B S e c t ion • Thur sd ay, M ay 9, 2 013 FEATURES CRIME SOCIALS OBITUARIES EDITORIAL Regional News News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region Brooker woman has many blessings this Mother’s Day BY TIFFANY CLARK Times Editor Mother’s Day is a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood, but what happens when a mother is blessed with far more than she can attend to alone? First-time parents Stacy and Kelley Dyal of Brooker will celebrate this coming Mother’s Day with their 6-month-old quintuplets (in order of birth): Kyndall, Kayleigh, Kaleb, Kamryn and Kyleigh. According to the Dyals, they have been blessed with the support of many. Up to 20 or more “other mothers” from the area help to provide care daily for the quints while Kelley is at work at Clay Electric. (Stacy used to work at Clay Electric herself, spending more than 10 years there.) In addition, the Dyals are fortunate to have the steadfast support of Kelley’s mother, Margaret. There have been many obstacles to overcome for the Dyals, and to all of the people who have made overcoming those obstacles possible, they give a heartfelt thank you. “Helping care for and love the babies has taken the support of family, church families and the community,” Stacy said. “A blessing spread across many groups of people: grandmothers, mothers, family, friends, coworkers, former coworkers, women, men and teenagers. People from Starke, Keystone Heights, Theressa, Gainesville, Melrose and Lawtey drive the distance to help at designated times. Friends in the Brooker area make up the core group that consistently comes in as First-time parents Stacy and Kelley Dyal of Brooker are not on their own as family and friends have all stepped up to help them with their quintuplets, who are now 6 months old. scheduled or just stops by. “Then there is the ‘baby 911’ group, who can be called unscheduled to come for an immediate need, and the answer is, ‘I’ll be right there.’ The babies are on a four-hour feeding schedule. Matching the babies’ schedule to an organized volunteer schedule is a challenge—lots of calls and texting to get the two together. The best scenario is to have a caretaker for each baby at feeding time. The babies also usually cooperate by waking at intervals, so feeding times are manageable with less.” The babies were born at Shands at the University of Florida in November. Stacy began her hospital stay 40 days prior to their birth. “The first show of support was in September of 2012,” she said. “A fundraiser was attended by friends and family from Brooker and many surrounding communities. Some were from out of state. Many people gave gifts along with boxes of diapers and wipes. We are still using from that supply. “While in the hospital for 40 days prior to delivery by C-section, visits by family and friends were extremely helpful to get through that extended period.” There are many risks when carrying multiple babies, but for Stacy, who had a liver transplant in 2007, the risks were drastically increased. The Dyals were given the option of selective reduction—aborting one or more of the fetuses—but it was a choice they were not willing to make. Being fully aware of the serious and possibly fatal risks, neither Stacy nor her husband gave up. The reward for their perseverance came with the successful birth of all five children. The quintuplets stayed in incubators for a period of time at Shands because they were Honoring Mothers We celebrate the special women who have taken care of us and encourage them to take the time to take care of their health.

Tornadoes to touch down at state Adkins’ effort helps Bradford earn Final Four berth BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Ashton Adkins gave up four hits in the circle and drove in the only run of the game as the Bradford High School softball team defeated visiting Astronaut 1-0 to win the Region 2-Class 4A championship and advance to the Final Four for the first time as a fastpitch program. The Tornadoes (28-2) will take on Miami Gulliver Prep on Friday, May 10, at 2 p.m. at the Vero Beach Sports Village. If Bradford wins, it will play for the state championship on Saturday, May 11, at 1:35 p.m. against either Bishop Verot or Madison County. That game will also be at the Vero Beach Sports Village. “Oh, my gosh. It feels amazing,” first baseman Lindsey Wiggins said. “This is what we set our goal as. This is all we’ve wanted.” Bradford head coach Daniel Davis said with the way Astronaut pitcher Hannah Denny was playing—she gave up six hits and no walks—defensive play was a key for the Tornadoes. “The girls really played great defensively tonight, and I think that was the difference,” Davis said. “We were able to get some hits, but we weren’t able to string them together. To be able to play great on defense the way we did, and for Ashton to pitch the way she did, was huge tonight.” Adkins, like Denny, did not give up a walk. She had five strikeouts. “Every pitch, really, was working for her,” catcher Annie Luke said. “She just really threw Happy Mother’s Day What