LOCALS IN COLLEGE NOTEBOOK: Lawrence, Martin shine for Concord
BY TIM HAYES
Bristol Herald Courier
The Concord (W.Va.) University softball team struggled for wins this season. However, a pair of sluggers from Southwest Virginia emerged as top performers for the Mountain Lions.
Catcher Bobi Lawrence (Marion) and infielder Kalen Martin (Northwood) were among the top hitters for Concord, a NCAA Division II school.
Lawrence hit .247 and drove in seven runs. She went 5-for-9 during Concord’s three games in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament.
Meanwhile, Martin hit .148 with three home runs and recorded a team-high 14 RBIs.
Davis headed to NCAA Tourney
Virginia Tech outfielder Whitney Davis, a Tazewell High School graduate, is headed back to the NCAA Division I softball tournament.
Davis and the Hokies will play Louisville on Friday in Knoxville in the opening round of the NCAA tourney. Tech (44-15) won its second straight Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship over the weekend.
Davis is hitting .188 with eight RBIs and 11 runs scored in 48 games for Tech. The headliner for the Hokies continues to be senior pitcher Angela Tincher, who is 33-6 with two saves and a 0.57 ERA. During her record-setting career at James River High School in Buchanan, Tincher compiled a 9-0 record against teams from Southwest Virginia.
Abingdon High School graduate Nick Belcher is hitting .273 with five home runs and 20 RBIs for the struggling East Tennessee State University baseball team.
Justin Grimm’s freshman season at the University of Georgia has included a Southeastern Conference regular-season baseball title.
Eighth-ranked Georgia (33-17-1, 19-7-1) clinched the SEC crown with a 12-10 win over Vanderbilt on Sunday in Nashville.
Grimm allowed four runs on four hits in 1 2/3 innings of relief in the Bulldogs’ victory and the Virginia High graduate is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in 13 games (six starts) this season.

Bobby Brown Claims Whitney Houston Only Married Him To Save Her …
R&B singer Bobby Brown has accused his ex-wife Whitney Houston of only marrying him in a bid to save her tarnished reputation - insisting the union was “doomed from the very beginning.” The couple married in 1992, but their 15-year union was officially dissolved last year.
And now Brown has launched a scathing attack on his former lover in his forthcoming autobiography “Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But”– blaming Houston for the breakdown of their relationship and insisting she married him for all the wrong reasons.
He writes, “(The marriage was) was doomed from the very beginning. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married. I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children. The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart, that didn’t go too well with her image. In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation. I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world.”
