The Pendergrass racer started from the pole, led the most laps and won the ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour 100 on Saturday.

But despite the nice stat line, Kelley had his hands full in taking his second win of the season.

After battling the heat and Casey Roderick for the first half of the event, Kelley spent the rest of the 100-lap race fighting Dacula’s Russell Fleeman for the victory.

The invitational is particularly important to the younger swimmers, according to swimming coach Pam Minish. The Invitational is oriented more towards novice swimmers while the Pentathlon is for more advanced swimmers who can perform all the strokes.

Two standout performances from the weekend came from McKenzie McRee and Kate Massey, Minish said. Both of the swimmers made good lap times in their races.

Jefferson’s park and rec baseball teams saw success in several places, and teams traveled around the area to take part in the Dizzy Dean district tournaments over the weekend.

Jefferson started out the 10-under tournament by defeating Jackson County Saturday morning, then moving on to defeat Towns County Saturday afternoon. Jefferson then fell to Fannin County on Monday, and was slated to faced Hall County in the losers’ bracket Tuesday evening. Results of that game were unavailable at press time.

Basically, it boils down to three criteria: which event has the most local connection to readers, are there photos of the event or participants, and how recent was the event.

The hard thing to explain is why one item runs and another is held until a later issue. The answer to that quandary is which will better fit the space available on the page. Your local sports editor would love to have every submission placed in each week’s paper, but the space is finite and is usually a first come, first serve basis.

On that note what is definable as a sport to be included inside the sports section is sometimes debatable.

Summit ET points race regulars returned to Atlanta Dragway this past weekend, and with good weather and fast speeds, they put on a great show for the fans.

Dragsters dominated the Super Pro final, with Jim Onda of Toccoa in his ’96 dragster against Tommy Motes of Loganville in his ’00 Undercover. The men were dialed closely, Onda at 4.89 and Motes at 4.93. Motes had a slightly better .024 reaction time next to Onda’s .029 light. However, Motes’ dragster failed towards the top end, slowing due to mechanical issues, finishing with a 7.76 elapsed time at 48.44 mph. Onda sped past to cross the win stripe first, in 5.09 seconds at 113.58 mph. According to Jim Onda, he “wasn’t even going to come today,” but ended up recording his first win at Atlanta Dragway.

It was his first time on a track over 1.5 miles in length and his first in a car that produced speeds well over 180 mph.

One would have never known such at day’s end as Crane brought home his #51 Phoenix Construction Dodge seventh in just his second series start.

After Thursday’s qualifying and practice session got washed out due to heavy rains, Crane was forced to a twenty ninth place starting position and only fifty minutes of practice race day morning to get accustomed to the two mile track and his James Finch owned race car. After quickly getting used to the track, Crane posted the fourteenth quickest time during the abbreviated session.