a great day to celebrate, a day that we truly ought to be thankful for. Someone just said to me the other day, “Why is it that the older you get, the faster time goes by?” Well, its hard to explain, but life truly is very short. So with that in mind...lets just pause and reflect upon our mothers and commit to spending more time, through visits, cards, phone calls and prayers. Where would we be without our mothers? Our country has been a great country, we have had a lot of fine men help mold our country, but the backbone of our society has been our mothers. They are there to nurture and encourage our children. My mother is with the Lord now and almost everyday I’m reminded of how much I miss her. You know we can’t undo the past — and that is so painfully clear to me. My mother was behind the scenes, never out front, but she truly was my inspiration. She told me I was special...she developed in me so many traits that have become crystal clear. JoAnn’s mother passed away in October. It has been a difficult time for her. She wanted to honor her mother at her funeral. I encouraged JoAnn to do the speaking, which she did. Hindsight is good, our encouragement to all of us is to “live in the moment”. The Bible says in Psalm 90:12 “so teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” In other words, only until we recognize the short time we are on earth, will we ever be wise. Our moms have since gone on to “Glory”, but we are left to honor the Lord. The Bible also says that we are to love God with all of our being and to love man. Wow, what a challenge, but what a promise. Our mother’s were one of God’s greatest gifts to us. There can be no greater calling other than that of a Godly Mother. Thank you mothers.

She just did absolutely amazing.” Adkins has given up a total of 11 hits and one walk in three regional playoff games. “She never has a bad game,” Davis said, “but I think she’s at her best in these big games.” Bradford put a runner in scoring position in the bottom of the first. Luke singled and then advanced to second on Lainie Rodgers’ two-out single. A strikeout by Astronaut’s Denny would end the inning. The two teams had a combined three hits in the first 3.5 innings. Bradford’s Taylor Cruce then led off the bottom of the fourth with a double to center field. It appeared as if Rodgers was going to put the Tornadoes up 2-0 when she hit a blast to center field, but Astronaut outfielder Bri Kasper caught the ball on the top of the fence for the inning’s first out. Cruce advanced to third on a ground out by Jordan Davis. That brought Adkins to the plate with two outs. “I just knew we had to have a run somehow,” Adkins said. “I needed to get that run for my team.” Adkins said she fought off an inside pitch, which she drove into left field for a single that brought Cruce home. “I wanted, obviously, more than one run,” coach Davis said, “but I was thinking one may be able to do it with the way the game was going, so to get that first one in was a big relief.” Astronaut’s biggest threat came in the sixth inning when Denny hit a deep ball to left. It stayed inside the park for a double, but at that point, the War Eagles (24-4) already had two outs. A foul pop-up to Wiggins ended the inning.

Thursday, May 9, 2013 • Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section 3B Santa Fe’s Becker set to cap 40-plus-year teaching career BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Santa Fe College math teacher Judy Becker said she has plenty to keep her busy during retirement. Therefore, she has no plans on returning to the classroom in any capacity once this semester ends, capping a teaching career of more than 40 years. Becker, though, admitted that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t happen. “That’s not in my plan, but a lot of things in my life have not been in my plan,” she said. For example, Becker did not plan to move from teaching in high school to teaching in college. She also didn’t plan to run for a seat on the Bradford County School Board, but there she was, serving on the board for four years in the 1980s. It seemed to be the essence of living in Bradford County, Becker said. Opportunities seemed to present themselves, whether you were looking for them or not. “There were a lot of things I never really planned that I was going to do,” Becker said, “but living in a smaller county as opposed to Duval or Clay County gives a person a lot more opportunities to do a lot of different things. I’ve done a lot of different things.” Becker is active in her church—First United Methodist of Starke—serving as the organist as well as singing in the choir, and is involved in such groups as the Kiwanis Club of Starke, the Bradford County Democratic Executive Committee and the First Coast Model A Club. Teaching, though, is what has been a part of Becker’s life since 1967. The eldest of John and Velma Richardson’s four daughters said she fell in love with math in high school, though she admitted there was a time in her life when she probably gave thought to being a lawyer. “My favorite show to watch back then was ‘Perry Mason,’ and I still love to read mysteries and listen to books on tape that are mysteries and detective stories,” Becker said. Becker, who grew up on a farm near Lamont, Iowa, said one of her high school teachers—Mr. Merrill—made math interesting. She said she particularly liked geometry, but noted with irony that she never taught the subject as a professional. Santa Fe math teacher Judy Becker chats with dual-enrolled student Michael Ortega before class. