it all again. Strickland, though, wasn’t ready to think about 2018 just yet.

“Let’s enjoy this. You work so hard to get here,” Strickland said, adding, “I just want to kick back and enjoy the success.”

Waters, who alternates between pitching and playing first base with Androlevich, said, “We’ll just keep working throughout the summer. A lot of us play travel ball. We’ll all just get better, come together next January and see where we go.”
