Silver Stars outlast Liberty 78-77 in OT

Posted on by

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- The San Antonio Silver Stars recovered after giving up a big early lead and outlasted the New York Liberty to get a needed win.

Shenise Johnson's jumper with 36.1 seconds remaining in overtime lifted the Silver Stars to 78-77 victory over the Liberty on Sunday. Danielle Robinson scored 18 points, Danielle Adams had 16, and DeLisha Milton-Jones added 15 as San Antonio ended a four-game skid.

The Silver Stars (3-5) jumped out to a 13-point lead in the first quarter before the Liberty slowly climbed back and tied it late in the second. San Antonio then pulled ahead by eight in the fourth quarter, only to have New York rally again and take the lead before the Silver Stars tied it in the final minute of regulation.

The Liberty also took the lead three times over the first 3 minutes of the extra period.

''Definitely proud of our effort, proud of the way we fought,'' Robinson said. ''We obviously let go of the (early) lead but the way we closed the game in regulation and in overtime ... we needed it and we buckled down and got it.

''I'm really proud of how we finished up.''

Cappie Pondexter had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Plenette Pierson scored 18 points for New York (4-3), which lost at home for the first time this season after opening with four wins. Pondexter also had seven of the Liberty's 21 turnovers.

The Liberty had three chances after Johnson's go-ahead basket, but Katie Smith missed two 3s, including one blocked by Jia Perkins with 1.9 seconds left.

''There were a lot of frantic possessions, but that last one,'' Smith said, ''(we) had some good looks, they missed, we come down, we get a look, I get a good look at one. Plenette gets a great rebound, (we're) tossing the ball around, blocked shot, game over.''

New York also had a chance to win in regulation, but Pondexter's jumper at the buzzer fell short.

Liberty Union High School District will better prepare for difficult graduation weather

Posted on by

BRENTWOOD -- Liberty Union High School District officials have agreed that they'll be better prepared for troublesome weather during future graduation ceremonies.

The informal discussion at this week's board meeting was prompted by soaring temperatures earlier this month that overcame 25 people attending Heritage and Freedom high schools' commencement exercises, a dozen of whom were taken by ambulance to local hospitals.

"We do need to pay a little more attention to the weather forecasts -- that's sort of the bottom line," Superintendent Eric Volta said.

Trustees didn't agree to make any specific changes at this point, however, because whatever measures they take will depend on what Mother Nature dishes out, he said.

Wind buffeted graduates at last year's ceremonies, Volta noted, sending mortarboards flying and prompting administrators to weigh down the stacks of diploma jackets onstage with water bottles.

The year before that it rained throughout the events, thoroughly soaking seniors (with the exception of one boy who wore a duck hunting outfit under his gown) and turning beaming faces into miserable-looking ones, Volta said.

Aware of the weather forecasts, district officials had considered postponing the ceremonies for a few hours in hopes that they could beat the rain, but decided against it because they feared a delay would interfere with students' family celebrations, he said.

Graduation dates are decided well

"There was no strong opinion that we should change the days," he said of trustees' comments at the board meeting.

What's more, if the district were to make the 9:30 a.m. start time of Heritage and Freedom high schools' commencements any earlier, participants then might complain about being cold, Volta said.

Liberty-area man dies in motorcycle accident

Posted on by

LIBERTY A Liberty-area man is dead, the apparent victim of a motorcycle accident.

Greg Carlton Scott, 58, of 3229 Flint Road, Liberty died Wednesday when the 2002 Honda motorcycle he was riding ran out of the curve in the 5300 area of York Martin Road in Liberty, according to a report filed by N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper W.J. Davis.

Scotts body was discovered Thursday morning by Earl Ferguson, a property owner who observed the bike from his back porch, Davis said.

Davis said his investigation showed that Scott was driving southeast toward Liberty on York Martin Road between 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, when he drove the bike off the road to the right and crashed. Davis said the medical examiner determined that Scott broke his neck in the accident and died around 8 p.m. Wednesday.

The trooper said Ferguson saw Scotts bike from his property across the road around 10 a.m. Thursday and his initial thought was that someone was trespassing to get to a nearby pond. Ferguson told officials he called his son and they went to check the scene. That is when they discovered the body, around noon, and called N.C. Highway Patrol.

Davis said there will likely be no further investigation into the case. He said all that is necessary to complete the states report is to await a report from the medical examiners office to determine whether alcohol might have been a contributing factor in the accident.

Community center to benefit Liberty Gardens residents

Posted on by

The Edward W. Corr Community Center and the residents of Liberty Gardens Apartments have something in common potential.

The center opened in May and eventually will house self-sufficiency programs that will help the residents of the 180-unit Liberty Gardens apartment complex become more independent, said Jim Baldwin, executive director of the Rome Housing Authority. The residents rent is subsidized by the federal government based on income.

The programs could be anything from a GED clinic to home-ownership classes, he said, but what is offered ultimately will be decided by the residents.

What well be doing later this summer is polling the tenants and saying, What kind of things would make sense? To the extent that we can make those things happen, we will, he said.

The center, co-located with the apartment complex at 200 N. Levitt St., already has been used for graduation parties, an afterschool reading class for elementary students and the Liberty Gardens Tenant Association meeting.

The new 6,000-quare-foot center offers a lab with 10 computers and Internet access, 1,600 square feet of meeting space for up to 272 people, and laundry and kitchen facilities.

The centers namesake, Edward Corr, has served on the Rome Housing Authoritys Board of Commissioners for more than 50 years and has been involved with Liberty Gardens since it was built in 1952. Corr, 94, currently serves as the boards treasurer.

The centers opening marked the completion of the $13.4 million first phase of renovations at Liberty Gardens, which also included the renovation of 60 rental units and building 18 new ones.

Phase two, the renovation of 50 units, is underway and should be completed by the fall, Baldwin said. The authority still is seeking funding for phase three, which will entail the renovation of the complexs remaining 52 units.

In all, the project will cost about $32 million, the bulk of which is being funded by federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits dispersed by the state, Baldwin said.