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Iowa, Becker looked for a teaching job—one that didn’t require the teacher to also be involved in athletics, which was a sign of the times in the late 1960s. “If you were going to teach high school math, they wanted you to also be a coach,” Becker said. “When I started out, I had to find jobs where you didn’t also have to be a coach because I was never very good athletically.” Becker taught at a small high school—she was the math department, she said—for one year, and then taught at a junior high school for one year. She then moved to Florida after marrying her husband, Les, who joined the Navy and was stationed at Cecil Field. (Les was later stationed at Mayport.) Becker’s first job in Florida was at Jacksonville’s Kirby-Smith Jr. High School, where she worked for two years. The situation surrounding that job was a reflection of the times as well. Becker became pregnant, and pregnant teachers were required to take a leave of absence starting approximately with the sixth month of pregnancy. Becker stayed out of teaching for a while until she and her family moved to Lawtey. A friend of Les’ in the Navy— Buddy Williams—who lived in Lawtey helped the Becker family make that decision. “We decided we’d rather move to the country,” Becker said. “I was raised in the country anyway.” When Becker’s oldest child—Michelle—was in the first grade, Becker went to volunteer at Lawtey Community School, where Jim Duncan was principal. Becker volunteered with a class that was made up of students in grades 3-7 who needed extra help. Two teachers of that class wound up leaving, and Duncan asked Becker to become the class teacher after the Christmas break that year. “It gave me a lot of respect for elementary teachers,” Becker said of the experience.

According to a recently published article on Stacy, she is the only person in the world that has carried quintuplets to birth after a liver transplant. After eight weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit, two babies went home Jan. 15, followed by the other three on Jan. 18. Kelley said the babies had their own unique personalities from day one. From that moment on, he had no fear of possibly confusing any of them. According to the Dyals, Kyndall is laid back and easy going. She is an excellent baby who loves to be held. Kayleigh was not the smallest at birth, but is the most petite now. No matter how small, though, she is the loudest. There is no in-between for this little girl. Happy or unhappy, you The Dyal quintuplets: Kamryn, Kyndall, Kaleb, Kyleigh and Kayleigh. know what is on her mind. Kaleb, of course, is Daddy’s boy and the only boy. He is laid back as well, but does not need any attention. The largest of the five, he only makes a sound if he needs something. Kamryn is the sweet and playful baby. She’s laid back, but will smile, laugh and make sounds as if she is responding to her parents talking to her. Kyleigh is content, but is the most active of them all. Always on the go, she is constantly moving around. It takes 30 bottles—which are prepared each night for the following day—per 24 hours. Each day, the babies collectively go through approximately 50 diapers. “For three months after the babies came home, local churches organized meal delivery schedules,” Stacy said. “Our home church, First Baptist of Starke, Brooker Baptist, Northside Baptist and Freedom Baptist provided meals throughout that time. In addition, many friends and family brought food items and paper goods to help out. The meals were appreciated and enjoyed by all who were there to help. “In addition to the handson support are the prayers, phone calls, text messages and Facebook comments to encourage and keep us inspired.” A mother’s day quote that seems to fit Stacy Dyal perfectly (attributed to Lilly): “It takes someone really brave to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child and someone special to love someone more than herself.” LAKE AREA SMALL ENGINE 7333 Kyle St. • Keystone Heights, FL 352-473-1212 *See dealer for Warranty Details.

There were almost 80,000 people attending the four-day event, and contrary to what some people think, practically all of the various seminars, talks and rallies were focusing on safety, education, responsibility, family values, legal usage and personal responsibility. There were reports of protestors, but we were unable to locate any. There were over 500 vendors in the display area showing practically everything imaginable from the expected guns and knives to ladies’ handbags and kids’ toys.

