(828) 748-8207 kayleighbeheler@ymail.com OUTDOOR TRUTHS I'm convinced that most hunters and fi shermen never contemplate the outdoor world they take pleasure in. I know in my own life, that without a concerted effort, I only enjoy creation without ever giving it much deep thought. I've especially noticed this truth when I speak to hunters and fi shermen. It seems their eyes light up when they come to a realization how nature speaks very loudly about some things that really matter. And how sometimes we really do not see the forest for the trees. We would be very shallow people if we only saw nature as another avenue for our personal pleasure. The immensity of creation demands we question it. It demands we understand how our sport only touches the hem of its real value. Let's face it; we only play on the fringes of all that is out there. It is enormous. And the more we look, the more we dis- cover. We have learned in recent years our own galaxy is only one of about 3000 visible galaxies. It is estimated there are billions that are yet unseen. To put this in perspective; our Milky Way is estimated to be about 100,000 light years from one end to the other. And light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Now multiply that by billions of galaxies. And then there's me and you…………. In the scope of the vastness of the universe, we are less than insignifi cant. In import, we have no bearing on anything. We are not even a speck on the map. We do not deserve men- tion. If we are only an evolutionary blip, then what matters? Or who matters? Or are we all just insignifi cant matter? But what happens when we add God to matter? It's like adding yeast to fl our. It makes it rise. It gives it fullness and texture and taste. The universe, without God, is meaningless and thus so is the actions of its inhabitants. All that we see and enjoy in nature is also meaningless without God. That is why it is so important for those of us who believe in God and who love to hunt and fi sh; to look more deeply into the God-made things around us and realize the heavens declare the glory of God into our lives each day.

Central played a very tough Ledford team on Tuesday and if they advance will likely play North Davidson at home Friday at 7pm. East Rutherford's season came to an end as Franklin beat them on the road 4-3. It was an up and down season all year as they won 14 games, but lost by errors in round one. That isn't typical Cavalier baseball. Still, East Rutherford is a threat ever time they step on the fi eld. High School Girls Soccer R-S Central's soccer team was still alive, but had to travel up 64 to Hendersonville to take on one of best clubs in the state. R-S can score and are not bad defensively, but likely face the toughest matchup of the season. They lost to Hendy 3-1 earlier in the season. Central would likely go to Lake Norman Charter if they won on Friday. Thomas Jefferson won a fi rst round game against East Surry 2-1, but lost in the second round to Murphy. The Lady Gryphons program was the fi rst to ever win a playoff game in school history and still have the most playoffs victories in school history. All 15 in the last 9 years. High School Softball All three county high school softball teams are out of the playoffs by the end of round two. R-S Central, who won the conference handily picked up an 8-1 win in the fi rst round, but lost 3-1 to North Davidson in the second. It's sad because one of the better pitchers in the state in Hailey White played her last softball game. Eight others also played in their last game as well such as Brooke Vance, Madison Crain, Holly Newton, Taylor Stofer and maybe the most improved this season in Haley Wilson. East Rutherford was stunned at home in being shutout by South Rowan. The good news is that everyone returns to the diamond again next year. Chase ended up with a bad draw and got R-S Central during the fi rst round of the playoffs. They ended the season with an 8-1 loss. They had three key seniors in Sam Craft, Ciera Hardin and Makayla Gordon which sadly ended their high school careers as well. However, they did win 16 games this season. NASCAR Kevin Harvick won again, but he ran second for most of the night. For some reason, Kansas is a little bit weird. It was a quiet night, but a few wrecks towards the end helped Harvick out. There were times where Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. were on the way to victory, but all three ran into issues down the stretch. How many more races is Harvick going to win this season? He has 5 wins in 12 starts so far this season. And fi nally, this past week, Shelby Star Sports Editor and legendary media man in the Carolinas, Alan Ford...retired. I have known Alan for years and the one thing I will say is that he was genuine. He's very well respected and if he never thought that, I hope maybe this little piece writing will help him understand. Honestly, I have been in the business for 15-plus years and I am not even close to the same class of well-respected writers that he is in. He always was straight-forward with me. He did ask coaches tough questions, but tried to be nice about it. I have a ton of respect for the guy. He could tell you countless stories of his years covering sports as a nearly 40 year run came to an end. I learned some things from him just by watching him work and how he interacted with people. He comes from the old school of writing and there are some things I have learned off him as well. So, congrats to you, Alan. Cleveland County games won't be quite the same without you.