Seeing Mickey a dream come true for Bradford Terrace resident BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Doris Jackson may not have won a Super Bowl or any other such athletic championship, but on May 3, the Bradford Terrace resident could proudly boast, “I’m going to Disney World!” Jackson, who will be 78 on May 10, has dreamed of going to Disney World and meeting Mickey Mouse, kissing him and putting him in her pocket so she could carry him back home with her. She was able to accomplish all of that, with the exception of putting Mickey in her pocket. She may not have carried Mickey away from Disney World, but what Jackson did bring back with her are fond memories—memories made possible by Barbara Nicholls, the activities director at Bradford Terrace, and the Dream Foundation, a nonprofit organization that makes dreams come true for adults with lifethreatening illnesses. Accompanied by Bradford Terrace staff members Nicholls, Doris Jackson gets her long-awaited smooch from Mickey Mouse. Mindy Fulton, Michele Thornton and Sandi Winston, Jackson left for Disney World at approximately 11:30 a.m. on May 3, traveling in a vehicle furnished by Gatorland Toyota. The group stayed at the Hilton at Bonnet Creek and enjoyed a concert at the House of Blues. Saturday, May 4, was the big day, though, as Jackson got to meet Mickey himself and get that kiss. Before leaving Disney, Jackson was treated to lunch at Downtown Disney’s T-Rex restaurant. Jackson was born May 10, 1935, in Alabama. She attended Ensley High School, where she met Clifford Thompson, whom she would marry after graduating. The couple was married for 12 years and had one child. Andrew Jackson was her second husband, and the couple had one child. Jackson has 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Frena Lockwood, who is one of Jackson’s children, said, “Throughout her lifetime, my mother has always placed the dreams of others ahead of her own. The opportunity extended to her from both the Dream Foundation and Bradford Terrace to have her dream become a reality serves to prove that dreams do come true.” Blanding drill to bring 2,000 to area The Florida National Guard will host Vigilant GuardFlorida 2013—a national-level emergency response exercise sponsored by the National Guard and the military’s Northern Command—at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center May 17-23.

She is seated between her parents, Donna and Jerry Waters. Keystone’s Waters to play softball at State College of Florida BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor It may be hard for Keystone Heights High School senior Kelsey Waters to put into words, but it’s sufficient to say that Bradenton’s State College of Florida felt like the right place for her to continue her softball career. Waters, who was also interested at one time in schools such as Georgia Tech and Southeastern University, signed her State College of Florida letter of intent during a May 1 signing ceremony. “Honestly, it’s indescribable,” she said. “When you finally find that right school and you just have that gut feeling, you can’t describe it. You just know that it’s the right one. It’s just so exciting.” Waters, whose batting average has hovered around— or eclipsed .500—each season, was used almost exclusively as a pitcher this past season, but looks forward to returning to the outfield, where she played the majority of her games in 201112. “Hopefully, I’ll be able to earn a spot in center field, and I really, really want to earn a spot in the batting lineup because hitting, that’s my baby,” said Waters, who was Keystone’s Offensive Player of the Year the past three seasons. “I love hitting.” Keystone head coach Belinda Phillips said Waters brings power and aggressiveness to the plate. Phillips said opposing pitchers have a hard time pitching around her. “There’s not one spot on the plate she can’t hit,” Phillips said. The team needed Waters to step in and pitch this season after the graduation of Amber Skipper, but Phillips said she hated having to make that move because Waters was such an asset in the outfield. “If there was a ball hit anywhere near center, you knew she was going to catch it,” Phillips said. This marked Waters’ fourth full season as a varsity-level starter, but she also started some her eighth-grade year after being moved up to the team following her junior high team’s season. Obviously, the talent to play ball is there, but there was one thing in Waters’ life that put her in a bit of a self-described slump. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2011 and admitted the diagnosis got her down and in a frame of mind where she wasn’t sure if playing in college was in her future. Support from those around her, as well as contact from college coaches, put Waters on a track that culminated with her May 1 signing. She said having fought cancer now inspires her to work hard so she can avoid any more slumps. She is also on the right track in regard to her health. “I went back for my yearly checkup about (three) weeks ago,” Waters said. “There were no signs of any cancer, nothing unusual.” Now, Waters is excited about getting the chance to suit up as a State College of Florida Manatee. It has her high school coach just as excited. “I always just love seeing any of my girls sign and be able to play at the next level,” Phillips said. “She’s such a great athlete, great person and great student. (The State College of Florida is) gaining a great asset to their program.” KHHS grad Rachel Wells shines in 1st season at Ursuline College BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Rachel Wells, a 2012 Keystone Heights High School graduate, had an impressive first season for the Ursuline College (Pepper Pike, Ohio) softball team, which resulted in her being named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. Wells, who plays left field for the Arrows, was second on the team with a .306 batting average, while her .506 slugging percentage led the team. Her three home runs led the team, while her six doubles tied a team high. She also hit the team’s only triple. The freshman, who was recently named Ursuline’s Offensive MVP at the team’s season-ending banquet, also led the Arrows in RBI with 17 and was fifth in the conference in RBI per game. She scored 19 runs, which was second on the team, and had eight games in which she had multiple hits.

At the time, the school was experimenting with open classrooms—no walls separating individual classrooms. Becker was at one end of the building, Warney Adkinson at the other end and three teachers in between. “I was really glad to be on the end because at least I did have some kind of wall on two sides of me,” Becker said. “They don’t have the open classrooms anymore. I think that’s probably a good thing.” Becker taught at BHS until 1984, when she was elected to the school board. During her time on the board, she served on the state’s textbook committee to help select the algebra books that would be used in high school. The time on the school board also gave Becker the chance to further her education as she worked on her doctorate at the University of Florida. She also took a step toward her next teaching endeavor, teaching part time at Santa Fe College. Becker became a full-time instructor at Santa Fe in 1989, and it allowed her to have a greater civic presence. “At the college, it gave me opportunities to do other things in the community,” Becker said. “Most of the time, I could set my schedule so that I would be available to do things like Kiwanis and other things during the day, and then a lot of times I taught classes at night.” Becker, of course, has seen quite a bit of change at the college over the years, especially in the area of technology. She has gone from working on a Commodore 64 to using such items as a smart board—a digital, interactive whiteboard. “Santa Fe became a really big innovator as far as the use of technology,” Becker said. She also got the chance to see how students changed over the years. Becker is the adviser for the Kiwanis Club of Starke’s Builder’s Club at Bradford Middle School. She has gotten to see many of those students after middle school, when they became college students, or even earlier, when they dual enrolled as Bradford High students. She once had the opportunity to teach a son, mother and grandmother combination, as well as teaching a group of triplets. Some students have taken her class together and then gotten married. Then there are those who followed in Becker’s footsteps. “I had some who became teachers because they decided they enjoyed teaching, and they enjoyed math after they came into my class,” Becker said. “That’s always rewarding when you see that you’ve had an influence on students who then go into teaching, especially if they go into teaching math.” Becker said she and her husband would like to do more traveling during her retirement. Plus, Becker looks forward to the opportunity to spend more time with her grandchildren. Retirement should never become boring, though, because Becker still plans to be involved in all of the activities she’s involved in today. “I don’t have to worry about finding things to do because I already have enough,” she said. Becker said she will not teach in any capacity, but in almost the same breath admitted she can’t really say, “never.” After all, she’s learned that through experience. “I’m not planning to go back and substitute, and I’m not planning to go back and teach full time or even part time,” she said. “That’s not in my plan. Of course, plans change.” The Santa Fe College Andrews Center will be hosting a reception for Judy Becker in its boardroom on Monday, May 13, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. All are welcome to drop by and wish Becker a fun-filled retirement.

Thursday, May 9, 2013 • Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section 9B Wally Johns of Starke and Ryan Worthington of Middleburg take first place at the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors tournament. John Breton of Melrose takes the big fish award at the May 1 Bald Eagle tournament. Don West and Tommy Studstill take first place in the May 1 Bald Eagle tournament. Fishing reports, outdoors calendar When this report was written, a significant front was moving into northeast Florida and dumping large amounts of rain all the way into the central part of the peninsula. Consequently, it might nullify the picture painted by the previous week’s report for several days, but within a day or two, the typical spring excitement should return to the fish bite. The trend behind that typical spring excitement should include a reduction in the crappie bite as weight, and John Breton of Melrose took the big bass award at 4.87 pounds. Close behind Breton’s big bass was Darrell Kennington of Raiford with a 4.55-pound fish. The memorable outdoor event they seek cover in deeper water in which to suspend. The bass spawn should wane, but the bite should continue, especially at dawn and sundown. The bluegill and shellcracker bite should accelerate, especially around full and new moons. Away from full or new moons, look for bluegills around shoreline of offshore cover and shellcrackers on sandbars. Spring is also good for channel cats on the rivers. Freshwater fishing The May 1 Bald Eagle bass tournament on Santa Fe Lake was held in high winds, but it did not stop the fish or fishermen. Tommy Studstill and Don West took first-place aggregate Zach Smith takes the big fish award at the May 2 Sampson Lake tournament. of the week took place at the Sampson/Rowell Lake open tournament. With persistent rain, cool spring weather and high winds, 20 boats turned out for the event, fished hard the entire time and caught fish. If we lived in a just world, every fisherman would have been declared a winner. Given a case of reality, however, Steve Nipper Sr. and Steve Nipper Jr. took first-place aggregate weight. (Unfortunately, that photo was blurred with rain.) Zach Smith landed the big fish, which went slightly under 3.5 pounds and is shown in the attached photo. Great fishing! The 10th annual Northeast Florida Association of Realtors Bass Fishing Tournament in Palatka was a big success this year for both Haven Hospice and Wally Johns of Starke. More than $25,000.00 in proceeds was donated to Haven Hospice, and Johns of and Ryan Worthington of Middleburg took first place with a 23.32 aggregate weight and 8.95 pounds for the big fish. The two fishermen took $3,500.00 home in winnings. The Bradford County Bassmasters holds monthly tournaments, and the April 27 tournament was at Santa Fe Lake. C.K. Ryan and Brooks Morrell took first-place aggregate weight, and Mike Rhoades and Joe McKenzie brought home the big fish that weighed 8.04 pounds. The Bassmasters group will be fishing at Sampson/ Rowell lakes on May 25. The group fishes a different lake each month, including some that are out of the area. This is an active time of the year for bass tournaments, but not everyone is fishing for the competition. Warren Carver has been taking an annual family trip each full moon in May to Dead Lake east of Crescent Lake near Palatka. It has been such an enjoyable and successful trip each time that it has attracted the participation of Jim Ward and Jim Lewis. Apparently the folks practice catch and eat, and they have never come home hungry. Carver especially enjoys fishing for bluegills and shellcrackers, Ricky Smith (foreground) demonstrates the art of jigger fishing while Bruce Causey assists at the April 23 Crosshorn Ministries meeting. and the sight of his car on its way to Kingsley Lake is apparently a good indication that the bite is on. The out-of-area freshwater bite appears to be as active as it is locally. Bluegills and shellcrackers were especially active in Newnan’s and Lochloosa around full moon. Jim Sutton with the St. Augustine Record says that the channel catfish are biting everywhere in the St. Johns. Saltwater fishing Both coasts seem to be active, with little change in trends from last week. Sutton emphasized the recent surf action around Jacksonville Beach in the Times-Union. Good reports have been made for black drum, pompano, blues and over slot reds. Croakers and trout are again referenced in the St. Johns near Green Cove. Both fish are harbingers of the coming shrimp run, but no confirmation for the shrimp has been made. The shore fishermen are doing well with mullet near the Green Cove bridges also. Remember that the salt-water fish in the St Johns do require a saltwater license. Gary Simpson references good catches of Spanish mackerel, but also notes that catches of cobia, kings and tarpon have been reported on the western front— signs of summer. Tight lines until next week.

Ashton Adkins pitches in the first inning. ADVANCE Continued from 2B half of the sixth, but Astronaut pitcher Denny was able to record three straight outs. The War Eagles put a runner on in the top of the seventh when Holli Jones hit a bloop single with one out. A ground ball fielded by Davis at short resulted in a force out at second before Adkins ended the game with her sixth strikeout. Bradford will now face perhaps its biggest postseason challenge in Gulliver Prep, which has won its three regional playoff games by a combined score of 35-0 and is aiming for its fourth straight state championship. “Gulliver Prep presents a great challenge,” Davis said, “but when you get to the Final Four, you’re always going to play great teams. Hopefully, we’ll got out, play well and give ourselves a chance.” Wiggins, for one, thinks her team has a chance. She said a 3-1 showing in the Kissimmee Klassic earlier this season has helped the Tornadoes during this run. Bradford defeated two Class 8A teams at the Klassic and went 1-1 against two 7A teams. West Orange, one of the teams Bradford defeated, has reached the Final Four in Class 8A. “We’re confident we can go all the way,” Wiggins said. “There’s not a doubt in my mind that we should be anything less than state champions.” Visit www.starkejournal.com for more photos.
